I finally understood a harsh truth: being a devoted fool could leave you with nothing, no love, no family.
I used to dream of flying high with Aurora, but now it seemed foolish and naive.
It was time to wake up!
I had to pull myself together and start making money.
I couldn’t let the tragedy of not having enough to help my mother happen to my father.
Bang!
The hospital room door was shoved open roughly.
Aurora stepped in, wearing a mask, sunglasses, and a baseball cap, her eyes filled with impatience.
Behind her was her male assistant, Zachary Fisher, looking smug.
“Here’s 100 thousand dollars!”
“For your mom’s treatment. Don’t waste it!”
“I have an audition, so I have to go.”
As she dug through her handbag, a few stacks of bills spilled out, some even falling to the floor, like she was tossing coins to a beggar.
After flinging the money, she wrinkled her nose at the smell of the hospital room. Covering her face, Aurora turned and walked out.
She seemed to have completely forgotten that she was alive because my mother had donated a kidney to her.
She hadn’t always been like this. When she first entered the entertainment industry, she was kind and genuine.
