Reborn After Mom's Thoughts Spelled My Doom
In my previous life, everyone in my family could hear my mother's inner thoughts.
I managed to land a new job. The pay was high, and the benefits were great. Instead of being happy for me, she was deeply anxious.
She thought, "With her education and her abilities, how could she possibly get a job like that? She must've slept her way to it."
After my father heard that, he refused to let me go to work. He stormed into my workplace, made a huge scene, and got me fired.
I was furious and decided to move out for a while and stay at my boyfriend's place. On the surface, my mother supported my decision. Deep down, however, she was desperately trying to stop me.
She thought, "What should I do? That boyfriend of hers has been married for years. He even has a child. She's someone's mistress.
"If she really moves in, that man's wife will surely have a go at her. She'll embarrass the rest of us!"
To keep me from leaving, my younger brother broke both my legs with a stick. Then, they locked me inside the house and leave me to suffer on my own.
My wounds festered and became infected.
I begged them to take me to the hospital, but my mother sighed inwardly, thinking, "She's so rebellious. No matter what anyone says, she insists on leaving this family.
"In truth, there's nothing wrong with her legs at all. Once she gets to the hospital, she'll definitely escape."
After that, everyone ignored my pleas and left me to die in agony. Even at the very end, I never knew who was to blame for my death.
When I open my eyes again now, I realize that I, too, can hear my mother's inner thoughts.
