My Uncle's Inheritance

When I returned home, Uncle Patrick had already come out of the operating room, and my grandparents were also there.

The doctor gave the same statement as in the previous life, paralysis, and bedridden.

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, my aunt and a few others stared at me, "Rebecca, look at your uncle's situation. I still need to work and take care of Nina. Otherwise, you can drop out of school. Anyway, you have already gone to college, and it will be easy to find a job later. Your uncle's situation can't afford to delay."

"Auntie, don't blame me for speaking bluntly. In these years, I have given all my scholarships to my family. I am not a freeloader. According to reason, I must take care of you when you are sick. But dropping out of school is excessive. Moreover, I remember that Uncle's construction site is insured, and there will be compensation at that time. My university mentor will take me on a project soon. Even if I am just a small student, I can still get tens of thousands. What do you think, who is more suitable to take care of Uncle, me or you? Maybe, Uncle will have insurance compensation. We might as well hire a nanny to take care of Uncle first. I am a girl, and it is not convenient for me to take care of Uncle. What do you think?

After I finished speaking, my aunt and the others had already changed their faces.

But I had made up my mind in this life not to be manipulated by their gratitude for raising me, especially not to drop out of school. Otherwise, the tragedy of the previous generation would repeat itself.

Aunt never expected that I would resist and said, "Rebecca, you are selfish. When your mother died and your uncle wanted to adopt you, I disagreed. Now, your uncle is in such difficulty, and you don't even want to take care of him. How did we raise such an ungrateful person like you?"

As she spoke, she slapped herself and burst into tears, even falling down beside Uncle Patrick's sickbed and saying, "Look at what you have done. Now people can see clearly that you have worked for nothing."

Uncle Patrick was also a person who could act. As soon as he woke up, his voice became wooden, "I just wanted... to be worthy of my sister, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect to be an... an ungrateful person."

He said with a sense of grievance, and the other patients in the same ward started whispering.

Most of them were condemning me. I sneered silently. They had used this moral kidnapping many times in their previous lives.

But because I had illusions about them, I always softened before.

Just when my aunt thought she had the upper hand, I suddenly heard a cold voice interrupting, "Who dares to make Rebecca drop out of school?"

I turned around and saw Auntie Iris rushing over in a hurry.

She was dusty all the way, and her delicate hair was blown messy by the wind.

But she didn't care, just casually tidied up and continued to say to Uncle's family, "After so many years, is it not enough for you to make Rebecca work like a horse? You even want her to drop out of school? Don't you feel guilty?"

I didn't know if it was because of Auntie Iris' aura, but I suddenly felt that Uncle's family and my grandparents all had guilty expressions.

But Auntie Iris didn't stop there. She looked at me and asked, "Rebecca, you have come back, what about Nina? Doesn't she know that her dad had an accident?"

I shook my head, "Auntie Iris, I'm not sure either. Before I came back, Aunt said she would call her, but I haven't seen Nina yet."

Auntie Iris immediately became unhappy.

"She's already grown up. Her own father is like this, but she doesn't show any concern. What does that mean? Isn't she always boasting about how much she loves her family?"

After she finished speaking, I immediately took out my phone and wanted to call Nina.

I saw an update on Instagram, showing her boyfriend celebrating her birthday.

Auntie Iris got angry right away. Before Aunt could react, she used my phone to call Nina.

On the other end, a very impatient voice said, "Rebecca, my mom told you to drop out of school and take care of my dad. Do you have time to call me?"
