Three Lives, One Tragedy Chapter 8 Alice's Family
My father hunched into himself as he gazed at my photo.My mother was in tears, and she looked devastated. "Why, Alice? Haven't I treated you well? Your parents died early, and you came to me at three years old. I raised you ever since you were a child! Haven't I been good enough to you?" Her voice rose to a strange pitch, which made my ears ring.Alice smiled oddly and looked at my mother with pity. "You've always thought my parents died to save Vanessa. How foolish you are!""What do you mean?" My mother's face turned pale, and her hand trembled slightly.Alice laughed maniacally and said, "It was my parents who wanted to kill Vanessa so I could take her place as your daughter! They envied your lavish lifestyle and wanted me to be your only daughter! "However, I ran away that day because my mother scolded me when I wanted Vanessa's hair tie. They died because they went into the fire to find me!"Right then, a memory surged back to me.I remembered my uncle and aunt gripping

Alice was taken away, but she wouldn't receive the death penalty. However, my mother seemed to have gone mad as she went around hiring the best lawyers, determined to see Alice dead. Liam, too, was relentless as he worked tirelessly on the case to ensure her execution. Whenever I chanced upon him, he was a mess.It was terrifying.Finally, under their influence, Alice was sentenced to death.On the day of the execution, my mother wore her best outfit and bribed people to ensure she could watch it unfold. Thanks to her, I was dragged along to witness this bloody scene.My mother was grinning with joy. However, tears began to stream down her face as she laughed."Vanessa, my precious baby, I wronged you! It's all my fault!" As she cried, she laughed again. "Are you seeing this, Vanessa? I have avenged you! She is going to die!"Meanwhile, I felt a chilling emptiness in my soul.The moment Alice died, her spirit floated away from her body. When she noticed me, she fell silent for

Liam drank too much and started vomiting violently. He eventually slid off his chair and fell asleep on the floor. On the other hand, my mother was still mumbling to herself.My father stood in silence for a moment before walking into the kitchen. Soon, he returned and slowly approached my mother."Miranda," he said evenly. "The children are dead. Why don't we join them?"My mother was still in a daze and failed to understand what he meant."Look at Vanessa," my father continued, his tone filled with urgency and worry. "She suffered so much while alive. Now that she's dead, do you think the other ghosts will bully her?" As he spoke, he stabbed the knife into my mother. "We should hurry and go protect her!"My mother was startled by the pain assaulting her body and finally came to her senses. A sharp pain shot through her chest, causing her to fall to the ground in fear. She reached out and felt a warm, wet patch beneath her.As her eyes followed the trail, she saw Liam lying mo

I felt like I was about to die as my soul had already drifted from my body and floated over to my mother's side.Right now, she was sitting by Alice's hospital bed with a worried expression on her face. "You'll be alright, sweetheart. Don't worry about it."Alice's eyes were brimmed with tears as she asked, "Am I going to lose my legs? If that happens, I'll become a burden to you guys."When my husband heard her words, he immediately held her hands and said softly, "That's not going to happen, Alice. Look, Mom brought all the doctors here. You're going to be just fine."Alice nodded. Then, she hesitated for a moment before asking, "What about Vanessa? Is she okay?"In that split second, my heart was filled with hope.If my mother remembered me, perhaps there was still time to save my children!However, my hope shattered in the next second.When my mother heard Alice's words, anger filled her eyes. Her voice was as cold as ice as she said, "You are hurt because Vanessa insisted
Three Lives, One Tragedy Chapter 2 Wrongly Accused
I found it all ironic. After all, Alice's injuries were minor. Yet, my mother, who was a hospital director, and my husband, who was a chief physician, insisted she be hospitalized for a week. Meanwhile, my babies and I could only die."Mom, Vanessa didn't mean to drag me to the mall," Alice said as she lay on Liam's back. Her voice was filled with guilt as she said, "She probably just wanted to drink the chicken soup, so she brought me along to buy some. My injuries aren't that serious, so you and Liam should check on her." Then, she put on a forced smile.I couldn't help but laugh as I turned my attention to her. I couldn't believe she was still trying to make my mother turn against me when I was already dead.I knew that my mother had specifically prepared the chicken soup for her. Thus, I only asked if there was still any soup left. However, Alice began to tear up and said, "You can have it, Vanessa. Please don't be mad at Mom. I won't drink it."Just as I was confused by her wo

Liam gently placed Alice on the sofa once they returned home. Then, my mother quickly fumbled with the remote and turned on Alice's favorite drama. On the other hand, my father silently brought over a plate of fruit and set it beside her."Alice, why don't you watch some TV while I cook your favorite food?" said my mother, who rarely cooks. Then, she pulled out the tablet to look up for some cooking tutorials.All Alice needed to do was sit there and receive Liam's offerings while watching TV. She didn't have to do anything as she could effortlessly capture everyone's attention.I felt a wave of grief fill my heart as I watched the familiar, heartwarming scene before me.This was supposed to be my home, yet every inch of this place was filled with horrible memories.I remember when we first moved into this house. Back then, I was thrilled to finally have my own bedroom, even though it was only a third the size of Alice's. However, I was just happy not to sleep in the storage room
Three Lives, One Tragedy Chapter 4 A Call from the Hospital
After dinner, my mother returned to her bedroom, and I had no choice but to drift in behind her.She seemed anxious as she paced back and forth around the room."What's wrong?" my father asked softly as he came in.My mother simply furrowed her brow and said nothing.My father looked at her. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm going to the hospital. Vanessa hasn't been heard from for a week, and her due date is tomorrow."My mother snapped the second he made that suggestion. "No one is going anywhere! Seven days have passed, and she still hasn't apologized to Alice. How dare she act so arrogant?"My father cowered and mumbled, "She did have a car accident. Plus, she's pregnant."My mother swept her skincare products off the table and barked. "Alice didn't suffer anything serious when she was the driver. Vanessa wasn't even the one driving, so what could have happened to her? I bet she is still holding grudges against Alice!" As my mother spoke, she seemed to grow con
Three Lives, One Tragedy Chapter 5 She Must Be Lying
After my mother heard the nurse's words, I watched as she was bewildered for a moment. Then, she frowned and thought for a second before saying coldly, "That's impossible. Alice was in the same car with her, and she was still the driver. Alice's already been discharged, so how could she be dead? This must be her newest scheme. "She's grown more vicious over the years, even being able to curse her own children. This is just unbelievable." She unconsciously kicked a piece of broken glass on the floor. "All she knows is to fight for attention. Now, even you guys are in this too."On the other end, the nurse sighed and said, "Dr. Miranda, why would I lie to you? Ms. Tyson's body is still in the morgue. I'm calling to ask if you'd like to bring her home for burial. If you don't believe me, come and see it for yourself."My mother grew anxious upon hearing her words. "How dare she still try to fool me? I bet you are helping her, too, huh? Just you wait. I'll fire you tomorrow!" With that
