When they left, Mom and I walked them to the 

hospital entrance

On the way back, I talked to Mom for a while

where no one could hear

After getting her support, I went back to the 

room and started apologizing

Dad, Annabelle, I’m sorry

Mom told me I was wrong. In a lifeordeath 

situation, I shouldn’t have been selfish

As a firefighter’s family, we should be 

generous.” 

Dad stared, then smiled

Annabelle said nothing, but her daughter got 

bold, throwing something at me

It’s all your fault. If you’d gotten us, Mom 

and I wouldn’t be hurt

Can you live with yourself? I’m 19, my life was 

just starting, but I almost lost my face!” 

I hid my anger and stood up, quickly walking 

to Cindy

She flinched. What do you want?” 

Lreached for her she dedged hitting ber 

I reached for her, she dodged, hitting her 

wound, and cried

Lily! What are you doing?” 

I grabbed the water pitcher

Then, I innocently looked at Dad. I’m going to 

take care of you, to make up for it

Cindy, why are you so nervous? I just wanted 

the pitcher.” 

Leaving the room, I smiled

I was going to torture them for a while

I dutifully cared for them, but things often 

went wrong

く 

I poured hot water on Annabelle’s burn, and 

scratched Cindy’s wounds

I tripped, kicking Dad’s bad leg

In three days, all three of them were howling 

in pain

Hey, Annabelle, what’s wrong? You look 

pale.” 

I didn’t see anything. A few minutes later,

gasped

Oh no, Annabelle, don’t move! You pulled out 

your oxygen tube!” 

After I put it back on, Annabelle turned red

She took a deep breath and looked at Dad

く 

Lily should go home… 

She’s too young, she doesn’t know how to 

take care of people.” 

I laughed and started to cry

Annabelle, are you blaming me

I’m helping you because of me.” 

Dad exploded. I told you, be generous

Why are you so selfish?” 

I ignored him and took Annabelle’s hand

Annabelle, Dad broke his leg saving you. He 

might not recover

Can you give him an award? And do a TV 

interview?” 

Dad was quiet

Please, I just want him to get promoted

Otherwise, I don’t know what to do.” 

Annabelle and Dad looked at each other, then 

nodded

I smiled

The deadbeat wanted to be famous
