Chapter 6

I clutched that piece of paper, feeling as if all my strength had drained away.

I didn't understand why my daughter would curse us.

In my previous memory, even when she killed my whole family, I didn't blame her.

Was it really karma from my previous life? Was she here to take revenge on me?

David wheeled himself in. When he saw the diary in my hand, his face immediately turned white.

Lily came home from school. Seeing us looking at her diary, she angrily snatched it and tore it up.

David's face turned red with rage. He pointed at his legs and yelled, "Isn't it enough that you crippled me? What else do you want to do, burn your own parents to death?"

Lily looked at us with hatred, then pointed to her throat.

My heart tightened, and I guiltily said, "Lily, Mommy did it for the family's well-being, I had to..."

"Why are you explaining to her? You're right, she's a demon sent from heaven to torment us!"

"If I could choose, I'd rather not have this daughter!"

Lily scoffed, turned, and walked out the door.

I worriedly wanted to chase after her, but David called me back.

His hands tightly gripped the armrests of his wheelchair as he snarled, "How long do you plan to indulge her? Will you only be satisfied when she kills us all?!"

I stammered, lowering my head: "After all, she's our child! What can I do?"

A cruel glint flashed in David's eyes. "Sarah, we can have other children, but this demon will kill us eventually!"

For some reason, my heart felt empty, a sharp ache.

David continued, "I've secretly asked a psychic, and there's only one way to break the curse."

David swallowed hard: "That is to give the curse back to her!"

I almost lost my balance, directly knocking over the glass of water on the table.

The clatter startled me.

I instinctively objected, "This is our daughter! How could I burn her alive?"

David grabbed my hand, soothingly, "Sarah, do you want her to kill you?

Even if she kills our whole family, fine, but what if she goes out into society and harms others?"

This made me hesitate. I didn't know if my daughter was truly a legendary sociopath.

I didn't even know how she was cursing us.

But I didn't want more innocent people to die because of her.

Finally, I reluctantly agreed to David's suggestion. After Lily returned, I gave her a sleeping pill.

I quietly turned on the gas stove in the kitchen and sealed all the doors and windows.

David was in the room packing suitcases, his face unable to hide his joy.

"We finally don't have to live in fear anymore!"

I forced a smile and helped him pack.

Until I saw a family photo. I froze on the spot, trembling violently.

I understood. I finally understood why my daughter cursed our entire family!
