The Cryogenic Betrayal Chapter 1

Overnight, the family business went bankrupt, and mom and dad were both paralyzed in a car accident.

I gave up my studies, used my tender shoulders to carry the heavy burden, and also carried their hope of survival.

In three years.

I sold plasma, worked as a human punching bag in underground fight clubs, and signed long-term clinical drug trial agreements.

Working three high-risk manual jobs a day, just to pay off debts and gather high nursing fees.

Until I was cleaning the exterior glass of a hotel at high altitude and saw.

My parents, who should have been living in a nursing home, were holding Champagne, chatting and laughing with friends.

"Mr. Sterling, you and your wife have been faking paralysis for three years, almost tired Nancy to death, isn't it time to stop?"

Dad snorted lightly, "Three years is too cheap for her. If she didn't deliberately bring fresh flowers back, how could she cause Stella to get a rash. Not giving her some punishment is unreasonable."

"But Stella finally cured her pollen allergy, I plan to let Nancy go. On Stella's birthday, we will announce our recovery to the public, and I will also restore her identity as the eldest miss of the Sterling family."

"But you recovering so fast, won't Nancy suspect?"

Mom said with incomparable confidence: "That silly girl, always looking forward to our recovery, happy too late, how would she think so much."

"Since Nancy was found back, she has been targeting Stella. This time counts as paying for her mistakes, we will compensate her double in the future."

I hung in mid-air.

Sweat mixed with tears fell into my mouth, bitter and astringent.

But Mom, there is no future.

To get a sky-high compensation, I signed a death agreement.

* * *

Fifty-eighth floor high altitude.

Wind blowing whirringly, slapping my face raw pain.

My whole body was soaked with sweat, wind blowing made it even more biting cold.

Safety belt tightly strangled my shoulder and back, I was like a puppet doll, blown swaying left and right.

I laughed and laughed, vision blurred.

The howling of wind covered my sobbing.

Dad raised his glass and said: "Thank you friends for your cooperation these years, we have one last punishment for Nancy, hope you accompany me to act this play fully, no one intervene then."

People present froze.

"Mr. Sterling, you still want to punish her?"

"Yeah, after all she is your biological daughter, enough is enough. Aren't you afraid she knows the truth and leaves you?"

Dad sneered, "Precisely because she is biological, I have to change her unruly and willful temper properly."

"Relax, she won't leave us even if beaten to death. Back then after she got lost, she crossed half of the country alone just to reunite with us, how could she bear to leave?"

"But Stella is different, after all not biological, easy to have estrangement with us. We must consider her emotions, can't let her suffer a bit of grievance."

Turns out my three years of painstaking effort.

Was simply a thorough joke.

My future, my dignity, even my life.

Worthless in front of her grievance.

Heart was fiercely gouged out a piece, even breathing carried dense pain.

Just then, a call came in.

"Miss Nancy, ten days later the institution will conduct Live Cryopreservation Experiment on you, these days you say goodbyes to family properly."

I wiped a handful of tears and said: "Nothing good to say goodbye."

Ten days later, is Stella's birthday, also my birthday.

When Stella was adopted home.

Parents changed her birthday to the same day as mine.

Just now I was still racking my brains thinking.

How to open mouth, let them calmly accept this fact: My birthday, is also death day.

Now seems unnecessary.

"Okay then, according to our agreement, after you are frozen, $10 Million funds will be transferred to the nursing home's account."

"Institution will send special person to manage account, ensure every penny used on your parents."

"Wait, here I want to add one more clause."
