"How is that possible? I came back to make her repent to you! I will destroy everything she has! I will always be by your side."
"Indeed, Richard not only hates me for my heartlessness but also hates me for hurting his first love. How could we reconcile and be as good as before?"
"If he knew that I was dead, he would probably celebrate it with a party, right?"
For a whole week, Richard had been inquiring for news about me everywhere, only to get nothing. He wanted to torture my family members to force me to show up.
Decisively, he found someone to smash my father's ward. He looked around. It was like the information he got. There was no trace of me.
"Kate is heartless to the extreme, not caring about her biological father, who is about to die! It seems that she will only beg for mercy after I cut off her father's other leg!"
My mother stared at the madman in front of her with red eyes, struggling to get up and coughing incessantly.
"You heartless person! Kate treated you so well back then! She begged us to pay your tuition fees and sent you abroad. She... she won't see you!"
My mother held back her words and trembled with tears.
"I know she doesn't want to mention my death for fear of causing secondary harm to me."
But Richard didn't care about my mother's change at all. He became angrier upon learning about his miserable past. He instantly pulled my mother up.
"Don't think that being emotional with me will work! Even though you gave me alms, so what?"
He pulled off my mother's oxygen tube. Suffocating, my mother tried to regain her life-saving straw, but she couldn't reach it no matter how hard she tried. As she bent her body, her eyes almost popped out.
"Don't you look down on me in your heart? She relied on the fact that I had no money back then. She has been oppressing me with a little benefit. Now that I have everything. You still have a high and mighty look!"
Richard gritted his teeth.
The past seemed to be a shackle that had been bothering him. He kicked the oxygen machine aside without hesitation.
"I know that he still cares about the fact that I begged my parents to help him with his tuition fees back then."
He was at the top of his class in college, but his parents died. He couldn't pay the tuition fees all at once.
When I took the money from my father, he overheard my father's suspicion of him unexpectedly.
