01:18the living room was thick with cigarette smoke my father sat in the principal seat on the sofa
01:22the cigarette between his fingers not so much as lifting his eyes it was as if that woman huddled in

02:00i could only pick up his leftovers even my college tuition was money i had earned myself by working
02:06three jobs now the inheritance grandpa left behind included two properties on long island worth close
02:12to a million dollars yet they were driving me out of the house and saddling me with a mentally ill

02:18turned to look at my aunt in the corner her name was diana miller it was said that 20 years
02:22ago she
02:23was the champion of the statewide science competition and had received an acceptance letter from mit but
02:28my grandmother believed in it cult and loathed educated women even her own daughter was no exception
02:32not only did my grandmother steal my aunt's acceptance letter and burn it she also locked her in the attic
02:37and tried to force her into a marriage with a local long island family to settle family debts and uphold
02:41the
02:41family's reputation she refused so she was locked up for three whole years for over 20 years she had
02:47been confined to that dark damp attic living like a prisoner by the time she was let out she had
02:52suffered
02:53a complete mental collapse mom have you thought this through i jangled my car keys my voice so calm it
02:59surprised even myself the houses go to my brother and the mad aunt goes to me my mother rolled her

03:19his
03:19fiancee wouldn't that be heartbreaking just get her out of here the mere sight of her irritates me my
03:25father blew a smoke wing and finally spoke emily don't hold our harshness against us you're capable of
03:30living independently we are thinking more about your brother letting you take care of your aunt
03:35is also because she loves you the most sign the papers quickly don't hesitate emily he pulled a
03:41document long since prepared from the coffee table drawer waiver of inheritance and assumption of
03:46guardianship agreement it turned out they had planned this all along the moment i signed those two
03:53houses would have nothing whatsoever to do with me what was more i would be responsible for caring for
03:58my aunt until her death from that point onward her well-being illness and eventual passing would be
04:03none of their concern i picked up the paper and scanned it it was spelled out in black and white
04:07eye emily miller do hereby voluntarily renounce all rights of inheritance to family property and assume
04:12full guardianship and support obligations for emis diana miller henceforth there shall be no further
04:16financial entanglements with the miller family this hurry up and sign what are you hesitating for
04:20i laughed until tears nearly spilled out is your love for aunt just a sham so this was my
04:26i picked up the pen and signed my name on the agreement with swift decision fine i picked up
04:31the pen and signed my name on the agreement with swift decisiveness i'm taking her with me in the
04:36future don't come crawling on your knees begging me to take this treasure back my mother looked as
04:40though she had heard the most preposterous joke a treasure a worthless wreck who's been insane for 20
04:45years only you could mistake her for something precious get her out of here so she doesn't die in
04:50our house and leave us to pay for the disposal i paid them no further heed i walked straight over
04:57to
04:57the corner and crouched down sensing someone approach my aunt was so terrified that she
05:02trembled violently emitting whimpering sounds from her throat she clutched her head with both hands and
05:06curled herself into a tight bowl like a frightened animal looking into her eyes clouded yet somehow still
05:11clear i felt a sharp stab of pain in my chest don't be afraid it's me emily i'm taking you
05:16home i reached
05:17out and gently took hold of her grimy calloused hand her skin was piercingly cold at the sound of my
05:23voice she shuddered and slowly lifted her head her gaze was filled with fear bewilderment and a faint
05:28cautious flicker of recognition i helped her to her feet just like that i led her by the hand and
05:34walked
05:35out of that suffocating house behind us came brian's triumphant laughter and my mother's mocking voice
05:40finally got rid of that parasite without that mad woman's racket at night i might actually have
05:45trouble falling asleep i opened the car door helped my aunt into the passenger seat and fastened her
05:53seat belt the car started and we left that neighborhood through the rearview mirror i saw
05:58the three of them close the door they didn't know the trash in their eyes held the most valuable trump
06:02card in all of new york the trump card that would make them regret the car sped along all the
06:08way back
06:08to my rented apartment the entire ride my aunt clung tightly to the seat belt her body stiff as
06:13a rock her eyes stared fixedly at the flashing manhattan streetscape outside the window a mix of
06:18terror and curiosity in them 20 years she had been locked in that pitch dark attic for 20 whole years
06:22to her the outside world was both strange and terrifying when we reached the apartment building
06:27i helped her out of the car in the elevator going up she was so scared she hugged my arm
06:32tightly
06:32her nails digging into my flesh i soosed her softly it's okay auntie this is the elevator it's taking
