8 Chapters

Chapter 1

My wife, Zoey Watts, froze.My late mother had been a renowned psychic in our village, and she'd appeared in our dreams twice since passing.The first time, she warned me not to leave the house. I listened, and the next day, the bus I was supposed to take plunged off a cliff, leaving no survivors.The second time, she told us to move overnight. We didn't hesitate, and the next morning, a landslide wiped out the village. We were among the few who made it out alive.This third time, she insisted I leave all five million dollars to our eldest daughter, Jayda Dawson.Ignoring her the first two times meant certain death. If I ignored her this time, I couldn't help but feel that something terrible would happen.Zoey looked torn. "Your mom's dreams are never wrong. But Jayda is such an ungrateful brat! If we give her everything, it'll break Caleb's heart. It'll ruin our family!"Whether I listened to Mom or not, we were already caught in a dead end.My brows furrowed as my pen hovered

Chapter 2

Jayda had married the richest man in town, Nathan Stewart.After a two-hour bus ride, Zoey and I finally reached the main gates of their neighborhood, only to be stopped by the security guard.I offered him a cigarette. "Young man, we're Jayda Dawson's parents."After taking the cigarette, the guard quickly dialed Jayda's number.Zoey and I picked up our bags, ready to walk in, when the guard's expression suddenly soured. "Hold it right there! Get the hell back to whatever hillbilly town you came from! Ms. Dawson said she doesn't even know you!"I could barely believe my ears. I watched in disbelief as the guard threw the cigarette I had just given him onto the ground and crushed it under his boot.Flushed with embarrassment, I called Jayda myself. I tried several times, but it went straight to voicemail.Passersby began to point and stare.Drenched in sweat from the sheer humiliation, Zoey pulled at my arm to leave.But as we turned around, we ran right into Nathan.I instin

Zoey waved her hand impatiently. "I don't buy it. Whatever it is can wait. I need to call Caleb right now and tell him to stop doing dangerous work for cash."She was right, so I kept my mouth shut.But the moment Caleb picked up, Zoey's face turned white, and she bolted upright. "What did you just say?"My heart instantly leaped into my throat. "What's wrong?"Zoey's lips trembled, and it took her forever to squeeze out a single sentence. "Caleb's in trouble."My mind went completely blank. I snatched the phone from her hand.It wasn't Caleb on the line but a construction foreman. "Your son fell off the scaffolding and broke his neck. He's in the ER right now. You need to scrape up the medical fees immediately, or he isn't going to make it."A wave of dizziness hit me.Large wire transfers had to be done at the bank.I dragged Zoey off the bus immediately, but as soon as my foot hit the pavement, I tripped and cracked my head hard against the curb.Everything went black.Wh

"That's… Henry, what are you trying to say? What does this have to do with saving Caleb?" Zoey asked.What I held in my hand was a roll of loose change, with coins of various denominations.As she stared at me in utter confusion, I explained, "Jayda slipped this into my pocket when we were at her house earlier when I wasn't looking."If she really were a heartless parasite, why would she secretly give me money? There's only one explanation. She was only pretending to be heartless because she had no other choice!"Don't you think it's bizarre how she's been demanding the inheritance non-stop these past few days? Someone might be threatening her, forcing her to extort us!"Zoey knitted her brows tightly. She stayed silent for a few seconds before her voice rose again, frantic as ever. "Even if that's true, it's still no reason to let Caleb die!"I shook my head. "Neither of us noticed that Jayda was in danger. Yet Mom somehow knew, and she came to my dream to tell us to give Jayda

Chapter 5

The phone slipped from Zoey's hand and clattered to the floor with a clack.Her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed.My head throbbed, and the crowd erupted into a flurry of accusations."Your son is dead because of you, and now your wife has fainted. Are you happy now?""Did your mother happen to mention this part in your dream?"I scrambled to give Zoey some water and wipe down her face. It took over ten minutes for her to slowly come around.The moment she opened her eyes, she used every ounce of her strength to slap me across the face.Then, she started looking around frantically for a knife, screaming that she wanted to kill me and make me pay for Caleb's life.I grabbed her wrists. "Zoey, I don't think Caleb is dead."Zoey looked at me like I had lost my mind. "What did you just say?"I took a few deep breaths to steady myself before explaining, "While you were out, I went through Caleb's Instagram. I noticed the lottery shop owner's son had liked one of his posts!"Ev

Chapter 6

But under the white sheet, Caleb's face was ash-gray, and his body was completely motionless.Zoey's hands trembled as she reached out and held them beneath Caleb's nose.One second. Two seconds. Three seconds…Her knees gave out, and she collapsed heavily onto the floor. "Caleb… is really dead… You said he wouldn't die! You said he was faking it! You said your mom adored him and wouldn't make things up in your dream! But now my son is gone. Give him back to me!"Completely hysterical, Zoey wailed and pounded her fists against my chest.My mind spun like a tangled mess of yarn.How could this have happened?If Mom hadn't appeared in that dream, I would have paid for the surgery instantly, and Caleb would be alive.But now…Had Mom's warning just been complete nonsense? But she had no reason to sabotage her grandson.Overcome by grief, Zoey looked like she was about to faint from crying.Gritting my teeth, I pulled out my phone and shot a text to Jayda.Seeing our chat, Zoey

Chapter 7

Zoey's face turned red from fury. "What kind of nonsense are you spouting now? Caleb is already dead!"Just as the words left her mouth, Jayda waved at us from inside a cafe.Zoey looked like she was about to suffer a stroke. "Are you telling me this ungrateful brat can bring Caleb back from the dead?"I nodded and walked over to Jayda, sliding the pre-prepared asset transfer agreement right in front of her. "Jayda, the moment you sign this, the five million dollars will be yours."Jayda's face split into a massive grin. "Wow, who knew you actually had that much cash? If you'd given it to me earlier, maybe I could've saved Caleb's life. Too bad he has already kicked the bucket!"Zoey snatched the paperwork away. "Henry Dawson! Our son is about to be cut open by surgeons! You're not going to save him, and you're handing the cash over to this ingrate?"Before I could answer, Jayda burst out laughing. "Oh, I heard about Caleb. Mom, don't be so worked up. He's dead anyway. It's not l

Chapter 8

I opened my phone with a hint of excitement. "That's exactly what makes Mom's warning so incredible! I knew she wouldn't insist on giving everything to Jayda without a good reason."That day, I used the excuse of handing over the five million dollars to lure Jayda to that cafe, but I had already contacted the police. The officers were monitoring her from a distance. As expected, they noticed something unusual about her."When they stormed the place and took Jayda in for a medical exam, they discovered several microchips implanted inside her body! Following that lead, the police uncovered that Nathan had been controlling Jayda from the shadows the entire time!"After a pause, I continued, "He put on that warm, loving act for us, but behind closed doors, he was forcing Jayda to extort money from us. Whenever she didn't cooperate, he would use a remote control to trigger the chips and shock her."Once Jayda was rescued, I followed Mom's instructions and transferred the full five milli
