Though her arm had healed after the dislocation and fracture from the fall, it had left noticeable aftereffects. In addition to weakness and fatigue, her arm hurt severely every winter or rainy day, and there was no practical solution other than gradual recovery.
It was March, the weather was still chill, and with almost daily rain, her arm ached once more. She had no choice but to stay indoors, applying medication daily, unable to go anywhere. Yet despite her suffering, the Russell family, whom she supported, continued to speak cruelly.
"Alright, Linda is already feeling bad enough, so stop saying things like that," Noemi said. "Linda, I came here today to discuss something with you.
"Your brother is dating a 20-year-old girlfriend and plans to marry her. However, she's asking for an engagement gift worth 100 thousand dollars, a more than 1,000 square feet wedding house, and a BMW worth over 60 thousand dollars. She also wants the house to be in both their names."
Linda lowered her head, a soft, melancholy laugh escaping her lips. She knew Noemi wasn't here to check her health but to discuss her brother's situation. In Noemi's eyes, he was more important than anything—even life itself. Linda's sole purpose seemed to be supporting her family in raising him.
Over the years, she spent nearly 2 million dollars on her brother, whether for his relationships, marriage, or buying a house and car.
Two years ago, her brother divorced his wife because she couldn't have children and was getting older. He gave the house and car to his ex-wife and found a new, younger girlfriend.
Now, her mother was asking her to buy a house and a car for her brother's second marriage. She was nothing more than a cash machine in her family's eyes.
However, it wasn't the end of it. Linda's older brother said, "Linda, Luka Russell got into a fight and broke the other person's bones. Their family is demanding a compensation of 40 thousand dollars.
"As you know, the stores are struggling, and I'm losing monthly money. I really can't come up with this amount."
Her sister-in-law added, "Erica Russell is already five years old. We want to hire an experienced teacher to teach her piano and buy a good piano. The cost for all of this is so high that we'll need your help."
Noemi continued, "Linda, don't think of this money as being given away for nothing. You don't have a husband or children, so your brothers, nephew, and I will help care for you in the future. The more you do for them now, the better they'll treat you when you get older. You won't lose out."
Her sister-in-law said, "Yes, Linda, both Luka and Erica know how good you've been to them. When they grow up, they'll take care of you. And once Erica becomes successful, she can help uphold the family's reputation, right?"
At this point, her sister-in-law's eyes flickered, and she suggested, "Linda, Since Erica is your niece, why don't you have her live with you?"
'Such a clever calculation!' Linda thought. She smiled, her eyes filled with hatred beneath her long hair. "You are sure I'll never marry again or have children, right?"
Noemi said, "You're beautiful and wealthy. How could you not get married?
"But your reputation... to be honest, it's not great. It's tough for you to marry a man with good conditions. If you marry someone with less, your situation will be even worse. As they say in those fantasies, it might be better to be 'independently beautiful.'"
Her brother said, "Didn't you take birth control pills often when you were with your ex-husband? It messed up your hormones so badly—how could you even have kids? Even if you could, it would do a lot of harm to your body. You should prioritize your health and beauty; don't bother having kids."
Her sister-in-law added, "We've spoken to your doctor. You have irregular periods, some health concerns, and even some depression. How can you have children with all that?
"Besides, you're over thirty now, and if you try to have kids, you'll be considered a high-risk pregnancy, which could lead to complications. What if you die during childbirth or your health completely deteriorates? Isn't that just asking for trouble?"
Beneath the blanket, Linda's hands were tightly clenched together. With parents and siblings like hers, she couldn't help but feel twisted inside. She couldn't help but make the wrong decision, losing someone like Jaden.
When Noemi heard their words, her eyes lit up, and she eagerly said, "Linda, nowadays, it's common to write a will in advance. Why don't you write one and leave your estate to the family?
"After all, you're a beautiful young widow, and plenty of scumbags are eyeing you. If one day you're fooled and lose everything to one of them, that would be a disaster."
Her brother added, "Just to be safe, writing a will is better. That way, if anything were to happen to you, your stepchildren wouldn't end up with everything."
Linda could no longer hold back. She abruptly lifted her head, grabbed the vase from the bedside table, and hurled it angrily at the trio's feet. With fury, she shouted, "You may have raised me, but after all the millions I've given this family over the years, isn't that enough to repay you, both principal and interest?
