Here's the translation of the text into English: --- Not seeking money, true love; after learning that my dad went bankrupt and ran away. In my past life, my dad was hospitalized due to an injury, and my mom and I hired a nurse at a high salary to take care of him. However, the caregiver ended up taking him to bed. When my dad recovered, he bluntly claimed that he had found true love who wasn't interested in money, while my mom and I only knew how to spend money on enjoyment. When the mistress and her daughter moved in, it was only then that my mom discovered that the assets had been completely transferred, leaving us with 200 million in debt. Devastated, my mom jumped from a high building. After performing poorly on the college entrance exam and suffering the loss of my mother, I intended to confront my dad for an explanation, but they beat me to death. In this new life, I returned to the day my dad was injured. This time, I won't spend a single penny; I want to see how his so-called true love, who is beautiful and kind and doesn't care about money, will take care of him.

Chapter 1

True love, or so it was claimed, disappeared as soon as my dad went bankrupt and ran away.

In my previous life, when my dad was hospitalized because of an injury, my mom and I hired a caregiver at a high wage to look after him.

However, the caregiver ended up having an affair with him.

After my dad recovered, he bluntly said that he had encountered true love that didn't care about money. On the contrary, he accused my mom and me of only knowing how to spend money and enjoy ourselves.

When the mistress and her daughter moved into our house and my dad forced us to get a divorce, my mom found out that all the assets had been transferred completely, leaving us with a debt of 200 million dollars.

Devastated, my mom jumped from a tall building.

As for me, having performed poorly in the college entrance examination and suffering from the pain of losing my mother one after another, I wanted to ask my dad for an explanation, only to be beaten to death by his family.

In this new life, I've come back to the day when my dad got injured.

This time, I wouldn't spend a single penny. I was curious to see how his so-called beautiful and kind-hearted true love who didn't care about money would take care of him.

"How is my husband? Is his condition serious?" Hearing the gentle female voice beside my ear, I realized that I had returned to the day when my dad was hospitalized because of his injury.

My kind and gentle mom hadn't yet seen through the true nature of the man beside her pillow and was still worried about her beloved husband.

Little did she know that her husband had already rekindled his old flame with his first love.

Thinking of this, I quickly comforted my mom, "Mom, don't worry. Dad just got injured in a fall, that's all. It's you that I'm worried about. With Dad's accident, your heart condition has relapsed. Go home and rest. I'll take care of things at the hospital."

Regardless of what my mom thought, I managed to persuade her to go home.

In my previous life, when my mom heard about Dad's injury, despite her poor health due to her heart condition, she rushed to the hospital to take care of him.

Eventually, she couldn't hold on any longer and went home to recover. But in Dad's eyes, she was still heartless, only knowing how to spend money at home and not caring about his well-being at all.

Since that's the case, I might as well let Mom go home and rest, which will reinforce Dad's perception.

After finally persuading my mother to go home, I then strolled leisurely to the ward to see my bastard father.

As I reached the door, I realized I was interrupting a tender moment between two lovebirds.

I saw my dad's first love, Luna Green, looking as if she had just lost her husband, saying, "Kevin, my dear, how did you end up like this? It must be so painful."

My dad played along quite well, immediately struggling to sit up to wipe Luna's tears and repeatedly insisting that he was okay.

With a mentality of watching the fun, I leaned against the door and watched this wonderful performance unfold.

I must say, even though Luna was over forty years old, she still had a certain allure.

But Luna's intentions were clearly more than just showing concern; she soon brought up my mom, "Kevin, where's your wife? You're so badly hurt, and she hasn't even come to see you? I heard your wife comes from a wealthy family and has always behaved like a pampered lady. No wonder she can't handle taking care of her husband."

Seeing my dad's face turn darker, she quickly covered her mouth, pretending to be horrified, and said, "Oh, did I say something wrong? Kevin, don't take it to heart."

My dad came from a rural background and was a typical ugly duckling. He had a strong sense of male chauvinism and was extremely self-conscious.

In the past, when my grandparents were alive, he could put on an act, but after they passed away, as the live-in son-in-law, he started to act arrogantly.

He always thought that my mom should regard him as the center of her world. Even the slightest thing could hurt his delicate self-esteem.

After getting injured, he expected my mom to do the caregiver's job, taking care of him around the clock.

"Does he deserve it?"

I didn't care if Luna wanted to flirt with men, but if she dared to make snide remarks about my mom, I would teach her a lesson on how to behave properly. "You're right. My mom comes from a well-off family and doesn't need to take care of her husband by herself. Unlike you, who are so eager to serve someone else's husband just for money."

With that, I walked up to Luna, looking her up and down as if she were a commodity. Then I said, "What, do caregivers nowadays provide such comprehensive services? Do they also offer emotional care? And are they even concerned about other people's husbands' family affairs?"

I admitted that birds of a feather flock together. People like my dad, with his kind of character, found a first love who was just like him. Both of them have egos as fragile as glass.

"Lucien, let's get a divorce," I said in a peremptory tone that was long overdue, the most decisive farewell to this absurd marriage. We had been married for exactly three years-three years that, for me, were filled with nothing but endless loneliness and torment. For three years, the husband who should have stood by my side through every storm, Lucien Sullivan, had completely disappeared from my life as if he had never existed. He vanished without a trace, leaving me alone to endure this empty, desolate marriage. Today, I finally received his message: "I'm back. Come pick me up at the airport." When I read his words, my heart leapt with joy, and I raced to the airport, thinking that he finally understood my love and was coming back to me. But his cruelty was far worse than I could have ever imagined-he was accompanied by a pregnant woman, and that woman was Carla, my closest and most trusted friend. In that moment, all of my previous excitement, all my hope, and all of our shared laughter and tears turned into the sharpest of daggers, stabbing into my heart and leaving me gasping for air. Now, all I want is to escape from this place that has left me so broken-to lick my wounds in solitude. Even if these wounds will remain with me for the rest of my life, I refuse to have anything to do with him ever again. He should know that it was his own hand that trampled our love underfoot, that his coldness and betrayal created this irreparable situation. But when he heard those words, he desperately clung to this broken, crumbling marriage, unwilling to let it end-almost as though doing so could rewind time and return everything to how it used to be. "Aurora, come back. I regret everything!" Regret? Those simple words stirred no emotion in me-only endless sadness and fury. My heart let out a frantic, desperate scream: It's too late for any of this!
