All Chapters of They Broke Me Trying to "Fix" Me: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Lorelei Judson's POV:"Lori, I heard that your parents won the bid for the wonder drug. I won't issue the official diagnosis of this critical illness, then. I wish you the best of health in the future," said Martin Snow.The critical illness diagnosis showed that I only had seven days left to live. I curled my lips into a slight smile as I lowered my head and signed the cadaver donation consent form. Martin, the doctor, was unaware of the fact that my parents had given the wonder drug to my infertile older cousin, Annie Harper, right after they won the bid. When I arrived back home, Annie put on a remorseful look. "Lorelei, you're finally willing to come back home. Please don't blame Aunt Jenny and Uncle Mike. I'll throw the medicine back up and return it to you." While she said that, she reached her fingers into her throat. My mother, Jennifer Goodwin, sided with Annie by admonishing me. "I'm still not through with you for faking your illness at the auction to get your h

I explained immediately, "I'm sorry. I was in so much of a rush to get out of the house that I forgot about it. I have the documents all prepared. "Annie, you can first sign the papers, and I'll come back on my own to get the remaining procedures done." Only then did the look on my parents' faces ease up. "You'd better do as you say you would," they said. Deep down, I chuckled bitterly. My time was almost up. These materialistic things didn't mean anything to me. All of a sudden, Annie brought up the job assessment that we took together last month. "Congratulations, Lori. The assessment rankings were released this morning. You placed first while I placed second, a whole ten marks behind you. My chances for the interview are definitely gone now." I smiled at her. "I'll give up on the interview, then. I'm sure that you'll succeed in this job interview." Right after I said that, shock settled across my parents' faces as they stood next to us. They were aware of how much I

The video of Lorelei's second memory showed Annie trapped in an alley behind school by two young thugs. "Annie, when are you going to pay back the money you owe us? If you really are broke, come and have some fun with us, will you?" Lorelei happened to walk past them at this moment and overheard their conversation.All of a sudden, Annie darted toward her, grabbed her by the arm, and pulled her right before the pair of thugs. "This is my younger sister. Take her with you so you can have fun together." Upon saying that, she smiled at Lorelei. "Lorelei, Aunt Jenny and Uncle Mike told you to take good care of me, right? Just do me this favor, then."These two guys are nice people. They won't hurt you." Lorelei's face turned pale in fright as she stared at the sinister expressions on the thugs' faces. "I want to go home, Annie. I have homework to work on," she said. When Annie realized that Lorelei was trying to escape, she clamped her hand over her mouth without warning, sig

Michael and Jennifer ushered Annie away protectively. Drenched all over, Lorelei, with tears streaming down her face silently, watched them walk away from her with such resolution.The third memory came to an end. Michael and Jennifer exchanged looks, unable to collect themselves even after a long while. Then, Jennifer put her hands over her face and burst into tears."Why didn't she explain herself? I really didn't know…" Oliver's face was pale. "Annie, did you only draw close to me so that you could take me away from Lorelei?" he asked. Annie, too afraid to meet his gaze, mumbled softly, "That's not what it is…"The fourth memory showed Lorelei lying on the hospital bed, sending text messages to Oliver as she clutched her phone."Remember to rest well after your surgery. Don't tire yourself out or catch a cold. Listen to the doctor's advice. I will visit you at the hospital once I get back to the country after my vacation. I bought a gift specially for you." However,

Michael turned to look at Annie. "Annie, hasn't our family been good enough to you? Why did you have to tyrannize Lori and even push her to her death?" he questioned. Annie retreated in fright when she saw the terrifying look in Michael's eyes. "It was all your fault. You killed my father! You made a mistake during surgery and ruined my family. You are all getting the punishment you deserve!" Right after she said that, Jennifer got back up on her feet and gave Annie three consecutive slaps. "Annie, we didn't tell you the truth back then because we were worried that it would break your heart. We didn't cause your father's death at all. He was the one who fabricated the medical accident in order to extort money from the hospital. "In the end, he brought about his own death. Your mother only drove out into traffic to take her own life because she couldn't afford to pay the compensation. "If I had known that you were so evil, I should have just left you to fend for yourself a
