I crawled out of the bedroom, intending to escape. However, the monster mom seemed to have installed roller skates on her feet. She reached the doorway faster than me. Her pale gray hand pressed directly on the doorknob.

Her voice sounded like a death knell in my ears:

"Xiaoxi, how could you forget? Your room is the master bedroom with a separate bathroom."

Yes, because my parents felt sorry for me, they slept in the guest room while I slept in the master bedroom. The master bedroom had a separate bathroom.

My younger brother always stayed with them because he was still young.

Hopelessly, I entered the bathroom. However, the frosted glass door reflected my mom's bright red dress, creating an illusion.

It seemed as if the door was flowing with blood, glaring red.

Do you think it ends here?

No, I even saw the distorted face of the monster mom slowly pressing against the glass door, flattening and squashing all her features. Even through the frosted door, I could clearly see her terrifying appearance.

She wasn't guarding me because she was afraid I would disappear. She was monitoring me, just like a surveillance camera. I felt every cell in my body screaming.

Helplessly, I had to open the door. With her here, my brain couldn't function. I had to make her leave this room, out of my sight. I needed to stay calm.

"Mom, please go and rest. I need to rest too."

I lowered my head and counted the lines on my palm to distract myself. I heard a sigh.

"Well, make sure you cover yourself with a blanket and don't catch a cold."

I didn't raise my head until I heard the sound of the door closing.

However, I saw that the monster mom didn't leave at all. She was still holding the diagnosis paper that Grandma had left behind.

The previously gentle and caring voice became sinister and terrifying.

"Xiaoxi, what is this? Why are you so disobedient?"

My heart sank to the bottom. I never expected this monster mom to be so difficult to deal with.

"Mom, I'm really, really obedient. I found this on the floor, and I haven't had a chance to look at it yet."

After saying this, I felt my whole body go limp.

Behind my back, on the back of my hand, I triggered the pre-edited message on WeChat and sent it directly to the security guard's office.

I knew the security guard here. Because I was well-behaved and sensible, sometimes when I forgot to bring my access card, I would shamelessly ask the security guard to open the door for me. Over time, we became familiar with each other.

I looked at the calendar. Today was an even-numbered day. It should be the tall and burly uncle. I prayed in my heart for the security guard to come and take me away quickly.

"Really? Is Xiaoxi really that well-behaved?"

There was no expression on the monster mom's distorted face, but her tone clearly indicated disbelief. I could only nod like a garlic.

"But I don't believe it. What should we do? Xiaoxi, do you want to prove yourself?"

I felt a shiver in my heart. How could I prove myself? Should I commit suicide or sincerely hand over my heart?

"Mom, don't you believe me? I... I would be very sad."

I pretended to look upset while keeping an eye on the sound outside.

But what came wasn't the sound of the security guard knocking on the door. It was the sound of Dad creaking open the door.

Dad and the monster mom presented a stark contrast. Mom was too twisted and horrifying, while Dad seemed more normal.

At least at first glance, Dad seemed normal.

Facing two monsters, I felt as if I was being crushed by two mountains. I couldn't even move my limbs, they were so stiff.

Dad crouched down and stared at me with his zombie-like pupils.

"Xiaoxi, don't run around randomly, okay? Mom and I will worry. Did you call the security guard? I already let him go downstairs for tea."
