Chapter 11

Back then, I already had a feeling that this "Mom" was wearing Mom's skin. How else could she pull it off so convincingly?She let go of me and scoffed. "You're smart enough to figure it out, but dumb enough not to even realize your mom's been gone for ages."I didn't have time to argue. With a cold tone, I asked, "So, how did my mom die?"I just needed to know who was behind it.She didn't answer right away. Instead, she stood up, lifted her shirt, and showed her belly.The skin, which should've been pale and smooth, was covered in bruises and cigarette burns. And, even worse, I could see faint knife scars.I stared in shock. "My mom was abused?""Yeah, she was abused the whole time. Didn't you know she'd been stuck in an abusive relationship for years?"Abusive relationship?I'd read countless stories online about abusive relationships, and they were all heartbreaking. But I always thought that was something that happened to other people, not my family.Dad was always gentl

I cried for a long time, all the way until Dad and Grandma came back. They brought with them a middle-aged guy who looked like some kind of exorcist.As soon as they walked in, they pointed at the woman next to me and yelled, "Sir, that's her!

Grandma shot me a look full of pure hatred. "You're such an ungrateful brat! How could you team up with a ghost to hurt me and your dad? Don't you have any conscience?"I laughed bitterly. "Conscience? Maybe you should ask yourself if you even have any. Where was your conscience when you killed my mom?""She had it coming! She was worthless. She couldn't even give birth to a son, so what was the point of keeping her around? She'd rather die than have another kid, wouldn't she? So, we were actually doing her a favor. What's the big deal?"If my son hadn't been so kind and stayed with her, she wouldn't have had all those good years, would she?" Grandma yelled.I never truly understood until now. They didn't just kill Mom to turn her into their maid. They saw her as a breeding machine. It made me sick.And as for those "good years" Grandma talked about, was she referring to Mom's never-ending days of cooking, cleaning, getting beaten, and being abused by Dad?If that were what they
