Lahat ng Kabanata ng After I Play Dead, My Four Moms Break: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

When I jolted awake, I realized that the one who was talking to me wasn't Dad, but the system.It mentioned that Dad had left an opportunity for me when he left. I could go to his world if I wanted to.Of course, I was willing to go to his world.However, I swallowed back the words right before I blurted out my answer.I asked, "Will my life be better if I stay with Dad? If he loved me, why didn't he take me with him in the first place?"The system explained that Dad had accepted the mission because Grandma had been deathly ill at the time. He only came to this world because he wanted to save her.He had only been a sophomore in university in his original world. Not only had he spent all his savings to pay for Grandma's medical bills, but he also had to pay off his family's debt.My four mothers had promised Dad that no matter whose child I was, they would treat me as if I was their own flesh and blood. They had begged Dad to leave something behind for them to remember him by.

The pain that I was expecting didn't come.My fall had been broken by a tree outside the window.Joanne looked deathly pale when I was saved. She stormed forward and slapped me hard across the face."Are you done fooling around yet, Henry?" she demanded.Gloria also looked incredibly upset. She was shaking all over. She approached me and kicked me."What are you trying to do, Henry?"I stumbled to the floor. The kick felt like a blade stabbing into me and twisting in my stomach, especially since I had just had a stomach lavage.A foul taste surged up my throat from my gut. I spat out a mouthful of blood before falling to my knees in front of Gloria and Joanne."Ms. Yates, Dr. Kerry, please leave me alone. Just let me die."Bewilderment crossed their faces at my words.Gloria frowned. "Is this a new tactic? Are you forcing us to pay attention to you by begging to die?""No," I answered with bloodshot eyes. "I saw Dad's system. It told me that I can go to Dad's side as long as

Silence descended upon the room, leaving only the sounds of William's sobbing.A long time passed before Gloria asked, "Who beat you?""Henry," William answered."When?" she asked."Half an hour ago."William couldn't shake the feeling that Gloria was acting strangely that day. "Do you know where the other Moms are? Can you come back home soon? I'm so scared."Gloria massaged her brow as she listened to his teary voice. "Henry's dead, William."William immediately fell silent on the other end of the line."The doctors were still trying to revive him half an hour ago," she continued icily. "Can you explain how he could have hurt you during that time?"William didn't answer.…Gloria, Tessa, Joanne, and Barbara returned home five hours later.William was standing in the living room and rushed over to them when he spotted them. His eyes were bloodshot, making it obvious that he had been crying."What happened, Mom? Is Henry really dead?"Gloria, who was in a foul mood, ignor

The system mulled over it before accepting my request. She pointed in a random direction in the air and summoned a black hole.I walked into the hole.I was seconds away from disappearing when I heard someone calling my name."Henry!""Henry Ludwig!"Gloria, Tessa, Joanne, and Barbara were calling out to me, but I wasn't going to turn back this time.…I stepped out of the hole and into a warm room.The delicious fragrance of food wafted through the air.I called out to the system, but I didn't receive a response. I was just about to exit the room and take a look around when the door swung open.A handsome man strolled into the room. He was stunned when he saw me.We recognized each other at the same time.The man was none other than my father, Isaac Ludwig. He was just as handsome in person as he was in his photos.Dad's eyes reddened while I was still at a loss for what to do. He ran over to me and pulled me into a hug, asking, "Is that you, Henry? Are you my dear son?"

Gloria, Tessa, Joanne, and Barbara began jumping around in joy, reminiscent of monkeys in a zoo.Gloria seemed to be especially ecstatic. She looked like she was on the verge of tears when she said, "You're back too, Isaac. This is great. I can't believe that I still get to see you in this life.""This is amazing!" Joanne exclaimed as she approached Dad and me and tried to hug us. "Both of you are back. Since you're already here, just stay. All of us missed you so much."Dad didn't hesitate for even a second and slapped her when she reached for him."Tell me how you raised my kid, Joanne."Silence descended upon the room in an instant.Gloria stepped forward and said, "Listen to us, Isaac—"Dad didn't let her finish her sentence and slapped her too. He then slapped Tessa and Barbara as well.I looked at the scene unfolding before me in shock, feeling extremely pleased.Dad was so cool!The sounds of the slaps rang clearly through the air. Identical handprints appeared on th
