She was dumbfounded as she opened the bedroom door and turned on the light.
Her room had become a dumping ground, filled with broken pipes, a lawnmower, and a vacuum cleaner that could no longer work.
Helpless, she called her bestie Maya Murphy.
“Maya, I’m homeless.’
Nevaeh hailed a cab to Maya’s place. After entering the bedroom, she collapsed onto the bed and soon drifted off to sleep.
Early the next morning, Maya came inside and woke her up. “Babe, Kenneth wants you at the hospital.”
Nevaeh rolled over, not even opening her eyes.
“Ignore him. Let me sleep for a while longer.”
Maya opened the closet to pick her outfit, saying, “Sheena’s hemorrhaging badly. It seems her life is in danger.
“Are you sure you don’t have to go back?”
Nevaeh had stayed the night here before. Whenever Sheena felt unwell, she’d have to rush back to give Sheena a blood transfusion.
Maya had always been indignant about it, but there was nothing she could do.
Nevaeh was too soft. She had never turned down her family even though they had been treating her unfairly.
But not anymore.
Nevaeh buried herself under the blanket and said without hesitation, “No!
“I don’t care whether she’s dead or not.
“I cut all ties with them already. From now on, Sheena is no longer my concern.”
No one got to disturb her. Right now, she just wanted to sleep!

After having lunch, Nevaeh went to the bank with the check.
She cashed the 1.5-million-dollar check.
Walking out of the bank, she turned right and entered the bank next door. “I’d like to deposit 450 thousand dollars as a

fixed-term savings.”
The bank manager handled her business personally and offered her a nice annual interest rate.
She asked for a two-point increase, and they reached a deal both were happy about.
Then she went to two other banks and deposited 450 thousand dollars in each.

Now, the interest income alone was higher than an average worker’s annual salary. Besides, she had 150 thousand dollars as her liquid funds.
She was set for life.
“I’m so glad I broke up with Isaac!”
At just twenty-three, she
ever had to work another day in her life.
***
In the VIP ward of the hospital.
Isaac stared at the ceiling blankly.
He had just received a bank notification and knew Nevaeh had gone.
The caregiver stepped into the room and smelt the stench of urine.
She reached out to lift his blanket.
He yanked it back, covered himself hastily, and shrieked in embarrassment, “What are you doing?”
“Mr. Fenton, it’s time to get you changed.”
She picked up the half glass of water from the nightstand.
“You can’t drink water for now. Remember?”
Isaac pushed her away impatiently. “Just clean it up more often. I’ll pay you more.”
He tossed a few thousand dollars onto her face, and she fell silent at once.
Yet, the disdain in her eyes kept stabbing his fragile pride like a sharp knife.
It was like she was constantly mocking him he could no longer call himself a man.
On the verge of losing it, he grabbed the glass and smashed it at her hard.
“Get out! I don’t need you! Out!”
Covering her bleeding head, the caregiver left the ward with tears streaming down her face, threatening him that this
wasn’t over.
He smashed everything within reach, and the noise was so loud that even the hospital director came into the ward.

Soon, he was sedated. Looking at him, the director said expressionlessly, “Restrain his hands in case he tries to kill himself.”
