“You know your father doesn’t dare do anything illegal! Also, Lianne definitely didn’t frame you. So withdraw the lawsuit right now!” Mom was adamant Dad and Julianne were innocent.

I lowered my head upon seeing her conviction.

I had no longer expected any maternal love from her. However, that didn’t stop me from thinking….

She knew I never drugged Julianne. She had also been told that the whole incident had been orchestrated by Dad and Julianne.

I thought she would at least feel guilty after knowing the truth. At the very least, she owed me an apology.

Yet, just like Irvin, she felt no remorse. They had never once felt they were in the wrong for treating me so unjustly. All they cared about was protecting Julianne.

My thoughts wandered back to what she had said earlier-“We’re your family. Yet, we don’t like you. Even your beloved husband despises you. Can’t you reflect on yourself? Stop blaming everyone else!”

I couldn’t help but wonder if I was truly the problem. Was I not good enough? Could I never do anything right? Did they dislike me so much because of this? Is that why they still treated me the same way even after knowing the truth?

I snapped out of my thoughts. When I realized where my mind had gone, I shuddered.

My current self didn’t expect anything from them and no longer cared what they thought. Yet, I couldn’t help my thoughts after hearing Mom’s words. I even almost fully doubted and blamed myself because of them.

I could only imagine how the old me would feel. She had still had high hopes that they would love her. If that version of myself were to face such words and unfair treatment, there was no telling how upset she would be.

This made me want to seek justice for my past self.

“So what if Dad is a coward? So what if he didn’t have harmful intentions? He had used me as a guinea pig. Doesn’t giving me a drug like that count as harming me?” I argued, looking her straight in the eyes.

I had been 19 years old when he drugged me. That meant I had barely been an adult. Yet, Dad gave me such a drug anyway. Then, he left me unattended in a public space, just to see if I could make it home on my own.

I hadn’t been fully conscious and had no sense of awareness. Wasn’t he worried I would encounter danger on the way home?

How could he have done something like that? What kind of father cared so little for his own daughter?

“How does that count?” she argued back. “He just wanted to see what sort of effects the drug would have on you. It was just an experiment!”

I scoffed. “Just an experiment? If you think it’s no big deal, then why don’t you give it a try, Mom? Go ahead, test out all of the drugs Dad has developed! Oh wait, you might end up dead if you do. Just try Abyde, then! We should test it on you as many times as Dad did on me all those years ago.”

Mom was flabbergasted. “You vicious child! How could you ask me to risk my life? Just a small amount of Abyde is enough to make someone lose all awareness. Who knows what kind of long–term side effects it might have!”

It was obvious she would object to my suggestion. That was why I threw her words back in her face.

“But didn’t you say there was nothing harmful with experimenting? Why would you suddenly say it’s risky?” I asked with feigned innocence.
