I’M Not Wrong!

[Chapter 110]

David arrived at Jacey's bedroom and tried to push open the door. It was to no avail, though, because Jacey had locked it from the inside.

"Knock knock."

David knocked on the door and said, "It's me, Jace, open the door."

After a while, the sound of the door unlocking could be heard, but the door remained closed.

David pushed open the door and entered, only to see Jacey fuming on the bed.

Jacey was only sixteen this year, studying his first year of high school at Shu City. His father Yousef had pulled many connections to enroll Jacey into a good high school.

Jacey was currently at a rebellious age, so he wanted to take revenge when his mom got beaten up.

It was only natural that he would feel angry when his dad made him stay at home.

"What happened, Jace? Tell me," David said as he walked over to pat Jacey's shoulder.

"Dave! Quin hit my mom! I'm going to f*cking kill him, but my dad won't let me go! Just because my dad's a coward doesn't mean I am too!" Jacey said angrily.

David smacked the back of Jacey's head and reprimanded, "Excuse me? Who talks about their dad like that, huh?"

"I'm not wrong!" Jacey refuted.

"Your dad's not being a coward, he's being logical. What if something happened to him? What will happen to you and your sister? Your mom's back is weak, she can't do anything too straining. Your dad's the one holding your whole family up, he already has enough on his hands. How can you call him a coward?"

"If he can't afford to go, then at least let me! But he won't let me go out."

"Stop saying that you're going to kill people here and there. Your mom's going to be heartbroken if something happens to you. This happened because of me, so let me resolve this, okay? I promise I'll get justice."

"Really?" Jacey asked.

"Of course! Just you wait! Once Aunt Sally's back recovers, we'll go and take revenge for Aunt Sally!'

"Alright! You said it, Dave!"

David brought Jacey out and they sat in the living room, waiting for Lily to bring breakfast over.

In the living room, David told Uncle Yousef he wanted to bring Aunt Sally to River City for treatment.

Yousef gave it some thought and agreed, then he called his superior and asked for a leave.

He wanted to bring Sally to the large hospitals in River City a long time ago, but Sally always refused.

In truth, Sally just wanted to keep the expenses low. After all, Yousef was the only one working in this household and their current expenses were already pretty high.

Sally woke up not too long after.

David quickly rushed over. "Aunt Sally! How are you feeling?"

"Dave? Why are you here?" Sally asked.

"Aunt Sally, how can I not come back when something this big happened?" David replied.

"It's not a big deal. My back's always been bad. I'll be fine after a few days."

"Aunt Sally, why did you have to go and ask Bobby for the compensation? Don't you know what kind of person he is?"

"But your parents left that money for you. You're about to graduate from university, and you'll need that money to plan your wedding. I have to get it back for you! Plus, we have the agreement he signed. Worse comes to worst, we can just file a suit against him!" Sally replied.

"Alright. We can talk about this later, what's most important now is to get treatment for your back. I already called a good hospital in River City, and we can leave in a bit."

"River City? I'm not going! I'm fine! I'll be good as new in a few days, so there's no point in going at all. I've dealt with this back for years," Sally rejected.

What Sally was worried about was how much the treatment in River City would cost.

Her family was not wealthy, as Yousef was the only working adult and the sole breadwinner

Her children were currently studying in university and high school, while even David's school fees were raised with the help of David's aunt Diana.

There were little to no savings at home, and using the limited funds on her treatment would only make the financial situation at home more precarious.
