All Chapters of Goodbye, Mom: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Dad begged me. "This is all the money we have. Take it. Please save your mom's life. I don't want anything else. After she's out of the hospital, our house will be yours. We'll leave this place. We won't cause you any more trouble. Please, save her! She's your mother!"I swatted his cards away and replied coldly, "Sorry, but this is a hospital. We have rules here. I can't operate on family. Don't waste my time."The argument had drawn a crowd of onlookers.Ethan's chest was shaking with anger as he slapped me hard across the face."Rosie Mitchell! All that education, and for what? The person lying there is your mother! If you don't help her, she'll die! Do you understand that?"Dad's eyes grew dull with disappointment. He pointed at my nose and angrily yelled, "You're our only daughter! We worked ourselves to the bone to send you to school. We're not asking you to support us in our old age. But now, you can't even fulfill the responsibility of saving a life?"When you were young,

The crowd was so dense that I couldn't go through at all. After five hours of surgery, I was so weak I could barely stand.After a long standoff, a nurse rushed over and dragged me away, pulling me out of the hellish scene.I was brought to the hospital director's office.Dad and Ethan were already there. Their faces were etched with exhaustion and despair.The director, Hayden Moore, threw his phone before me, sighing heavily. "Take a look at what you've done."I glanced at the screen. My name was all over the trending list."What an ungrateful daughter! She's a doctor but heartlessly abandons her mom's life.""Does this heartless doctor even deserve to save lives?"When I clicked on the comments, they were full of scathing remarks."Rosie Mitchell is my college classmate. Her mom once took a two-day train ride just to bring her some local specialties! Who would have thought that she'd turn out like this? No matter how good her studies are, she's just a morally corrupt beast!

The uproar from the crowd grew louder and louder.Hayden's hesitant expression gradually turned firm.Just then, Ethan took out the divorce papers he had prepared earlier and threw them in my face."Sign it! I don't have a wife like you! Your actions today make you unworthy of the Blackwood family! From now on, you and I have nothing to do with each other! Your parents treated me like their own son while they were alive. I'll handle their funerals. You don't need to worry about it!"Looking at his furious face, I couldn't help but sneer."You really have a lot of family, do you? After your own parents passed away, I didn't see you buying flowers for their graves. I handled their funerals all by myself, but now you're suddenly so active when it's my parents."Tell me. Do you think the hospital mixed us up back then? Maybe you're my parents' biological son."The words I spoke made a flicker of panic flash across Ethan's eyes.The crowd didn't notice the change in his expression.

The moment I said that the entire room of officers erupted in anger."You think this is a joke? Aren't we already investigating your parents' deaths? Ms. Mitchell, have you ever had a history of mental illness? Someone, contact the psychiatric hospital. She needs an evaluation first thing tomorrow."Their reactions made it clear that they thought that I had lost my mind.I chuckled. "I'm not joking. I'm talking about my biological parents. Not the two who died today."The room fell silent at my words.After a long pause, the lead officer, Derrick Horne's face turned serious. He picked up his pen again."You're saying that the two who died at the hospital weren't your biological parents? Then where are your real parents?"I shook my head. "I don't know. From what I was told, they should be buried somewhere near the village.""Told by whom? And when?" Derrick asked."Sorry, I can't tell you that yet. You'll need to find out where my parents are buried first and what caused their
