After my sixteenth birthday. I inherited a huge Trust Fund left by my parents. Once the money arrived, I hired fake family members online. Dad, Mom, and Brother. I instructed them: "My dad talks little, but agrees to everything I say." "My mom is gentle, cooks great food, especially Mac and Cheese." "My brother has poor health, also doesn't like me, you just treat me as non-existent." All three looked very uncomfortable. After a long time, the fake mom held my hand and asked softly: "Why do you want to hire family? Do you miss them too much?" I avoided the guilt in her eyes, buried my head in her arms and laughed: "Being alone is too boring." They obviously sighed in relief. But in a place no one could see, I quietly wiped away tears. Actually what I didn't say is, I am dying. This time, don't hypnotize me again, to forget your faces. ... Chapter 1 The three people in front of me are all my closest relatives. But the absurd thing is, I want to see them, but can only do so by hiring. The moment tears were wiped away, Mom unknowingly touched my head. "Riley, be good, from now on just treat us as your real family." Dad also echoed and nodded: "We signed a six-month contract." "These six months, we will treat you well." I thought I was mentally prepared. No matter what they said, I wouldn't be sad. But really hearing these words, my heart was still sour and swollen. Six months. What about before that? What about after? Are you going to fake death and abandon me again to make Brother happy? These words stuck in my throat, about to blurt out. But still suppressed by me, didn't dare to ask a single word. Can't ask. If I ask, they will understand I already know the truth, and will hypnotize me again. So I withdrew from Mom's arms, forced a smile: "Okay, you guys act natural, just like a family, don't be restrained." "Tsk." My voice fell, Brother suddenly sneered mockingly. Then didn't even act, turned and went back to his own bedroom. Mom and Dad looked at each other, hurriedly chased after him. Door closed, I carefully walked over to listen to the movement in the bedroom. Brother still hates me so much. Even mentioning my name, tone carries disgust: "Mom, Dad, why did you sign that contract with Riley?" "Didn't we agree to move out and never see her again during the five years of treating my illness?" "Jasper, didn't you see Riley's appearance, how pitiful." Mom coaxed him: "It's just a month, your health is almost recovered, just endure it and it will pass." "After a month we will leave, next two years Mom and Dad will accompany you abroad, okay?" My heart "thumped", blood all over body cold. Brother irritably said: "I just can't stand it, based on what she is so healthy, even rarely gets a cold." "I was born with constant major and minor illnesses, this is unfair!" Dad who hadn't spoken for a while sighed: "Jasper, this matter doesn't blame Riley." "Back when your mom was pregnant with you, our family company was just starting, your mom suffered a lot, so your health is also not good." "If want to blame can only blame me, didn't take good care of you guys..." "Actually I just feel uncomfortable in heart." Brother is the type who eats soft but not hard. Hearing Dad say so, tone slightly softened: "Forget it, anyway at most one month." "After a month hypnotize Riley to forget this matter, we leave!" Hearing the word "Hypnotize", my body uncontrollably trembled. Just wanted to leave quickly, just turned around, the door behind opened. Mom saw my figure, face changed. "Sorry ah Riley, my son is a bit unskilled, not intentionally throwing temper..." I looked into the room. Brother pursed lips, eyes full of disgust. I laughed awkwardly twice. "It's okay Mom, he acts very well." "My brother hates me just like this, wishing I go die." When Mom was pregnant with me, Dad already gained a foothold in Seattle, no need to worry about money anymore. From pregnancy Mom was very careful. Ate and used were all the best. So after I was born until grew up, I was very healthy. Also lively and cheerful, loved to make noise and laugh. But Brother because Mom worked hard during pregnancy. Born with poor health, constant major and minor problems. He was very annoyed with me. Annoyed that I always smile, never get sick, even if catch a cold just take two pills and get well quickly. Even more annoyed that I could jump around when he was uncomfortable, hugging Mom and Dad's arms acting spoiled. This annoyance accumulated day by day, gradually evolved into disgust. Before I didn't understand. I never thought one day, health could also become a sin. Until Brother suffered from severe depression and cut his wrist. When he was sent to hospital for rescue, I was crying anxiously aside. Dad who never scolded me suddenly slapped me: "Still have face to cry, isn't your brother like this all because of you!" "If Jasper has any mishaps, I will beat you to death!" I was beaten dumbfounded, also extremely scared. Luckily later Brother's life was saved, nothing happened. From then on, I became careful in front of Brother. I never dared to jump around again, even deliberately pretended to be sick several times. Because I found once Brother saw me uncomfortable, he would rarely smile at me. He