"Oh my God, no wonder you didn't come home last night! They didn't do anything to you, did they?"
My mom, forgetting about my dad being threatened, rushed to check me over, full of worry.
I felt a bit guilty but kept up my apologetic and helpless expression.
"Mom, I'm fine, but if I don't pay back the money within a week, I'm afraid..."
I recalled the overwhelming pain of watching my parents get stabbed in my past life, letting that emotion fuel my tears. I cried even harder than Emma had just moments ago.
My mom hugged me, crying uncontrollably, and my dad also forgot to resist.
The three of them were stunned by the scene.
Jason loosened his grip on my dad's hand a bit, glaring at me with hatred. "You, a girl, going to that kind of place to gamble? Why didn't you just gamble yourself away?" he snarled.
Nora, full of resentment, glared at me as well. "Instead of learning anything good, you only pick up the worst habits. Your parents are cursed for having you!"
"Big brother, when she was born, I told you to get rid of her and have another child. You didn't believe me. Now do you regret it?" she added.
