NovelEnglishChapter 1338:
Just then, the sound of the door startled her. Mack stepped inside, his stride unsteady, his eyes restless as if
searching for something. Ruby rushed toward him at once. “Mack, you're finally home.”
A look at him left her stunned. Though it hadn't been long since their last meeting, he seemed like a completely
different man.
He was unshaven, with large dark circles under his eyes. He had lost a lot of weight, and his demeanor was
intimidating, almost hostile.
“What happened to you? Why do you look like this? Are you sick? Cwith me—I’ll take you to the hospital,”
Ruby said.
Mack shoved Ruby aside with irritation. “No need for that. Is there food or not? I'm starving.”
The demand in his tone carried an authority that brooked no refusal.
Ruby quickly pointed toward the table. “I just cooked.”
Without bothering to wash his hands, Mack dropped into a chair and began stuffing food into his mouth.
In no time, he had cleared the plate Isabella had left behind.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThen, he snatched Ruby's plate.
Ruby said worriedly, “How long has it been since you've eaten properly? You shouldn't let yourself starve like
this. If you're hungry, chome, and I'll cook for you...”
Though her chatter grated on him, Mack kept silent and continued eating. Only after half an hour, when his
hunger was satisfied, did he lean back, pat his stomach, and say bluntly, “Mom, I'm broke. Givesome
money.”
The truth was, he had already burned through over a million on drugs, leaving himself penniless and behind on
rent.

Ruby hesitated. She still had ssavings set aside for her old age, but she didn’t want to hand it over to him.
“I don’t have money lying around, Mack. What's been going on with you? Why are you wasting tin those
clubs?” Ruby's voice trembled as she looked at the hardened expression on Mack's face. This wasn’t the son she
remembered—he had once been kind, capable, always smiling. How had he changed so much?
“Give your money tonow!” Mack roared, and Ruby recoiled in fear.
“I swear, | don’t have any money!” Ruby said, refusing to give in.
In a flash, Mack yanked her forward, dug into her pocket, and pulled out her phone.
“What are you doing?” Ruby realized something was wrong—Mack was likely about to transfer her money to
himself. She desperately tried to grab her phone back.
Mack shoved her aside and moved his fingers over the screen.
Ruby staggered against the dining table. Pain shot through her lower back.
“Hand my phone back right now!” she exclaimed.
Reaching out for the phone proved impossible; every movement sent jolts of pain through her body, making her
unable to move.
Mack discovered one of Ruby’s bank accounts had fifty thousand dollars and transferred the money to himself
without hesitation.
Fifty thousand would be enough for him to last a few days.
After tossing the phone onto the table, he turned to leave. But then a sudden wave of discomfort hit him, like
swarms of ants crawling beneath his skin. The sensation raced through him.
His body collapsed onto the floor, curling tightly in agony.
