She was the only person who was crying
because they cared about me.
When Mom and Dad saw how upset Sarah was,
they looked just as sad.
They didn’t feel guilty for what they did to me,
they were sad because Sarah was sad.
I gave them a cold stare.
Besides Sarah, there was no place in their hearts for me.
Even when they brought me home and acted all sweet, it was all because Sarah liked me, it was
a show they were putting on to create that family bond.
I had finally seen my parents for what they
really were.
I didn’t need their apology.

I didn’t need their apology.
Mom and Dad tried to explain themselves, but
Sarah was too angry to listen.
She slammed the door as she stormed out.
She went to the morgue.
She cried over my cold body.
“Nora, your sister is back.”
“Nora, open your eyes and look at me…‘
“I brought you your favorite candy…”
Looking at my autopsy report, she couldn’t stop crying.
Malnutrition, early stage stomach cancer, and
internal injuries… the words cut deep.

She had passed out three times in thirty
minutes.

“It’s my fault, I’m so sorry…”
“”
The police chief watched Sarah with sadness, sighing, “May she rest in peace.”
“The dead are gone forever.”
“Now the most important thing is to catch the
killer, bring them to justice, and get justice for Nora!”
Sarah nodded.
Yes. Catch the person who killed me.
Get me justice.
Maybe then she could make up for what she did
to me.

The police quickly tracked down the suspect.
He was a former patient of Dad’s.
947
His daughter had died during a surgery, and he
blamed everything on Dad.
He had had conflicts with the hospital before,
but security had thrown him out.
He still wanted revenge, and he waited for the
opportunity to hurt my dad.
And he saw me alone, looking for food in the
garbage. That’s when he kidnapped me.
