Chapter 5

Author: Good Measure
After the third time, my parents finally realized that my number was truly no longer in service.

A hint of panic flashed in Mom’s eyes. She immediately asked, “John, did you call the wrong number?

“How could Jude’s number be out of service?”

Dad carefully looked at the phone number.

His face slowly turned pale.

“It’s the right phone number. It’s Jude’s number.”

Everyone was quiet for a moment.

Then, Mom started throwing stuff onto the floor.

She stood up abruptly and looked angry.

    As she gave Dax those shoes, she immediately came after me. She had spoken with an upset voice as she glared at me with teary eyes. It was as if I was the sinner. “Because of you, Dax can no longer compete in track! We bought him a pair of sports shoes because he deserves it!“Jude, have a good look, even though you’ve saved Dax and Daphne, they’ve sacrificed a lot for you too. “They don’t owe their lives to you, got it?”I was not even expecting them to do anything in return. But no one had asked me for my opinion. I did not want money. I just did not want Daphne to sacrifice her dream because of me. Back then, I only had one thought in my mind when I rushed into the fire. If Dax and Daphne died, my parents, who doted on them the most, would be very upset. I just did not want to see them upset. I could never understand how the savior could end up as the sinner, not for ten years, and not on that day either.However, time had changed. I no longer wanted to find o

    Life at the special education college was a lot easier than I had anticipated. People paid attention to my pain. No one felt that I was seeking attention. The principal, Talia Smith, could not help but gasp when she first saw my swollen knee on the day we first met. She said pitifully, “It’s so serious. Didn’t you tell your family about it?”I shook my head and smiled indifferently. “It’s fine, I don’t want to be their burden anymore.”Talia did not say anything else. With teary eyes, she got me the best doctor in the city. She said that as long as I would like, I could stay there forever. Talia found me through the blog that I wrote online. She liked how positive I was in such a dire situation. She said my words had encouraged a lot of children in the school who were desperate too. The special education college was partially sponsored by charity. It had just started, so they needed a teacher to guide the children into the right direction. I settled down the

    Dax continued cursing in annoyance. “I hate Jude. Mom and Dad just need the both of us. Why did they give birth to him?“I was the one who set the fire back then. Initially, I just wanted to teach Jude a lesson, but I didn’t expect that after his leg burnt, our parents only paid him more attention. “I hate it. Why can’t he just disappear? Why did he have to snatch our parents’ attention away?!” After Dax said that, he heard the shuffling footsteps. Before he could come to his senses, Mom had already slapped him hard on his face. Dax stumbled from the impact. He fell onto the floor. He held his face and looked at Mom in disbelief. Subconsciously, he quickly hid the letters behind him. “Mom.”Dax’s eyes were flickering nervously. “Why are you here?”Dad snatched the letter. With just one glance, his face immediately turned pale. Dax immediately defended himself. “Sure, I didn’t tell you when I found the letters. But Jude’s determined to go to the special educatio

    The moment she answered the call, Xander’s displeased voice travelled through the phone. “What’s wrong with you? I’ve explicitly said that you can’t stop Jude’s physiotherapy. Are you really trying to ruin his life?”My parents looked a little embarrassed at being humiliated in front of all their relatives. Mom said in annoyance, “Did Jude head over and talk nonsense again?“We’ve decided to not send him for physiotherapy anymore. “After all these years, we’ve spent too much money and effort on him. His leg still hasn’t recovered. We no longer want to waste any resources. What’s wrong with that?” Xander immediately sounded agitated. “With his current condition, if we stop his physiotherapy, there is a high chance that he’ll need to amputate his leg in the future. It will even threaten his life!“A week ago, I personally told Jude about these consequences. Did he not tell you at all?” After Xander said that, Mom’s mind went blank. Dad’s face immediately turned pale. H

She stood up abruptly and looked angry. “He’s doing this on purpose!” Mom said through clenched teeth. “He’s scaring us on purpose. “Why is he so stubborn? It’s just a misunderstanding, and he’s throwing a tantrum.“Sure, suit himself. If he wants to leave, I hope he never returns.” Even though she was cursing like that, when she mentioned the fact that I may not return, a hint of worry still flashed in her eyes. Dad’s expression sank. He grabbed his car key and prepared to head out. “I’m going to look for him. “He ca

    The impact left me with numbing pain on my tailbone.I did not know what was happening. “Daphne, what money?” Daphne looked anxious, as her voice kept shaking. “I’ve spent most of my savings from my work these few years to pay for your medical bill. But the fifty thousand dollars that I saved up was meant for my further studies overseas.“It’s all gone now!“I can give you whatever you want, but please give me back my fifty thousand dollars.”By the very end, Daphne sounded like she was begging. Upon seeing that, Mom and Dax immediately went to comfort Daphne. Dad forcefully dragged me to the side with a darkened expression. It seemed like he was suppressing his anger, but he still sounded calm. “Jude, the last time your mother said to stop your physiotherapy. No matter how angry you are over it, you can’t take Daphne’s money.”Sweat broke out on my forehead from anxiety. “Dad, I didn’t. I really didn’t take Daphne’s money.” I could hear Daphne’s sneer. “I didn
