“Get lost. I don’t want to see you.”

In his weakened state, Steven still managed to cast cruel words toward me.

I was stunned momentarily as I thought he was the only one who would treat me fairly. Turns out, he was exactly the same as my other family members.

“Steven, I know you’re in a bad mood after your operation. But don’t worry. I’ll take good care of you.”

I responded to him with a faint smile as I tried to comfort myself that he only treated me like this because of his pain.

Even though we used to argue all the time, he was a patient right now, so I decided to look past his temper.

“I ask you to get lost! Didn’t you hear me? My legs almost got crippled because of you! What kind of sister are you? Useless wench!”

He stared at me, his eyes filled with resentment.

I froze on the spot, suddenly at a loss for words.

What else can I say at this point to lessen their resentment toward me? How did things end up like this?

“Steven, it’s not like what you think. If I had the money, there’s no way I wouldn’t have helped you. But I really didn’t have the money back then. My heart ached too, you know, seeing you hurt like this.”

Looking at his legs that were wrapped in a layer of thick plaster, tears started welling up in my eyes once again.

“Stop pretending. You never liked me. I guess you’re happy now to see me like this! It’ll be all your fault if I become a cripple!”

His face was pale and his voice was weak, but his words were chocked full of hostility, deeply wounding me.

Family should be united in times of trouble, but it seemed to me that my family had abandoned me thoroughly.
