Looking back on everything that’s happened ,I'm even more certain that my daughter is a demon.From the very beginning,she knew everything.She's not a normal child at all.She didn’t just kill my other child but also wants to kill me.She's so terrifying just for the nutrients she needs.I think I have to kill her.
When I got home,I told my husband what our daughter had said that she wasn't a normal child.
"Our daughter really isn't a normal child.She's a demon.I want to kill her.She's a monster I created.I'll turn myself in after I kill her."
My husband said angrily,"Are you crazy?You've disliked her since she was born. She is still young and doesn't understand what she's doing.We should guide her correctly and let her grow up happily."
I said,"But we've been guiding her for so long.Has it made any difference?"
My husband replied,"How can it not be useful?Every day when I come home from work,she takes the initiative to bring me my slippers."
I said,"That's just on the surface.She's very good at pretending.She told me today that she ate her sister."
My husband became even angrier.He said,"You're really crazy.The doctor said this is normal.It's not called'eating',it's called the survival of the fittest.Maybe she heard others say it like that,so she said it too."
I asked,"You mean it's all my problem,right?"My husband said,"I'm very tired today and don't want to argue with you.You should adjust yourself well.For your own good and the child's good,I'll send our daughter to her grandparents'house to stay for a few days tomorrow."
I said,"One day you'll find out that she's a demon."
The next morning,when I woke up,my eight-year-old daughter had actually made breakfast.In front of her father,she cried and hugged me,saying,"Mommy,don't abandon me.I'll listen to you from now on.Don't send me away. Please don't abandon me,Mommy."
Had she overheard my conversation with her father yesterday?I angrily pushed her away and demanded,"Did you eavesdrop on my conversation with your father yesterday?"
My daughter cried even harder and ran to hug her father's leg,saying,"Mommy,I'm not a demon.I'm normal.Don't kill me,Mommy.Don't abandon me."
My husband comforted our daughter tenderly,saying,"Baby,Mommy didn't mean that.Your mommy is just too sad about losing the other child.You suddenly mentioned it yesterday,so that's why your mommy reacted so strongly."
"But Mommy often says I'm a demon in private.Does Mommy really not want me anymore?Does Mommy really want to kill me?"
I've never said that she's a demon in front of my daughter.
I was extremely heartbroken.How could I have given birth to such a daughter?I despaired,"When did I call you were a demon?Yesterday you said you ate my child."
Maybe she was truly frightened by my appearance,or maybe she was acting.My daughter hugged my husband even tighter.My husband said angrily to me,"Stop talking.You're scaring the child.She's just a child.What does she know?I think this is your fault.Your behavior now also scaring me too."
I said,"Have you forgotten how terrifying she was when she was a child?"
My husband shouted hoarsely,"That's how you see her as terrifying.In others'eyes,she's just a bit more naughty.It's you who think she's a demon.You stay at home alone for a few days. I'll take here to her grandparents' house with the child.I'll ask your best friend to come and stay with you.You should calm down."
My husband angrily pulled our daughter back to the room to pack their luggage.But when he wasn't looking,my daughter clearly showed a triumphant smile.I didn't see it wrong.Her smile didn't look like the smile of a child at all.
After my husband and daughter left,my best friend came to my house.I asked her,"Is it really not my problem? Am I be overthinking? Maybe she's just a bit more naughty than other children,or maybe because of what happened with the twins becoming one child,I have a prejudice against her."
My best friend thought for a moment and then answered seriously,"You do have a bit of a prejudice.I haven't had much contact with your child,but from my experience with her,your child is indeed very abnormal."
I said sadly,"I don't know why.Every time I see her after that day,I think of my other child.I think I've always been good to her,but she always sees me as an enemy.Deep down,I actually love her.After all,she's the child I carried in my womb for ten months."
My best friend said,"I of course know that.Otherwise,you wouldn't have quit your job to stay at home and take care of her.However,is she really your daughter?I feel like with your and your husband's genes, I don’t thibk you have given birth to such a child.I want to tell you something about your daughter that I haven't told you before."
I nodded and said,"Go ahead."
My best friend said,"When your daughter was six years old and my son was three,you brought your daughter to my house.There's a well in front of my house,right?Your daughter was holding my son and trying to throw him down the well.When she saw me coming,she immediately pretended nothing was wrong and carried my son back into the house.I thought they were just playing around at first.But later,I found out that she was trying to suffocate my son with a pillow."
