4 A Man's Dignity

"Wayne, you shouldn't have been so impulsive just now..."

In the car, Susanna looked worriedly at Wayne as she spoke.

Before she could finish, Wayne interrupted her and consoled her, "Mom, don't worry. It'll be fine."

Susanna knew that her son had only said this because he was afraid that she would be worried, so she could not put her heart at ease.

Moreover, she realized that Wayne was a little different now. In the past, not only did he not have such great strength, but his personality was also not so impulsive. She even suspected that it was because she had been sick for so long that she had given Wayne too much pressure, causing his personality to become like this.

Wayne brought his mother home, took some things that he thought were important, and left.

After all, he had offended the Johnson family, and he didn't know when they would come to him.

Even though Wayne was not afraid, he still had his mother and wife, so he would not take any risks if he could.

Susanna knew that her son was doing this to avoid the Johnson family, so she naturally didn't object. The two of them rented a small house in the north of the city.

After settling down, Wayne spent the next few days studying the divine doctor's abilities. Asclepius was the son of Apollo, the sun god. Other than medical skills, he was also proficient in all kinds of secret arts. It wasn't an overstatement to say that Wayne had undergone a tremendous change during this period.

On this day, he had just finished his cultivation when he received a call from his wife, Lisa.

After picking up the phone, Lisa's cold voice came from the other side, "Where have you been these days? Why haven't you returned home?"

Wayne had been immersed in his training for the past few days. He then remembered that his wife and her family had returned from their trip to China. He quickly explained, "I'm sorry, Lisa, I just..." he said.

Lisa did not give Wayne a chance at all. She interrupted him, "If you really don't want to stay in my house, then please tell me. Don't just leave without a word. I will never let you stay. You should be glad that it wasn't my mother who called you. If it was her, I don't think you would be so calm."

"I'm really sorry," said Wayne. "My mother has just been discharged from the hospital and is still very weak, so I found a place to take care of her."

Although Lisa's tone wasn't very good, Wayne wasn't angry.

In the years they had been married, Lisa's family had always looked down on Wayne because her family was better off.

In addition, he had to take care of his sick mother, so Wayne had not gone out to find a job. He did not have any achievements, which led to Lisa's family looking down on him even more.

Although Lisa was a little disappointed in him, Wayne knew that she still cared about him and his mother. Otherwise, she would not have helped him pay for his mother's medical expenses.

Now that he had inherited the divine doctor's legacy, Wayne believed that he would be able to make some achievements and not disappoint Lisa.

Lisa's anger seemed to have subsided after hearing Wayne's words. She asked directly, "Tell me where you are, I'll go find you now."

Wayne thought that she was coming to pick him up. He was even more touched and quickly told her the address.

Not long after, a Raxus stopped in front of Wayne's rented house.

An extremely beautiful woman got out of the car.

However, her expression was cold, as if she was about to freeze someone to death.

She was Wayne's wife, Lisa.

She took a look at Wayne's little rented house and frowned. "Why didn't you rent a better house? A good environment will be good for your mother's recovery. "

Wayne shrugged and spread his hands. "I have no choice, this is all I have."

Lisa shook her head and didn't say anything else. She took out some bottles from the car. They were all supplements like vitamins. She also took out a black card. "There's 50,000 dollars in this card. Take it. These supplements are for your mother."

"No need, my mother doesn't need to undergo surgery. The money that was transferred last time is still there." Wayne gratefully refused.

Although Lisa looked cold on the outside, her actions showed that she was quite good to his mother and him.

Lisa didn't care so much and stuffed it directly into Wayne's hands. "Don't think about your dignity as a man here. If you really had other ways, you wouldn't have been a failure all these years and be looked down upon by my family."

Lisa's words were full of sarcasm, but it couldn't be helped. This was the truth.
