My brother hesitated, "But you still need money for treatment..."
"That can't include selling the house! There's your sister, and then there's your uncle and aunt. They won't stand by and do nothing!"
"..."
Even though I knew of my mother's favoritism, hearing it firsthand still hurt.
My uncle and aunt exchanged looks.
I took the opportunity to cry out, "Uncle, aunt, I'm not afraid of your scolding, but I've already listed our house with a broker. My mom's illness is like a bottomless pit. Without selling the house, we'd only be left borrowing money..."
My uncle patted my shoulder, "Gloria, you did right. Your mom is confused, but you can't follow her lead! This Steven is too thoughtless. Uncle is the eldest male relative, and your dad's gone. I'll take charge of this!"
With that, they pushed open the hospital room door and walked straight in.
My mom and Steven looked puzzled when we suddenly appeared. Emma unconsciously leaned closer to Steven.
Seeing Emma's shy face, I felt nothing but disgust.
In my previous life, Steven pressured me to hand over the gold jewelry my mother had given me. When I refused, the two of them played a cruel trick on me.
