My Husband's Regret Came After Our Son Died

“Useless brat. Already so big and still afraid of dogs. You made Eva’s Tom get hurt. Why don’t you just die?”

I didn’t know if it was Dwayne who shattered Keanu’s will to live.

That very night, his fever spiked and an intense allergic reaction was followed by transplant rejection.

The hospital immediately issued a critical condition notice.

I knelt outside the emergency room, slapping myself over and over.

Why did I agree to let Keanu come home?

Why didn’t I protect him better?

Just as regret devoured me, the doctor walked up.

“Mrs. Cavill, Keanu’s condition is extremely critical. We need to use an emergency device; each minute costs a hundred thousand dollars. Your account doesn’t have sufficient funds.”

“I’ll pay right now. No matter how much it costs, equipment, medicine, I’ll use everything I have. Please, save my son.”

But when I handed over my card at the payment counter, not a cent went through.

Panicked, I tried several more, none of them worked.

Only then did I realize that my accounts had been frozen.

My mind went completely blank in that instant.

The only person who had the power to freeze my accounts was Dwayne.

“Dwayne, Keanu is in critical condition. Unfreeze my cards. That money is mine. I earned it. It has nothing to do with you.”

“We’re husband and wife. What’s mine is yours, what’s yours is mine. You kicked me and Eva’s dog son; this is your punishment.”

“Dwayne, Keanu is dying, you….”

Before I could finish, he hung up.

The doctor kept urging me.

I redialed Dwayne’s number again and again. He didn’t hang up, but he never picked up either.

I turned to friends for help and tried borrowing money.

One by one, they stammered, hesitated, clearly warned by Dwayne.

Not a single one dared lend me a cent.

Just like that, over thirty minutes slipped by. I was soaked in sweat.

Finally, I thought of someone.

“Jeremy, send me five million. I’ll help you take back the entire Cavill Family.”

“Account number.”

His voice was cold as ever, but behind it was concern I couldn’t ignore.

Less than two minutes later, I heard the notification of a deposit on my empty card.

After paying, I rushed back, only to run into Keanu’s doctor. His voice was heavy with sorrow.

“Mrs. Cavill, we did everything we could. Please accept our condolences.”
