A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

The plastic surgeon pushed his glasses up his nose and said to Mark, emotionlessly, "Mr. Mark, I believe Miss Tina is still suffering from mental illness. While I am not the right person to help with her mental treatment, I'm sure that you can find other experts who can help her."

Mark's parents also tried to remind him, but the surgeon beat them to the punch. Everyone noticed that Tina wasn't mentally stable. She experienced episodes of uncontrollable tearfulness, euphoria and temper tantrums all in one day. Her mood swings had become erratic, and her emotions uncontrollable, which in essence was a mental disability.

Mark was aware of the truth too, but he didn't want anybody else to judge his sister. "Shut up. That's none of your business. Just do what I've paid you to do," he said.

The surgeon shrugged his shoulders, and rubbed his hand against the back of his neck.

Indeed, it was not his business at all. All he needed to do was to follow their orders.

By the time, Bess and Abbott tried to contribute to the conversation, Mark had already left the room for Tina.

Soon the surgeon followed Mark's lead. Before he stood up to leave, he looked at Bess and Abbott and said, "Miss Tina is not feeling well today. I will come again some other time."

There was a beautiful garden behind their house. Even in the coldest winters, the flowers would bloom as if it were spring.

However, the garden was now used to raise rabbits, a great number of white rabbits.

When Tina was in the mood, she would kill two rabbits at time. But when was angry, she would kill at least five rabbits. Satisfying her need for instant gratification, had led her to get addicted to the mindless killing.

The rabbits raised in the garden did not live long enough, but the Tao clan would always buy more new rabbits to replace the dead ones. Tina was very particular about the kind of rabbits she wanted. They all had to be white and they had to be cheap. If they brought her an expensive breed of rabbit, Tina would throw wild temper tantrums.

In Tina's perspective, Emily was like a cheap rabbit. Buying well-bred rabbits at higher prices would raise Emily's status, which she could never allow.

Tina hated Emily so much that her hatred had become an essential part of her life. It became the part that kept her going.
