"Brian, my mom was torn apart by a truck while delivering medicine to you. Come with me now to see her one last time.
"After that, you'll no longer be my father!"

"Your mom told you to say this, right?
"Tell her to die sooner and stop bothering me!"
Brian had completely lost his patience, or maybe he had never had any patience for my affairs.
I was also shocked.
The first thing he thought upon hearing news of my death was that I was playing a trick on him.
He thought I was lying.
It seemed like he didn't care about my life or death at all.
The other colleagues chimed in.
"This time, she's really gone too far. We just closed a big deal and were celebrating, but she had to ruin everyone's mood."
"They say behind every successful man, there's a woman, but it seems like the woman behind Mr. Mason isn't his wife."
"Having a child cause such a scene is indeed over the top."
From their words, it was clear they credited Winnie for closing the deal.
I had become the person holding Brian back.
Lily didn't expect her father to say such things either.
Soon, my body would be sent for cremation.
By then, Brian wouldn't even get to see me one last time.
She was so anxious that tears almost fell from her eyes.
