After Five Years, She Still Wants My Corneas Chapter 6 The Evidence
Those villagers wanted to take Jeremy, too, but he had a way out. He told them that he had set an automatic alarm. If he didn't cancel it within half an hour, the police would come.Although these people were thugs, they were still afraid of the police. Thus, they ignored Jeremy and dragged me away like a rag doll.They felt that no one would arrest them as long as they denied it. Besides, they had plenty of people who were in the same situation as me, yet nothing happened to them for all these years. Thus, they took me back without hesitation.That attempt to escape cost me dearly. They broke my knees and nailed my hands to the wall.As the village chief hammered the nails into my hands, he grinned and said, "This will make you behave. If you try to run again, I'll kill you. Since we're in the mountains, we can just dig a hole and bury you in it. Or we can feed you to the wolves! There would be nothing left of you then!"I glared at him as I imagined myself killing him in countle

"I was just out buying something when they spotted me. I tried to shake them off, but they were armed. I was terrified back then, Mom. Please don't let the police take me, okay? I'm still young. I still have a bright future ahead." Jeremy stammered as he was in a panic."I can't be taken away. I've already passed the exams to become a teacher. If I get arrested, what about those students?"My mother gripped his arm tightly, her fingernails digging into his flesh. "Your sister died because of you. The police won't let you go."Jeremy fell to his knees and begged, "She's already gone, Mom. If I'm sent to prison, who will take care of you?"He had hit her weak spot, which was her deep-seated belief that a son would provide for her when she became old.My mother began to waver. "Jeremy, go and turn yourself in. As long as you do that, the police won't punish you too harshly."When Jeremy heard her words, he froze. Then, he let go of her and said, "If I turn myself in, my life will be
After Five Years, She Still Wants My Corneas Chapter 8 The Diary
While waiting for Jeremy to return, my mother went into the small, windowless room I had once lived in.I watched as she pushed open the door and entered the dusty and cluttered space. In that split second, I felt like crying, but ghosts couldn't cry.It had been many years since she last entered this room. As my mother looked around, memories seemed to flood back into her mind. When she sat at the bedside, her hand brushed against something.It was my diary.'Grandma told me that I would be dead by now if Mom hadn't taken me in, so I must respect her and never make her angry."'I turned five today, and Mom gave birth to a baby brother. He's so cute and soft. I promise I'll treat him well."'Jeremy started school, but he always hangs out with the bad kids and gets bullied. I have to protect him.''Jeremy doesn't seem to like me. He always tells lies and accuses me of things I didn't do. However, I won't be mad at him since he is my brother."Reading through the diary, my mother
After Five Years, She Still Wants My Corneas Chapter 9 The Late Truth
"That bitch! How dare she hit me when I touched her? She's just a toy you gave me. What right does she have to refuse?"Hearing him say that brought me back to that dark summer.That day, as I stepped out of the bathroom in my pajamas, I found Jeremy in my room. When he saw me, he seemed to have become a completely different person. He pushed me onto the bed and started tearing off my clothes. I grabbed the bedside lamp and smashed it over his head.Just then, my father appeared. However, instead of punishing Jeremy, he slapped me across the face and said, "You're just a plaything for Jeremy. It's your honor that he wants to touch you."I stayed silent.A month later, Jeremy went on his graduation trip, and I was forced to accompany him. That was when my dark days began.Just like that, the ruthless truth was laid bare before my mother. She was so shocked that she collapsed to the floor and looked at Jeremy with disbelief. "How could you two do such monstrous things?"In just on