06:39us home after we entered the apartment and i was just about to pour her a glass of water
06:44i turned around and found she had disappeared
06:50startled i quickly searched everywhere finally i found her in the walk-in closet of the bedroom
06:57she was curled up in the deepest corner covering herself with a few pieces of clothing trembling
07:03non-stop that was a habit she developed in the attic whenever she heard the slightest noise she would
07:10hide feeling the beating seeing her like this i almost cried i didn't dare force her out so i just
07:17sat
07:17at the closet doorway and spoke softly to her ami it's safe here no one will date you from now
07:24on this is
07:25your home just the two of us are you hungry i'll go make you something tasty just then my phone
07:33rang
07:33it was my mom calling i took a deep breath and answered emily where is that mad woman's social
07:42security debility benefit account what's the password you took the person away but the account stays my
07:50mom's indignant voice came through the phone that money is your brother's monthly allowance you can't
07:53keep it all for yourself my fingers turned white gripping the phone my fingernails digging deep into
07:57my palm every month my aunt received nearly a thousand dollars in disability benefits all these
08:0220 years they had taken that money for brian to squander my aunt ate leftovers and wore rags in the
08:07attic yet they wouldn't even let this bit of money go i have already contacted the social security
08:11administration reported the benefits lost and changed the cs show account from now on just money
08:16will only be used for her treatment with that i hung up the phone directly and blocked the number
08:21my aunt and i had been kicked out everything had nothing to do with me anymore
08:26i got up went to the kitchen and boiled a bowl of pasta adding lots of parmesan cheese i brought
08:33it to
08:33the closet doorway and the aroma drifted in my aunt's stomach growled twice she quietly poked her head out
08:40stared at the bowl her throat moving eat auntie i made it specially for you i pushed the bowl and
08:48chopsticks towards her and stepped back a few paces she hesitated for a long time before carefully
08:53extending her hand and taking the bowl then she wolfed it down as if she hadn't eaten a full meal
08:58in several lifetimes after eating her mood stabilized a little i took out a financial report brought back
09:03from the company and sat on the sofa to work overtime there was a big project recently the data was
09:08messy
09:09and i was somewhat irritated doing the calculations my aunt huddled in the corner of the sofa
09:13fiddling with the rubik's cube i played with as a child it was a gift she gave me before she
09:18went
09:18insane suddenly a grimy hand reached over pointing at a number on the document i froze turning to look
09:25at her her eyes were very focused and her finger pointed firmly at that number then pointed at the
09:31calculator next to me puzzled i picked up the calculator and recalculated the result shocked me
09:36that number was indeed wrong and there was a very subtle error impossible to spot without careful
09:42checking auntie you can understand this she didn't speak just lowered her head and continued fiddling
09:48with the rubik's cube a few seconds later the scrambled cube was restored in her hands
09:54memories from childhood suddenly surged up back then my exam results always stayed below ab and i was
10:00depressed my aunt would secretly call me to the attic door when no one was around through a crack in
10:05the door
10:05she'd slip me a piece of chocolate then she would use a twig to teach me how to solve problems
10:10on the
10:10ground her thinking was clear better than the school teachers at that time i was too young to
10:15understand why such a smart aunt would be locked up now i understood she was a genius a shattered genius
10:21even with her spirit broken even locked up for 20 years i looked at the corrected document in my hand
10:27then at my aunt still huddled in the corner a fire suddenly lit in my heart they thought they had
10:32thrown away trash what they didn't know was they had thrown away a gold mine
10:38the next day i took leave and brought my aunt to the hospital i wanted to know whether her illness
10:43could be cured at the hospital we registered with a top psychiatric specialist the doctor conducted a
10:48series of detailed examinations on my aunt including a brain mri and cognitive function
10:52assessment since i had taken her out i had to be responsible for her while waiting for the results
10:56my phone kept buzzing i opened it and messages kept popping up all from family relatives it turned
11:02out brian was getting married and the bride's family wanted more i was about to reply with a
11:06refusal by text when the call came in i answered it very reluctantly emily brian's wedding is a big
11:13deal you should at least show some gesture it was the eldest uncle in the family his voice deep and
11:18distinctive clearly having smoked a lot of weed i heard you've made partner at a manhattan law firm your
11:23income isn't low it's only reasonable to help with some wedding expenses there were other voices on
11:27the phone male and female seemingly discussing something don't be so unsympathetic emily you're
11:35the best elder daughter in the miller family please help out i'm begging you listening to these morally
