She shook her head in disgust. She hugged the teddy bear and walked out without looking back.
I stood by the window, coldly watching Madelyn toss the teddy bear into the trash like it was garbage.
I took out my phone and called my brother. "It's done. There's one more thing. You need to go see Mom right now," I said.
In two weeks, it will be the day of Mom's car accident in my previous life.
Since I've been reborn, I don't want Mom to die in a car accident like she did in the last life.
Lately, Madelyn had been in a daze, as if she was possessed. She kept mumbling that a ghost was haunting her.
I thoughtfully took her to a fortune teller on the street, hoping she would recover soon.
The fortune teller frowned and shook his head. "Have you been doing too many bad things lately? You need to accumulate good deeds!" he said.
I got anxious and quickly gave the fortune teller a few hundred dollars. "Sir, do you have a way to break the curse?" I asked.
The fortune teller said that Madelyn needed to accumulate more yin virtue and refrain from harming others.
Madelyn insisted she had never done anything bad. But when she saw a beggar on the street, she gave him a few hundred dollars.
