Now he realized that Sheena really had no money at all.
How has she managed all these years?
Christopher was always strict, and Stephen had been scolded many times since childhood, but this time, he simply couldn’t understand him.
“But twelve years ago, Sheena was only eight years old. You left her alone in the countryside and even closed her bank accounts. Didn’t you ever think she might not survive?” he clapped back.
His words made Christopher’s anger only intensified. “Sheena made a mistake, and if she died, it would be well deserved!”
Upon hearing him, Stephen was completely stunned. No matter how big her mistake was, Sheena was still his daughter. How could his father say such cold–hearted words?

If his father had always been strict and fair in his punishment, that would be one thing, but Jasmin had committed countless mistakes over the years, and this time she had even pushed the Wilson family‘ s young lady down the stairs. Yet, their father never once punished her.
Stephen felt something was off and couldn’t help but ask, “Did you ever

Mom?”

Let’s see if you can live without a single penny like Sheena!”
The phone line clicked with an uncaring
tone.
Stephen’s head began to ring, but he still couldn’t figure things out.
Meanwhile, throughout the day, Amanda hadn’t been feeling well.
First, she had fallen in the morning, scraping her calf. Then, after waking from a nap, she had developed a severe headache. This time, the pain seemed worse than usual.
The headache lingered for so long that she even started calling out Jasmin‘ s name.
A family doctor had been called in, but he was helpless.
“Madam’s condition is a chronic ailment from childbirth, and regular painkillers don’t work anymore.“.
“I’ve heard Madam say that recently, Miss

Brooks would give her daily massages, which helped ease the headache. Perhaps we should ask Miss Brooks to give her another massage. It might help her feel better.”
Stephen knew exactly who the doctor was referring to. But now that Sheena had gone. to the Wilson family, she wouldn’t be
back for a while.
He suddenly remembered that when Sheena had been massaging Amanda‘ s head, Jasmin had once learned to do it for a while. Since Amanda had been repeatedly calling out for “Jasmin,” he quickly left the room to call Jasmin.
But Jasmin quickly hung up on him.
Frowning, Stephen called again.
It wasn’t until the twenty–seventh call that Jasmin finally picked up. But as soon as she answered, her tone was already
unpleasant, “What’s going on, Brother? Don’t you know I’m busy?”

The background noise on the other end sounded like a party.
Stephen, always patient with Jasmin, remained calm despite the multiple unanswered calls. His voice was still
gentle, “Mom fell this morning, and her headache came back this afternoon. She‘ s been calling for you. Could you…”
But Jasmin was already starting to get irritated, and she snapped, “Mom’s headache has been going on for years, and the doctor said it‘ s incurable. What do
you want me to do?”
