"I'm sorry, Mr. Campbell. Your mother has late-stage liver cancer, and …"When Austin Campbell saw the doctor in front of him shaking his head, he felt dizzy, and his eyes reddened at once.Ever since he was a child, all he and his mother had were each other. To raise him and fund his education, she'd worked so hard that her health suffered. Before she even got to enjoy a better life, she had fallen severely ill."Doctor, please save my mother. I'm begging you, please. Is there really no way to save her?" Austin pleaded hoarsely. He was choking up.The doctor hesitated briefly before replying, "There's one last option—a liver transplant. We do have a suitable match here at the hospital …"Pausing, he studied Austin. Having treated Austin's mother for some time now, he was aware of Austin's financial situation.In the end, the doctor decided to continue saying, "But … the surgery won't be cheap.

Chapter 2

Urma was not done with her tirade yet."Look at you now. Nancy gave us the money because she loves us, but you're shameless enough to ask for it back! Why are you such a leech? Well, Harvey's about to get married. We're giving him the 200 thousand as a down payment on a house for him and his future wife. You won't be getting a single penny from me!"The call was cut off.Austin froze in shock. Did Urma not understand a word he said?"Austin! Have you gone mad?" Nancy grabbed Austin by the collar frenziedly. "How could you do that? Is it so wrong of me to give money to my parents?"Feeling defeated, Austin stared at Nancy with reddened eyes and asked, "Is my mother's life worth less than a down payment for your brother's new house to all of you?""You're full of bullshit!"Nancy released Austin and began to throw everything in the living room she could get her hands on.In mere seconds, the living room was a mess.Sitting on the couch, Nancy whimpered, "Austin, you heartless ma

Chapter 3

As the car cruised down the streets, Austin remained in shock. It all seemed like a dream.He and the old man, Ezra Lockwood, went up to the ICU ward at Legacy Hospital.It was not until Austin saw his mother, Dahlia Emerson, that he fully registered what was happening. Dahlia had just come out of the operating theater.Joy, gratitude, and other overwhelming emotions washed over Austin."I'm happy to report that the liver transplant surgery was a success, Mr. Lockwood," a doctor came over and said respectfully.Austin was stunned. The doctor, Isaac Navarro, was Dahlia's attending physician. He was one of Legacy Hospital's most well-known doctors and also an expert in the medical field.Isaac was the one who suggested performing the liver transplant surgery to save Dahlia.It went without saying that such an esteemed doctor would have no qualms treating even the most powerful beings as his equals. Despite that, he was showing such courtesy toward Ezra."Thank you, Dr. Navarro,"

"He has been doing this to protect you and your mother," Ezra said."And now, he finally holds the power in his family. He has always cared about you and your mother. He feels guilty, so that's why he sent me over to visit you and try to make up for everything he owes you over the last 20-odd years.""Make up for everything? How's he going to do that?" Austin snarled through gritted teeth.Tears pooled in his reddened eyes as he declared, "It's been over 20 years. Does he know the life my mom and I have led? Ever since I was a kid, people called me a bastard child. "To raise me, my mom had to work all day and all night. She got sick because of how hard she had to work all these years!"Ezra passed a black debit card with a purple orchid design on it to Austin. "This is a token of your father's sincerity."Austin stared at the debit card he was holding.It was his first time seeing one like that.In an instant, his rage bubbled over.Could over 20 years of neglect be forgiven

Chapter 5

After entering the bank, Austin took a number and waited.When it was his turn, he brought the debit card Ezra had given him to the counter and sat down. Once he saw the bank clerk attending to him, his eyelid twitched.It was Susie Wood!What a coincidence it was.Austin narrowed his eyes. Susie was Harvey's girlfriend.Though they had never met, he'd heard about her from Nancy, and he had seen photos of her before.Austin did not resent Susie. He simply felt a bit vexed.She was a pretty young woman with a good job. It was a miracle that she was interested in Harvey, a useless loser leeching off his parents.It was her business what she demanded from the Welches before agreeing to marry Harvey. That matter was between them. Austin was only infuriated by the Welches' attitude. They took the money he needed to save Dahlia's life and wanted him to be the poor sob who had to fund his brother-in-law's life."Hello. What would you like to do today?" Susie greeted him with a profes

