Love by Lottery
The lottery box had been knocked over and had fallen to the ground.
Inside, there were no long sticks at all. So it turned out that Mom and Dad never loved me.
Just like Grandma had said, they only used the lottery as a shield, putting on a show of fairness while secretly doting on Asher.
I started to feel cold even though I had already become a ghost.
Because they thought I was sulking in my room, after Mom and Dad came back from the hospital, they began treating me like I was invisible. They no longer set out a bowl for me at mealtimes or called me to draw lots.
