followed us.
Richie did not say anything and watched us
leave like we were jokes.
We smiled at each other when we were in the
car.
He rubbed the wheelchair and nodded.

After the company was bought by Richie, we
were kicked out.
River’s funeral was not big.
Summer was living on the bed.
Dad wanted to ask Mom for money to take
care of Summer, but Mom refused.
Dad started yelling. “I never thought you were
so heartless. Summer is your niece! How can
you watch her turn into a cripple?”
Mom slapped him in the face.
“I never thought you were so gross. You were

having an affair with my sister before you
even asked me to marry you!”
“Wh–what are you talking about?”
Dad’s face showed that he was lying, but he
was angry.
He was going to hit Mom, but Rich Jr. grabbed his wrist.
Mom coldly said, “I see. You have guts. Take
your daughter and that cripple, and get out of here!”
“Go ahead! We never wanted to be with you
two!”

Mom grabbed my hand and went to the door.
Dad angrily threatened, “Get lost and never
come back!”
Mom ignored him and slammed the door to
respond.
After leaving, I was going to get a hotel, but
Rich Jr. grabbed my phone.
He took us to a fancy car.
The black car drove away and stopped by an alley.
Rich Jr. took us into a square vard

I saw this place on the internet. It was worth a
lot of money.
I was in shock. “This… this is yours?”
Rich Jr. grinned. “It will be yours too.”
I looked away, and Mom smiled.
Rich Jr. had a good place, so he must have
good power.
After we left, Dad had no choice, so he went
to work at a construction site. He was going
to earn money to take care of Summer.
At the restaurant across the street, Mom and
I were enjoying the food, looking at Dad
working.
Dad had lost weight and the meat was gone.
Later, he disappeared from the construction
site. He had fallen ill.
Mom and I looked at each other. We were
going to see his condition.
We were at the entrance to the building and
saw Dad by the door. His dirty hands were hitting the door, “Summer, my daughter,
please let me in. I have not eaten in days…”
No one opened the door.

Summer did not care.
With his care, Summer was now healthy.
She did not care for him anymore because he
was unable to earn money.
Dad was pale and shaking. He coughed, and
there was blood.
He was not the man he used to be.
Mom’s mouth curled into a smile.
She took out a coin and threw it to Dad.
It hit the ground, catching his attention
Dad looked up and saw Mom smiling.
When Dad saw Mom and me, he changed his
expression and started crying. “Wife, I was
wrong. Help me.”
He was crawling and wanted to grab Mom’s
shirt.
Mom kicked him in the chest with her heel.
Dad coughed blood.
He did not give up and said, “Wife, if you will
not forgive me, it is okay, but Summer is my
daughter. I do not have long, so I hope you
can take care of her.”
Mom and I started laughing.
In Dad’s shame, Rich Jr. threw an old man in
front of him.
When he saw the healthy legs, Dad’s eyes
widened. “You…you are not a cripple?”
I gave him a smack. “Do not curse my
husband.”
Rich Jr. smiled.
Dad did not say anything and focused on the
old man.

Rich Jr. was holding the old man, bringing
him to Dad.
Dad was happy. “Joe? What are you doing
here?”
“Please help me. I helped you before.”
But Joe did not speak.
Dad was worried, and Rich Jr. took out a file
and threw it at Dad.
It was a DNA test. Summer and Joe were
99.99%.
Dad did not believe it.

He shook his head. “No! It can’t be! You guys
are trying to trick me!”
Mom laughed, “Tricking you? Look at Joe. Do
you think we are making this up?”
“Your daughter has known that you are not
her dad, so she threw you away.”
Dad was still and stunned.
Joe was his driver and had an affair with his
wife.
Dad was so angry, and he tried to hit Joe.
Joe knew that he would die, so he fought

back.
Dad was covered in bruises.
Dad collapsed, and Joe ran.
Mom walked over.
She handed over the divorce papers.
“Sign it. I do not want ‘widowed‘ on my
record.” Mom coldly said.
She was cursing Dad to die soon.
I have become what I used to hate.

Just kidding.
