“Mom, I’m sorry! I’m well aware that you’re upset, but Natalie isn’t trying to offend you either!”

Although I was still upset she had slapped me in the face, I knew she didn’t mean it. She was just worried about Steven and needed to take her frustration out on someone.

 

“Get the hell out of my sight at once! Don’t show up in front of me anymore in the future!”

Although she was relatively calm as compared to the moment I showed up in the ward, she insisted on chasing me out of the room.

“But Steven needs someone to look after him since he’s heavily injured. Mom, just let me stay behind to keep an eye on him.”

 

It felt awful to be chased away over and over again. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t bothered by her harsh remarks.

“No! I want you to scram, now! Also, you’ll be the one to settle the medical bills of your brother!”

No matter what I told her to defend myself, she refused to listen to me. She simply pushed me out of the ward with all her might before slamming the door shut in my face.
