Reincarnated As Conny (HIATUS)

Chapter 20: Be a Mom

You're asking me that when you will also do the same thing?!

Aren't you a hypocrite?

"You don't understand. I'm not planning to die," I told him. I glanced at his face before dropping the bomb. "This is the only way for me to survive and this is the most beneficial action for me and the other orphans."

"You don't know what you're talking about," He said. "Do you think we need your sacrifice? How will you be able to survive those things?!" He shouted. I took a deep breath. Ray is really angry. "You said you wanted to survive!" He shouted.

I closed my eyes hearing those words.

"Stop doing idiot thing!. You're only going to get yourself killed!" He shouted. "Mom is not someone you can trust. Whatever you wanted to do, you should stop it. If you got in her way, she won't hesitate to eliminate you."

Aren't you planning to sacrifice me in the first place?

I tugged his clothes with both of my hands. "Ray..." I uttered. I gripped his clothes tighter before raising my serious eyes at him. "Can you please listen to my explanation first?! Calm down will you?" I shouted at him. 

I pulled his clothes which made him bend down his body. When his body bends down I quickly grabbed his collar as I stared at his face to face. "You are nagging me about that! But you didn't even want to help me make a plan! Can you stop being a hypocrite?!"

"You call me an idiot? Do you think I wanted to do it in the first place?! I also wanted to survive! and this is my only chance!" I shouted. I could feel my face turning red because of anger and frustration."I was the lowest grade of cattle on this farm, will you even try to save me if I didn't turn into this?"

The dark expression on his face disappeared. I pushed him back while gritting my teeth. 

"The top priority of escaping is Norman and Emma. If I won't take over Norman's adoption, don't you think your plan would be a waste?" I asked him. "I know that you have your own plan inside your head."

"You became Mom's spy because of this."

His eyes went wide. "You knew..." He uttered.

"I'm not that idiot. You hinted at me," I told him. I raised my hand and placed it on my ear. "You hinted at me when you told me about this thing," I pointed my index finger at my ear while looking intently at him. 

"I..." Ray uttered before taking a deep breath.  I'm sorry," He said. The boy averted his eyes from me. "I didn't mean to shout at you," Ray touched his forehead before returning his gaze on me. "But it doesn't mean that it will justify your idiocy."

"This is not idiocy," I told him. "You don't even know my plan. I don't know if you're becoming irrational or something."

"Then what is your plan?" He asked. "Why does involved getting adopted? If you're planning to escape through the gate. I am telling you, that gate is surely not the way out---"

"I will become a Mom," I cut him off. The shock was evident on his face when I told him my plan. "I want to become like Mama Isabella."

I will lie again.

"What?" He halted. A dumb expression on his face appeared. "What are you talking about?!" He asked with fury. There was a terrified expression on his face.

"When I sleep in Mom's room..." I paused. I glanced at his face before touching the numbers on my neck. "I noticed that there was also a tattoo on the right side of her neck."

"Just like us,"

"Just like me,"
