The girl hem.

to me in a panic, not caring that my
blood was
staining her pure

“JoJo, is that you, JoJo?“||
“Mom, Dad, why are you hurting JoJo?”
Seeing my
sister appear
in front of me wearing the exact same outfit as
the day
she died,
I
felt like I was dreaming.
I stared at
her
in a daze,
like I couldn’t even
feel the pain in my
body anymore.
My
sister looked confused too.
She didn’t understand how just going to buy ice cream could have led to this.
Seeing
me covered
in wounds, she
didn’t know what had happened, but she immediately came over to check on
- me.
“Ambulance! Call
an ambulance! Somebody help my little sister!”
around frantically for a phone to call 911, while trying to comfort me at the same time.
My sister looked
Tears streamed down her beautiful face:
“Jojo, don’t be scared. I’m here, I won’t let anything happen to
you.”
Mom and Dad snapped out of their shock and reached out to make sure their precious daughter had really come back.
But my
sister swatted their hands away.
“Get JoJo to the hospital NOW!“]
Mom and Dad didn’t mind their beloved daughter’s attitude toward them at all–they
were just so happy to have her back.
Acting
like they’d just noticed I was hurt: “Oh,
oh yes,
we’ll get the
car right now, Maya honey, don’t worry.”
When we got
to the hospital and I was wheeled into surgery, my sister’s full attention was on me.
She paced anxiously outside the operating room–if she could have, she
would have taken my place.
But she
didn’t notice Mom and Dad staring at her with pure joy at having her
back, all
the time.
When I came out of surgery, I was knocked out from the anesthesia.[]
The doctor frowned as he looked at the three people outside:
“Who here is Jordan Thorne’s family?“[]
My sister
rushed to the front without hesitation:

“Me! I’m her sister!“]]
Mom and Dad followed behind her, but their steps betrayed their guilt.
The doctor studied the three of them carefully, his gaze moving from one to the next. After a long moment, he finally spoke.
“Jordan Thorne has multiple fractures, all caused by external trauma. Based on the wounds, they appear to be from deliberate blunt force.”
“Moreover, there are numerous old injuries on her body. It looks like she’s been abused for quite some time.”
My sister stared at the doctor in disbelief, her eyes filling with tears.
How could this happen? She’d only gone to buy ice cream.
Something suddenly occurred to my sister. She whipped around to look at Mom and Dad, who hadn’t said a word since arriving at the hospital.
“Mom, Dad, what happened to JoJo? How did she get hurt this badly?“]
When Mom and Dad heard the doctor’s words, they’d already hung their heads in shame.[]
Now hearing their daughter’s questions, they wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear.[]
How were they supposed to know it would come to this…]
Looking at them, the doctor understood everything.
“Regardless, this constitutes intentional assault. This isn’t just a family matter anymore. I’ve already called the police–they’ll be here soon.”
The doctor was a mother herself, with a daughter.
She couldn’t understand how, when their daughter was injured, these parents could remain so indifferent.
Even now, she couldn’t believe that the wounds on my body had been inflicted by the couple standing right in front of her.
How could parents be so heartless? She couldn’t imagine.
My sister sank to her knees, unable to understand why
Mom and Dad would treat me this way.
Seeing their daughter like this broke Mom and Dad’s hearts, but they didn’t know what to say.
Now they were starting to regret it too–how had it gotten so serious? They’d only meant to teach me a lesson.