My mother was standing in the doorway, resplendently dressed like always. She cursed, "Where is she? She needs to sign these papers, pronto. It's just one cornea. Not like I need both of them. How petty can that girl be?"My grandmother looked at her daughter expressionlessly. "Charlie died five years ago."My mother snickered. "You're my mother. You're supposed to help my son, not some lowly outsider. Jeremy would never have gone blind if not for that girl. She should be grateful I'm not getting both of her eyes!"My grandmother slapped her daughter as hard as she could. "You're no mother of Charlie's." Her daughter tumbled to the ground.'Grandma…' I cried, but none could see it.My grandmother's hand was trembling. I tried to hug her, but my hand passed through her like she was air. My mother was diagnosed with adenomyosis in her younger days. The doctor said she would never have children of her own.The news hit my mother like a truck, and she lost her spirit since then. My g
After Five Years, She Still Wants My Corneas Chapter 2 A Failed Promise
My grandmother sat quietly, waiting for my mother to finish searching every corner before saying, "She's truly gone. Her body has already been donated. She said she wanted to make sure that you would never see her again in this life, whether alive or dead." My mother's face twisted with rage as she glared at my grandmother. "Mom, you're my mother. Do you even remember how Dad died? If it weren't for that wretched girl, Dad would still be fine. And Jeremy's eyes would still be perfect! I only want that murderer's cornea now! I'm not asking for her life! I truly regret adopting her!" My grandmother looked at her with disappointment written all over her face. "And she regrets being adopted by you." My mother kicked over a nearby chair. "If she doesn't show up, you'll be out on the street! The deed to this house is in my name. If I don't let you stay, you have no right to live here." She slammed the door on her way out. My grandmother collapsed onto the ground, her trembling hands
After Five Years, She Still Wants My Corneas Chapter 3 A Death Certificate
Half a month later, my mother showed up again along with Jeremy.She had truly lost all sense of decency and driven my grandmother out."Don't blame me. Isn't she the one who's always been the most filial to you? If something happens to you, she's bound to show up."Jeremy clung to my mother's arm, feigning concern. "Mom, Grandma is getting old. Stop putting her through this. Charlie must still be upset that I stole your love. That's why she's deliberately staying away."He covered one of his eyes dramatically. "My other eye still works. I'm fine." My mother immediately pulled him into her arms. "Jeremy, don't worry. I'll find that little wretch."Her voice was sharp with anger. "She made you suffer like this. She won't get away with it."Her gaze turned icy as she fixed it on my grandmother. "If you don't want to starve out there, you'd better find her. I've already contacted the hospital. As soon as she shows up, we'll proceed with the surgery."My grandmother was a woman wh

My mother didn't believe it, of course. The moment she saw the death certificate, her first reaction was to tear it up. "Wow, Mom, you're really something. You'd even go so far as to fake a death certificate? Aren't you afraid the police will come after you?"Was it that ungrateful wretch who told you to do this? I knew it was a mistake to take her in all those years ago. If there was nothing wrong with her, why would someone abandon her on the side of the road?"Some fortune teller must have predicted she was bad luck, so her family tossed her out…" She kept ranting, her insults flying without pause. It got to the point where my grandmother couldn't take it anymore. Since I was little, only my grandparents had ever truly treated me with kindness. They didn't play favorites between boys and girls and treated me and Jeremy equally. As for my mother, she firmly believed only sons were worth raising because they could take care of her in her old age. To her, raising a daughter

My grandmother suddenly couldn't hold it together anymore. Years of resilience shattered completely because of my mother's words. She clenched her fists tightly, the veins on the back of her hands popping."She said she escaped from the mountains. It took her two years to get out." My grandmother's teeth were clenched so hard that her words came out muffled."They kept her locked in a tiny shack. Every day, different men violated her. It didn't matter if she was eating or sleeping, they'd drag her away and throw her on the ground."When the filthy, muddy water caused infections, they'd rinse her off with freezing water and throw her back inside."Several times, my grandmother's voice caught in her throat, choking on the words she couldn't finish.As my grandmother spoke, my mother's eyes gradually clouded over. Then, tears started falling uncontrollably. "Mom, you're lying to me, aren't you?" She clung desperately to the last thread of hope, convincing herself that this was all
