When I was five years old, my parents divorced and I chose to stay with my father. Two years later, I had a car accident that left me paralyzed.
Because of this, my father resented me and saw me as a burden, so he abandoned me at my mother’s doorstep.
Thankfully, my mother never rejected me. ?She took care of me for twenty years, even though I was paralyzed.
To pay for my medical bill, she worked three jobs a day and even fainted several times due to exhaustion.
Finally, his second husband could not bear it. “f you keep taking care of your daughter, we’re getting divorced!”
Without hesitation, Mom divorced him.
Her maternal love moved the entire internet, earning her the title of “The Greatest Mother in the Country.”
Everyone envied me for having such a wonderful mother, until I won the lottery and received a prize of one and a half million dollars, which I gave to the same father who had abandoned me.
The entire internet condemned me as an ungrateful bastard.
A reporter came and interviewed me, “You’ve been paralyzed for twenty years. Your father never cared for you for a single day. It was your mother who never left your side, caring for you and drowning in debt because of you. Why won’t you give her a single penny?”
I looked at the reporter and said calmly, Install hidden cameras in my home and livestream secretly for three days. Then you’ll understand the reason.”
——
The moment the hidden cameras were set up, the secret livestream began in real time.
My mother dragged her tired body from work. With a hunched body, she went to my bed, ready to wash me.
When she saw the filth beneath me, her eyes held no trace of disgust—only heartache and guilt.
“Kelly, did you have diarrhea last night?”
She touched my forehead and said guiltily, “I’m sorry. It’s all because Mom’s been working too hard lately. I slept so deeply I forgot to get up and cover you properly in the middle of the night. You must have been uncomfortable all night ….”
I just looked at her, without saying anything.
Meanwhile, comment after comment filled the livestream comment section.
[Oh my, this mom is incredible! She just got home from work, saw this mess and her first thought was to blame herself?]
[Yeah, if I get tired from work for a day and come home to see this scene, I will be furious!]
[She deserves to be the greatest mother in the country and she made me cry!]
My mother didn’t know that there was an invisible live broadcast at home, so she just helped me turn over and took me to the bathroom to take a shower.
But she was old and exhausted, so even though she used all her strength, she could not lift me off the bed.
Just then, a knock sounded at the door.
Mom opened it and froze when she saw Dad standing there. “What are you doing here?”
Dad held a bag of luggage and said nonchalantly, “If I recall correctly, when we divorced, we transferred this apartment to our daughter’s name. As her father, coming to stay at my own daughter’s place for a few days, shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
After saying that, he pushed his way inside.
My mother was too exhausted after a long day and too tired to argue, so she simply said, “Then help me carry Kelly to the bathroom. I need to bathe her!”
Dad glanced at me and said in disgust, “Ugh, so disgusting. She reeks of poop and pee. There’s no way I’m touching her!”
Mom frowned. “Liam O’Hara! Kelly is your daughter! She just gave you the entire one and a half million dollars lottery prize money. How can you refuse to help her?”
Dad snorted coldly. “She gave me that money willingly. You think you can morally blackmail me now?”
Mom sighed. “Whatever Kelly decides, I respect it. She gave you all that money because she hoped you’d finally settle down and live a good life.”
“She’s been so devoted to you—can’t you be a little kinder to her?”
My dad sneered, “What good is being nice to her? She’s just a useless cripple who’s been paralyzed for twenty years!”
“I don’t get why you bother taking care of this dead weight every day. You might as well just let her die!”
The live comments instantly exploded.
[Holy crap, is this guy even human? Cursing his own daughter to death right in front of her?]
[And the worst part? His daughter still treats this bastard father like royalty! She even gave him one and a half million dollars without blinking to this monster!]
[What was she thinking? Her mother spent twenty years caring for her, racking up mountains of debt, even sacrificing her marriage—and got nothing in return. Is this daughter crazy?]
[She doesn’t appreciate such a great mom, but instead she is devoted to this inhumane bastard of a father! Did her paralysis damage her brain too?]
In the end, Dad never helped.
It took my mother more than an hour to clean me up.
Sweating profusely from exhaustion, she still carefully dressed me in clean clothes and settled me into the wheelchair.
“You must be hungry, right? I’ll cook for you right now.”
Overwhelmed by exhaustion, Mom nearly fainted when she stood up. But after just a few seconds of rest, she forced herself to walk into the kitchen.
Soon, she brought out steamed fish, braised pork belly, stir-fried vegetables and a pot of steaming hot chicken soup.
Mom put the dishes in front of me, scooped up a spoonful of chicken soup, gently blew on it to cool it down and brought it to my lips.
“I specially bought a fresh free-range chicken from the farm today to make this soup. You loved it when you were little. Try some.”
Mom’s eyes were filled with worry. “Kelly, you’re already suffering from diarrhea. If you don’t eat something to nourish your energy, your body won’t be able to handle it.”
I looked at her, my tone still indifferent. “I have no appetite.”
Then I turned to my dad, who was lying on the couch playing on his phone and said softly, “Dad, I want that bread on the coffee table.”
Without even looking up, he said impatiently, “That’s mine, I bought it myself. If you want one, push your wheelchair and go buy it yourself.”
Mom shot Dad a glare before turning to me and saying gently, “Kelly,?eat your meal first. After you finish, I’ll go buy you some bread, okay?”
I stubbornly shook my head, refusing to eat her cooking.
