Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 355

Chapter 355: Chapter 355: Seeking Refuge

Seeing the defensiveness and refusal in his mother’s eyes, Cameron Summers felt an unbearable ache in his heart.

His voice trembling, he pleaded with his mother, "Mom, I know I’ve made you suffer all these years. It’s all my fault, but I’ve really changed... I’m not asking you to forgive me right now. I’m just begging you to take us in for a few months. Just a few months will be enough."

"I didn’t want to trouble you, really. But the house we were living in got buried by the heavy snow, and our supplies have been cut off for days. I had no other choice, which is why I came to you for help!"

"Even if you don’t care whether I live or die, please, at least save Clark. No matter what, he’s still your own grandson!"

At this, Clark Summers also looked up, staring pleadingly at his grandmother.

He was fifteen or sixteen, but he looked unusually frail due to long-term malnutrition. Frost clung to his long eyelashes, and his lips were covered in chapped wounds that were still bleeding.

Seeing this, the grandmother’s heart ached with pity. Cameron Summers might be a monster, but Clark was truly innocent. For a moment, she was torn.

Just then, Melody Summers walked out.

She took her grandmother’s hand and said softly, "Grandma, it’s cold outside. Let Uncle Cameron and the others come in first."

The grandmother looked at Melody, a flicker of hesitation in her eyes, but when she thought of Clark, she finally nodded.

She sighed softly and turned to Cameron Summers and his family. "Fine. You can come in first, and we’ll talk."

Hearing this, Cameron Summers was overcome with joy. He shot Melody Summers a grateful look before leading his family into the house.

...

As soon as Cameron Summers and his family stepped inside, a wave of warmth washed over them.

Cameron Summers sighed in relief. "It’s so warm in here... We were about to freeze solid outside."

Seeing Grace Sutton and Miss Lowell in the living room, Cameron Summers quickly greeted them, "Grace! Miss Lowell! You’re both here... It’s been a long time."

Miss Lowell smiled and returned the greeting.

Grace Sutton stared at their blood-crusted lips and said in surprise, "Oh my, how did you get so frozen? Are you all right?"

Cameron Summers shook his head with an awkward smile. "We’re fine, we’re fine."

The three of them had been so cold outside that they’d gone numb, and they couldn’t even feel the pain from their chapped wounds anymore.

Their clothes were soaked through with melted snow. Seeing the cream-colored sofa in the living room, they looked hesitant and didn’t dare to sit on it, choosing instead to sit down on the carpet.

Watching her uncle’s family act so cautiously, Melody Summers lowered her gaze, her feelings complicated.

’In my memory, my uncle had been a decent person when he first came home, but ever since he got hooked on online gambling, it was like he’d become someone else entirely...’

’Not only did he squander all the family’s savings, but he also racked up huge online debts from all sorts of platforms, both legitimate and shady.’

’He didn’t just use his own ID to take out loans; he secretly used his family members’ IDs as well.’

’Winnie, Colin, and Grandma couldn’t escape either. He stole their IDs and took out large loans in their names. To pay back those debts, the Summers family had to endure a very difficult time.’

’When I was just reborn and started stockpiling supplies, I never even considered taking out an online loan to buy things, even when I was short on cash.’

’The reason was simple: my uncle’s debts had left such a deep impression on me that I had a profound, deep-seated aversion to online loans.’

’I still remember how Winnie, afraid that the overdue loans in her name would ruin my future by affecting her credit score, tearfully sold a shop she had worked so hard to buy in the city...’

’My uncle swore up and down every time that he would quit gambling, but he always went back on his word.’

’Eventually, Grandma, who could no longer tolerate it, kicked him out of the house again.’
