Bennett still didn’t know about Dylan’s death.
His phone had been turned off for a while now, and he’d been staying at the mountain chapel these past few days, trying to find peace in his heart.
Bennett prayed constantly in the chapel, hoping that in my next life, I could still be his daughter, and he would make it up to me properly.
The system seemed somewhat moved.
Watching Bennett’s gaunt face and his devout prayers, it asked, “Your father truly realizes his mistakes. Would you still be willing to be his daughter in the next life?”
I smiled and said, “Hell no.”

But the system was desperately trying for a perfect ending.
That’s how all stories are written–no matter how chaotic the process, the ending is always perfect, with everyone sitting together happily sharing a meal.
This is the standard ending for all family stories.
I don’t want to complain about such endings; on the contrary, I understand them.

People might claim they want to cut ties with their birth
families, but in reality, only one in a thousand can actually do it.
The desire to be loved is human nature, especially for teenagers. who haven’t yet stepped into the wider world.
For children, parents are their entire world.
To achieve this happy ending, the system gave Bennett a dream.
In the dream, Bennett heard a deep electronic voice.
The electronic voice told him everything, explaining why I would die if he didn’t spend my birthday with me.
After all these years, Bennett once again cried until he couldn’t breathe in his dream.
He said, “I really did kill her.”
“Your daughter doesn’t blame you,” the electronic voice said. “Would you like to see her one last time?”
