My daughter drank the medicine that was supposed to save her life, but her face kept turning bluer and bluer, and she wouldn’t stop vomiting. The nanny, Xiaoyun, did nothing to help. Instead, she pried my daughter’s mouth open and forced spoonful after spoonful down her throat. I caught a sweet smell in the air and immediately realized: this wasn’t medicine at all. It was sugar water! “Mommy…” my daughter sobbed. “Youyou doesn’t want to drink sugar water… Auntie won’t listen. She says if I don’t behave, she’ll get Daddy to throw me out…” Furious, I shoved Xiaoyun away. My daughter’s breathing was growing weaker, and my eyes reddened. “What are you trying to do? How could you treat my daughter like this?”
