Back From the Dead: My Revenge Flower

I pretended not to hear anything and asked sincerely.

Actually, I knew what he wanted to say. As long as I could give them money, he didn't care about family ties.

"Nothing. Since you don't come around very often, why not help Emma?"

"Hey, okay, I'll go now."

I was about to wash my hands when the alarm clock went off.

I pretended to answer the phone and hurriedly ran downstairs.

Emma tried to grab me, but I skillfully dodged her.

"What? Why did you call me now when the situation is so serious?"

After getting downstairs, I quickly drove away.

I didn't stop until I reached my own rented apartment, where I pulled out my phone that was on silent mode.

As expected, it was Scott and Emma asking why I had suddenly left.

"Sorry, a depressed girl tried to commit suicide at the hospital and the director asked me to check on her."

As soon as I sent the message, their messages followed.

"What depression? I think all these mental illnesses are just a bunch of whining. Are you trying to be lazy?"

"How could I? I'm just trying to work hard to get a bonus at the end of the month to buy a computer for Mason."

Hearing that, they forgave me "generously".

"Alright. By the way, Mason will take the SAT next week, you'd better book a hotel for us in advance, and you have to personally pick up him and take him to the test venue."

Scott's tone was full of entitlement, as if I was born to be a maid serving him and his son.

I suppressed my hatred and continued to reply.

"Of course, don't worry. I'll make sure to take good care of Mason's matters."

Scott and Emma didn't come to my place unless they had something to ask for.

I thought they would contact me the day before the SAT, but to my surprise, they called me a few days later.

"Kari, come with the money to the Center Hospital immediately. Mason accidentally hit his classmate."

There was no reason or explanation, just a demand for me to bring money.

In their eyes, Mason could have accidentally stabbed someone, let alone hit them.

Although I had no interest in cleaning up after them, I was still looking forward to watching the show.

As soon as I arrived at the hospital, I saw Scott and Emma were sullen and Mason was furious.

When they saw me, they seemed to have found a walking ATM.

They rushed over and warmly wrapped their arms around me, then turned around and looked at the innocent child's parent with a brash expression.

"Isn't it just about money? This is Mason's aunt, a legitimate doctor. Can't we afford to pay for it?"

After she said that, the people who had been angry at Scott and Emma turned to me.

"What do you mean by just about money? Your child hit mine just because my child did well in the exam, don't you owe us an apology?"

At this moment, I finally noticed the boy hiding in the corner. His right arm was in a cast. It was clearly broken.

The boy's mother choked and cried uncontrollably.

"The teachers all said that my son will definitely be a top student at a key university. But now his hand is broken, how can he take the SAT? Your son is intentionally ruining my child."

After the boy's mother finished speaking, the group of people started talking all at once.

After listening carefully for a while, I finally understood what was going on.

Mason failed the exam. Seeing his classmate being praised by the teacher, he became jealous and hit him.

I stared at Mason in disbelief. In the previous life, I thought it was the game that made him lose control of his emotions.

Now it seemed that the violent temper was already ingrained in him.

It would give rise to countless bad fruits.

After listening to their family's accusations, Scott and Emma didn't care at all, with an indifferent expression on their faces.

Emma's arm tightly held onto me, not letting me pull it out.

She knew that this matter couldn't be resolved without a large amount of money.

If we couldn't settle privately, her son would probably have a criminal record.

"Kari, why don't you say something? You're the one who loves Mason the most. Why don't you show any support?

At this moment, the boy's father stood up.

"If you can't compensate for all the losses in our family and cover the miscellaneous fees before my son enters his desired university, your child can expect to go to jail."

"Yes, he's already 18 years old and should take responsibility for his actions."

When the boy's family was demanding that Mason be put in jail, Scott and Emma finally panicked.

They looked at me with panicked eyes, indicating that I should pay the money and apologize.

The angry Mason had also calmed down at this point, looking at me hopefully.

In the eyes of everyone present, I collapsed and crouched down.

"Scott, Emma, it's not that I don't want to pay the money, I really don't have any money left."

I said, throwing my wallet on the ground and having my cards fly out.

I stuffed the cards into Emma's hand.

"Emma, this is all my savings, just 2,000 dollars. It was not much, but it's all I have," I said.

Scott and Emma looked at me in disbelief, and Emma rushed up and frantically shook my shoulders.

"You're so frugal; where is all your money? How could you possibly not have any money? Do you not want my son to do well at all?"

She was making more and more sense, and she slapped me across the face.

I could have dodged it, but I didn't.

I let the people who had been drawn over by the commotion take pictures and videos.
