Chapter 10

Penulis: Superhero
I couldn't wrap my head around the reason Dad had suddenly come to regret having Juliette. Back then, he said that as long as Juliette was alive, nothing else mattered; he never specified that she had to be healthy.

I'd sacrificed myself so that Juliette could live. So, why was she met with his cold, contemptuous gaze, too?

As it turned out, Mom and Dad only ever cared about money. Neither I nor Juliette ever truly mattered to them.

From that day on, Dad started staying away from home.

  • Swapped: I Live as My Dead Sister   Chapter 10

    I couldn't wrap my head around the reason Dad had suddenly come to regret having Juliette. Back then, he said that as long as Juliette was alive, nothing else mattered; he never specified that she had to be healthy. I'd sacrificed myself so that Juliette could live. So, why was she met with his cold, contemptuous gaze, too? As it turned out, Mom and Dad only ever cared about money. Neither I nor Juliette ever truly mattered to them. …From that day on, Dad started staying away from home. On the rare occasions he did return, he reeked of alcohol. He would scowl the moment he laid eyes on Juliette and lash out at Mom. "Why did you let her sit here again? She drools so much; it's disgusting! Did she do her rehab? "... What's the point of doing it anyway? At the end of the day, she's still a vegetable! "I'm telling you, I've had enough! You're the one who gave birth to her, so you take care of her. I'm done with her!" He no longer held Juliette in his arms. The little girl he

  • Swapped: I Live as My Dead Sister   Chapter 9

    Because of Juliette's arrival, Mom and Dad were genuinely happy for a long while. Day in and day out, I watched them surround her with a team of eight nannies, catering to her every single need. All kinds of nutritional supplements were provided like clockwork. Even her formula was imported from Vesperia, easily running over a grand per can. Juliette was raised in much the same way that I was. The sole difference was that when they looked at Juliette, their happiness came straight from the heart.…Unfortunately, time had a way of wearing out even the greatest joy. By the time she was old enough for kindergarten, Juliette had yet to learn to talk, let alone walk. Whenever she saw someone, she would just grin foolishly with drool running down her chin. Mom and Dad no longer dared to take her out in public. Juliette's third birthday wasn't marked by a lavish celebration, fireworks lighting up the night sky, or a house full of guests. If anything, there was only a cold, clinical

    Juliette's first birthday celebration was scheduled on a bright and sunny day. Dad invited every single soul in his social circle. "You must come. If you don't, it means you look down on me." He personally called everyone. "Don't worry about gifts; just make sure you're there." He rented out the hotel's ballroom, placing a six-foot-tall portrait of Juliette right by the entrance. Scripted in gold at the bottom were the words, "My Beloved Daughter's First Birthday Celebration."Juliet, who was fast asleep, looked even more adorable than any regular baby.The guests filed in one after another, their faces plastered with smiles as they showered him with well wishes. Dad stood at the entrance to greet them, dressed in a sharp suit with a bright red boutonnière pinned to his chest, grinning ear to ear."Thomas, congratulations, old friend!" Dad led the guests toward their seats, bragging the entire way. "Take a look around. I reserved 30 tables with gourmet catering, vintage champa

    Juliette's condition, however, was far from optimistic. "The baby's brain has suffered irreversible damage. It'll likely affect her cognitive development in the future."The doctor's words made Dad look as if the weight of the world had suddenly crushed him. Looking at Juliette, who was in the incubator, my heart ached for her.Dad practically begged the doctor, "Please save her. She's my only daughter. I don't care how much it costs!"Yet, I couldn't help but think... if it were me lying in there, he probably would have given up on me a long time ago, wouldn't he? I sighed, watching helplessly as Dad grabbed Mom by the collar. "This is all your fault, you crazy bitch!" The veins on his forehead bulged. "When the medical staff told you to push, you refused. When I told you to bring her into the world, you kept making a scene. Now, look at what you've done. My daughter's in NICU because of you!"Choking from his tight grip, Mom's face flushed crimson."Do you have any idea how

    A brief silence fell over the corridor. Then, someone muttered under their breath, "Could she be suffering from postpartum depression?" "Still, postpartum depression doesn't make people this delusional; she's talking about her previous life and all…""Quick, call for a psychiatric consultation!"Dad finally snapped out of his elation. Noticing his wife in such a state, he looked a little embarrassed. "Calm down. Even the nurse said you gave birth to a girl. What else is there to doubt?"Mom stared straight at him. "Do you not believe me either? Don't you remember what happened in our previous life? That jinx killed our daughter!"Dad's expression shifted slightly. They'd had a poor-quality embryo during a previous pregnancy and were forced to abort it. If the one who survived in their previous life was their son, then this time... He lowered his head to look at Juliette. If the one who died in their past life was their daughter, who exactly was this girl who survived?"I don't

    Mom stiffened, a mocking smile forming on her lips. "I see that you're lying to me again. Is it because you're afraid we won't pay for our son's treatment? Where's your director? I want to file a complaint!"The nurse panicked. "Please take a good look, ma'am! You really gave birth to a daughter!" Then, she parted Juliette's little legs to show Mom.Staring at the undeniable female anatomy, Mom was dumbstruck. At long last, she was about to realize she had given birth to Juliet. However, the very next second, Mom abruptly flipped, thrashing wildly on the hospital bed. "This is unbelievable! How dare you swap my baby? I clearly gave birth to a boy!"Juliette's condition was rapidly deteriorating. I circled anxiously in the sky. She was so small and frail; she wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer. Fortunately, the doctor stopped wasting his breath on Mom. After sweeping Juliette up into his arms, he rushed out to find Dad. "Who is here for Eleanor Leigh?"Sadly, the corr
