I was waiting for her to find the bank card.

Seeing that she finally found the bank card I had hidden in the coffee jar, I took out my cell phone and called her.

"Mom, I was hit by a car and I'm in the hospital now.

"There's a bank card at the bottom of the coffee jar. That's all my savings. Can you bring it to the hospital?"

My voice was filled with helplessness.

The palms of my hands were wet with sweat.

After hearing that, she was stunned for a few seconds.

Then she said, "Okay, I will bring it to you."

I watched her close the door and leave.

I waited in the hospital until dark, but she didn't come.

It was not until that moment that I finally made up my mind to live only for myself in the present life.

My mother knew the password to all my bank cards, which was her birthday.

But she took the card without any money.

I installed the camera the night before and changed the bank card at the same time.

The bank card with money was actually with me.

Sure enough, my mother called me early the next morning.

She seemed like a different person, and asked me loudly, "Why is there no money in your bank card? Why are you so selfish?"

"Mom, I'm still in the hospital."

She paused for a few seconds, and then David's voice came from the phone.

"Dora, I'm telling you! If you don't give me the money, you'll suffer the consequences."

I didn't flinch and yelled at him.

"David, I'm making this clear today. Don't even think about taking a penny from me."

After that, the Smiths seemed to have disappeared.

I had a pretty comfortable time until I saw David and my mother at the door of my house.

After all that time, he was not crippled.

I clenched the pepper spray in my pocket and stopped three feet away from them.

They stared at me fiercely.

Then he threw a stack of letter paper at me.

"This is a detailed list of your expenses from childhood to adulthood. We don't ask for anything else. Just return the money to us."

I turned directly to the last page, and the total was 300,000 dollars.

I couldn't help but sneer in my heart. It was exactly 300,000 dollars to pay off his debt.

I threw the so-called "bill" in his face.

He was caught off guard and the letter paper scratched his face, leaving a bloody mark.

"Get lost! You want to blackmail me? You're dreaming!"
