“That’s right. When my wife was heavily ill back then, her biggest wish was to see her son one last time. And where was he? It was Justin who stayed by her side.”
My sister let out a cold snort. “After everything we’ve done for him, he still turned out to be an ungrateful brat.”
No...
That’s not true...
I shook my head, tears welling in my eyes.
Mother, on the day your life was in danger, I didn’t even know.
Justin sent me a message from Isabel’s phone saying you were fine. That’s why I went to celebrate my friend’s birthday that day.
A sigh escaped my lips.
Justin spoke softly, almost sounding hurt. “Nathan always hated me, I know that. I’ll move out, so he can come back. Don’t worry, I’ll never bother him again.”
“Wait!” My mother stopped him and then she turned to look at Walter.
“Winona is right. In this family, the son-in-law matters more than the real son. If he won’t come back today, then he’s no longer a part of this family.”
Pain pierced through my chest.
I pressed my hand over my empty chest and clenched my teeth.
Don’t worry. I already stopped wanting to be part of this family.
I wrote it before I died, didn’t I?
In my next life, I will never be part of the Miller Family again.
