Chapter 2

Lisbeth wiped off her snot and saliva and directly smeared them on the floor.

"Ah!" I suddenly covered my ears and screamed.

Lisbeth was stunned for a moment.

I also sat on the floor and started crying, my voice louder than hers.

"Lisbeth, please be kind to my mom, even just a little bit. She's already so old. Please don't make things difficult for her!"

In the end, the doctor rushed over and told us to go home. He told us that my dad might not be able to make it.

When I heard this, I almost collapsed, feeling endless sorrow swirling in my heart.

Tears flowed out my eyes instantly.

When we got out of the hospital, Lisbeth fiercely shot a glare at me.

My intuition told me that after my dad died, the pretended harmony between Lisbeth and me would no longer exist.

So, I glared back at Lisbeth.

As soon as we got home, Lisbeth started rummaging around.

But I didn't pay much attention to her.

Suddenly, Lamont seemed to have a sudden recovery. He opened his eyes and looked a little more energetic.

But this wasn't a good thing actually. Ralph held Lamont's hand.

"Dad, could you please tell us the password of your bank card? Otherwise, it'll be troublesome for us in the future."

Lamont's hand shook, and Ralph quickly fetched a pen and paper.

I didn't intend to look at the password. I just accidentally took a step forward. But Ralph immediately covered the paper, preventing me from seeing it.

"Ralph, what do you mean by this?" I questioned him incredulously.

To be honest, I was not short of money.

But Ralph's attitude chilled my heart. After all, Alfred had helped him a lot over the past few years.

But now, Ralph was actually treating me like an outsider!

I couldn't help wondering, Has he been pretending to be nice to me all these years?

Just then, I heard my mom and Lisbeth having a fight.

We hurried over.

Then, I saw Lisbeth holding a one-million-dollar check.

Mom wanted to snatch the check over, but Lisbeth resolutely refused to give it.

When Ralph saw it, his eyes lit up.

I was also shocked.

I knew that my parents had some money, but I didn't expect them to have one million dollars.

Both my parents were retired teachers, and their pension was almost 10 thousand dollars a month.

But they always lived frugally.

Even when their TV broke down, instead of buying a new one, they would choose to listen to the radio.

It was me who couldn't bear it at that time and bought them a new TV.

My parents had been thrifty for almost all their lives, and I still couldn't understand it.

Lisbeth snapped, "Look what I've found! You don't have money? Then what is this?"

It was the first time Lisbeth had seen a check for such a large amount, and she was a little bit excited now.

My mom shouted at Lisbeth, "Well, the money will be yours after I die. But now, I am still alive!"

It was the first time I'd seen my mom so angry.

Dad was yowling in the room, unable to utter a word.

Suddenly, we heard a loud bang.

We hurried to my dad's room, only to find that he had fallen to the floor.

Ralph hurriedly helped Lamont up, reaching out to feel Lamont's breath with his hand trembling.

Then, Ralph froze in place.

The next second, he started to wail.

"Dad..."

Lamont died from the tumble.

And we didn't even get to say a word to him before he died.

At this moment, my hatred towards Lisbeth reached its peak.

She had crossed my bottom line.

I was really at the end of my patience.

I pushed Lisbeth hard.

And I yelled at her, "My dad is dead. Are you happy now? How about we sell this house and give the money to you too, huh?"

Shamelessly, Lisbeth said, "Okay. Since you said so, don't change your mind later."

I didn't intend to be kind to her anymore.

So, I said to her, "Listen, according to the law, I'll get a share of your family's two houses and that one million dollars.

Lisbeth got unhappy when she heard this.

And she shouted, "No way! It's already lucky enough for you to attend school back then. Now you still want the family's property? Don't be so shameless, okay? Don't think I don't know. When Dad was in the hospital, he definitely gave you money. Otherwise, how could you be willing to take care of him at that time?"

Lisbeth kept bringing up this matter, sounding like I would only take care of my own parents only when I could get money from it.

I really wanted to ask Lisbeth if this was how she treated her own parents.