Chapter 6

Austin was flabbergasted.What had happened to the cold and stoic Susie? Why was she acting like a flirtatious young woman now?He recalled Nancy describing Susie as a virtuous young woman with traditional values. Even after she started dating Harvey, she maintained proper boundaries and only held hands with him.Well, Austin was neither dumb nor blind.Was Susie … really a virtuous young woman with traditional values who maintained proper boundaries?The middle-aged man's expression darkened, and he eyed Austin with hostility."This is a bank, mister. Kindly behave yourself. As the bank manager, I am now asking you to leave. Otherwise, don't blame me for letting the security guards throw you out."The security guards had smug smiles on their faces. Everyone working in the bank knew that Susie had a thing going on with the bank manager, Hiram Beck.Was this guy trying to go after Susie? Well, he was asking for it.After hearing what Hiram said, Susie's mannerisms became even m

"I'm so sorry for disrespecting you, sir. I was ignorant and made a huge mistake. Please forgive me."The moment Austin and Hiram entered the latter's office, he hastily offered his apologies. Despite wiping his brows many times, he was still sweating profusely. Even the back of his shirt was drenched.The orchid card was a rare one. Ordinary bank clerks did not recognize it.Only those at the managerial level could identify the orchid card.If those who had the orchid card went to the main branch of the bank, even the bank president would have to attend to their needs in person with the utmost courtesy. Hiram was boggled. Why did such a big shot come over to his tiny branch?Why did he even join the queue like everyone else to withdraw his money?He was being rather mean to ordinary bank employees like him!Austin calmly looked at Hiram and asked, "Are you very nervous?"The corners of Hiram's eyes twitched as he smiled sheepishly, "N-Not at all. Allow me to make you some co

Chapter 8

A regular bank clerk like Susie could not afford to offend such an important customer!Upon recalling the way she had treated Austin earlier, Susie sorely regretted everything. She even wanted to slap herself.It would be an honor for her if a VIP customer had his eyes on her!Yet, she had chosen to offend him instead!"Y-You have to help me, Mr. Beck," Susie pleaded as she pressed herself against Hiram."Help you?" Hiram repeated. He scratched his head in frustration and said, "I fucking need help too! If that man is displeased with me, he could easily get me demoted, let alone you."Susie fell into utter despair.Just then, Hiram's eyes lit up. "By the way, are you sure that man was looking at you because he was interested in you?"Susie pursed her lips and nodded dejectedly.Hiram slammed his hand on the table in excitement. "That's it! We can still salvage the situation! Susie, I want you to apologize to that man and do whatever it takes to get his forgiveness, or otherwis

Chapter 9

When Susie received Austin's reply, she hastily asked Hiram for the rest of the day off to prepare for tonight.Both her and Hiram's careers rested on the outcome of tonight. Hiram had gone against the bank's confidentiality policy and dug up Austin's contact information before giving it to Susie.Just as Susie walked out of the bank with a heavy heart, she ran into Harvey who had just gotten out of his car.Harvey did not notice Susie's mood. Smiling, he asked, "Did you get off work early today, Susie?""Harvey?"Susie was startled, but she swiftly recalled her date with Harvey tonight. Acting like nothing was wrong, she replied, "Y-Yeah. I don't feel well, so I asked my manager for the rest of the day off.""Haha … It's just as well then. Since you got off work so early today, why don't we find a place to sit and play a few rounds of Arena? I've been practicing hard lately, and I got so many all-kills too! I'll boost you!" Harvey declared with a wide smile.Susie frowned. Did

Chapter 10

All of Nancy's belongings were gone. Only Austin's and Dahlia's things remained, but they were strewn everywhere.Austin spotted his and Nancy's wedding photo on the floor. It had been torn into half, and only the half with him in it was there.His only photo with Dahlia had also been thrown to the floor. The frame had shattered, and there was a clear shoe print on the edge.Picking up his photo with Dahlia, Austin felt so infuriated that he gritted his teeth and growled, "Have you always found my mom and me to be so unbearable to you?"Austin took a deep breath and carefully pocketed the photo before instructing the movers to start gathering the things.By the time everything was moved to the new rental, it was already 6:00 pm, and Austin had just received Susie's text.He stretched before heading off to Oasis Hotel, the hotel Susie was at.It was a five-star hotel. Up in the suite on the top floor, the massive floor-to-ceiling windows provided an extensive view of the city.S
