Ruby’s stomach dropped. “Mack, what's happening to you?”
She wasn't sure what had cover Mack, but recalling how long he had been fiddling with her phone, she
quickly checked it.
Her heart nearly stopped—the fifty thousand in her account was gone.
She looked at her son, bitterness welling in her eyes.
When he stayed away, life felt lighter. When he cback, it was always about money. She wished he would
stop showing up altogether.
Her eyes turned cold as she watched him writhe. He fumbled out a plastic bag, emptied the white powder into
his mouth, and gradually calmed down. A thought occurred to Ruby as she saw that, and she took two steps
back.
The truth was unbearable. Her son was tangled up in drugs.
Still, she forced concern into her voice as she moved closer to him. “Mack, are you alright?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStaggering to his feet, Mack shoved her aside. “I'm fine.”
Mack couldn’t help but think that fifty thousand dollars would disappear in no time, hardly enough to satisfy him.
He shot a threatening glare at Ruby. “Hand over all the money you've got.”
Ruby had never seen her son look so intimidating. Fear crept in as she took a few steps back, clutching her
pocket tightly. “There's nothing left; I'm broke. Every tyou show up, it’s just to ask for money. Do you ever
think about your father? I'm the one caring for him day in and day out. Do you ever think about him?”
Alec’s voice suddenly cut through the tension from another room, desperate and loud. “Who's out there?
Somebody help! I'm starving in here...”
A heavy thump echoed, as if something had hit the floor. But Ruby’s mind wasn’t on Alec. At this point, all she
cared about was hanging on to her money. She wasn’t about to hand it over to either of her children.

anger as he gritted his teeth. “Send every cent to my account, or | swear I'll kill you!”
A knife appeared in his fist, the blade flashing dangerously as he aimed it at Ruby. “Do it. Now.”
Ruby's voice broke, equal parts hurt and shocked. “I'm your mother! How could you threatenlike this?”
Her heart twisted with pain. She had never imagined her own son would go this far.
“Drop the act. Aren't you my mother? You can’t even givesmoney? When you die, won't all your money
be mine? So stop stalling!” Mack exclaimed. His rage boiled over, and he sent the dining table crashing to the
floor.
Ruby shook with terror. “Mack, | can’t give you my money. Without it, how am | supposed to survive? | am old
and can’t work anymore.”
Mack’s anger exploded. “Of course. It's always about you, isn’t it? You never once cared about me. Selfish to the
end.”
He pulled up the bankingon her phone. With a few taps, he drained her account, transferring every penny
into his own.

“Stay out of my way!” Mack snapped, kicking her.
