“Nurses, doctors, please take good care of my mommy! I’m begging you. If it weren’t for me, she wouldn’t be suffering like this.” Lily cried.
“What a thoughtful child. If only I had a kid like you.”
“So sensible. Don’t worry, sweetheart. We’ll do our best.”
I reached out my hand to Lily.
“Come here, Lily.”
“You said you’d do anything to help Mommy recover, even give me your legs, right?” I looked at her.
Lily blinked, confused, but still nodded. “Yes, Mommy. If it helps you get better, I’ll do anything.”
“Good.” I pointed to the window. “Then jump from there. Break your legs, and we’ll switch.”
Everyone’s faces changed instantly, including the doctors and nurses.
“This woman is insane! What did the child do wrong?”
“Exactly. It was the kidnappers, not the child.”
“Parents who take their anger out on children don’t deserve to be parents.”
