- 12.
Nora Anderson was rushed for emergency treatment due to severe injuries.
Luckily, she survived.
But she could never move again, lying like a coma patient in bed.
Her adoptive parents saw their daughter in this state and blamed everything on me,
“Why did she end up like this while with you at the Graham’s? Why didn’t you save her sooner? Why did you let that monster hurt her like this? After raising you, do you have any conscience left?”
I looked at their endless accusations and smiled wryly.
“Do I have a conscience? I have too much of it, which is why I let families like yours drain every last bit of value from me.
You just raised me. Over the years, the money I spent on you has already covered all the expenses of raising me.
But indeed, you are all one family. Whether I save you or not, you never show me any kindness.
Because you think having raised me, I owe you my life, to work for the Anderson family.
Nora Anderson’s fate is her own doing. If you hadn’t schemed against me, if you hadn’t coveted others‘ wealth.
None of this would have happened.
This is your consequence. But since you dislike me as your adoptive daughter so much, it’s fine. From now on, you two can live well with your biological daughter.
I will move out, but don’t worry. If you ever lack an income source, I will fulfill my duty as an adoptive daughter and provide the minimum living
expenses.
But from now on, we have nothing to do with each other.”
I voiced all my grievances over the years.
The ties, I have repaid in full. I will no longer sign away my life for anyone.
I changed my name to Chen, severing all ties with the Andersons.
For my merits in solving the Declan Graham case, I was promoted to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, specializing in investigating large, complex cases.
To find the truth for every innocent victim, to clear their names.
