I made a sound of agreement and hung up the phone.
Then, I called my grandma.
Uncle Patrick was the late-born child in our family, and my grandparents value him very much.
There was an elder sister of Uncle Patrick. She married out, and she rarely came back unless it was during the holidays. She used to be closer to my parents.
After my parents passed away, she didn't take care of me either.
I sent her a message, thinking of her cold face, and I was still a little scared.
But I didn't expect that she immediately called me back. She said to me, "Rebecca, I'm on my way home. Remember, if they want you to drop out of school and take care of your uncle, you must refuse, understand? I will arrange the rest for you."
I didn't understand why she made such a serious promise.
Having Auntie Iris as a backer was obviously better for me to act now.
After all, she said not to let me drop out of school.
In my previous life, I was full of love. I thought Uncle Patrick worked hard to raise me. Without hesitation, I agreed to take care of him and drop out of school. I remembered that Auntie Iris hurried back at that time, but I was determined to filial piety to Uncle Patrick.
At that time, I didn't have much good impression of Auntie Iris. My grandparents always said that she got married and forgot them.
Now, I felt that there was something in it that I didn't know.
But now was not a good time to know the answer. I had more important things to deal with.
When I returned home, Uncle Patrick had already come out of the operating room, and my grandparents were also there.
The doctor gave the same statement as in the previous life, paralysis, and bedridden.
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, my aunt and a few others stared at me, "Rebecca, look at your uncle's situation. I still need to work and take care of Nina. Otherwise, you can drop out of school. Anyway, you have already gone to college, and it will be easy to find a job later. Your uncle's situation can't afford to delay."
