Chapter 4

As expected, Olivia also slapped me.

I turned my face. After three slaps from Olivia and her mother, my cheek was already slightly swollen and red.

"Adam, are you even human? How dare you curse your own son?"

"Tommy has leukemia, but his condition was stable. It's not at all like what you're saying!"

She really was good at self-deception.

"Olivia, during the time our son was sick in the hospital, how many times did you take care of him? How do you have the face to say such things?"

"Are you blaming me? Everything you ate and used, Tommy's medical expenses, which one wasn't paid for by me?"

"Even the burial plot you bought to curse our son was with my money!"

She always brings this up. I'm too lazy to argue anymore.

"Olivia, if you don't believe me, I don't want to bother anymore. But I bought this plot first."

Olivia's eyes were full of disgust.

"Jack, is it worth being jealous of Buddy? This is also a life! Moreover, it accompanied me and Adam for so many years!"

"Do you have any heart at all? I won't let you have this plot no matter what!"

At this time, the staff and others finally walked over.

I turned and said loudly in front of everyone:

"Please help me find a new plot. Olivia won't allow our son to be buried here."

Olivia's father looked at her with wide eyes.

"Olivia? Didn't you tell your mother you were working overtime? Why are you here? What's going on?"

Olivia avoided her father's direct gaze, explaining nervously:

"Dad, a dog I raised with a friend before died. I took some time off to accompany him in burying the dog."

Olivia's father was indeed angry.

"You have time to bury a dog! Do you know this was bought by Jack for Tommy!"

Olivia was very defiant, "Dad, why are you speaking for Jack! Tommy is alive and well, how could I as his mother agree to buy a burial plot to curse him!"

My mother really couldn't stand it anymore. She held up the memorial photo and cursed:

"Olivia! How dare you call yourself a mother? Are you blind? Can't you see we're all wearing mourning clothes? Tommy passed away three days ago!"

"And you as his mother are busy arranging a funeral for a dog!"

Olivia shook her head, still expressing disbelief. She looked straight at me.

"Interesting. Jack, you actually got the whole family to cooperate in acting out this play. If you can't go on living, let's just get divorced! There's no need to make up such a clumsy lie to anger me!"

"I didn't expect you all to be such shameless people, actually daring to take a memorial photo of my son?"

Then she stared intently at the box in my arms.

"What's in the box you're holding? Don't tell me it's ashes."

After saying that, she snatched the urn of ashes from my arms and scattered them on the spot. Our son's ashes immediately dispersed in the wind.

"Stop pretending with a few handfuls of dirt!"

Olivia's father's voice trembled as he used all his strength to slap Olivia.

"You wretch! You're truly a wretch!"

"You just destroyed the only memento your son left in this world!"

I could no longer hear the calls of those around me. There was only one voice in my mind telling me:

"Our son's ashes are gone. I couldn't preserve his body, and now I couldn't even protect his ashes."

I knelt on the ground and broke down crying.

My parents helped me up, their eyes red.

"Olivia, Jack loves Tommy more than anyone in this world. How could he possibly joke about something like this!"
