Husband's Obsession with Money

My husband, Kyler Ross, controlled every penny. From throwing tantrums over cheap clothes to denying me medicine and begrudging small gifts to my brother Liam, his extreme miserliness ruled my life. I tolerated his abuse, living frugally until leftovers gave me terminal cancer. Even then, Kyler forced me out of the hospital to die in agony. But death wasn't the end. Waking up in the past, I refuse to be his victim again. This time, I am taking back my money, my health, and my freedom.

Chapter 8

More and more people gathered to watch us.

They kept talking.

"What's wrong with this family? If they can't afford the hospital fees, then don't stay!"

"Who knows? They're just making a scene!"

"The doctor's unlucky to have such a patient!"

...

Kyler had a triumphant look on his face.

He shouted much louder.

I stood calmly in the crowd, without feeling embarrassed by the gossip.

I took out my phone and started recording a video.

At first, Kyler didn't understand why I was doing this.

When my camera was aimed at his face, he panicked.

He covered the lens and glared at me.

"What are you doing?"

I looked confused.

"Didn't you ask me to call a complaint hotline?"

He hesitated for a moment before reacting.

"Why do you film me then?"

...

I said matter-of-factly, "I gotta get evidence for a complaint!"

"How can we prove that the hospital is ripping us off without a video?"

Kyler's face turned pale.

More and more people gathered around.

Kyler was really afraid that someone would take a video and post it online.

He had no choice but to give up.

Dora and Kyler came out while cursing.

...

Kyler shouted angrily, "Doctors are all humbugs!"

"Staying in the hospital for a few days will cost hundreds of dollars! They're just ripping us off."

I ignored him, but after we came home, he even wanted me to give him my dowry.

He said eloquently, "Bella! Our family is in trouble now!"

...

"Take out the dowry money to help Mom see a doctor!"
