Caroline’s weariness was instantly evident as she retrieved her phone and saw her father’s call.

Suppressing the pain in her ankle, she hurriedly left the kitchen to answer the call.

“Hello,” Caroline’s voice sounded dull.

“Why didn’t you call me, Carol?” Bradley asked

Caroline replied, “You added my number to your blacklist because you were afraid someone would trace you through me. Did you forget?”

Bradley let out an awkward laugh. “Yes, I forgot. Never mind. Where are you now?”

“I’m working overtime,” Caroline responded

Bradley commented, “Ah, working overtime is good. You can earn more. Carol, do you have any money now?”

Caroline tightened her grip on the glass in her hand. Did he care about nothing besides money? Had he forgotten so quickly that he left her alone at the casino the other day?

“I don’t. I used all my money to repay your debt!” Caroline’s voice turned harsh.

“Even if you have a few dollars, it’s fine. Don’t you have anything? Bradley grew anxious.

Bitterness welled up in her heart. “Dad, are you trying to push me to a desperate end? You never paid for Mom’s medical expenses, and I even repaid your debt. What more do you want?”

“Why are you saying that? I raised you. So what if I use some of your money?” Bradley retorted.

A brief sniff escaped her before she suppressed her emotions and explained, “I don’t have any money. Just wait until next month.”

“No!” He angrily interrupted. “I want the money now. If you don’t give it to me, you’re ungrateful!”

“Do you want to gamble again? Haven’t you learned your lesson from the other day?” Caroline trembled with anger.
