"Why do the main character's parents often get the short end of the stick?"
That is what Mila asked while looking up at the sky. She was grumbling toward whoever sent her inside the novel she read before she died.
She becomes the mother of the main character, whose parents are both dead. Mila's character was merely a tool for the MC's character development.
It's a simple, fix-all solution. The author wanted to make the audience instantly sympathetic towards the main character, and the best thing he did was to have the MC's parents die.

After she avoided her death in the original plot, death flags kept coming for her. 

Will the original plot not end if she's not dead?

Main character's parents must die

A loud tapping sound echoes inside a dimly lit office. Two old men, both wearing suits, have extreme anxiety and tension in their expressions. One was tapping his forehead on his office table, and the other stood timidly in front of the other.

The man standing was getting more tense the louder he heard the tapping. He entirely messed up the task given to him. He couldn't even dare to offer excuses or apologies. He knew he'd be the one at fault, but he couldn't think of any solution but to run back to his boss.

"Sebastian. Why..." The man bumping his forehead on the table stopped moving and just leaned his head on the table. He looked at his tiled floor and thought the floor was much cleaner than his life. He then slowly stood up. He looked at Sebastian and asked him with teary eyes. "Why are you making everything a lot messier?"

Sebastian doesn't have any excuse for that.

"Please fuck off."
