After My Life Reborn, I Discovered Painful Truth About My FamilyChapter 1
On the day I married into a wealthy family, my father handed me a card with a worried look on his face.
"Alice, rich people won’t treat those of us from humble backgrounds sincerely. You should think more about yourself. Your mother and I will save five thousand dollars every month to give you some security. We can only help you so much."
I held my parents’ rough hands, moved to tears and etched their words into my heart.
After marriage, I lived like a hedgehog—always on guard against everyone in my husband’s family. In three years, I secretly saved nearly five million dollars in the card.
Tommy eventually moved abroad to live alone because of my coldness and domineering behavior.
It wasn’t until I was diagnosed with cancer and needed surgery that I discovered there was only a pitiful twenty dollars left in the card.
When I cried and confronted my parents, my brother—wearing a million-dollar watch—kicked me out of our family home.
"My parents give you half of their pension every month. You still have the nerve to ask for money? Don’t you even leave them anything for their coffins?"
In the end, I was labeled a leech and cursed by countless people. I died alone in the street.
When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day I was diagnosed with cancer.
——
"Fortunately, it was discovered early. If the surgery is done in time, the survival rate is still very high." The doctor held my CT report and comforted me gently.
I jolted awake. The pain of the terminal cancer hadn’t fully left me. My hand holding the bank card was already drenched in sweat.
In my previous life, I had been grateful that I listened to my parents, believing the five million dollars in the card would be enough to save myself. But in the end, the only thing I could afford before I died was a bag of painkillers for one dollar.
Remembering this, I trembled in fear, quickly stood up and walked aside to call Tommy.
But Tommy didn’t answer. The call ended automatically after ringing out.
As hopelessness washed over me, I sat down on the bench in the hospital, buried my head in my hands and sobbed uncontrollably.
At that moment, my father called. His voice was filled with delight.
"Alice, your brother is bringing his girlfriend over today. Go to the seafood market now and buy more big crabs and lobsters."
