Chapter 3

“Mom, are you all right?” Jared asked with concern after Baldy and the rest left. “Those men are gone.” “Why did you have to come out and offend him!” she scolded. “Pick up the money from the floor quickly. It’s what we have painstakingly saved all this while.” Stooping to the ground, Jared put the notes and loose change back into the pouch. “Mom, I’ll be the breadwinner going forward, while you and Dad can rest. As for your eyes, I’ll think of a way to get them treated.”When he was done picking the money up, he returned the pouch to Hannah. “I’m glad to hear you say that,” Hannah replied, before bursting into tears again. “Now that you’re back, my mind is finally put at ease. If it wasn’t because I was worried about you, I would have been dead long ago.” Jared’s eyes could not help but water when he saw the look on his mother’s face. Bang! Unable to hold back his emotions, he slammed his fist on the table. Crack! The table shattered into pieces instantly. The Scotts, the Gibsons… I will definitely make all of you pay.
