I knew they must have received the compensation money by now and were planning a family trip, leaving me with the mess of taking care of Darien as a free nurse.
As soon as I entered the hospital room, sure enough, Marely's relatives were all gathered inside.
Many of them visited Darien regularly, and the moment they mentioned me, they were filled with righteous indignation.
Some lamented the tragedy of raising children, while others angrily called me an ungrateful wretch.
To be fair, if a family member were in an accident and their relatives were slow to arrive, anyone would have something to complain about.
I could understand that.
But Marely's performance during this time was particularly convincing, making others believe she was a saint for taking such good care of her son.
"However close a daughter-in-law might be, she'll never truly be one of us."
Marely said, wiping away fake tears.
I knocked on the door and entered. As soon as Marely saw that it was me, the one who hadn't visited in three days, she immediately began to berate me as a heartless ingrate.
Bailey joined in and cursed me for not being human, for not visiting Darien even once in three days.
