About

Nico's world shatters the moment she realizes her family's love is as conditional as their financial support. After a frantic call from her mother demanding money for a supposed emergency, she scrambles to send everything she can muster—only to discover it was all a lie, a ruse to fund her brother's new home. Suddenly, Nico finds herself in a hospital bed, facing a serious medical condition, while her family has turned their backs on her in her time of need. How does one navigate the anguish of betrayal when it comes from those who should love you the most?

As she grapples with her family's favoritism and her own sense of worth, Nico must confront painful memories of her childhood. The scars of being overlooked and underestimated by her parents linger, but so does a flicker of hope. With the unexpected arrival of her estranged aunt, Grace, a lifeline emerges—a chance to redefine family ties and find a sense of belonging. Will Nico’s journey lead her to healing, not just physically but emotionally? And as she faces the truth about her family's love, can she learn to love herself in the process?

The Whole Family Doesn't Love MeChapter 1 Don't Have Money to Cure You!

"I don't have money to cure you!"

With a snap, the phone call was abruptly ended and the screen of the mobile phone went dark.

I held the phone so tightly that my fingertips turned pale from exertion, and I sat weakly on the floor of the hospital.

I had no tears in my eyes and I just felt cold all over. My mind went blank, only my mother's words kept repeating.

A few days ago, I fainted at my workplace because of continuous overtime. When I woke up in the hospital, I suddenly received a phone call from my mother. She sounded anxious and only said, "It's a matter of life and death. Hurry up and send money." Then she hurriedly hung up the phone.

When I reacted and called again, I couldn't get through.

I was so anxious, afraid that something might happen at home. I hastily put together 70,000 dollars from the money I had saved since I had been working for a year. Worried that it wouldn't be enough, I borrowed another 30,000 dollars from a friend, sending a total of 100,000 dollars to my mother.

I just transferred the money and she immediately received it.
