Chapter 1

"Oh, a child's fever isn't much to be worried about! Just wrap her with a bunch of blankets and force her to sweat out the chill!"Mindy clutched three thick comforters, piling them over Amy's tiny body one after another. As she mumbled under her breath, she made sure to tuck every single corner tightly right up to Amy's neck.I burst out in cold sweat, my heart pounding wildly.I'd just been reborn, back to the night before Amy's high fever-triggered convulsions.In my previous life, I'd desperately argued with Mindy and tried to pull the blankets off, only to be stopped by Sam, who had rushed in after hearing the commotion.Because of that moment's delay, Amy's fever spiraled into convulsions.Later on, at the hospital, Mindy forcefully fed Amy a bottle of cloudy, pungent holy water, causing my poor daughter to go into shock and die of asphyxiation in my arms.I would never be able to forget how Amy's small hands clawed desperately for breath as she turned purple.Nor would I

Because I had administered medicine and secretly wiped Amy down with warm water, her fever finally broke in the second half of the night.By the next morning, Amy had already recovered enough to be able to sit up in bed, eating oatmeal.Mindy looked at her energetic granddaughter with great pride and loudly boasted in the living room, "See? I told you my methods work!"When a child has a fever, you have to make them sweat it out. If it weren't for me wrapping her up in blankets yesterday, would she have recovered so quickly today?"Young people these days are just too delicate, always rushing to the hospital for medicine. Too much of it and the kid's brain will turn to mush!"Sam scrolled on his phone from his seat on the sofa, nodding in acknowledgment. "Yes, you know best, Mom."The wisdom of the older generation is definitely better than that of those exploitative hospitals!"In the kitchen, I was steaming an egg pudding for Amy. Listening to the nauseating conversation outsi

Thinking that her methods had worked on Amy once more, Mindy became even more assured and emboldened in her ways.Lately, Sam's company had begun interviewing candidates for an internal promotion to department manager.Determined to win the position, he'd been working overtime every day for the past two weeks.The relentless workload and lack of sleep finally caught up with him. Three days before his final interview, he came down with a severe case of the flu.Burning with fever, he lay in bed, too weak to even turn over."Cough… Delia, get the fever medicine and antibiotics from the drawer for me. My head feels like it's about to split open…" Sam clutched his head, pleading with a hoarse voice.I chuckled inwardly, but outwardly, I acted like I was the most worried wife in the world, rushing outside to get the medicine box.The moment I opened the medicine box, Mindy rushed over like a gust of wind and snatched the medicine from my hands, glaring at me fiercely."How could you

"Exorcising evil is our sacred duty, ma'am."Lucas, the mole-faced man, put on a profound, mysterious expression. From the cloth bag at his side, he took out an iron basin, poured in half a basin of what seemed to be ash, before lighting up a talisman and throwing it into the basin.Immediately, the ash ignited, sending up thick, acrid smoke as the iron basin rapidly grew scorching hot."With the flames derived from the very sun, we shall purge this evil spirit! Ma'am, take off your son's shirt. I will apply these sacred ashes onto his navel and exterminate the evil spirit through fire!"Although Sam was delirious with fever, he heard every word.His eyes locked onto the smoking basin of blazing-hot ash, and all the color drained from his face."No… Please, no! Mom, I'm going to get burned to death! Delia, help me!" Sam screeched and struggled, wrapping himself protectively with his blankets.Mindy panicked and lunged forward, pinning down his legs. "Don't move, Sam! They're try

