Chapter 1

Isabel Watson’s expression seemed to be getting colder, but her words made Oliver Eastwood freeze all over.

“Oliver, don’t waste your time on me. I know I’ve let you down. You’re a good person, but kindness doesn’t put food on the table. I want to eat well and dress well. I want to live in a big mansion and drive a luxury car. I don’t think you’ll ever be able to give me those in this lifetime!”

Oliver’s lips twitched, but he was still unable to utter a word.

Isabel’s words, again, sliced through him like a knife. “I know you’ll say that you’ll work hard to make me happy, but happiness can’t be achieved with just a few words. I’ll tell you the truth. I have a new boyfriend. He bought me a BMW worth 100 thousand dollars. I’m about to get married, so please don’t ruin my happiness. That’s all I have to say. I’m leaving.”

Isabel walked out of sight, and Oliver remained standing there, dumbfounded.

He was heartbroken.

Isabel was his high school classmate, and they were in a relationship for five years. He had given her everything, but in the end, she chose money over their relationship.

After standing there rooted to his spot for a while, he felt as though his legs were as heavy as lead.

Oliver was lost, his mind completely blank. He couldn’t even remember where he was supposed to go.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

Taking out his phone, Oliver saw his mother’s name on the screen and quickly answered.

His mother’s anxious and panicked cries immediately sounded on the phone. “Oliver, your father… What am I going to do?”

Oliver shuddered and immediately asked, “Mom, calm down. What happened to Dad?”

His mother burst into tears. “Oliver, your father couldn’t urinate this morning, and there was blood in his urine as well, so we went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor just gave us the results and said that it’s… it’s uremia. Your father needs immediate surgery, or else… Oliver, if anything happens to your father, I don’t want to live anymore!”

“Nothing is going to happen to Dad,” Oliver comforted his mother, not knowing what else to say. “Mom, don’t worry. Medical technology is so advanced now. He can definitely be treated.”

His mother added, “Oliver, the doctor said your father’s condition was discovered relatively early, so there’s still hope for him as long as he receives treatment early. However… the medical expenses are very high. We don’t have that sort of money.”
