I opened my eyes and took the phone, and I heard him say, “Your sister will

be picking you up later.” He continued, “Come home early after visiting your

father. Don’t talk too much to your sister. I’m busy today, so I won’t be coming

back.”

I answered, “Okay.” He emphasized it by saying, “It’s related to work.” I

remained silent. “Remember to feed Vivi,” he continued to nag, “but just in

moderation; don’t feed it too much water too.” I muttered, “It is not Vivi!” He

replied, “Indeed, you’re crying!” He sounded relaxed and somewhat gentle,

and he said, “No wonder you’re not talking.” I answered, “No, something’s

wrong with my throat. In fact, I’m happy.” He was laughing, and he asked,

“Why?” What’s so funny? I wiped off my tears and said, “I’m happy because

you’re not here… I have freedom for a day.” He instantly hung up the phone.

I was just ready when Anna was here; she did not come up; Mrs. Sullivan sent

me down instead. Anna pretended as if nothing had happened between her

and Mrs. Sullivan, and she happily chatted with her. But her face turned cold

once the car started to move. I tried to talk to her. “Anna, is your injury better?”

“Yes.” The scars on the face were lighter than before; it seemed that she

disliked this topic, so I said, “Thanks for sending Auntie Sidney to help me.” Shel

ignored me.

The hospital was near; we got there in no time. She pulled the car over in the

parking lot, and she lit up a cigarette with the car window open. “You can go

up by yourself.” I asked, “Aren’t you going to?” She answered, “I was there

yesterday.” I was not surprised by her attitude today; my mother passed

away a long time ago. Anna was much older than me; she seemed to be

good at handling people in public, yet she was always stern with me.

I went up to look at my father; he was getting slimmer as his life depended

on the machine. I talked to him for a while, and I made up fun school stories

to tell him. The doctor waved at me at the door, and I walked out of the ward.

We had a casual chat at his office, and he gave me the treatment plans and

the bills. “We diagnosed your father and came up with treatments. One, he

could undergo a surgery that cost five hundred thousand dollars, but the

mortality rate was 30%. Two, just maintain the current treatment, and it costs

more.

Compared to now, 50 hundred thousand dollars were actually not expensive;

the current treatment costs 10 thousand dollars per day. But the 30%

mortality rate was too risky. I asked, “Can my father wake up without

undergoing the surgery?He answered, “It’s all about luck. I hope you can

have a discussion with your sister; she agreed to it yesterday. But, according

to the written document, you’ve got the right to decide. The earlier he

undergoes the surgery, the higher the success rate.”

I arrived at the parking lot and saw Anna happily chatting with a young man.

He was fit and looking good; his clothes were worn out yet tidy and clean.

Anna liked this type of man. They continued to chat and add each other on

social media, and the man left unwillingly.

She rolled up the window and was about to drive. I pressed her hand and

said, “Anna, I knew about what happened.” Her facial expression was cold,

and she remained silent. “I’m not angry.” I knew why she was acting this way,

and I said, “You married him for the sake of our family, and I always enjoyed

the benefits brought by the Nyra Corporation and also your sacrifices. But…

can you please talk to me before making a decision next time?”

She finally looked at me and said, “I’ll pay for the surgery. But if you disagree

with it, you’ll be paying the rest.” I asked, “Why? The mortality rate is too high;

we will regret it for a lifetime if our father’s dead.” She replied, “I won’t. If you’re

worried, just think that the decision was mine. He has always been a strong

and proud man,” she continued. “If you let him choose by himself, he will go

for the surgery too.” I said, “No, this is our father; not any unimportant thing.”

She said, “He has lost his senses; he might never wake up if he missed this

surgery. Do you think that he wants it this way?”

“But our father is only 50 years old. And he’s always healthy; let’s wait and

see if there’s any.” She snapped, “But I don’t have the money!” She continued

to say, “Our stock has been dropping drastically, and I heard that Liam

wanted to sell the corporation at a low price. He is on it already. There’s

nothing else that I can do at the moment.”

I was shocked and asked, “Why would he do this?” She sneered, “Why? Don’t

you see it now? The Nyra Corporation is useless to him now! Judging from

the situation, the corporation needs at least five more years to stabilize its

earnings. And now he has to do it in secret because if the world knew that

you gave him the corporation for free, his peaceful days would be over. The

Shaw family might let him go, but the public won’t!” Anna snorted, “It’s

impossible for Ms. Shaw to have waited for him that long, so now is the

perfect timing for him to sell the corporation. “After all, her family will give him

a lot of benefits.”

Anna knew more than me, and her news should be accurate. I asked, “Then

what can you do now? Why would changing the person in charge of the Nyra

Corporation help?”

“The corporation was gifted to Liam because I had no choice back then. If he

were to sell it now, he must be convincing someone stupid to buy it from him.

And the corporation would only end up in bankruptcy.” She sighed and said,

“So, I must sell my stock before he sells it.” If she did not sell it now, she would

only end up in debt. I said, “Let me talk about him.”

“Dummy, there’s nothing else to say.” She grabbed my shoulders and glared

at me. “The mistress back then was easy to deal with! But Ms. Shaw is on

another level; how dare you try to go against her? Just get a big sum of

money from Liam and get a divorce now! Even if the money is less, that’s

okay too! I can’t be able to help you if anything were to happen to you next

time!”