11:39manipulative words i sneered before to maintain superficial family harmony i always swallow my
11:44grievances whenever they asked for money i gave it and what did i end up with kicked out treated like
11:50a
11:50cash machine to use at will i put the call on speakerphone directly took a photo of the waiver
11:57of inheritance and assumption of guardianship agreement and sent it to my uncle's email now i
12:02shout into the phone everyone take a clear look i have using signed and waitered raw right family
12:06catching iterations since i am not entitled to any assets wedding expenses and related debts
12:11naturally have nothing to do with me i now have to take care of my aunt and pay for her
12:15treatment so
12:16i have no extra money the phone went instantly silent emily what kind of attitude is this he's
12:22your own brother even if you sign you can't just stab her like that you took in that mentally unstable
12:27aunt what use could she possibly be shut your dirty mouth only aunt loves me in this family i hung
12:32up the
12:33phone and conveniently blocked all those clan members who only knew how to demand the world was finally
12:40quiet at that moment the doctor came out with the test report his expression was somewhat serious
12:47are you the patient's family i quickly stood up yes doctor i'm her niece i am her legal guardian the
12:53patient does not have genetic schizophrenia the doctor said which shook me she has severe post-traumatic
12:58stress disorder compounded by long-term illegal confinum and malnutrition lead to a folia and cognitive
13:04impairment simply to what she was driven mad by human faction but there is no organic damage to
13:09her brain structure and furthermore her logical thinking areas are extremely active far beyond
13:14the average level if we combine systematic therapy and medication along with careful care and social
13:18rehabilitation training if we combine systematic theriotherapy and medication along with careful care
13:24and social rehabilitation training there is a very high chance she can recover most of her functions
13:31hearing this my tears nearly fell it wasn't an incurable disease there was a possibility of
13:36recovery this meant my aunt could still be saved thank you doctor thank you i shook the doctor's hand
13:41emotionally after leaving the hospital i took my aunt to a department store on fifth avenue and bought
13:46new clothes i gave her a haircut and it back looking at that woman in the mirror i almost couldn't
13:51recognize her looking at that woman in the mirror i almost couldn't recognize her i decided to
13:56start systematic desensitization therapy for my aunt no longer keeping her shot at home but taking her
14:02to parks supermarkets to interact with people initially she was very resistant hiding whenever
14:07she saw a stranger i patiently accompany her telling her over and over that it was safe here slowly
14:13she became less afraid she even started smiling at a passing golden retriever
14:19back home in the evening i spread out the documents brought from the law firm on the table
14:24i deliberately got stuck on those complex data models sure enough my act came over she picked up a pen
14:30and quickly scribbled several formulas on the paper at that moment her eyes were focused and sharp
14:35nothing like a patient i looked at those perfectly solved formulas and a bold plan formed in my heart
14:41since brian and others thought my aunt was trash i would let them see how this trash could trample them
14:46underfoot brian's wedding was set for saturday at a church on long island early in the morning
14:51i got a call from my mom it was wailing on the other end emily where are you get over
14:56here now a hitch
14:57problem the bride's family had heard there was an act in the family who had been crazy for 20 years
15:02worried about hereditary mental illness affecting the next generation they wanted to cancel the
15:07engagement on the spot unless they paid another five hundred thousand dollars as a risk compensation fund
15:12when they needed money my mom thought of me she figured that since i had worked as a financial
15:17advisor in manhattan for so many years i must have savings and now that i was taking care of my
15:22aunt
15:22that was my original sin i said coldly into the phone it has nothing to do with me i know
15:30you resent
15:30the family but your brother is innocent you bitch if you don't give me the money i'll come find you
15:36and
15:36have you locked up just like your aunt after hanging up i wasn't panicked back then my aunt loved grandma
15:42too much and was imprisoned by love but i wouldn't be i took my aunt to my law firm she
15:47was wearing the
15:47professional suit i bought her her hair neatly combed she was wearing noise cancelling headphones
15:52listening to an overseas client conference call while quickly typing on the keyboard the screen was
15:57filled with dense english contracts and financial transaction data these past few days i had tried
16:03letting her touch some of my work the results shocked me she was not only proficient in her native
16:07language but also had knowledge of german and french moreover her talent in financial modeling was
16:13simply at a crushing level those difficult cases of mine were like elementary school math problems in
16:18her hands half an hour later a commotion came from the law firm's front desk
