Reborn, Mom Gave Up on Saving Me

After I was kidnapped, my mother, a police officer, hung up my call for help and stayed by my adoptive sister's side.

"If you want to die, then just go die!"

I calmly watched as the kidnappers ripped out my fingernails and beat me until I was covered in wounds.

In my previous life, my mother had actually come to rescue me.

But my adoptive sister, whom she'd left by the roadside, was assaulted and murdered.

From then on, I was the sinner in my mother's eyes.

On the anniversary of my adoptive sister's death, she received an anonymous text.

[A good girl like you wouldn't want your mother to know you contacted kidnappers like us, would you?]

My mother thought I had staged the kidnapping just to compete with my adoptive sister for her attention, and that was why my sister had lost her life.

"I've spent my whole life saving people, only to find that the shameless pest I gave birth to is like this!"

"You should die, and pay Sakura back with your life!"

She threw my ashes into a garbage dump.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day my mother had to make her choice.
