My Parents Neglected Me Until I Died Novel by yueji

A bone marrow transplant? No wonder Tom refused to give me any money when I asked him. I recalled the bone marrow that had been taken from me, and the thought made me sway on my feet, almost losing my balance.

Across the room, Betty was already holding Julie, crying.

“Jessica, I know you’re angry that Tom has been spending time with me and Julie, but we are really just friends. I even tried to persuade him to repay you once the project funds came through, but it was his love for Julie that made him insist on this.”

“If you have any complaints, take them out on me. Please don’t curse my daughter!”

Though Betty was begging with her words, her expression, out of Tom’s sight, was filled with defiance.

Remembering why I had come, I stormed over to Julie’s bedside, yanking a handful of her hair roughly.

Thinking of how Monica’s death might be linked to this mother–daughter pair, I slapped them both with all my strength.

“Two vile women!”

“Tom and I aren’t even divorced yet, and the money used to save Julie is from our joint. marital property! You owe me that, and now you just owe even more!”

Betty, who always claimed to be tough, was now weeping uncontrollably, her tears ruining her once–perfect makeup.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Tom couldn’t take it anymore. He stepped forward and yanked me away by my hair.

“Have you lost your mind? I must have been blind to marry a shrew like you! If I hadn’t been seduced by you back then, maybe Betty and I would have already…”

Tom finally revealed the truth. After falling out of love, he regretted the marriage but still blamed me for it all.

He must have forgotten how he had pursued me relentlessly, despite my parents‘ objections, in a sea of other suitors who were far better than him. It was me who defied all opposition to marry him.

Tom threw me out of the hospital room, and my back slammed hard against the floor, just after I had undergone the bone marrow biopsy. The pain made my whole body tremble.

“Stop pretending! You lied to me about Monica’s death when Julie was kidnapped, and wouldn’t let her answer my calls.. And now, you’re putting on this act just to upset Julie after her surgery. Jessica, what has happened to you?”

“Julie only had surgery, but you–you cost your wife and your own daughter their lives because of it!”

People in the hallway began to stare, and as Tom noticed the growing attention, his face darkened with embarrassment. Furious, he kicked me again just as I struggled to get up.

My back slammed hard against the chair, and the sharp pain nearly caused me to lose consciousness.

Just then, the female officer who had arrived from work witnessed the entire incident. She rushed forward to help me up. “Who is he? I’ll take him to the station right now!”

“He’s my husband.”

The officer looked at Tom with disbelief in her eyes. “You’re the father of the little girl who passed away?”
