As soon as I finished speaking, my mother's cell phone rang.

"Sister-in-law, the birthday red envelopes I sent to Lucy Thomas were returned when they expired. Why didn't she accept them? Is Lucy Thomas with you?"

It’s my aunt.

After my father passed away, she was the only one who still cared about me.

She is the only one who wishes me a happy birthday on my birthday every year.

When my mother heard my name, her face instantly darkened.

"Don't mention her to me. How could I let her stay here?"

"She probably didn't have the face to accept your red envelope. If it weren't for her, how could your brother have died? And you actually gave her a red envelope?"

My aunt has been transferring money to me without my mother's knowledge these years. If it weren't for her, I might not have lived to be 18 years old. But in fact, I kept all the money she transferred on another card. I never thought of living on the poor charity of others.

Auntie heard my mother's angry voice and spoke hesitantly:

"I only transferred it to her once. After all, her eighteenth birthday is a big deal. She will be an adult and can live on her own. But I suddenly couldn't contact Lucy Thomas. After all, Lucy Thomas is my brother's flesh and blood—"

Before she could finish her words, her mother interrupted her impatiently.

"Okay, stop talking about her. Who knows where she's fooling around? It has nothing to do with me. My only daughter is Lily Thomas!"

Lily Thomas was the name her mother gave her on the day she adopted her.

My mother said I didn't deserve this last name.

She asked me to change my name the day my father died. If I wasn't old enough and she didn't acknowledge that she was my guardian, I would have been unable to take my father's last name, Lin.

Upon hearing this, my aunt sighed helplessly.

Still unwilling to give up, he tried to find out my whereabouts, but his mother ruthlessly stopped him.

"Don't ask me about her. I don't know such a heartless person who has the nerve to live to be eighteen years old!"

After saying that, she hung up the phone with a cold face.

Captain Smith heard everything nearby and said with a deep breath:

"Mr. Thomas has been gone for ten years. Lucy Thomas is innocent. You left her out there for ten years. She has suffered enough."

After she finished speaking, her mother's eyes were red.

" It's been ten years, but I can still vividly remember the look on Mr. Thomas 's face when he died unwillingly! I can't forget it unless she dies in front of me! Otherwise, I will only hate her forever!"

Every word my mother said was like a knife stabbing my heart, making my whole body cold.

For ten years, I knelt in front of her and cried about my innocence from the very beginning.

In the end, I accepted my fate and admitted that I had killed my father, and only asked her to look at me.

But none of them could awaken her love for me.

Mom, now you have finally got what you wished for, and I will no longer exist in this world.

The police in the office gradually dispersed to look for clues. Just as my mother finished her coffee, her cell phone rang again.

" Hello, I'm Lucy Thomas 's homeroom teacher. She hasn't been to school for two days. Is there something wrong at home?"

Hearing this, the mother's brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again.

"Didn't I tell you? Don't ask me about her. I'm not her mother! Don't bother me. It has nothing to do with me if she dies outside!"

After two days of not having a rest, my mother started to scream in anger.

The head teacher was stunned by the scolding and could only apologize and hang up the phone.

Captain Smith was originally looking through the case files, but he stopped what he was doing when he heard his mother's angry scolding.

He raised his head, his eyes full of tired red bloodshot:

"Lucy Thomas hasn't been to school these past two days? She's not an ignorant child. Did she encounter any problems?"

My mother said coldly: "I don't want to hear about her anymore, Brother Chen, please don't mention her again. Every time I hear her name, the death of Mr. Thomas will appear in front of me."

Captain Smith opened his mouth and said nothing.

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound of women outside.

"My child is missing. Can you please help me find her? She just finished the college entrance examination. I haven't heard from her for a whole day. My child is very sensible and never makes me worry. Something must have happened to her!"

The sound echoed throughout the office. Mom and Captain Smith looked at each other and rushed out immediately.

"Hello, when did your child go missing? Are there any obvious characteristics on her?"

I floated gently to their side and looked at the anxiety and worry written all over the aunt's face.

The bitterness in my heart almost overwhelmed my sanity.

It turns out that maternal love is like this...

The aunt in front of me thought for a while, choked up and said:

"My daughter is 1.6 meters tall and very beautiful. She studies very well and is very obedient. She never makes me worry. She tells me where she is going. Before she disappeared, she said she was traveling with classmates and relaxing after the college entrance examination. As a result, I could never contact her again!!"

As she spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller, and she broke down in tears.

Captain Smith turned to look at his mother with wide eyes.

I am also 1.6 meters tall, exactly the same height as this aunt's daughter.

After a while, he hesitated and said:

"We just found a girl's body..."

After hearing these words, the aunt opened her mouth but could not make a sound.

My whole body went limp in an instant.

When she was helped up by the police officer next to her, the color instantly drained from her face.

"Can...can I take a look?" She was almost carried to the door of the morgue by two policemen, her legs were extremely weak.

Just as she was about to open the door, her cell phone rang.
