But paralyzed from the waist down, all my strength ended with me rolling helplessly off the wheelchair.
Sharon’s face twisted with disgust.
“You useless thing. Lying on the floor like that, isn’t it shameful enough already? If I were you, I’d throw myself into the river this instant. Our family must be cursed to end up with a bitch like you. You’re dragging our lives shorter by the day!”
Javon wanted to help me up, but Cynthia suddenly clutched her chest with a pained frown.
“Javon, my breasts are engorged; it hurts so much.”
Without hesitation, Javon scooped her into his arms. “I’ll take you to rest.”
They disappeared into the room, and my mother-in-law picked up the sleeping child, glaring coldly at me.
“Since you’ve come back, why aren’t you cooking? Are you waiting for this old woman to feed you herself?”
I struggled to rise, my nails digging deep into my palm.
Then enjoy this dinner well. After tonight, I want every single one of you on your knees, begging for forgiveness.
When I finished cooking, I looked around the living room, but neither Javon nor Cynthia was there.
As I reached our bedroom, I froze, my whole body’s blood turning to ice in an instant.