Seeing this, the live comment blew up again.
[Is this girl crazy? She won’t eat the food her mom made, but insists on her dad’s bread!]
[I thought she was just confused, but this is beyond ridiculous. After everything her dad did to her, she still craves his stuff?]
[I pity her mother! After being so busy and cooking all day, it was all for nothing. She had carefully prepared a table of food, but she didn’t even look at it.]
[Disgusting! The more I look at it, the more I feel that this daughter is trash!]
The first day’s livestream ended with the chat section flooded with insults directed at me.
The next day, Mom got off work a little earlier than usual.
When she walked in, she was carrying a warm bag.
“Kelly, didn’t you want to eat bread yesterday? I went to buy them after work. It’s your favorite, with meat filling. Come and try one.”
I looked at the bread and said indifferently, “I don’t want to eat it now.”
A flicker of disappointment and sadness crossed Mom’s face, but she forced a smile.
“Then what do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you.”
I gave her a cold stare. “I don’t want to eat anything you make.”
Then, I maneuvered my wheelchair toward the balcony for some fresh air.
The moment I stepped out of the room, I collided head-on with Dad, who was drinking straight from a bottle and I knocked the bottle and it fell on the floor.
Dad was furious. “Damn it! Don’t you have eyes? You spilled all my good liquor I had just brought!”
He picked up the bottle and kicked my wheelchair hard. The chair jolted violently and tilted to the side.
“Kelly!”
My mother screamed, rushed over and quickly shielded me and the wheelchair with her own body.
The wheel scraped her hand and blood gushed out of it,?leaving a deep gash that nearly exposed the bone.
Ignoring the pain, she steadied me before turning to Dad, still shaken and roared furiously, “Liam! You almost hurt your daughter!”
Dada glared at me. “Why are you so worked up? She’s paralyzed and can’t even feel any pain.”
“Dammit! All that fine liquor wasted because of her!” Cursing under his breath, he stumbled back into his room to continue drinking.
Though still shaken and her hand was in pain, Mom checked me up and down first to make sure I was okay. Only after confirming I was fine did she begin to inspect the kicked wheelchair.
When she found that one of the fasteners had loosened, she immediately fetched the toolbox and carefully tightened it—bit by bit—until late at night.
Meanwhile, in the livestream chat, comments kept pouring in.
[I’m crying so hard! Where can I find such a good mother? Even though her hand was badly injured, all she worried about was her daughter.]
[The real question is, why does such a wonderful mom have to suffer such bad luck, having a heartless, blind, ungrateful daughter?]
[Exactly! Is this daughter’s heart made of stone? Her mom has done so much for her, so why is she so cold toward her own mother?]
[No wonder they say those who are pitiful always have something hateful about them. This girl favors her father to such a point of madness, serves her right, she’s paralyzed!]
[This is too much and suffocating! Mom, let her go! Such a daughter is not worth it!]
The live chat was flooded with criticism. Even reporters called me.
“Is this the three-day secret livestream you wanted? Do you have any idea how much the chat has been scolding you in the past two days?”
“Your mother’s gone above and beyond for you. Are you deliberately asking to be scolded?”
I glanced toward the living room, where my mother sat alone, tending to her wound. Then I said with a calm voice, “There’s still one more day left. By then, you’ll understand everything.”
Early on the third morning, right after she woke up, Mom came to my room like always.
.
“Kelly, how are you feeling today? Do you have a better appetite?”
She checked my condition with practiced ease while asking softly.
I didn’t answer, only glancing indifferently at her bandaged hand. Blood was still seeping from it.
Seeing my silence, my mother massaged my limbs as usual, moved my joints and prevented muscle atrophy. Her movements were gentle, as if tending to her most precious treasure.
“Kelly, look how beautiful the weather is today. After breakfast, how about I push you outside for a walk? ?The doctor said that having more outdoor activity will be good for you.”
She looked out the window, trying to find something to talk about.
I remained indifferent. “Don’t want to.”
She paused for a moment and said nothing.
After the massage, she fetched warm water, carefully washed my face and hands, then prepared my meal.
The live stream comments continued to roll.
[That daughter is still acting miserable today. I’m so angry seeing her.]
[That’s true. Her mother’s hands are badly injured and she still has to take care of her. Can’t she even say one word of concern?]
[It’s so disgusting. Some people just don’t deserve kindness!]
That day, Mom didn’t go to work. She said she wanted to spend quality time with me.
After she finished doing her chore, she pushed me out to the balcony to bask in the sun.
She combed my hair, trimmed my nails and cleaned my ears, making sure that every inch of my body was clean.
When she was done, she pulled up a small stool beside me, held my hand tightly and began to speak in a low voice.
“Kelly, do you remember when you were a child, you loved pulling me to sit on the balcony and bask in the sun. You said that your mood would get better after basking in the sun.”
“We were poor back then, but you always said that as long as Mom and Dad were by your side, you felt incredibly happy.”
“You also said that when you grew up, you’d take Mom around the world…”
Her eyes glistened slightly as she spoke.
Just then, her phone rang.
But she didn’t answer it. Instead, she looked deeply into my eyes, then hung up.
Then she looked at me and smiled, “Kelly, it’s almost time.”
I smiled faintly. This moment had finally arrived.
After saying that, Mom stood up and glanced at me with an expression that I could not understand. Then she made a move that caught every viewer in the live stream completely off guard ….
