Phil had been living without his parents since childhood, and they rarely saw each other. Therefore, he had little affection for his parents. A few years ago, the old Mrs. Henderson was ill and Phil tried many times to call his parents, Trevon and Cara, to come back and spend more time with the old Mrs. Henderson. However, they turned his request down and kept burying themselves in the so-called career. Since then, Phil had been resentful of them.

In his opinion, money was far less important than the lives and health of his beloved ones.

Besides, at that time, Trevon and Cara had achieved great success in their career. With a great career, they were not short of money. Busy working was just their excuse.

Phil had been successful in his business, too. Even if Trevon and Cara left behind all their careers abroad and went back penniless, Phil could let his parents continue to live a good life.

Phil believed that they were just unwilling to come back and accompany the old lady.

Whenever Phil showed his hatred towards his parents, the old Mrs. Henderson, lying on the hospital bed, enlightened him each time. She said that Trevon and Cara had been living abroad since they got married, and Cara had seldom spent time with her, so they must have felt awkward and uncomfortable coming back and staying with her. Although the old Mrs. Henderson comforted him with these words, her unconscious dismay that her face betrayed severely hurt Phil.

The old Mrs. Henderson lived a pretty bitter life. Her husband, Phil’s grandfather, passed away young, and so the old Mrs. Henderson raised Trevon, Phil’s father, alone, and finally sent him to study abroad.

Later, the old Mrs. Henderson brought up her grandson, Phil.

To Trevon, she had done her utmost.

But her selfless dedication was not rewarded by seeing her son on her deathbed.

Phil knew, it was all Cara’s fault that Trevon failed to go back for a final glimpse of his mother.

At the very beginning, the old Mrs. Henderson disliked Cara and slightly objected to their marriage, because she thought Cara cared too much about fame and success and her son could not handle such a strong, powerful woman.
