Chapter 544

Before this, Lucy Katz was always filming, so she simply said a few words to her mother before leaving.

She had to have a nice long chat with her mother since she finally had some time today. Her mother had been tormented by her illness and lost some weight.

Lucy’s heart ached at this.

At the hospital.

“Why did you come so early today?”

Her mother was curious because Lucy would usually visit late at night, yet she came in the evening today.

“We finished filming the series today, so I came here to accompany you. I was afraid you’d feel bored all this while,” she said and smiled.

Lucy’s mother secretly decided to entertain Lucy after seeing that her daughter was in the mood to chat.

“You’ve been coming here late every night. Now that you finally got off work early, why don’t you go home and have a good rest? I’m here all day and won’t run away. I’m just afraid your body can’t take it from running around so much.”

Lucy’s mother knew that her daughter had been busy and finally saw Lucy sitting in front of her today.

“Don’t worry.”

Lucy’s hard work was nothing compared to the 24-hour suffering her mother was going through.

She knew that she could not do anything for her mother, so she could only take good care of her.

“No. Mom’s telling you to have some time for yourself. You were either always at the office or here with me.”

Lucy’s mother held her hands.

“Mmmm...who else would I share my time with? You’re not feeling well lately, so the only thing I can do is come to visit you.”

“I’m happy that my daughter is so filial. But I want to tell you that you’re no longer young and should find yourself a boyfriend. I don’t know how much longer I can be here with you. If you have a boyfriend, bring him over so Mom can take a look.”

Lucy’s mother did not know how much longer she would live, so she was afraid that once she went, no one would be there to take care of Lucy. Her only wish was for Lucy to find a boyfriend so that when she passes, she would know that someone would be taking care of Lucy on her behalf.

“Oh Mom, these things can’t be rushed.”

Upon hearing her mother’s words, Lucy wanted to run away.

She did not know why Joel Foster kept lingering in her mind at that moment.

Even though Lucy knew that Joel had given up on her after the previous incident, why did she suddenly think of him when her mother mentioned the word “boyfriend”?

Was it possible that she really liked him?

No. Impossible.

Although Lucy secretly desired Joel, she had to remind herself not to think about him because he was just a playboy.

“Okay. Stop dreaming. It’s already late, so go home and rest for 2 days.”

Lucy’s mother saw that the sky was getting darker and immediately asked her to go home.

Her mother knew that she was unwell.

“Okay. I have a day off tomorrow, so I’ll come over again.”

Lucy saw that the woman on the bed was getting tired.

She did not want to disturb her mother so she took her purse and went home.

At the bus station.

Lucy was waiting for the bus.

“Burr...burr...burr...”

Her phone was vibrating in her purse.

“Hello?”

It was an unknown number, so Lucy was curious who it was and picked up the call.

“Transfer the money to me now.”

The voice over the call sounded sleazy.

Lucy heard his voice and her whole body felt unsettled. The frown on her forehead tightened.

“How many times have I told you? Stop contacting me! If you continue to be like this, I promise that I’ll ignore your calls forever.”

It was Lucy’s stepfather over the phone, not her biological father.

Lucy’s mother was the best person in the world.

However, her stepfather was a gambling addict and an alcoholic.

When Lucy was young, her stepfather would beat her and her mother whenever he got upset. He had no respect for them both.

In her stepfather’s eyes, he always thought that his wife brought in an extra burden. This daughter was a money-losing product, so he had never once looked her in the eye.

Due to this childhood experience, Lucy never had a good impression of her stepfather.

Moreover, over these few years, her stepfather kept asking for cash repeatedly and was never satisfied.

Lucy needed the money for her mother’s surgery so her wallet was already tight. How could she have extra cash for her stepfather?

She also did not have any relations with him.

“Hurry and transfer me the money. Otherwise, these people will kill me. Do you have the heart to just watch your father die? Anyway, I’ve raised you for the last 20 years. How could you treat me like this?”

The man’s voice over the phone got louder and louder that in the end, he was just shouting at her.

Lucy hated this the most.

He always felt that it was his right for people to give him things.

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 “Was I not clear enough the last time? I’ve already told you that I’ll no longer care about your life, so stop asking me to clean up your mess.

Understand?”

Since Lucy had started her acting career, her stepfather always begged her for money.

Although she did not have a close relationship with her stepfather, she was still softhearted.

Lucy used to believe that no matter how horrible this man was, he was still her stepfather. If she gave him enough money, he would not be like this.

However, Lucy kept helping this man repeatedly and always felt disappointed every time.

After this man received the money, he would continue to gamble and waste her money on drinks and girls.

When the money ran out, he would once again call Lucy for more.

All this while, whenever Lucy received her salary, her bank account would be sucked dry by this money-sucker.

She absolutely hated this man and would not want to help him.

Especially now that Lucy was famous these past 2 years, her stepfather’s appetite grew bigger and bigger and eventually became a black hole.
