Brenna said, “Alec, you really have snerve. Do you remember how you keptout of school as a kid,
forcingto stay home, sketching blueprints and making money for you? | will remember that forever. Renting
a place for you is as far as my help goes. If you want a house, keep hoping. You still have your own children; ask
them for a house.”
“I tried, but all I got were insults and bruises. They droveaway! That's why | cto you. Would you really
letlive on the street?” Alec asked angrily, sensing that Brenna also did not want to help him.
“Try taking your children to court. The law will force them to support you financially,” Brenna said coolly, her
tone flat. Her gaze slid to her grandmother, who stayed silent through it all. “Grandma, I've still got work to
handle. Ill visit you tomorrow.”
She didn’t want to waste another second on Alec.
A heavy sigh left Joann, but she didn’t speak up for her son.
“Go on, young people like you always have things to do. | will not keep you,” she said.
Alec watched Brenna enter the elevator from the doorway before finally giving up.
He wasted no treturning to the room and confronting Joann, saying, “You know she respects you. If you'd just

word from you, and I'd have a house by now.”
Joann had expected him to say this. He had been selfish since childhood, always thinking only of himself.
She said, “I am over eighty now, and | do not have many years left. | cannot help you with your problems. You
need to solve them yourself. Didn't Brenna offer to rent you a place and cover the rent for the first few months?
Isn’t that enough?”
Discontent twisted Alec’s features. “That's nowhere near enough. All she’s offering is a rental and a few months”

“I'm content at the nursing home. | enjoy my freedom. If you want Brenna to give you a house, talk to her on
your own; | won't be dragged into it,” Joann replied coldly.
Hearing that, Alec stormed out, his anger written all over his face.

Nearby, Gia scoffed inwardly. She thought that both Alec and Joann were selfish.
Left alone, Joann muttered under her breath, “He spent years mistreating and using Brenna. Now that age and
poverty have caught up with him, he wants to take advantage of her again. But she has grown up, and he can’t
push her around anymore. He deserves his present misery.”
Alec lingered just outside the hospital's entrance, watching strangers pass him by, swallowed by the feeling that
he’d been abandoned by everyone.
