Holding the lottery results in my hand, I realized that in this life, I not only needed to break free from Logan but also make the Carter family pay for their actions in the previous life. Most importantly, I wanted to live beautifully!
Three:
The events that followed were similar to what happened in the previous life. I received Logan's severed finger, held a funeral, but this time, I couldn't cry, no matter how hard I tried.
When most of the relatives and friends had arrived, the drama was about to begin.
I picked up a tissue soaked in menthol and wiped my eyes. Instantly, tears streamed down my face as I began to sob.
"Logan, how can you leave me like this? What am I supposed to do in the future?" I cried.
"I regret it so much. I knew you were in a hurry to get back to see your mom because of her kidney failure, and I let you drive alone. I should've gone with you," I continued.
Relatives and friends tried to console me, but I shook my head.
"No, it's all my fault. Mom called to tell us about her illness, and I should have gone with you. I shouldn't have stayed back just because Mom and Lilian don't like me and always scold me."
The relatives and friends looked at each other in disbelief, not expecting this side of Annie and Lilian.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lilian's voice came from the doorway, accompanied by Annie.
They had known that Logan had faked his death, so they weren't deeply saddened. Furthermore, Annie was unwell, which is why they arrived late. They didn't expect to hear me tarnishing their reputation.
Trembling, Annie approached me. "Logan had the accident because of you. You couldn't resist your cravings, and you caused his death. But now you're putting the blame on me!"
"If Logan knew about this, he would be heartbroken!"
Lilian snorted, "It's you. You always liked to boss Logan around, telling him what to buy. Strawberries are your favorite fruit. Before the accident, he called me, saying he was buying fruit for you!"
Four:
Sobbing, I looked guilty as I said, "Mom, if this makes you feel better, I can accept your version of events."
This statement only made matters worse, especially with my pitiful appearance. Lilian came up and slapped me, "What are you pretending to be innocent for? You're the one who killed my brother!"