felt the sick me, the sickly me like him, was his sister. But such situation didn't last long. Because I was really too healthy. Even if deliberately took a cold shower before checkup, result came out still no illness at all. Experienced doctor frowned and warned Mom: "Rest assured, just a bit cold constitution." "But the little girl is only twelve, you don't always give her cold food and drinks." "Yesterday gave her cold shower right?" Mom and Dad stunned in place. I nervously clenched fingers looking at Brother. His face ugly, glared at me and ran away. After this day, the fake death plan that tortured me for three years, officially started implementation. That time I was only thirteen. Suddenly learned family all died in car accident, panicked unlike shape. Their plan was very thorough. Specially arranged people to help me handle funeral all the way, hired nanny to take care of me continue school. Also found lawyer said will was made long ago, wait until I am sixteen to inherit estate. I was too stupid, never thought they were lying to me. Just blindly sad, collapsed, self-healed, sad again... Cycle repeats. Until the year before last, I bumped into them at Disneyland. They were playing with Brother. When I crying pounced up, whole family's face was very ugly. Mom flustered pushed me away, said I recognized wrong person. But how could I recognize wrong? Own Mom and Dad, how possible recognize wrong? I crying shouted: "You are my Mom and Dad ah! I didn't recognize wrong!" "Is it I not obedient? What did I do wrong you can beat me scold me, why don't want me?" Mom face pale, brushed away my hand hugging over again. "Riley, you just wait for us a few more years." "Wait until you are eighteen we will go home, be obedient." I felt like falling into ice cellar, hysterically shouted: "Why! Could it be just because I am healthier than Brother?" No one responded. They all stood in place watching me go crazy. And such indifference, let me besides anger born endless panic. I knelt on ground, heavily kowtowed crying shouted: "Beg you go home ba, I wrong, all my fault!" "You are my family ah, beg you come back ba!" I kowtowed until head broke, still no one paid attention to me. In trance, I even felt this was just a dream of mine. Everything in front was fake, I just missed them too much, so hallucinated they were still alive. Until Brother coughed twice. Mom and Dad nervously grabbed his hand: "Jasper are you okay? Is it uncomfortable?" "Said can't come out play, let's hurry go back!" Saying, they three turned want go. I confused and helpless asked: "Where are you going? Really don't want me anymore?" Dad steps paused, turning back face full of sorrow. "Riley, you go home first, tomorrow you will forget this matter." I looked at their walking away figures in disbelief, face pale. Sure enough not long, a Hypnotherapist found me. Pity, they underestimated my vigilance. Hypnosis failed. I just pretended to forget this matter. Next two years didn't mention a word again, also didn't go find them again. Even last year diagnosed Stomach Cancer, I also told no one, hid this matter in heart. Until after inheritance arrived, I then posted on Craigslist hiring relatives. I knew, they would definitely see. Not come, then I quietly go die. Come, is life last bit surprise. "Riley, today let's eat Mac and Cheese." Mom's words pulled back my thoughts. She gently smiled at me: "Long time didn't eat, Mom will make for you in a while!" My eye rims red, almost dropped tears again. "Better drink porridge, eating meat stomach will hurt." "Why stomach hurt?" Mom nervously frowned. Dad and Brother in room also looked towards me. I smiled very lightly: "Bit gastroenteritis, it's okay." They all sighed relief. And I turned, fast walked into bedroom. Door closed, I covered face with hands. So close, just now tears almost fell. Mom Dad, you lied to me for three years. Today let me, also lie to you once ba... Chapter 2 I haven't eaten Mom's hand made food for a long time. Although my current body can't eat much. But I still couldn't help, drank two more bowls of porridge. After meal, Dad said had things go out. Mom cleaning in kitchen, me and Brother sitting on sofa watching TV. Such scene just like when young. We seem never separated. "Didn't expect you would also have time getting sick." Brother suddenly sneered once, "When got gastroenteritis? Eating medicine works?" I sank face: "My brother won't actively talk to me." His expression stiff, pursed lips awkwardly moved away sight: "Like who willing actively talk to you." I watched TV, ignored him. After a while, he asked again: "Then did you take medicine?" I frowned, just about to let him be quiet. Then heard Dad's voice ring at door. "Riley, you quick come look which medicine works?" Me and Brother turned head together. Dad hand carrying a bag, inside filled with dozen kinds of gastroenteritis medicine. I slightly stunned, somewhat cramped. Too long time no family concern. I already forgot how should respond. Brother face sank, turned back to room. Home atmosphere became subtle, Dad awkwardly stood in place, also didn't know should give medicine to me or not. Finally was Mom took medicine bag handed to me. "Riley, your Dad specially