Chapter 4
I failed to jump from the building.

I was beaten so severely that I was too weak to even step over a threshold just a few inches high. Moreover, my mother discovered my intention and gave me another brutal beating!
This time she used all her strength, hurling various objects at me.
She despised me completely.
“You want to die, don’t you? I’ll help you!
“A worthless piece of trash like you deserves to be beaten to death! In your next life, you’ll become an animal and still suffer endless torment!”
I felt like every bone in my body was broken. Lying on the ground, I looked no different from an animal.
I waited in despair, praying only for death to come quickly.
My mother’s screaming woke up my father and my two younger sisters.
He scolded her for being too loud and risking complaints from the neighbors, but he didn’t spare me a single glance.

My two sisters stood quietly to the side, handing her various tools to beat me with.
They felt no guilt about me whatsoever. After enduring twenty years of beatings, I no longer dared hope they would save me.
I pleaded one last time: “Just kill me. Mom, let me die.”
My mother seemed stunned for a moment, but then the rolling pin came crashing down on my head.
I thought I was finally going to die. But when I woke up, I was covered with clean blankets, and doctors and nurses were surrounding me, treating my wounds.
I had been taken to the hospital.
I painfully turned my neck and saw a volunteer in a red vest standing among the medical staff.
She was a community worker.
Seeing me awake, she immediately asked: “Do you need me to help you call the police? Although domestic violence cases are hard to prosecute, you’re already an adult, and your mother’s assault on you can be charged as intentional injury!”
I shook my head, closed my eyes, and said: “No need.”
This volunteer was a good person. Seeing my defensiveness, she

voluntarily told me about how she rescued me.

It turned out that the community workers had been aware of my situation for a long time and had tried to intervene several times, but my mother had firmly refused them entry.
Last night at midnight, my mother’s beating was so loud that they took a firm stance, forced their way in, and rescued me directly.
She was a good person. She saved me.
But I didn’t feel happy about it.
I really didn’t want to live anymore.
If it were just my mother who hated me, that would be one thing – at least I’d have other relatives to depend on.
But then she whispered something to my father, and he pulled out his belt to whip me.
I had hoped my grandparents could save me, but after hearing those words, they abandoned me too.
Even my last hope, Sandra, sided with my mother and forced me toward death!
I wanted to die, but I couldn’t even manage to jump from a building.

I told the volunteer everything I had endured over these years, treating it as a summary of my tragic life.
After listening, tears streamed down her face, and she declared with righteous indignation that she would make sure my mother faced justice.
She also said she would rally the neighbors to condemn my mother together. To let me witness this moment, she deliberately started a live stream.
But the content of the live stream was completely different from what she had told me.