The instant I finished speaking, the leading exorcist lifted the basin of blazing-hot ash high, before dumping it all on Sam's navel without any hesitation.The sickening sizzle of flesh burning echoed through the room, followed by Sam's bloodcurdling scream.The pungent stench of scorched skin instantly filled the bedroom, mingling with the sour odor of the moldy herbal medicine from earlier until the air itself became nauseating."Gaah! Get it off me! Get it off me now!"Sam's wails were loud enough to pierce our eardrums, and he thrashed across the bed like a fish flopping on dry land, his eyes rolling back as thick veins bulged across his forehead.The burning ash that had already burned into his flesh, however, clung to the skin around his navel stubbornly, angry-red blisters erupting all over his abdomen.Some of those blisters even burst on the spot, oozing yellow fluid in a truly horrifying sight."Hold him down and don't let go! The evil spirit is struggling!" The exorc

Mindy nodded along, her eyes filled with fanatical conviction."However…" Lucas said, glancing at Sam's occasionally convulsing body. "When the evil spirit is being purged, the human will suffer tremendously as well. If he breaks free, the evil spirit will escape too! We have to keep him tied up.""Tie him up right now!" Mindy turned to look at me. "What are you standing around for? We've got that thick hemp rope in the attic, remember? Go and get it!""Alright, I'll go get it!"I turned around, a bloodthirsty smile curling silently at the corner of my lips.I didn't just bring the thickest rope I could find, I even grabbed a few towels.Walking to the bedside, I wrapped the coarse hemp rope around Sam's wrists and ankles again and again before securing him tightly to each of the four bedposts.The rough rope bit into his skin, and the stinging pain forced his eyes to open slightly. He looked at me weakly. "What… are you doing…?"I gently placed folded towels beneath the ropes

Chapter 7

Sam desperately tried to shake his head, and he tried to speak, but I clamped his mouth tightly shut, not allowing him even the slightest chance of making a sound."Mhh… mmph…!" Sam could do nothing but let out groans of despair.With a sickening snap that echoed through the room, Lucas swung his club hard into the left side of Sam's ribcage.Sam's eyes flew wide open, his body arching violently before crashing back onto the bed.A mouthful of blood, mixed with unknown fragments of flesh, burst from between his lips, splattering across my hand.Clearly, the attack had some sort of internal damage."Oh, look, he's coughing up blood! Does that mean that we've beaten the evil spirit out of him?"Lucas paled the moment he saw Sam barely breathing.They had come to scam money, not to kill someone."Ahem… that would be correct. That blood's coming straight from the evil spirit." The exorcist acted calm, putting aside the scepter. "However, this evil spirit is far too stubborn. Even

"Ma'am, your prayers have been heard, and the evil spirit has now been purged. We have to return and report this to our monastery. All your son needs to do is rest, and he'll be able to walk by tomorrow."As he spoke, Lucas briskly packed up his tools, clearly preparing to flee.I stood silently in the shadows at the bedroom doorway, watching this absurd and bloody farce reach its end.It was almost time.I quietly slipped back into the living room and took out the phone I had prepared in advance. The moment the exorcists swiped that card, I'd already had the number prepared on my phone."Hello, is this the police? Please help! Some charlatans broke into my home and beat my husband until he coughed up blood and passed out, and now they have even stolen our money!"Quick, we're at 402 Dursley Avenue! If you're late, my husband will die!"I hung up and immediately walked to the entrance, locked the security door from the inside, and slipped the key into my pocket.Then I opened m

Chapter 9

After a night of emergency treatment, Sam finally pulled through in the ICU.However, the repeated strikes from the con artists had ruptured his spleen completely, forcing the doctors to remove it. The severe burns from the hot incense ash became badly infected, triggering acute kidney failure. For the rest of his life, he would depend on dialysis to survive.His left leg, which had been broken and left untreated for too long, suffered irreversible nerve damage, leaving him permanently disabled.His life was completely ruined.Meanwhile, Mindy was convicted of cooperating with fraud and intentionally inflicting grievous bodily harm, and because the crime was especially egregious, she was sentenced to ten years in prison.Half a month later, Sam was transferred from the ICU to a regular ward.Holding Amy's hand, I walked into the antiseptic-scented room for the very last time.Sam had become completely skin and bones, and he was stuck full of tubes all over his body.When he saw
