Chapter 4

Author: Anonymous
Mom’s face was shadowed, impossible to read.

“What are you talking about? My daughter is alive and well…”

Mrs. Wilson was too caught up in her grief to notice the oddity in Mom’s words.

“This is Zinnia. I picked her up myself—there’s no mistake.”

Mom panicked. Her eyes turned red, and her voice shook: “That’s impossible! You’re lying!

She doesn’t even have a heart condition—you’re cursing her! Get out!”

She snatched the box and threw it to the ground violently. The box shattered, and a clo

  • Their Debt for My Heart   Chapter 9

    It was a long time before she could bring herself to leave.My stepfather glared at my disoriented mother in a fury and boomed.“It’s all your fault! Mr. Wilson refuses to cooperate with our family anymore!“How could you not know your own biological daughter had a heart condition and died? How dare you come back!”Mom stared at him, stepping forward sharply.“Why didn’t you discipline your own biological daughter? She’s a born villain who tormented mine!“You two made Zinnia suffer so much!“You’re hopeless—you’re crazy!”A loud slap echoed through the room. Mom held her cheek in disbelief.I gasped, covering my mouth instinctively—then sighed in relief.They couldn’t see me.My stepfather threw a stack of divorce papers at Mom’s face, telling her to sign them quickly.But Mom tore them to pieces on the spot, screaming as she attacked him.“I’ve always known you have another woman outside! You left your biological daughter with me to raise while you kept your son with her

    “Aren’t these all things you did? Why are you blaming me alone?“I just wanted more love. And you—didn’t you want to run away from her too?“We were just using each other.”Mom screamed at her to shut up, rushing out of Sylvia’s room in anger.I glanced back at Sylvia. She sat on the floor with her head down, saying nothing.I trembled suddenly, following Mom as she floated away quickly.Sylvia’s sudden hatred for me had only one reason: she wanted all the love for herself, and she saw me as a rival.If only she’d told me earlier—I would have given up.I only had that little bit of pitiful love to begin with. I could have given it all to her.Mom found an old photo somewhere.In it, a smiling Mom held a small child, standing next to a young man.It was the first time I’d seen this photo.The little girl in the picture looked round and cute, smiling at the camera—obviously a child who’d grown up in love.I was surprised. So I’d had a happy childhood once.But after I could

    “Zinnia was such a good kid. She always studied until the last minute before going back to the dorm. Once I mentioned I was hungry, and she gave me her boxed meal without a word.“She had a heart condition. I took her to the hospital several times. She only had an old flip phone and couldn’t transfer money, so she paid me back with cash she earned herself.“And you call her a liar? You killed her!”Mom stumbled, her mind growing more and more muddled.I watched as her expression grew increasingly desolate.I think she finally believed it.I really was dead.I hadn’t faked anything—I’d died on that SAT day, for real.When they got home, Sylvia looked anxious when she saw Mom.“Mom, why didn’t Zinnia come back with you? How could she do this…”Mom pushed her away, walking straight to the storage room.Sylvia hurried after her, looking worried.The storage room was at the end of the second floor. When they opened the door, they were choked by the dust.The room had no windows

    "You’re lying! All of you are lying!”Mom’s eyes were red with tears, still refusing to believe the truth.I couldn’t understand her.What was she holding onto?Mrs. Wilson sat nearby, watching Mom’s tantrum with her arms crossed.“You only start looking for her after she’s dead. The hospital told you the truth—you didn’t listen. The police told you—you didn’t listen. Now it’s on the news, and you still don’t believe it! If you’re so sure, why don’t you investigate it yourself!”“Zinnia is so unlucky to have a mother like you.”Mrs. Wilson snorted, explained everything to the police, and left without looking back.Mom held the report, her face filled with disbelief.“I’ll check myself… I’ll go to the hospital and check…”The police didn’t understand our family’s situation, so they just comforted her.“The child is gone. She wouldn’t want you to be this sad. Please calm down.”No.I couldn't help but argue back.It would serve Mom right to be sad forever.If only I could

    Mom couldn’t help but rush forward, her chest heaving with anger.“Did you steal my daughter’s phone? She clearly uses a smartphone! I send her money every week!”Yes.I smiled bitterly.I looked at Sylvia, who was standing behind Mom, her face pale as a sheet. She leaned against the wall, too scared to speak.My dear sister had stolen it.I still remembered asking to live in the dormitory during my first year of high school. They gave me a phone and two thousand yuan, telling me to pack my bags without hesitation.After I’d worked hard to settle into the dorm, Sylvia showed up.She snatched my phone without a second thought.“You can find a way to earn money yourself! I need this to buy merchandise of my favorite celebrity!”She was dressed in designer clothes, carrying the latest smartphone.Money was never an issue for her—but she just couldn’t bear to see me happy.I tried to grab the phone back, but she let out a scream and fell to the ground, holding my phone and cryin

Get out!”She snatched the box and threw it to the ground violently. The box shattered, and a cloud of ashes filled the air.Mrs. Wilson froze.She screamed, dropping to her knees to scoop the ashes back into the box carefully.When she looked up at Mom again, her face was filled with grief and anger.“You’re not poor—why is a teenage girl malnourished? Zinnia never complained, so I thought you just didn’t have time for her.“But now I see you never treated her like a child at all. You didn’t even remember she had a congenital heart condition!“I’m actually glad she’s dead—she’s final
