- 8.
Ms. Walker is a great person. She helps me to
be happy. She gives me what I needed at age
- 12.
The Joneses are putting money in my
account, asking me to meet.
I block them, but I take the money, since they
owe it to me.
With my wishes, Ms. Walker takes me as her
child.
L
I am no longer a Jones. I have parents.
Ms. Walker’s husband is loving and agrees
with her wishes.
After he noticed I was scared of men, he kept
his distance.
After he scared away the thugs, I was able to
tolerate contact with men.
Ms. Walker loves travel and takes me with
her.
In the end, she brings me to the Netherlands.
She says here, the Joneses can’t bother me.
The past is a dream.
く
I have a lover, and I have a child.
love my daughter. My life is good.
Jones family thoughts:
Lily:
When I turned 14, my family wanted to bring
Rain home.
I grew up, and I realized I wasn’t nice to my
sister.
I didn’t hate her. When I was little, I looked up
to her.
She wasn’t like my family. She had friends,
and she wouldn’t do what I said.
Since I was little, I always had to get what I
want.
I got her friends to ignore her, and I made my
parents cancel her art classes.
But I didn’t want her to die.
I got Carter to get her, and I got her many
gifts as an apology.
I got her a house and a nice school.
Who was the person that Carter brought
home? They were twisted.
I pull on Carter and tell him to stop. “Where’s
Rain? This isn’t funny.”
Carter pulls away. “You killed Rain with your
L
selfishness. Now you are the only daughter.
Are you happy?”
I locked myself in my room and looked at
what happened to Rain.
I killed my sister.
The Joneses were sad.
– it
After Rain died, everyone loved her. But it
was too late.
I took too many pills and killed myself.
Next life, I won’t be selfish.
Carter:
I have two sisters. The younger sister is
く
always jealous.
Moments are more important to Dad than
anyone else.
I want to please them, so I hate Rain.
But sometimes, when she calls me, I am soft.
So I get her clothes that Lily does not want.
When I get pastries, I give her the ugly ones.
I got annoyed, so I stopped.
Rain brought me tea and rubbed my temples.
When did I start putting her in the basement?
After Dad called me worthless and Rain
L
dropped my work.
1 was stressed.
I arranged everything for her overseas.
It would be good if she left.
She called me, but Zhang said she was fine.
So I hung up when she said she was raped.
I went to America and saw Zhang and her daughter, but Rain was not there.
Zhang said she was in the slums.
I found her frozen in the snow.
I lived in the basement with her and saw the
く
marks on the door.
It was so dark and cold, Rain.
Mom:
After Lily was born, I hated Rain.
She was jealous and needed to have what Lily
had.
I didn’t understand why she was so jealous.
I hired a nanny, and I ignored Rain.
But the nanny abused her.
T
After Rain died, I couldn’t find her things.
On the day I kicked her out, I threw them
away.
I missed the Rain before Lily, the happy girl.
She was jealous and needed to have what Lily
had.
