“I don’t need your stupid photos.”
“Besides, who’s gonna take care of Tyler?”
I dryly responded with, “I’m leaving next
month.”
The room went silent, but my parents and
Greg were furious.
“How can you say that?”
“Tyler’s got the Math Olympiad next month.
Who’s gonna take care of him? Who’s gonna
tutor him?”
“How can you abandon your kid to show
you’re mad at us?”
Mom?
I looked at Tyler, but he was full of hatred.
He called me Amy, and now he doesn’t even
call me that.
I remember the first time Tyler called me
Mom.
Greg lost it when he heard him and kicked me
out.
“Tyler only has one Mom!”
Greg went crazy when Ashley abandoned
Tyler.
When Tyler called me Mom, Greg punished
him.
Now everything is over.
I looked at my parents and Greg and said,
“You said I could only stay for 10 years.”
“Now the time is up, and I need to go.”
く
My parents looked disappointed. “You’re not
being forced to leave. Why are you even
bringing this up?”
Just like before, they were only worried about
losing money.
Greg tightened his eyebrows. “That’s not a
reason! Would I really kick you out if you
asked?”
“If you’re worried, I’ll post on social media,
and everyone will know you’re Mrs. Greg.”
Greg didn’t even give me a wedding.
When his friends came to our house, he
would casually say, “She’s my baby sitter.”
Everyone knew I was just a gold digger.
Greg was only waiting for my time to be up to
kick me out.
All I wanted was a title.
I calmly responded, “The doctor said I might
be disabled.”
“Greg would find a new woman and Tyler
<
would find a new Mom.”
Greg sighed in relief. “I can hire a great
doctor for you.”
“Plus, the Greg’s family has enough money to
help you.”
Greg thought I was a gold digger.
He only gave me $3000 of spending money.
Greg already gave me too much.
“Thank you for the offer, but I decline.”
Then the secretary came in to give me rings.
I sat in Ashley’s chair, which cost $10 million.
The master bedroom was filled with Ashley’s
things.
“No thanks.”
The secretary said, “Greg has only set a $1
million budget for the ring.”
“I’m telling you, that jewelry is your personal
property.”
I told the secretary, “Just pick one.”
Tyler will destroy the ring like Greg would give
L
Tyler will destroy the ring like Greg would give
to me.
Right after that, Tyler came in with a box.
He threw the hot oatmeal at me.
“You should leave now before I throw acid on
you.”
The oatmeal poured all over the blanket and
burnt my arms.
Even though I made that yesterday, it was still
really hot.
Tyler saw my red arms and left.
The nurse changed my sheets and helped put
medicine on my arms.
Before she left, she told me, “Some kids can’t
be raised.”
I couldn’t stop the tears.
Everyone can see what’s going on.
But I believed that sincerity can win.
No matter if it was Greg or Tyler, I only got
pain in return.

I hired a nurse to take care of me and
checked out of the hospital.
I went back to get my stuff, but I saw
everyone laughing and smiling.
Ashley was back, and she had been gone for
10 years.
My parents hugged her with tears in their
eyes. “Ashley, welcome back! Welcome
back!”
“What do you want to eat?”
Tyler was hugging her.
“Mom, you’re finally back! I’m not the kid
without a mom anymore.”
Greg looked excited.
“Ashley, I knew you would come back!”
They were all happy.
I made a sound, and my parents turned to me
with an awkward look. “Amy, why didn’t you
tell us you were back?”
I looked away and told the nurse to take me

I called them when I was in the hospital, but
no one picked up.
