My Uncle's Inheritance

After my parents passed away, Uncle Patrick took me in because I was homeless.

Later, he became paralyzed from a construction accident. I took care of him wholeheartedly for ten years without any complaints.

Moved by my dedication, he said he would leave all his property to me.

At this time, Nina, who had cut off ties with him, returned home.

But Uncle Patrick remained silent. He kicked me out of the house and left all his property to Nina before he died.

Nina hated me, and in the end, I died on the streets with nothing.

In this new life, I went back to the eve of Uncle Patrick's hospitalization. This time, I won't sit idly by.

As I opened my eyes, the stomach pain from hunger spasms in my previous life still haunted me.

I looked around and realized that I was in school. The time was ten years ago, right before Uncle Patrick's accident.

I looked at the date on my phone and sneered. In this life, I wouldn't let them deceive me or morally manipulate myself anymore.

Not long after, the phone rang and my aunt cried and said to me, "Rebecca, come back quickly. Your uncle had an accident at the construction site."

She cried and gasped for breath, but I calmly asked her, "Auntie, don't worry. I will finish arranging things at school and rush back."

"Okay, okay," she said in a panic.

In my previous life, I thought she was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. But I realized that she was playing the trick of making me drop out of school and become a nanny for Uncle Patrick later.

But in this life, I wouldn't believe her words.

Just before her phone was about to hang up, I asked her, "Auntie, have you told Nina about this?"

"She's so busy. Because such a sudden incident happened so quickly. I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it. Rebecca, Nina is different from you. She hasn't experienced the loss of a loved one. How can she be as strong as you?"

I sneered. Look at what she said, as if I should have lost my parents early?

I gently comforted her, "Aunt, Nina has grown up. She has a good relationship with uncle. At such an important moment, if you don't inform her, she will blame you in the future."

I played another trick, and sure enough, she hesitated.

Not long after, she said again, "I'll tell her, you finish your arrangements and come back quickly. Your uncle is so serious, he still needs someone to take care of him."

I made a sound of agreement and hung up the phone.

Then, I called my grandma.

Uncle Patrick was the late-born child in our family, and my grandparents value him very much.

There was an elder sister of Uncle Patrick. She married out, and she rarely came back unless it was during the holidays. She used to be closer to my parents.

After my parents passed away, she didn't take care of me either.

I sent her a message, thinking of her cold face, and I was still a little scared.

But I didn't expect that she immediately called me back. She said to me, "Rebecca, I'm on my way home. Remember, if they want you to drop out of school and take care of your uncle, you must refuse, understand? I will arrange the rest for you."

I didn't understand why she made such a serious promise.

Having Auntie Iris as a backer was obviously better for me to act now.

After all, she said not to let me drop out of school.

In my previous life, I was full of love. I thought Uncle Patrick worked hard to raise me. Without hesitation, I agreed to take care of him and drop out of school. I remembered that Auntie Iris hurried back at that time, but I was determined to filial piety to Uncle Patrick.

At that time, I didn't have much good impression of Auntie Iris. My grandparents always said that she got married and forgot them.

Now, I felt that there was something in it that I didn't know.

But now was not a good time to know the answer. I had more important things to deal with.
