"Dad, Mom, what happened to me? Why did I lose my legs?"
"Don't cry, my dear son. We are here. We'll hire a nurse to take care of you for the rest of your life. The compensation money is enough for our family to live comfortably for the rest of our lives…"
When Marely mentioned "family", she deliberately left me out.
I didn't care. Darien had been hit by a car while running a red light, so he was partly at fault, and the compensation was only around 120 thousand dollars.
120 thousand dollars might be enough for Darien alone, but to support their entire family, including the mistress and her child, it wouldn't last long.
It was the same in my previous life. Once the compensation money ran out, they turned to me, expecting my family to support them.
I stood by coldly, watching as these people comfort Darien.
As Marely got more emotional, the more displeased she became with me, showing her disdain directly.
"Look at your wife. You got into a car accident and she still prioritizes work. A woman like you married into our family was truly our bad luck!"
