Dad had a broken leg and a burn on his leg.
Annabelle and Cindy, who were fine last time,
were now burned badly.
After surgery, they were sent to the ICU for a
few days.
When they moved to a regular room, they
were put in the same one.
Mom and I could hear Annabelle and Cindy
crying.
“Chief, what are we going to do? We’re
ruined. What are we going to do now?
I don’t know why the fire started. When we
opened the door, it was too late.”
The strict man was now whispering to
Annabelle.
When she couldn’t accept it, Dad started to
blame Mom and me.
“What matters is you’re alive.
Think about Lily and her mom, they didn’t
even escape the fire!
It’ll get better. The three of us can be
together soon. Don’t cry, don’t cry.”
Mom started crying.
I pulled her away.
She crouched down, shaking.
L
“He wanted us to die! He wants to live with
her! After all these years, he’s been lying to
me!”
I sighed.
She had bad luck.
But I was going to make them pay!
After comforting Mom, I led her back to the
room.
“What are you doing?”
Thinking about the looks on their faces when
they saw us, I smiled.
“Let’s give them a surprise.”
