After I Won the Lottery, My Ex-wife Begged Me For Forgiveness

I didn't send her any money after I received my salary this time.

That night, she called me.

"Cornel Silva, where is your salary? Are you planning to give it to another woman outside?"

I laughed angrily. She was the one who cheated, but now she was turning the tables on me.

I held back my anger, thinking about the phone call my mom just made.

She said on the phone that my dad had been feeling uncomfortable with his heart for a long time, and the local hospital suggested going to a higher-level hospital for examination.

How much of a failure was I? For these past few years, I had been focused on Heidi, and I didn't even know that my father wasn't feeling well.

With a last glimmer of hope, I told Heidi.

"My dad isn't feeling well and needs to go to a big hospital for examination. I won't give you the money for now."

Heidi exploded with anger.

"What does it have to do with me if your dad is not feeling well? It's not my fault. Don't forget that you are my man and you should support me. If you don't give me money, I will have to go hungry."

My last glimmer of hope was shattered.

It was not until now that I truly saw what kind of person Heidi was.

Since we got married, my parents often bought her gifts, gave her money, and even cooked delicious food for her.

Every time I went home, I would clean the house, just to make her less tired.

Before leaving, I would purchase the daily necessities and make a few dishes in advance, so that she could heat them up when she wanted to eat.

Heidi enjoyed all the efforts of our family, but had never bought anything for me or my parents.

Every time we went to her parents' house, she would almost fill a car with gifts.

Despite this, she still complained that I seldom accompanied her home enough, which made others laugh at us.

Last year, when her father got sick, I took a week off to take care of him. Later, when the company urged me to go back to work, my dad took over and helped take care of him for half a month. Their family only said a simple thank you.

Now, when she heard that my dad was sick, this was her reaction.

I finally sobered up.

I hung up the phone and went to the hospital with my elderly father.

The test results would not be available until three days later.

These days, I had been accompanying my parents to go around.

Looking at their aging faces and facing my mother's subtle inquiries about whether I should go for another check-up to see if I could be cured, I was so heartbroken that I almost shed tears. They wanted to have grandchildren.

During the surgery, the doctor told me that even if Heidi got better, she couldn't have children.

I kept it from her and told her that the surgery was very successful.

But I told my parents that it was my problem.

I was afraid they would urge Heidi and make her feel guilty.

Thinking of this, I solemnly said to my mother, "Since that, you have to take good care of yourselves. Once I'm cured, I'll bring you a grandchild in a couple of years."

My mother was instantly overjoyed.

My father, who rarely smiled, also had a hint of a smile on his face.

Three days later, the test results came out. It was early heart attack.

The good news was that it could be completely cured through surgery.

I immediately took a long leave and arranged for my father to be hospitalized.

My mother said she would take care of my father and told me not to bother, but I insisted on accompanying them.

I burst into tears of joy when I saw my elderly father come out of the successful surgery.

My dad even made fun of me, saying that I was scared by such a small surgery.

After a few days of recovery, my father finally got discharged.

When I was taking them home, I ran into Heidi.

She was furious and didn't even ask how my dad's illness was. She just yelled at me.

"Cornel, are you still a man? You have ignored me for the past few days. You must be disgusted with me because I can't make money..."

As she spoke, she started crying on the road.

My mom tried to pull her up, but she pushed her away.

Soon, a crowd gathered to watch the commotion.

The suppressed anger finally surged up again.
