After my dad’s funeral, my brother-in-law boldly declared…

When my mother and sister visited me in the hospital, my sister looked at me coldly and remarked, You’re surprisingly resilient, aren’t you? I couldn’t help but think that if I had been seriously injured, my mother would have inherited everything. Too bad for you, I said with a smirk. My sister visibly tensed.

You were counting on it, weren’t you? I noticed her discomfort as she looked away. Well, mom told me she plans to waive her inheritance from me, so causing such an accident was pointless. My sister seemed taken aback by this revelation.

It appeared incomprehensible to her that someone would refuse what they could inherit. I have a wife and kids, so mom asked me to pass it on to them. That’s what parents do.

But, but, my sister stuttered. I even made a will early on, following dad’s example. I continued, leaving my sister speechless.

So unfortunately, my share won’t be going to mom anymore. My sister trembled and shook as she stared at me. Can’t you at least give me some? There’s five million dollars, right? When I firmly refused, my sister’s face contorted into a furious expression as she grabbed my collar.

Give me half. I’m your sister. I regarded her with pity as she continued to scream in an unsettling tone, perhaps driven to madness by the prospect of the inheritance.

Don’t you realize that your greediness would disappoint, dad? My sister’s face flushed with anger as she reached for my throat. Kelly, what are you doing? My mother returned, her voice raised, as nurses arrived to escort my sister out. Although my mother seemed inclined to defend my sister, it was clear that my sister had directed insults towards her too.

Where did I go wrong in raising her? It was heartbreaking to hear my mother say this with sadness in her voice. Shortly after, my mother fell ill. As her condition worsened, my wife and I stepped in to assist with transportation and household tasks at the family home.

This seemed to upset my sister, likely because she had encountered my wife during her visits to ask for money or had heard about our help from our mother. One day, my sister called me abruptly. From now on, we’ll take care of mom.

You two don’t need to come, she declared. What’s this all about? I tried to reason with her, but my sister didn’t listen and hung up, claiming it was already decided. I confirmed with my wife, who had received the same message and been dismissed.

Concerned about my sister’s lack of experience in caregiving or household duties, I quickly reached out to my mother. Surprisingly, my brother-in-law had some caregiving experience. At that point, my mother was still quite independent, so it seemed manageable for the time being…
