Chapter 2 Tragedies

  • Why is he out in just three years?
  • "Oh, because of my medical skills, I actually helped a lot of people in prison. They cut down my sentences because of my good behavior." Bonafide was secretive, so Jonah simply made up a lie. And he was actually more concerned about what happened to his home. Why is it in such bad shape now? Dreamland may be a city in the village, which is near the boundary of the city. But it should be the richest area in the old part of the city. The Jonah family has been doctors for generations. Our family's finances are pretty stable. But, now…
  • "Mom, is dad working in the clinic? Is he coming back for lunch? Oh right, are Rocco and Blair doing well with their jobs? And Casey should be in kindergarten now, right?" Jonah could not hold back and asked, "Is Diana treating you and dad well in the past three years?"
  • "Sigh!" It was fine before he mentioned it, but Susan broke into tears again after hearing his questions. "Rocco and Blair passed away! Their car lost control and went straight into the river! We haven't even found their bodies by now. And you dad…"
  • "Leo Clark, freaking show yourself! Are you really going to be a coward for life?" At that moment, the gate of the courtyard was kicked open as someone yelled.
  • Jonah frowned, and he was about to go out to deal with him. Leo was his father, how dare someone insult him this way?
  • "Don't!" Susan was shocked, and she hurriedly dragged and shoved Jonah into the bedroom. She then said it nervously, "Hurry, hurry up and hide under the bed! Don't come out if I didn't ask you to! They won't do something to an old lady like me. Quick, climb under..."
  • "Klink!" The wooden door was broken. Three shirtless thugs rushed in while they were biting a cigarette in their mouth.
  • "Are you hiding? Let me see where you can hide? Are you freaking trying to... Huh, this isn't Leo. Are you his son?" The leader, Henry, with dyed hair, stared at Jonah in surprise.
  • "Yes. I'm his son, Jonah." Jonah suppressed his rage and glared at these people. "You can pay for your father's debts! It's only reasonable to do it! Pay us back!"
  • Henry extended his hand toward Jonah. "Your father owes us 200 thousand dollars! Hurry up and pay us now! Or else you have to leave and empty this house!"
  • "200 thousand? My dad borrowed it?" Jonah was frowning hard and turned to look at his mother in disbelief. "Mom, did my dad borrow money? Our clinic had been doing well, why did he have to borrow money?" Jonah asked in confusion.
  • "Ah, Casey fell sick with acute leukemia. But your dad wasn't willing to give up. After all, Casey is the only bloodline left by Rocco and Blair. So, he went to the thugs to borrow fifty thousand from them." Susan knew she could not hide any longer, so she told the truth about their household's tragedies.
  • "Dude, pay us the money. We don't have all the time to deal with you." Henry urged him by saying, "It's normal to pay back your debts. I hope you better be smart about it."
  • "We will return the money." Jonah's heart was broken into pieces, he was trying to withstand the pain inflicted by these tragedies! "But, give me some time, I just arrived…"
  • "Dammit! Don't give me the same excuse as your father. You should try something new! Don't be like your crippled father!" Henry was agitated and said all sorts of harsh words.
  • "Crippled?" Jonah was so shocked that he almost lost his balance. "What happened to my dad?"
  • "Two years ago, after Rocco and Blair's incident, your father went to the bank to save the money compensated by the bank. On his way, he ran into a robber." Susan could not stop crying. Everything that happened in the past three years was like a sharp knife cutting off her flesh and poking her heart!
  • "Your father refused to give the money out because it was at the cost of Rocco and Blair's lives! The robber broke his leg and stabbed him in the stomach. If he wasn't rescued on time, he might be dead too…"
  • "Stop nagging. How do you have so much nonsense?" Henry was getting impatient.
  • "I don't have time to hear your sob stories. I just want the money back! Or else, pack up and leave now! This house will be ours…"
  • "Get out!" Jonah's heart was aching until he could not breathe. His family was broken after he came back three years later. How was it possible for him to be nice to the loan sharks?
