All Chapters of My Mother's Love Is a Lottery I Always Lose: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Something warm flowed down my neck, running through my hair and staining the floor.The floor is dirty now, and I knew that Mom would get angry at me for that.I wanted to wipe it off, but I suddenly felt as if I were suspended in the air.As it turns out, I was dead.I knew what death was. After all, Grandma had also died on the floor like this when I was seven years old.She had been in a huge fight with Mom at that time, and she wouldn't stop calling Mom a haughty lunatic."Just say it if you love one daughter and not the other! What's the point of using drawing lots as a front and gaslighting Belle into thinking it was her fault? If you don't want Belle, then let her come with me! I'll bring her back to my hometown!"If not, then get rid of that damn lottery box, and love both of them equally instead!"Mom had then retorted with a cold laugh, saying, "How I love and treat my children is none of your business. Of course I love both of them!"But there will always be times w

In the end, Mom still made Anabelle's favorite dishes.Mom, Dad, and Anabelle sat together at the table, chatting and laughing among themselves, looking like a big, happy family. I felt a little lonely and went over to Mom.Suddenly, I realized that there was a cake box on the chair right next to her. I then turned to the stray cat at the window and began boasting to it, saying, "See that? That's the cake Mom and Dad bought for me. They didn't forget my birthday today."The stray cat just glanced at me briefly, almost as if it were making fun of me.Mom then took the cake and gave it to Anabelle, saying she had bought it especially for her because Anabelle had wanted it just now. She also spoke in a low voice, as if she was worried that I'd overhear her."Bring it to your bedroom secretly and eat it there. If not, Isabelle is going to come crying to me again."I had actually only cried one time, but Mom wouldn't stop bringing it up for ten years.Actually, I wasn't very upset

The police officers' faces were grim and solemn, and Lexi and the other neighbors screamed in shock.However, Mom and Dad stood frozen to the ground like they were in a daze."I knew it! Something terrible had happened to poor Belle! That stench felt wrong! How could you both, as her parents, not have noticed any of this?" Mrs. Richards exclaimed."Look at her! The poor child is now nothing but a mangled mess! How could you be so careless with her? How could you not check in on your child after so many days!"Mrs. Richards recognized the birthmark on my leg. Despite being a rotting pile of blood and flesh, it was still very clearly seen and identifiable."Impossible… This can't me…"Dad refused to believe his eyes. He looked like he didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.However, he didn't shed a single tear, and neither did Mom.They had already cried when Grandma passed away last time. Mrs. Richards told me that it was because Grandma was a close family member of theirs, and

"Your mom and dad seem to be regretting things now," the stray cat said. I've since named her Snowball.I was shocked too, that Mom was actually crying for me now.Me? The one with the worst of luck in the entire family?I didn't even draw the long stick this time. How could Mom feel upset for me?I simply couldn't understand it.Mom soon brought me back from the forensic lab. She bought me lots and lots of beautiful clothing, but unfortunately, my body was rotten beyond repair and badly ulcerated, and the oozing liquid quickly stained them all.Also, I stank."Mommy! Why is Isabelle so stinky and ugly?"Anabelle's timid question earned her a tight, hard slap from Mom.She didn't dare to speak anymore. However, a resentful glimmer appeared in her eyes when Mom wasn't looking.Dad bought me tons of things too. It seemed like they were trying to make up the past 13 years of my life to me at once. It was just that none of the things they bought for me were anything that I liked.

Mom said, "Love is priceless. We shouldn't exchange it for anything in the world, nor should we bury our heads in the sand like cowardly ostriches, afraid to confront our own selfishness."Moreover, we also shouldn't control our children too excessively, forcing them into a forced framework and robbing them of their childlike innocence and vitality."I hope that all mothers will learn from my experience and not repeat the same mistakes I made. You should also never make any excuses for your favoritism toward your children."If you want to love them, then love them equally."After giving her speech, Mom checked herself into a mental hospital, her hair gray and face weathered after the entire ordeal was over.Dad had tried talking her out of it for a long time. However, Mom replied, "I did something as vicious as replacing all the long sticks with short sticks and making Belle pick from them. If I can even think of something as evil and sinister as that, then that must mean that I'm
