Chapter 278
Bella‘s POV By the time I arrived at the hospital, Joey‘s mother had passed away. I held the crying Joey in my arms and comforted her, “Auntie has left, She must want you to live a good life.”
Joey hugged me and sobbed. “Actually, my mother has been ill for so long, and I‘m mentally prepared. Maybe one day she‘ll leave. The worst thing I‘m experiencing now is that terrible brother of mine. When my mother was alive, he never came to visit her. Now that she‘s dead, I called him, but he told me that he didn‘t have time and wanted me to deal with the funeral by myself! He‘s the worst brother in the world. My mother wouldn‘t close her eyes when she couldn‘t hold on. She wanted to see my brother for the last time...” At this point, Joey was still crying. “God will punish him to go to hell. You don‘t have to be angry about this kind of person. What matters now is to settle your mother‘s funeral. You must be strong, okay?” I comforted her. “I know. Bella, you must help me. My mind is in a mess. I don‘t know what to do.” Joey held my hand and said.
“Don‘t worry. I‘ll be with you these days.” I nodded seriously. I did what I said. After all, the most urgent thing now was to help Joey to arrange her mother‘s funeral. As for moving out of Klein‘s house, it could only be settled after. Fortunately, I had Jane to take care of Lucky, so I had time to help Joey.
Three days later, Joey and I took care of her mother‘s funeral.
All the expenses for medical expenses, cremation, and burial were paid by Joey alone. Her brother only shed a few tears hypocritically during the funeral After the funeral, I left with Joey. I didn‘t expect her hateful brother and sister–in–law to stop us! “What do you want to do?” Joey‘s voice had been hoarse for the past two days, so she was weak. “What do I want? Is it over after mother‘s funeral? Shouldn‘t you tell me something?” Joey‘s sister–in law put her hands on her hips like a madman. “What‘s there to say? Do you want to tell us how much we spent on the hospital bills and creation? Do you want to pay? Well, Joey, give them all the bills and calculate how much money they should pay you!” I shouted to Joey‘s brother and sister–in–law. Joey‘s sister–in–law spat at me. “Bah! Who are you? What right do you have to meddle in our family‘s affairs?”
At this moment, Joey reached out and pulled me aside. “Tell me, what exactly do you want me to tell you?”
“Mom has a few hundred dollars. She has a pair of gold earrings on her ear and a gold necklace on her neck. Your brother has the right to inherit the inheritance!” Joey‘s sister–in–law shouted arrogantly.
Hearing this, I rolled my eyes.
