Todos los capítulos de Mom's Love Was Gone with Him: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 10

One day, when my brother, Cameron Joyner, and I went out to play, I fainted when I accidentally slipped and fell on the staircase. He was gone by the time I groggily regained consciousness.My heart immediately began to race. I yelled his name at the top of my lungs. "Cam! Where are you, Cam? Don't scare me!"My surroundings were pitch-black, and a blood-red moon hung in the sky. It was completely silent.Fear gripped my heart. Cameron was only four. I couldn't help but wonder if a human trafficker abducted him when I was unconscious.I became more and more panicked. Pressing one hand to my dizzy head, I hastily ran back home. The door was tightly locked. I had lost my key, so I had no choice but to hammer my fists on the door."Who is it?" Mom asked from beyond the door."It's me, Mom. It's Cassie," I replied loudly.However, Mom only opened the peephole. She peered at me with bloodshot eyes before she asked, "Is it really you, Cassie?""It's me, Mom," I said.Mom immediately

Dawn was going to break on the horizon soon.Worried that Mom would discover I had snuck out of the apartment, I had no choice but to return home. I had just sunk to my knees when Mom woke up, her complexion sallow. She approached me and stared unblinkingly at me.I didn't dare move a muscle. A minute passed before she slowly said, "You really deserved to die."My heart twisted as a wave of regret churned in my heart."Mom…"Mom shrieked and began raining blows down on my head. Every word that she screamed was dripping with despair."Don't call me that! I'm not your mother! You're a jinx! Cam wouldn't have gotten into trouble if it weren't for you! Grovel for his forgiveness right now! I want you to show him how remorseful you are every second and minute of the day!"Cameron's disappearance had deeply upset her. I could even see new white hairs growing on her head. To comfort her, I began knocking my forehead against the floor with all my might."I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, Cam.

My first reaction was to feel happy. Perhaps Mom would stop blaming me once she found out that I was dead. Ignoring my current state, I rushed out of the room and shouted, "Mom, look! I'm already dead too. My corpse is under the bed."Mom was carrying Cameron's corpse back to his room at that moment. She scoffed when she heard my words. She tucked the blankets securely around his corpse before slowly turning to look at me, saying, "I know. I was the one who put you under the bed."My smile stiffened. I didn't understand her words. I repeated myself, saying, "I'm dead too, Mom—""I know!" Mom snapped as she leaped to her feet and shot a vicious glare at me. "I was the one who personally retrieved your corpse from Unit 301. I was the one who intentionally stuffed it under the bed!"My eyes widened as my thoughts turned into a chaotic mess.Mom rushed to my room and dragged my corpse out from under the bed. She pointed at my deformed face and said, "I left you and Cam at home whe

The room fell silent the moment the words left Mr. Wellstone's lips.In the next second, Mom suddenly sank to her knees and began groveling at my feet. "I'm begging you, Cassandra. You're already dead, so please give your blessings to Cam. He wouldn't have died if not for you."You only need to be fried in oil for seven hours. Think about how much pain Cam must have been in when he was dying. He didn't have his medication, and you weren't by his side. He must have been drowning in despair."Mom began to cry and pray as if she had lost her mind.Meanwhile, I felt as if she had thrown my heart into the pan of oil to be repeatedly fried. "Do you still love me, Mom?" I asked.She didn't hesitate for even a second before she answered, "I love you. I love you so much. But…"She suddenly changed her tone before continuing, "How am I going to live without you or Cam? At least one of you has to stay with me. "You can't be so selfish, Cassandra. Don't blame me for not wanting to bring yo

When Mom refused to believe him, Mr. Wellstone sighed and pointed at my corpse, saying, "Logically speaking, your daughter's corpse should have vanished when her soul scattered. Look at it. It's still here. On top of that, the livor mortis stopped spreading. That's because she became a vengeful spirit."He asked Mom to bring him a pail of water when she still didn't believe him. "You'll understand what I'm talking about after you watch this."Mr. Wellstone dropped a burning talisman into the water. A scene slowly appeared in the water after the talisman burned to ashes.In the scene, Mom was reminding me to take good care of Cameron.Mom stared unblinkingly at the water as she stood to the side. She watched as I played with Cameron after she left and saw how he had a sudden asthma attack. To grab the bottle of medicine, I accidentally toppled off the balcony and fell to my death. Meanwhile, Cameron crawled toward the bedroom to grab his phone.Mr. Wellstone sighed as he smoothed
