Remy rang the bell. A nurse came. Laura was taken to the operating room.
When she came out, she had tubes all over her body. Even anesthetized, she was still calling my name. My dad patted Remy on the back excitedly.
“Your mom is trying to tell you Grace must still have money in her card.” Remy’s eyes lit up. He took a cab to my home immediately.
When Laura came around again, Remy wasn’t there. Her eyes dripped with disappointment.
She told my dad she wanted water, but he sternly said no.
“Drop your act. Grace had the same disease. Her life was hardly affected. Why can’t you even get water yourself?”
Laura was reduced to silence.
She lowered her head and looked at her empty hand.
After I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, I came to the hospital for chemotherapy alone every time.
Finally, one day, I couldn’t take it anymore and called Laura. She irritably refused to come and said I was too spoiled.
“Do I have to teach you how to get water? Lift your hand, and there, the water is out.” Laura had been harsh on the video chat, totally

ignoring my swollen face.
Now, she was the one said to be spoiled, and she wasn’t happy
about it.
Lying in bed, she wept. My dad wouldn’t compromise. When Remy came back empty–handed, she finally could have some water.
In this hospital, many doctors had treated me. When they knew Laura was my mom, they paid special attention to her.
“Grace was the toughest girl I’ve seen. She went through chemo all alone. To save money, she didn’t hire a caretaker.”
The doctor couldn’t help feeling sorry for me.
Lying there, Laura seemed absentminded. I wondered if it was the disease.
“Grace must’ve saved a lot. Why isn’t there money in her bank. card?” Remy sneered.
“Don’t you feel guilty at all to take your sister’s money?” Laura suddenly asked. Remy touched his nose awkwardly.
“Mom, don’t blame me. Didn’t you also take her money?
“Besides, you offered to give me the money, telling me to have fun. Why is it my fault?” Laura was dumbstruck.
She shook her head and didn’t speak.
I sent Laura a long message when I transferred the money to her, but she didn’t reply.
She had received the money instantly.
The last connection between my mom and me was that transfer
Not wanting to talk to her disappointing husband and son, Laura took out her phone to borrow money from someone else. Then, again, she saw the message I had sent her.
Only now did I know on her contacts, she had remarked me with my full name.
On the other hand, she had remarked Remy as her “Baby” and pinned him on top.
After a pause, Laura clicked on my message.
Remy looked at Laura and saw the transfer record. He snatched her phone away at once. “Mom, when did Grace transfer so much money to you? Why did you keep it from Dad and me? With that, he opened Laura’s digital purse.
Laura suddenly sat up and smacked Remy. I was frightened.
If my memory served me correctly, this was the first time Laura had hit Remy. Remy was stunned, agape. “Mom, you hit me.”
Laura ignored him. She gently clicked on my profile photo and touched it, her eyes reddening. “What? Can’t I?
“Are you so precious? Grace did everything on her own. Still, she worked hard to make money.” Remy was surprised to hear Laura’s stern remarks.
“Mom, what’s wrong with you? You gave Grace’s money to me. And you forced her to marry Antonio. How can you blame me for

everything?”
Remy had always been doted on. He didn’t take Laura’s scolding well.
My dad also took Remy’s side. “She’s dead. Don’t mention that jinx anymore.” Laura was enraged.
“Jinx? Jinx? I carried her in my womb for nine months. I gave birth to her. Why can’t you accept her…” Before Laura could finish speaking, my dad slapped her.
“You said yourself that if it weren’t for her, you wouldn’t have had the hemorrhage. As you wish, she’s dead now. What else do you want?”
“…”
The furious Laura cooled down.
She had forgotten the things she had done to me.
She only thought of me and defended me when she needed me.
But now, I was dead.
The fight was over, and the three gave each other the silent treatment. I was heartbroken.
Laura only thought of me when she needed me.
She was severely ill. The medical bill was huge every day. Gradually, my family was strapped for cash.
One night, when Laura was in the bathroom, my dad pulled Remy
at his sleeve.
“Tell me honestly. Do you have money or not?” Remy shook his
head.
My dad clenched his teeth and made up his mind. “Well, let’s give up on your mom’s treatment. I can marry someone else. Then, we’ll have money again.”
