I shouted for help and sent her to the nearest hospital.
I cried while waiting outside the emergency room until the doctor arrived.
"Your mom had a weak heart. I am her doctor since she is still young. Even her mom doesn't know and didn't care about that. And it seems you also don't know about it." the doctor look at me and pity is visible in her eyes.
"You make her sad." It wasn't a question. It is a statement.
"I'm really sorry to say this but, her heart just gave up." When he said that, my tears flowed even more.
I caused my mom's death.
my hate for her caused her death.
I got what I want, the freedom but I lost my mom.
