Semua Bab Sold Out Thrice By My Own Family: Bab 1 - Bab 7

"If the system is real, then go ahead and trade your healthy body with your sister."My mom's cold laugh rang out beside me, and in that moment, I finally realized I had been reborn. In my previous life, I'd decided to test the system and chosen the swap in my mind. The next second, all of Erica Jenkins' injuries transferred onto me. The burned half of her face, the blindness in one eye, and even the limp in her leg became mine. Meanwhile, her face instantly returned to normal. She and Mom were ecstatic, yet neither of them cared how I felt. When I begged to reverse the exchange, they beat me up, bound me, and locked me in the room for three days. They didn't stop until I promised I would never bring it up again. Now, I pretended to hesitate as I watched Mom grow increasingly impatient. "But… what if it actually works?" I asked. A grin spread across Mom's face. "Then that'd be perfect! This is something you owe Erica in the first place. If it weren't for you, would she hav

The next day, Erica locked Mom in her room. To keep her from getting out, Erica refused even to open the door to bring her food or water. She simply left Mom there. Mom was left with Erica's sickly, frail body. After barely a day, she could no longer endure it. She clawed at the door and begged, "I won't change my mind. I swear I won't undo the swap. Just let me out, okay? I haven't eaten or had any water all day. If this goes on, I'll die…"Yet, Erica didn't budge. A cruel smile spread across her face as she retorted, "You won't die. Bianca went four days without food when she was stuck in that wheelchair, and she survived just fine. I'm sure you can too."At that moment, all hope left Mom. By the second day, she no longer had the strength to scream. No one knew whether she was alive or dead. Meanwhile, Erica took Mom's card and spent the next couple of days shopping nonstop. She bought all the pretty clothes and dresses she'd never been able to wear before, trying them on o

"How could you be so heartless?" Mom yelled. "Just because I'm disfigured and lost an eye, you look down on me? You don't even want to admit we're your family anymore, do you?"Did you ever stop to think that I ended up like this because of you? After everything I went through to raise you…"Her face flushed red with anger. But as more people gathered around, she seamlessly slipped into playing the victim. At the same time, Erica pulled up photos of the three of us on her phone as proof that they were my family. In no time, the way the crowd looked at me changed. "So, that's really her mom. That's messed up. Her mother's in that condition, and she still left home for university," someone commented."And her mom ended up like that because of her."Another added, "I knew it. Good grades don't mean good character. What an ingrate! Can the university expel her already?""I can't believe I breathe the same air as her!"The insults kept coming, while Mom and Erica looked more ple

When I got home, Mom had already laid out a huge spread. Compared to three years earlier, she'd grown painfully thin, little more than skin and bones. Gray streaked her hair, and she looked less like a woman in her 40s than someone decades older. The burn scars on her face hadn't faded with time. If anything, they'd become more severe and grotesque. Mom eagerly pulled me toward the table, saying, "Take a seat. I made all your favorite dishes."I glanced over the dishes and let out a dry laugh. "These are Erica's favorites. Besides… I'm allergic to fish."Right in the center of the table sat a platter of baked salmon. Mom's smile faltered instantly, and embarrassment crossed her features. "Oh, please. You should be grateful there's food on the table at all. Don't be so picky!" Erica snapped, walking over with an irritated look. "Your exchange system is working again now, right? I already picked someone out. She's a billionaire heiress. Swap our identities. I can't stand li
