Maybe it was because I looked too terrifying at that moment, but Jude didn't dare to talk back. He left in a hurry without even packing his things. I returned to the kitchen to continue cooking.
Seeing the ribs on the cutting board, I couldn't hold back my tears. Belle's condition had improved a lot recently. I wanted to make something good to nourish her, so I gritted my teeth and bought a rack of ribs.
In my previous life, I cut the rack of ribs into eight pieces.
Five pieces for Belle, three for Jude, while I soaked some bread in the soup.
As for this life, not only the ribs but also half the family property, I would make sure that every single day from now on, they live in unbearable torment!

Jude thought I was throwing a tantrum out of jealousy, so after hiding outside for two days, he shamelessly came back.
He said, "Rosie, don't be mad. Mother's Day is coming up and I just wanted to take my mom out to relax. Margerie happens to be in the travel business, so with her help, we could save some money."
Mother's Day? I couldn't help but recall everything from my previous life.
It was on this day in my past life that I received my daughter's critical condition notice. End-stage renal failure.
The fortunate news was that the doctor told me a suitable kidney donor had been found and my daughter could be saved.
"Please go ahead and pay the surgery fee first. You'll need to prepare around one hundred thousand later. Suitable kidneys are hard to come by, many people are waiting for them. We prioritized your daughter because she's so young."
"Doctor, don't worry. Money is not an issue. Please save my daughter," I replied.
For a patient with renal failure, a kidney donor was a lifeline. I didn't dare delay and rushed to the payment counter, feeling a surge of relief. My daughter's safety was the best Mother's Day gift I could ever receive.
But when I swiped the card, I froze, there was only 15.8 dollar left in the account.
This was Jude's bank card and I had also deposited our wedding gift money into it. There should have been at least five hundred thousand in there.
I frantically called Jude, but I couldn't get through no matter how many times I tried.
He didn't answer the phone, didn't respond to WhatsApp. I was sweating in panic and even tried calling my mother-in-law, Linda Evans, but still couldn't reach anyone.
