Daisy chuckled and asked, “Grace, something has happened at home recently. I’m a little tight on money. Send some more money home.”
This time, Daisy said that something had happened at home, not because of Carson’s hospital fees.
Grace frowned and asked worriedly. “What’s the matter?”
“It’s…it’s just that there’s a distant relative. You don’t know him. He has cancer and is trying to borrow money from us. He borrowed all the money… now our family…”
Daisy stuttered on the phone for a long time. It was obvious that she was making up an excuse.
Grace pinched her eyebrows and interrupted her. “Mom, which distant relative? What’s his name? Our family is in a mess, and you’re still lending money to others?”
Daisy paused for a moment. “But I have to help him. He looks so pitiful. Don’t you think so?”
Grace sighed silently. ‘Alright, I won’t expose her lie. Even if she really lent the money, it would only be four thousand to six thousand dollars at most. Our family does not have that much money to begin with, Grace thought.
“Alright, tell me how much you lent.”
“Twenty–four thousand dollars,” Daisy said tentatively.
She said it very softly. This number stunned Grace.
After a while, Grace questioned coldly. “Where did our family get twenty–four thousand dollars to lend to others? We can’t even take out five thousand dollars from our savings, so where did we get twenty–
four thousand dollars?”
When Daisy heard her cold voice, Daisy was afraid that she would not pay, so Daisy acted shamelessly on the phone. “Our family can’t afford so much, so I borrowed twenty thousand dollars from someone else! Now that I owe him, I can’t not pay
him back!”
Grace took a deep breath. ‘Don’t I know my own mother? Even if she was held at knifepoint, she would not lend money to others! She had definitely gambled again. Now, the gamble was getting bigger and bigger! She had lost more than twenty thousand dollars” Grace thought.
“You’re still lying to me!”
“Who said I lied? Hurry up and transfer the money to me! I know you have money!”
Grace felt a chill in her heart. She said coldly, “I don’t have it!” All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
“How could you not have it? You’re with Brian and living the good life, while your father and I are laboring in the fields. While
I you’re having a good time, you ignore us. You heartless thing!”
“Mom, do you know what kind of life I’m living in the Francis family? You think I’m here to be a rich wife, but do you know that I’m living as a maid? I’m even…
Grace stopped talking.

“Forget it. Since I was a child, you haven’t cared if I’m doing well or not. The contract will expire in a few days. Once I get the money, we’ll return what you borrowed,”
When Daisy heard Grace’s words, she remembered that the three years were almost up. Her eyes darted around as she calculated the estimated cost of Carson’s surgery and treatment.
‘There will still be some money left after the surgery, but I want to use that money to buy another house! How could there be any left? Besides, I owe the loan sharks money. By the time the contract expires, I will have to pay more interest! Daisy thought.
“Grace! Don’t hang up yet!”
Grace massaged her temples. “What else do you want?”
“Brian hasn’t fallen for you in the past three years?”
Grace remained silent.
Daisy sneered. “That’s true. With your looks, how can Brian fall for you? You haven’t captured his heart in three years. You’re also a good–for–nothing!”
