Nephew Died in A Typhoon and Rainstorm

The typhoon was coming. Jimmy Baxter, my nephew, didn't wanna stay at home and insisted on going to the beach.

I was the only one who disagreed. Yet everyone else in the family doted on him and took him out.

No sooner had Jimmy gone into the sea than he was swept away by the waves.

I fought as hard as I could to bring him ashore, and then I got exhausted and was swept away by the waves.

Henry Baxter, my brother, Sheila Nelson, my sister-in-law, Alan Baxter, my dad, and Daphne Meyer, my mom, saw the whole thing, and then they actually turned around and left.

When I opened my eyes again, I decided to give up on them. They didn't deserve to be my family. At the same time, I discovered a shocking secret!

Jimmy was lying on the floor, twisting his body while making a scene.

"I wanna go to the beach. I don't wanna stay at home!"

He kicked the toy on the floor, and it hit my nose.

He laughed out loud. "Rhea, you're so stupid! I can't believe how slow your reactions are!"

I snapped back to my senses and found myself sitting on the sofa at home. Didn't I drown?

"I wanna go to the seaside. Take me there!"

Jimmy was still crying and howling, and his voice was almost hoarse.

Sheila didn't bear to see him sad. "Let's take Jimmy to the beach. It's not that windy anyway."

Mom leaned against the window and looked outside. "There are a lot of people outside. Seems the typhoon isn't that scary."

The weather forecast had long warned that the typhoon was about to land in our city, and citizens were advised not to go out. Everyone should stay at home.

In my previous life, Jimmy insisted on going to the beach, and I tried my best to persuade everyone not to go out. It was so dangerous outside, and who knew when the typhoon would land?

Sheila mocked me, "You're such a coward. Fine. Don't come with us if you're so scared."

Henry echoed, "Stay here if you don't wanna come with us. No one is forcing you."

Yet I tagged along since I was worried about them.

When we arrived at the beach, there was no one there. Even the snack and swimsuit shops on the beach were closed.

Only my family dared to come out on a typhoon day.

Jimmy immediately changed into swimming trunks and went to the sea to play. My parents wanted to pick up some shells, and Henry and Sheila wanted to browse their phones. They asked me to keep an eye on Jimmy.

The wind was getting stronger, and the sky was getting darker.

Seeing that, I hurriedly called out to Jimmy, asking him to go ashore.

However, he refused to listen to me at all and said that I was worried about nothing.

In the next second, there was a big wave, and he disappeared.

I quickly called for help. At the same time, I jumped into the sea to rescue him.

I tried my best, and finally, I sent him back to Henry. Yet I was beat and swept away by the waves.

I shouted for help, but my family was so focused on soothing Jimmy that they ignored my shouts.

Seeing that the weather was getting more and more scary, they left with Jimmy.

I died in the sea. My body floated to the depths of the sea and was eaten by fish.

Now that I was reborn, I only wanted to love myself.

Seeing that I was sitting on the sofa motionlessly, Mom tugged at me. "What are you waiting for? Change your clothes! We're about to head out!"

"I have a headache. It's windy outside, so I'm not going."

Sheila immediately said, "Might as well. If you tag along, there won't be enough seats in the car."

Seemed everyone was happy that I was not going. In fact, I was the happiest. They'd regret it soon.

In my previous life, I had given my all to them. Most of the money I made was used to subsidize my family, even the down payment on Henry's wedding house.

And what did I get? When I was dying, they walked away.

I'd rather not have such a family!

It'd take at least two hours to drive from my family's place to the seaside. They were already on the way.

I cooked myself some spaghetti. After eating, I lay on the bed and slept soundly.

When I woke up, I found that there were several missed calls from my parents.

I called Mom. "What's up, Mom?"

"What are you doing? I called you countless times!"

She shouted so loudly. I quickly took the phone away.

"I was sleeping. I didn't hear you calling."

"Jimmy was swept away by the waves! How could you still be sleeping?"

I pretended to be surprised. "What? Jimmy was swept away by the waves? How? What about you guys? Are you OK?"
