Perfect Daughter Academy: My Mom's Biggest Regret Chapter 10
After Mom wheeled me back to my hospital room, an unexpected visitor arrived. It was Dad. 13 years had passed since I'd last seen him, and I barely recognized him anymore. The second he walked in, he started laying into Mom. "So, this is how you've been taking care of Natalie? Hate me all you want, but how could you do this to her? She's your daughter!"By then, I was frighteningly thin. My bones showed through my skin, as if I hadn't eaten in a long time. But of all people, he had no right to say any of that.Mom stared at him coldly and snapped, "You walked out on this family. You were the one who abandoned Natalie! For 13 years, you never once cared enough to ask about her. And now you think you have the right to judge me?"Dad lowered his head, yet the sadness in his eyes was impossible to miss. After he left us for the other woman, she got pregnant almost immediately. He'd raised that child for 12 years before discovering the boy wasn't even his.Only then did he think o
Perfect Daughter Academy: My Mom's Biggest Regret Chapter 9
On a quiet morning, I finally closed my eyes forever. But my soul remained, lingering above the hospital bed. Mom came in carrying my favorite cinnamon oatmeal and found that I was still asleep. She sat down beside me, then carefully spooned the oatmeal from the thermos into a bowl."You're still asleep? Maybe that's a good thing. The more you rest, the better you'll feel," she said. "Something strange happened this morning, Nat. The oatmeal just refused to cook right, or I would've gotten here sooner."She added, "Nat, let's go watch the sunset this evening. You worked so hard all these years. You were always leaving before sunrise and coming home after dark. "And yet, I never gave you the chance to enjoy life. You told me once that you wanted to see the sunset, but I never took it seriously."Mom kept talking to herself while tears slid down her face and fell into the oatmeal, sending small ripples across the surface.I guessed she had sensed it somehow. Maybe there really wa

At 9:00 pm that night, the doctor rushed into my ward. He said the hospital had just brought in a highly effective drug. It could ease my pain and buy me three more days. But the price was staggering—600 thousand dollars for three days. It was absurd. Mom, however, agreed without a second thought. "We'll take it!"I used every ounce of strength I had left to shout at her. "Are you out of your mind? 600 thousand dollars for three days? I don't want to live like this anymore. I've had enough!"My nose stung, and tears streamed down my face uncontrollably. Then, Mom carefully took my hand. "Nat, I don't want to lose you. Stay with me a few more days, okay?"In that instant, she looked years older. The streaks of gray at her temples sent a pang through my chest. But I turned away, refusing to look at either her or the doctor. …In the end, Mom got her way. She still went through with the treatment. And it really did ease the pain. I could even get out of bed and walk around a

Mom had barely stopped crying when the tears came back. The more she wiped, the faster they fell. It was as if they would never stop. "Don't overthink it. The first doctor made a mistake. It's only early-stage. We can still treat this."Maybe she didn't even realize how badly her voice was trembling with grief. I smiled and turned to face the wall. Then, a sharp stench hit me. At this point, I'd already lost all control of my bladder and bowels.Without hesitation, Mom stepped forward to help me into clean clothes. My eyes stung with unshed tears as I pushed her away. "That's enough! I don't need your help! I can do it myself."Mom stood frozen in place, at a loss for what to do. She looked just like I used to as a kid when I got scolded. "Nat, you're my daughter. Let me take care of you."I knew how particular Mom was about cleanliness. So, at the end of my life, I wanted to leave her with at least a few good memories of me. "I said I could do it myself."With that, I t

Mom reeled back, both hands flying to her mouth as she shook her head over and over. A moment later, she slowly crouched down."I-It's all my fault… I should've realized it sooner. I should've known!" she muttered, tears slipping through her fingers.I could see Mom through the open door, and for the first time, I saw genuine remorse on her face.Maybe she did love me. But she had hidden it so deeply that by the time I finally realized it, it was already too late. After what felt like forever, Mom finally rose to her feet. Her lips trembled as she asked cautiously, "It's early-stage, right? It can still be treated."It sounded less like she was speaking to the doctor and more like she was trying to convince herself. "I had early-stage brain cancer too. They caught it early enough. It's been five years, and I'm still fine. As long as you treat it in time, she'll be okay, right?"The words spilled out of her as she stared at the doctor without blinking. He looked away, unable

Mom's anguished sobs filled my ears. However, I no longer had the strength to wipe away her tears. I was barely conscious as they rushed me to the hospital. The entire way there, all I could hear was Mom's voice. But for once, there was no criticism or mockery, only concern. A dull ache spread through my chest. Why had all of this come so late?"Nat, what's wrong? Open your eyes and look at me. Did something happen at the academy? Did someone bully you? Tell me. I'll make sure nobody touches you again."I wanted to tell her no one there had ever bullied me and that the one who had hurt me was right beside me. "Nat, if anything happens to you, how am I supposed to go on living?"Mom nearly collapsed from crying. A paramedic had to support her before she finally managed to steady herself. The paramedic spoke gently. "She needs peace and quiet right now. And you're the only family she has. If you fall apart too, who's going to take care of her?"Her words worked. Mom immedia
