My mother’s words sent Sandra into instant panic. She froze for a moment, then demanded of my mother: “How do you know? Who told you?”
My mother burst into laughter, trembling as she said: “The answer is obvious–your two daughters, of course! You don’t raise your daughters, and when they’re dying, you dump them on me. Their chests are hollow, and they cried telling me that their father was sick and you made them save him. What mother in this world could be as cruel as you?”
My mother’s roar made Sandra completely lose her mind. She dropped her gentle facade and contemptuously stepped on my mother.
“Those two little bitches are truly ungrateful. If it weren’t for saving Ethan, I wouldn’t have gotten pregnant and aged myself. But they were still useful–they not only saved Ethan’s life but also made him years younger. Too bad I’m too old now to have more children, otherwise he could live for decades more.”
My mother roared: “You’re a devil! A vile old witch!”
Sandra said indifferently: “You ugly woman don’t understand anything! I’m a medical student from the seventies. Do you know how much research I’ve done to delay aging? But my efforts paid off. At sixty years old, I met Ethan with the appearance of a twenty–year–old and even had children with

him.”

Ethan was my father’s name, but I thought: “Isn’t Sandra only twenty–eight? Why is she saying she’s already sixty?”
I looked at my two sisters crying in each other’s arms, and sorrow spread through my heart. When they were first brought to our house, they were already four years old, thin and small, very afraid of strangers. It was my mother who raised them with love and tenderness, nurturing them into the elegant girls they are now. I used to be incredibly jealous of them, but now I only felt sorry for them.
In the bedroom, my mother and Sandra were fighting again. At that moment, my grandparents let out a wail from the next room. My father was dying.
Sandra immediately burst into tears, rushed over to hold him, deeply saddened. She begged him not to die, saying she had a way to save him. Then she actually charged at me with a ferocious expression.
Just then the police arrived, and volunteers rushed to the front to protect me firmly.
Sandra was caught by the police. She stared at my mother in disbelief and fury: “You vicious woman! You really don’t care about Ethan anymore? You’re really going to watch him die?”
My mother wiped the blood from her face and said coldly: “He

should have died long ago! If it weren’t for him, your two daughters and my daughter wouldn’t have suffered so much!”
The police didn’t give Sandra a chance to continue speaking and arrested her for child trafficking, organ trafficking, and illegal medical practice.
Only then did I learn that Sandra was truly in her sixties or seventies. The reason she looked so young was because she had been giving herself full–body blood transfusions every year and had replaced all her aging organs with those of young children. That’s how she was able to meet my father with the appearance of a twenty–year–old, fall in love with him, and bear two
children.
Perhaps she truly loved my two sisters at first. But later, when my father’s kidneys failed, she immediately set her sights on her daughters! Sandra first used her older daughter’s kidney, then her younger daughter’s heart to sustain my father’s life, and unwilling to care for the two weakened children anymore, she simply dumped them both on my mother.
After my mother learned all this, she immediately wanted to go to the police, but she was threatened by my father—if she dared reveal anything, she would be the first to die! He even had my grandparents monitor my mother, not allowing her to leave the house or go to the police station.
His body was already aging and would soon need another surgery. My mother, afraid he would hurt me, tried more than

once to send me away but was discovered by my grandparents cach time. With no other choice, she could only pretend to be crazy at home, beating and abusing me, keeping me in an extremely weak state every day so I couldn’t undergo surgery. She was a desperate mother who could only use this cruel method to save my life.
That day when I overheard my mother’s whispered conversation outside the door, I learned the whole truth. It turned out my father only knew he had used someone else’s organs, but he didn’t know the organs came from his two daughters. He wanted to undergo surgery again to sustain his life, but he didn’t know the new organs would come from me this time.
After my mother told him the truth, he broke down, but facing Sandra, who was the head of an underground illegal medical organization, he didn’t dare act rashly. He could only beat me like my mother did, keeping me weak so I wouldn’t meet the surgical requirements.
