NovelOnlineChapter 1299:
“I'm not paying for your treatment,” she snapped at Alec. “You've got ssavings, use them. If you don’t, I'll
stop looking after you altogether.”
Ruby’s grip clamped tightly around Alec’s wrist as she forced his hand toward the phone to enter the unlock
code.
Rage burned in Alec’s chest. His savings were barely enough to get by, and the thought of handing them over to
Ruby was unacceptable. He knew she'd only make his life harder if she got her hands on his money.
Ruby’s eyes narrowed with venom. “So, you're really not going to givethe money? Fine, starve to death
then. Tell me, who else in this world would even bother with you anymore except me? You've been lying here for
a whole day and night without a bite. | bet you're about ready to chew your own arm off now.”
Since Ruby stormed out just before noon the day before, no one had bothered to check on Alec. Hunger gnawed
at him relentlessly, and he was sitting in his own waste. The foul smell made his stomach turn.
Not one of his children had shown their face. He'd called them again and again, but no one answered. Rosie had
also ignored his calls.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt finally hit him. Family couldn't be trusted, and neither could the children he'd once counted on.
Ruby stood over his bed with her arms folded, staring down at him. She might have been cold and sharp-
tongued, but at least she'd shown up.
“Ill give the money to you...” Alec’s voice cracked as he gave in. If he didn’t do this, he'd starve, and it was only
a matter of hours before the hospital kicked him out for not paying his bills.
“That's what | thought. Now listen—hand over every last cent, and sign the house over to me. If you don’t, I'm
done taking care of you,” Ruby said.
Tears spilled down Alec's face, soaking his pillow. He'd spent his whole life plotting and clawing for advantage,
only to end up in this pathetic state. Fortunately, Ruby cleaned up his mess, changed his bedding, and put him in
a diaper.

She even fed him a meal.
When Ruby opened Alec’s account and saw a million sitting there, her temper flared.
So, he'd been hiding money from her. And not just pocket change, real money. She wasn’t about to let him keep
a dnow.
Without wasting another second, she transferred every last cent into her own account and shoved the phone at
Alec for facial recognition.
Alec opened his mouth to object, his words slurred. But Ruby knew what he was trying to say. He didn’t want her
to take all his money.
“All of your money is mine, you hear me? Every cent. If you don’t give it to me, you might as well get ready to
die. No one’s going to feed you. No one’s going to clean you up,” Ruby said with venom, shoving the phone in his
face to catch the scan.
Alec tried twisting his head to the side, refusing to meet the camera, but the fight drained out of him. In the end,
he allowed the transfer.
Just like that, over a million was gone from his account and sitting comfortably in Ruby's, leaving him stripped of
everything.
Ruby, satisfied with the extra money in her account, was now in a good mood. She ordered the dish Alec loved
most and took her tfeeding it to him. Even as he chewed, Alec’s mind was restless. A gnawing fear told him
Ruby would take the money and vanish, leaving him to wait for his death.