went out bought for you." "Let's look together, which kind you usually eat?" "You guys act very well." I took medicine bag, casually picked a box. "This is fine, I eat myself later." Mom face smile stiff, eyes rose thick guilt. "Riley, didn't we agree this month not mention contract matter?" "You just treat us as your biological parents, don't say anything acting not acting anymore..." Don't know if psychological effect, seeing medicine, my stomach really bit hurt up. I nodded, avoided her burning sight, went kitchen pour water take medicine. This night, Mom slept with me. I fell asleep fast, but had nightmare. In dream, I repeatedly returned to day being hypnotized. Hypnotherapist held me, constantly guided me forget family looks. I tried to wake up, but how also couldn't succeed. To end, really forgot Mom Dad and Brother. I woke from dream, whole body cold sweat. Mom also woke, subconsciously patted me, "What wrong Riley, had nightmare?" Hearing her voice, I instantly cried out. "Health has fault ma? Why don't want me?" I uncontrollably pounced into her arms, greedily smelling Mom's scent: "Mom, is it if I die, you guys can love me a bit more?" Mom body stiff, tone panicked: "Riley, did you remember something?" Hearing this sentence, I like poured by a basin cold water on head, instantly sober. "Mom Dad, why you leave me, I miss you so much..." I vaguely crying, body shivering: "I also want die, I want go find you guys." "Turns out talking in sleep." Mom sighed, reached hand hugged me tight. Speak again, her voice also choked: "Riley, wait us another two years, just two years okay?" "Wait cure your brother's body, we still are a family." "You won't remember anything, that time no pain anymore." I closed eyes tight, heart like grabbed by big hand, painful almost suffocate. Mom, I can't wait two years anymore ah... Next morning woke up, bed side already no one. Mom went make breakfast. I inexplicably felt stomach hurt severe. Force support get up wash. Brushing teeth time constantly retch, finally spit a mouthful fresh blood. I skilled opened tap wash clean, continue brush teeth. Originally didn't care, who knew after breakfast, stomach hurt to unbearable level. I bit afraid, holding secret expectation asked Mom: "Afternoon, can accompany me go hospital? I feel bit uncomfortable." Mom immediately agreed: "Of course." Immediately concern asked: "Riley where you uncomfortable? How about we go now!" My heart rose a burst warmth, "Afternoon ba, morning I still have things." Actually I nothing have, just because morning my doctor shift off. Plus Dad accompanied Brother went out, afternoon can come back. I want whole family go together. Mom nodded, poured me a cup hot water. Noon, I secretly took special painkiller slept a sleep. Result woke up, home no one person. Already three o'clock, where can they go? I called Mom. "Where are you guys? Didn't say want go hospital with me..." "Riley, you go hospital yourself, my son fever, we can't accompany you!" Words not finished, interrupted by Mom hurried voice. My heart fell into hell, momentarily didn't know what to say. Mom apologetic said: "Sorry ah Riley, if you not urgent then wait, tomorrow we accompany you go also okay." "No need." I hung up phone. Then mechanically wore clothes, went out, went hospital. Until met Dr. Wilson, I all muddle headed, didn't know how myself came over. Dr. Wilson looked my report, brows locked tight: "Riley, your current situation very bad." "Although your parents passed away, you also have to take care yourself ah, do you have other relatives?" I lowered eyes, mocking bitter smile: "You just say, how long I can still live ba." Dr. Wilson somewhat unbearable looking me: "One or two months ba..." "Thank you." I nodded, put away report, turned out hospital. Sky floated snow, when I home, snowflakes fell full head. Mom eagerly welcomed up, "Riley, did you go hospital yourself? Why not wait us?" "Can't wait." I expressionless rubbed past her shoulder, back to bedroom. Left three people in living room look each other. From this day, I rarely spoke to them. Time passed fast up. Blink eye, one month passed, contract expire. Brother awkwardly threw new contract to me. "Sign it, accompany you act another two months." I expressionless, didn't even look contract once. "No need, you guys go, salary later transfer to you." He surprised looking me, stunned in place. Good half while then bite teeth: "As to ma? From that day not accompany you go hospital start then throw face." "This has what good gamble anger, you..." "Contract already expired, no need act anymore." I looked him, eyes no sadness no joy: "Pack pack, take your Mom Dad, go ba." His face embarrassed, silent long time, finally packed things, took Mom Dad leave. Before leave, Dad and Mom held my hand instruct: "Don't hire people from internet again, in case bad people ne?" "You have our number, have thing contact us." "Thank you." I polite nodded, pulled hand out. Mom Dad sighed, turned leave. They left after, I replied Dr. Wilson message, clear expressed I don't want hospitalize. Then transferred all money they left me, to Dad's card. Remark: 【Return you guys, later we no relation again.】 Message sent, I also went pack things.
