Love is unrequited ch 14

 

 

David and my mother had heard this 

countless times before, through years of 

seeking treatment. But they were desperate

resorting to pushing and shoving me

How can you be so cruel?! You’re going to 

let her die?!” 

I told you she’s always been jealous of Lily

She’ll never help her!” 

You call yourself a doctor? You can’t even 

save your own family! You’re selfish! You 

don’t deserve to be a doctor!” 

My favored status with the professor had 

always attracted resentment. Now, the 

hallway outside was filled with onlookers

eager to see me fall from grace

I slapped David hard, his cheek swelling 

instantly. The crowd, including my mother, fell 

silent

Selfish? Cruel? Jealous of Lily?I said, my 

voice trembling with rage. “You said Lily was 

J, so I gave her my room and slept in the 

maid’s quarters. You said she needed more 

care, so I walked to school alone from the 

age of seven. You said she needed expensive 

treatments, so I lived off scholarships, never 

asking for a penny. Lily sneezes, and the 

whole family rushes her to the hospital. I had 

a 103degree fever and no one cared.” 

You only went to Lily’s parentteacher 

conferences. You only remembered Lily’s 

birthday. My whole life, I had to give her 

whatever she wanted. I even gave up my 

parents! What more could I have done? Yes

she’s had a hard life, but I didn’t kill her 

parents! I didn’t give her a disease!” 

You say I don’t deserve to be a doctor?

paid for every single textbook myself. I got 

into medical school on my own merit. I found 

my own mentor. You haven’t shown a shred 

of concern for me in years! You have no right 

to call yourself a mother!” 

Years of pentup pain poured out. The 

onlookers, initially judgmental, now directed 

their disapproval at David and my mother. My 

mother looked years older, the realization of 

her profound unfairness finally hitting her

The catharsis left me feeling strangely light.

called security and had them escorted out

The hospital returned to its usual quiet hum

but from that day on, my colleagues regarded 

me with a newfound respect.
