Helen was aware of my incoming postgraduate entrance exam. She took the responsibility to take care of Thomas and asked me to return to school.
But I refused. I wouldn't waste such a good chance to stay and win a good reputation.
In my previous life, I failed the postgraduate entrance examination because I had to take care of Thomas and didn't have time to study. Failure to be a graduate student was my biggest regret in my previous life.
I wanted my life to return to normal.
It was not until the evening that Alex showed up in Thomas's ward.
Helen and John were afraid that Thomas couldn't accept the fact that he had lost both his legs, and kept the result of the operation from him.
Seeing Alex coming over, Helen flared up.
"Alex! You finally remember that you have a father, huh!"
Alex scratched his head and felt embarrassed. "Aunt Helen, the client is too difficult to deal with. I've been so busy that I haven't slept for two days."
Helen raised her eyebrows and scolded, "Alex, thank you for your hard work. You're so hardworking that you could forget about your father."
Helen knew why Alex hadn't slept for two days, so she looked at him with disdain.
Helen believed in Buddhism and hated people who lied the most. She also disliked those who wallowed themselves in love and sex.
Thomas, who didn't know the truth, had just woken up. When he heard that his precious son was scolded by Helen, he immediately spoke up for Alex.
"Helen, why are you talking to the child in such a strange way? If you don't know how to speak properly, just shut it."
Thomas then turned to Alex. "Alex, I'm fine. I just fell. Don't listen to your aunt’s babble. Which client was it? Look at your dark circles. Go back and catch up on sleep!"
I instantly understood why, in my previous life, Thomas changed his will after he knew of Alex's return.
Alex was the only son of the Leonard family. Thomas would tolerate everything Alex did.
This was the privilege of being the only male descendant of the family.
Although I have the blood of Leonards, to Thomas, I was still an outsider.
Therefore, in my previous life, I was a fool. I deserved to be treated so unfairly.
Having her kindness regarded as malice, Helen became more furious and wanted to tell the truth.
"Thomas, do you know that Alex..."
However, John sternly stopped his wife, asking her to keep her mouth shut.
