After I fell down the snowy mountain, no one in my family even noticed I was missing.
I tried to reach my brother on the walkie-talkie, but he just snapped impatiently.
Do you have to make a scene right now? Luna lost one of her gloves. We need to take her back. Stop trying to play the victim!
Luna. My sister-in-law.
I connected to my fiancé, Daniel. His voice was even colder than Alex’s.
“Luna lost a glove. I’m not in the mood to deal with your jealousy.
“I bet you stole her glove, didn’t you?
“If anything happens to her, you and I will be enemies for life!”
With my last ounce of strength, I tried to reach Mom and Dad.
My parents’ answer was to hurl the walkie-talkie into the abyss. The line went dead forever.
A month later, they finally remembered me.
“Luna’s fine, she doesn’t need to be so jealous. Tell Summer to come back quickly.”
“Mr. and Mrs. Harrison, Miss Summer’s body has been recovered from the snowy mountain.
“She didn’t make it, as she gave her own warm gear to Miss Luna.
“She carved this final plea into the ice:”
“ In the next life, never be a Harrison.”
…
“She’d give her gloves to Luna?”
Alex snorted coldly.
“If she’d even thought about it, even if she hadn’t actually done it, I wouldn’t feel like I wasted my time being her brother!”
“It’s true, Mr. Alex! Miss Summer not only gave up her gloves, but she also swapped her down jacket with Miss Thorne! That’s why Miss Summer didn’t make it!”
“Enough!”
A ceramic cup shattered at Mr. Peterson’s feet.
Dad fumed with indignation.
“If she just didn’t try to bully my foster daughter, that would be a miracle. How could she swap gear with Luna? Doesn’t she always complain that we only give good things to Luna and not her?”
“We gave her the best equipment for this trip. What more could she be unhappy about?”
My soul rushed forward, trying to shield Mr. Peterson from the flying shards.
But the pieces passed right through me, cutting the back of his hand.
Tears welled in my eyes instantly.
“Mr. Peterson speaks the truth! Luna said her glove had a hole, so I offered to swap with her! Don’t take this out on him! He’s the one who helped raise your own children!”
My sister-in-law Luna’s eyes reddened.
“Mr. Peterson, I know Summer’s gloves are the warmest. How could I let her swap them with me?”
Luna sighed as she spoke.
“I know Summer likes to be jealous, but stealing my gloves on the snowy mountain was really too much.”
“You’re lying!” I gritted my teeth so hard they ached.
But I was just a ghost.
My anguish couldn’t reach anyone’s ears.
“But as her sister-in-law, I won’t really blame her. She shouldn’t be playing with her own life like that!
“Mr. Peterson, stop getting worked up with her.”
“Tell her to come back immediately, I’ll apologize to her.”
A voice interrupted her.
“Why should you apologize to her?”
My soul looked at my fiancé, Daniel Hayes.
He stared coldly at Mr. Peterson.
“She’d scheme for Luna’s gloves even in minus fifty-degree weather, and now she’s playing the victim? Tell her, we’re not falling for her tricks. If she doesn’t come back today, she should never come back!”
I stared at him, stunned, a tear tracing a path down my face.
Daniel…even you?
Mr. Peterson’s wrinkled face was filled with helplessness.
“But… Sir, Ma’am… she is still your daughter. Your sister. Your fiancée.”
Mom sneered. “I don’t have a sweet daughter who’s out partying it up while I’m on my deathbed.”
“Exactly,” my father cut in. “When my wife was fighting for her life, all she wanted was one last look at her girl. And Where was Summer? It was Luna who stayed by my wife’s side!” Dad added.
Alex also snorted. “We raised an ungrateful wretch for all these years!”
No…
That’s not true!
I shook my head, tears streaming down my face.
Mom, I didn’t know you were in critical condition that day!
Luna used Alex’s phone to text me, saying you were perfectly healthy! That’s why I went to celebrate my best friend’s birthday!
With a sorrowful sigh,?Luna wiped the corner of her eye.
“Summer hates me, I know. I won’t stay at home anymore, let her come back. Don’t worry, with her around, I’ll never appear to annoy her.”
“Wait!” Mom stopped Luna.
She turned to Mr. Peterson.
“Daniel is right. In this family, our foster daughter is much more important than our biological daughter. If she can’t come back today, she’ll never be a Harrison again!”
My heart seized with a painful spasm.
I clutched my hollow chest, gritting my teeth.
Don’t worry.
I didn’t want to be one anyway.
Hadn’t I written it in my own blood before I died?
“In the next life, never be a Harrison.”
