A Gentle Trap Ch 5
  1. 5

When we opened the door, Dad was feeding 

Annabelle

His back was to us, he thought it was the 

doctor

Doc, can they have fruit now?” 

Mom and I didn’t say anything, we just 

watched him

Annabelle saw us first, mouth full, trying to 

speak

What’s wrong?” 

Dad turned around and dropped the cup on 

Annabelle

Ow! That hurts!” 

I smiled

Warm water on burns? Of course it hurts

Dad stared at us

You’re alive?” 

Mom said, Should we be dead?” 

NoDad finally recovered, trying to look 

happy

I was just worried. I didn’t see you in the fire

I thought… 

It’s good you’re okay.” 

To get revenge, I pretended to cry

Dad, I was so scared.” 

The mistress was crying, but Dad had to 

comfort us

I smiled

A mistress is a mistress, she always comes 

last

Mom started crying again, so I had to get her 

out of there

I stayed at the hospital to take care of Dad

く 

I made sure to show the burns on the other 

two girls I was not burned at all

Soon, Cindy’s eyes started to get mean

Lily, how did you not get hurt?” 

Dad seemed to finally be able to say what he 

was thinking

When you called, did I tell you to get 

Annabelle

Did you even go?” 

Seeing their hateful stares, the memories 

came back

Last time, I was in the hospital with no one to 

care for me, and they blamed me

く 

The junk in the hallway wasn’t ours, but the 

reporters acted like they wanted to shove 

their cameras in my face

Every question was a stab

Ms. Smith, do you regret this?” 

Because of the junk, four homes burned

your mother died, how do you feel?” 

I hated it

I hated that I couldn’t take them down with 

me

Dad yelled

Answer me!” 

He hopped toward me and tried to push me

but I dodged him

Did you not go because you were scared

Are you happy now that they look like this

I’m a firefighter, I’ve saved so many people

how did I end up with such a heartless 

daughter

You’re just like your mother!” 

I couldn’t help but laugh. Do you wish Mom 

and I were dead?” 

He raised his hand, but the door opened

Mom walked in with his firehouse buddies
