All Chapters of My Death Was Just "Drama" to Her: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

In the final moments before my death, my soul drifted to Cordelia Saddler's side. Cordelia was my mother.Mom's face was tense as she grabbed the doctor and asked, "Doctor, will Cindy's foot injury affect her career as a gymnast in the future?"Only after confirming that it wouldn't did she finally breathe a sigh of relief. Then, she started fussing over my younger sister, Cindy Saddler.Cindy lay on the hospital bed, coughing weakly a few times. "Mom, I think Flora was injured, too. Is it really okay that you're staying here with me and not going to see her?"Mom frowned in disgust. "Don't bring her up! I'm a spotter. Wouldn't I know her condition? What could happen from a fall at such a low height?"She patted Cindy's back and handed her a cup of warm water. "You, on the other hand… If you hadn't been worried about her, how could you have made a mistake and sprained your ankle? If you hadn't gotten treatment in time, she could've ruined your entire career."Her eyes were full o

Just because Cindy looked more pitiful, I was left to die.Enduring the excruciating pain, I desperately clutched at Mom's pant leg and begged, "Mom, s-save me…"She impatiently kicked me away. "If you're going to pretend to be hurt to hog my attention, at least pick the right time! Cindy twisted her ankle! What about you? That was just a minor fall. How bad can it be? It's a small injury. Get up yourself and go find a doctor. Don't bother me! "If Cindy's injury is irreversible, can you take responsibility for it?"The memory ended, but the intense pain spreading through my heart made me bend over. I wanted to curl up and hug myself for comfort.A steady beeping sounded in my ears.I saw myself on the hospital bed. I was no longer breathing, and the heart monitor flattened into a straight line.And so, I died.When I took my very last breath, the nurse never managed to reach Mom again.The more I watched Cindy and Mom being all loving and close, the more disappointed I felt.

The reporter raised both hands, startled by Mom's aggressive attitude. He staggered backward and nearly tumbled down the steps."Ms. Saddler, please calm down," he said awkwardly, clutching his camera. "A nurse from the hospital told us that before Ms. Flora died, she called you. Do you really have no recollection of that at all?""She called me?" Mom froze for a moment. Just as she was about to take her phone out of her pocket, Cindy suddenly began coughing. Mom bent down to pull Cindy into her arms with a few tears falling from her eyes, like she was heartbroken that her baby was suffering."You unscrupulous media, you'll do anything for clicks! Did Flora pay you to come here and put on this act with me? I'm warning you. If you keep harassing us and something happens to Cindy, I'll call the police and have you all arrested!" Mom threatened.The reporters fell silent for a few seconds, gauging Mom's confident act.Thinking they were intimidated, Mom started to run her mouth eve

According to Mom, I was jealous of Cindy, seduced men willfully, and brought chaos to the whole family. Because of me, her hair went gray prematurely, and she had aged faster due to being so stressed all the time. I let out a self-deprecating laugh, turned around, and refused to listen anymore. I accepted the fact that my own mother didn't love me.After Mom finished her tirade and received no response from the police officer, she grew even more irritable. "Flora caused so much trouble over such a trivial matter. She might as well just die somewhere out there once and for all to save me all the trouble!"She tapped the table impatiently and went on, "Hurry up and help me find her! Cindy is still waiting for her to come home and cook. How can I let my precious daughter go hungry?"The police officer sitting across from her stood up, his expression unreadable. "You are Ms. Flora Saddler's mother, correct? You came just in time. They brought her here half an hour ago. I'll take you t

Mom was unwilling to accept Bethany's criticisms. She tried to argue, "Wasn't it all her own doing? She went and found those media outlets to report about it. She's deliberately trying to ruin Cindy's reputation!"Bethany practically roared, "You… You're beyond help! If I'd known you were this biased, I never would've believed Cindy back then. She said you and Flora had an argument, but you were actually very concerned about her and wanted to be her spotter. "Otherwise, why do you think you were assigned to be Flora's spotter? She didn't even submit an application listing you as her spotter!"You're leeching off Flora like a parasite! Just you wait. What goes around comes around. You'll pay for what you've done. One day, that precious younger daughter of yours will be the one to destroy you!"After the call ended, Mom sat there in a daze. It seemed she hadn't yet processed the sheer amount of information revealed through Bethany's words. Her lips moved, but no words came out.B
