Chapter 1

A suffocating feeling, like death itself gripping my throat, suddenly crashed over me. My vision went black and my body collapsed onto the blood donation table.The needle shifted with the impact, and blood began flowing backward through the tube.The nurse drawing my blood, Sharon Jones, shoved me impatiently and yanked the needle out."I'm trying to draw blood here. Can you stop moving around? Now I have to stick you again!"When I did not respond, a flash of disgust crossed her face. She gripped the needle and drove it hard into my arm."Oops, missed the vein. You don't mind, right?"Sharon deliberately stabbed me several more times before finally stopping, leaving my arm bruised blue and purple.However, by then, I could not feel pain anymore."Well, I'll give you credit for enduring it. No sense of collective spirit at all. Everyone's donating blood and you're here pretending to be sick and fainting."It's only 400 milliliters. Everyone else donated. You're the only one a

I lay motionless on the ground.Trembling with rage, my mother stepped forward and stomped hard on my wrist."Briana, pretending to be dead in front of everyone just to embarrass me. Are you very proud of yourself?"Do you think being my daughter means you get special treatment?"The biggest mistake of my life was insisting on giving birth to you in the first place!"Several people nearby gasped sharply.Sharon covered her mouth, but the delight in her eyes was impossible to hide.My heart clenched painfully, like someone had twisted it with both hands.Mom had gone through IVF three times before finally conceiving me. I knew how much she had suffered just to bring me into this world.Then I was born premature and developed chronic anemia.To take care of me, she learned massage therapy and nutritional cooking. She filled notebook after notebook with handwritten notes. Every time I got sick, she would stay awake all night in fear.However, after I entered university, everyth

Hearing that, the dean tried to calm my mother down."Mrs. Cole, blood donation should be voluntary. If she really doesn't want to do it, then forget it."With that, he turned and left.Mom lowered her head and glanced at me. The anger in her eyes only burned hotter."So you're still not getting up? Fine. Then stay on the ground while they draw your blood."Sharon, just draw it like this. Once you're done, leave her there. If she wants to lie there pretending, let her. Don't let her hold up the students behind her."After saying that, Mom did not even spare me another look before walking away.Sharon picked up the needle and blood bag, then jammed the needle viciously into my vein. She did not stop until she had drawn the full four hundred milliliters.When she finished, she nudged me with her foot."You can get up now. The blood's already been drawn, there's no point acting anymore. Besides, Mrs. Cole isn't even here. Nobody's watching your performance."When I did not move,

Under the blazing sun, the temperature kept climbing.Students around campus gradually stopped lingering outside and hurried back to their dorms.The smell of decay slowly began to seep from my body, drawing over several stray cats that roamed the school grounds.I lay there completely helpless, unable to run, unable to call for help.All I could do was watch as they tore at my flesh with their teeth.It hurt so much.My soul desperately drifted toward my mother's office, only to find her happily chatting with Sharon.Sharon flipped through my mother's notebook with wide-eyed amazement, her face full of envy."Wow, Mrs. Cole, are these all the nutritional meals you made for Briana?"Every dish has instructions and health benefits written down. You must've been keeping this notebook for years."The moment I saw the notebook in her hands, my eyes stung.My mother had started writing in it the day I was born. She always said that as long as she followed the recipes inside, I wo

The office fell silent for a moment.Standing off to the side, Sharon spoke softly. "Mrs. Cole, don't believe her. Briana definitely hired people to put on this act. She's just trying to force you to give in."Hearing that, Mom seemed to regain her footing. She let out a cold laugh."Briana, you've really become something, haven't you? Hiring people to pretend to be police officers just to trick me?"Sharon quickly chimed in."Mrs. Cole, Briana really went too far this time. If word gets out, imagine how bad this will look."She glanced at the two officers by the door and added, "Though I have to admit, they look pretty convincing. I wonder how much she paid them?"Mom's expression darkened even further.She looked the officers up and down, her tone turning icy."Where is Briana hiding now? Did she send you here to fool me? Do you even realize impersonating police officers is illegal?"The two officers exchanged a helpless look."Ma'am, we are real police officers. We are no

Ignoring the police tape completely, she ducked under it and finally saw the full extent of my condition.The dried blood beneath me had turned a dark red, soaking through the ground in large patches. My arms were covered in countless needle marks, bruised purple and blue.My face was pale, my body cold.There were no signs of life.Mom froze.She grabbed my arm, trying to pull me up from the ground."Briana, stop messing around. The police are already here, get up!"However, no matter how hard she pulled, my body only collapsed limply back down.Her voice grew sharper, taking on the tone she always used when giving orders."Briana, did you hear me? I told you to get up!"Someone behind her reached out to stop her."Ma'am, please calm down. The cause of death is still unknown, and we need to preserve the scene.""What do you mean, dead?"Mom whipped around, her eyes instantly reddening."She's my daughter! She's not dead! She's just throwing a tantrum at me!"She shook o

Three people stood up at the same time.The hospital room door swung open.Sharon was curled up on the bed, clutching the blanket all the way to her chin so only her eyes were visible. The moment she saw the two police officers and Mom walk in, she immediately grabbed her head and put on a pained expression."My head hurts so bad. I can't remember anything. All of you, get out!"Mom strode forward and yanked the blanket off her."How much blood did you take from Briana?"Sharon kept her eyes shut and shook her head wildly."I don't know anything. Stop asking me."One of the officers spoke up. "Ms. Jones, we need your cooperation for the investigation.""I can't remember anything! Stop forcing me! My head really hurts!"Sharon cut him off, her voice already cracking with tears.Dad slowly walked to the bedside. Then, under Sharon's stunned gaze, he picked up the flower vase from the nightstand and smashed it onto the floor.The vase shattered instantly, sharp porcelain shard

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the hospital room without looking back.Sharon froze for two seconds before suddenly rolling off the bed. Crying hysterically, she crawled after him across the floor."I was wrong! I really know I was wrong now! Please, please let me go!"She collapsed on the ground, sobbing so hard she could barely breathe.Meanwhile, Mom wandered out of the hospital in a daze, stumbling as if her soul had left her body. She did not even know how she made it back to the school.Then something seemed to snap inside her.Like a madwoman, she charged into the teaching building and slammed open the door to the broadcasting room.The two students on duty jumped in fright."Mrs. Cole? What's wrong?"She ignored them completely. After shoving them out, she locked the door behind her.Then she switched on the microphone.Her trembling voice echoed through every corner of the campus."Briana… It's Mom, I'm sorry."I should never have forced you to giv
