I couldn’t believe my ears at first and doubted what I had heard, but the more I listened, the clearer it became that he was indeed planning to kill me. After a while, the restroom next door fell silent, so I assumed he had left. I took a deep breath, realizing only now that I had been holding my breath in panic, sitting on the toilet shivering.
What should I do? I didn’t want to die! My mind raced with thoughts of how to survive. I decided to act as if nothing had happened and to keep calm.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKsv6H62tn

I left the restroom and walked back to my seat step by step. My mother suddenly looked up and asked, "You've been in the restroom for a long time. Are you okay?" Oh no! I couldn’t let my father know that I had been in the restroom or he might realize that I overheard everything!208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn130Pvx49

I smiled and shook my head, "I felt unwell, so I went to the window to get some fresh air. Since I felt better, I didn’t go to the restroom. Do you want to come with me now?" My mother shook her head, so I returned to my seat, where my sister suggested we play a card game together. I pretended to be interested in playing with her to ease my fear. Meanwhile, I kept a close watch on my father, but he appeared normal, even smiling and being friendly.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnqG5NZqFP

Who would have thought he was planning to kill me? My fear made my stomach churn, and I probably turned pale. My father asked, "Are you feeling good? You look really sick." I immediately took a deep breath, forced the food down, and replied, "I’m fine, just that this game is a bit hard... Come on, sis, I accept your challenge!" I forced a smile, my mind racing. If he wanted me to appear as if I died accidentally, I definitely couldn’t give him the chance to act alone.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCiy5UQEwb

I kept a secret watch on my father to prevent any movement, but nothing happened until we arrived at our destination. I reminded myself to stay cautious and to act excited about the trip.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocxQpFRqP6

After disembarking, my sister tugged at my sleeve, pointing to a souvenir shop next to the station. She wanted to check it out, so we went to the shop. I saw a promotion for buy-one-get-one-free dolls and discovered they were recording dolls! They could record and replay what you said. I had an idea—if my father intended to kill me, I could record the conversation as evidence. So, I took my sister to the dolls, and naturally, she wanted one. I convinced our parents to buy them for us. In the end, she got a rabbit, and I got an owl. I hugged the owl tightly, careful not to drop it. This might be my lifeline! During the trip, I stayed close to my mother and sister, not letting my father have a chance to kill me!208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I3pAIfivL
