Chapter 7%
The fortune teller had said that if both twins were girls, one of them would be cursed–a jinx who would bring death to her parents.
So, when we were born, my parents believed the firstborn–me–was the cursed one.
At first, they didn’t plan to abandon me.”
But when I was five, my mother developed kidney stones and blamed all her suffering on me.
Terrified that more misfortune would follow, she and my father decided to get rid of me–leave me to fend for myself.%
But fate had other plans.
By mistake, they abandoned my sister instead.
By the time the ambulance arrived, my mother had stopped breathing.”
My sister’s face revealed a twisted, satisfied smile.
On the other hand, my father–the last remaining culprit–was handcuffed on the spot.
As the police led him away, he leaned close to my sister’s ear and whispered, “As long as you don’t confess, they can’t do anything. You share the same DNA, after all.”
My sister looked at him with pure disgust, not saying a word.
She hated our parents–especially our father. After all, it was he who tied that red string around her wrist that day.
She turned to me and sneered, “Your perfect little life was nothing but a dream. Now it’s your turn to live in hell–just like I did. Hahahaha!“%
As she laughed, tears streamed down her cheeks.
“Wait–what’s going on now? Which one of you is actually my wife?” one of the men demanded.
“That old woman’s dead. She brought us here to collect her daughter, and now there’s two of them!“%
“Who cares?” another scoffed. “They look exactly the same. Just take them both back to the village!”
The six men reached out with their filthy hands, ready to seize us.
Fortunately, the police were still present.
A single sharp glance from an officer froze them in place.
“What do you think you’re doing?”
“Regardless of who the mother is, your actions are illegal!“}
“But we paid the bride price! She ran off–what are we supposed to do?”
Just then, someone called out, “The forensic doctor is here.”
The crowd parted, and a female forensic specialist in a white lab coat walked in.”
“Examine both of them. We need to know who has given birth, the officer instructed.
My sister was visibly unwilling, so I stepped forward to go first.”
The forensic doctor was gentle.}
After a quick examination, she looked up with a clear conclusion.
“She has not given birth.”
Gasps filled the room.
After a day of accusations and drama, the truth was more unexpected than anyone had imagined.”
The officer turned to my sister. “Your turn. Will you cooperate?“}
“No! What’s there to examine? There’s no need!“}}
She shook her head violently, clearly unraveling.
Years of torment had taken a toll on her sanity.”
For a moment, my heart ached for her.
I took a small step forward, wanting to embrace her.”
But Thalia held me back. “Don’t forget–she tried to ruin you.”}
Her words jolted my memory–of what happened in my past life, after Ldied.
My parents had moved with my sister.”
They gave her a new identity and started over as a happy little family, while I became a forgotten name.
I suddenly saw it all clearly.
I withdrew my sympathy.”
“Mama…”
“Mommy…”
“You’re our real mommy…”
The six children stumbled forward, clinging to my sister.
Her mind snapped.
