Asked father for help but got kicked out

"Two hundred thousand dollars is needed for treatment."

Since hearing that sentence, Axelion immediately felt helplessly weak. He asked himself "Where can I get that money for Mom's recovery? The time given is not much, because Mom's condition is getting worse,"

Axelion got off the public transportation that took him to Jhon's house with his first wife and his son George.

They lived in a luxurious house, while Axelion and Valerie only lived in a very small house.

Valerie, Axelion's mother, was married to Jhon because Alice, his first wife, wanted them to have a child but after spending five years married they were never given a child.

After Valerie became pregnant with Axelion, Jhon received news that Alice was pregnant too. Jhon's family preferred Alice, since then Valerie and Axelion were never considered to exist.

After Axelion was born, none of them cared. But when George was born, everyone welcomed him with great joy.

Despite not being loved, not even considered to exist, Axelion and Valerie never hated Jhon, Alice, George or Jhon's family who loved to insult them.

Axelion and Valerie also struggled to survive without Jhon's help. But this time, Axelion wanted to ask his wealthy father to give him money. Although there had to be something in return, Axelion didn't mind. The most important thing for him was to get money for his mother's treatment.

With the courage he forced for the sake of his mother's recovery, Axelion came to his father's house.

"Can I see Daddy?" Axelion asked the guard at Jhon's house who did not immediately give permission for Axelion to enter the house.

The guard first asked Jhon who happened to be sitting in the family room enjoying a television broadcast.

"Sir, I'm sorry to interrupt,"

"What's wrong?" Jhon asked his bodyguard.

"There's an Axelion outside."

"Axelion? What did he come here for?"

"Axelion didn't say anything, sir. He just wanted to see you,"

"Alright, let him in,"

The bodyguard immediately approached Axelion and allowed him to enter the house. Axelion felt happy, at least he was given a chance to talk to his father.

"What do you want? Why did you come here?" Jhon asked Axelion. Not being greeted, let alone hugged, asked how he was doing, was all too familiar to Axelion.

"Daddy, I want to ask you a favor."

Jhon immediately laughed at Axelion's words. He was quite surprised to hear the words of Axelion, whom he knew to be independent. All this time even though he was not considered Axelion could live only with his mother. But now it was unusual for Axelion to ask for help.

"Daddy, please help me. It's for my Mom, Daddy. I need two hundred thousand dollars for Mom's treatment. Do you want to help me and Mom? I beg you to help me. I'll do whatever it takes to get you to give me the money for Mom's recovery."

Axelion knelt at his father's feet. He begged Jhon to help him.

"Hey poor boy!"

Suddenly there was a loud voice from behind Axelion who was kneeling before his father.

Axelion turned around and found Jhon's mother staring at him angrily. Next to her was Alice, Jhon's first wife and his son George who was looking at him with a sardonic smile.

"Didn't I hear you wrong? You asked me for money?" George asked.

"Your mother was married because Jhon and Alice wanted to have a child, but after Alice had a child of course you were nothing to Jhon, why did you ask Jhon for money?"

"Grandmother, for once give me a chance to ask father for help because I don't know who else to ask. I need to get the money as soon as possible. Otherwise, my Mom’s life could be lost. Mom and I have been trying to live independently, but this time I really need help,”

"You think it's that easy to give that much money just for someone's treatment? Besides, you can work first, Axelion, or maybe you can ask your mother's family for help," said Alice who objected to Jhon helping Axelion.

"Axelion can't be independent, he can't be responsible for his mother apparently," George said with a laugh.

"Can you be independent too? All this time, didn't your Daddy provide for you?"

Long silent, Axelion finally dared to defend himself. He was deemed unable to be independent, so he returned it to George. Can George live without his father's money?

"I help Mom sell, and I also work at a café when someone needs my labor, so what have you done to prove that you are an independent son, George?"

Axelion's question made George angry. He immediately pointed at Axelion while looking at him sharply.

"I'm recognized by my father, and he's willing to fulfill all my needs, I don't think I need to be independent like you. While you were never recognized by Father. So you must be independent, you must know yourself that you are an unrecognized child! Your fate is not as fortunate as mine,"

"Axelion, don't ever compare yourself to my son, understand?!" Alice did not accept when Axelion spoke like that to her son.

"You are not considered by your father, so you have to live alone, while George is different from you, Axelion!"

"All right, Grandma. I know that I'm different here, no problem. I also don't regret my unlucky fate like George. But for once, please do me a favor,"

"I won't help you, because you should be able to earn your own money independently,"

"Dad, I can already earn my own money but to earn two hundred thousand dollars is not easy, please help me, Dad,"

Axelion asked to his father's again. Jhon immediately moved away from Axelion who instantly felt hopeless that his father was willing to help.

"Get out of here! Leave me and my family alone! How dare you come here and ask for money!"

Jhon chased away Axelion, who was his son as well as George. Axelion felt very disappointed that his father didn't want to help even though this was the first time he had asked for a large amount of money. He was going to use the money for his mother's treatment, not for anything else.

"Why don't you want to help me? I'm also your son. I have been silently ignored, treated badly as if I am not your son, Dad,"

"It's your destiny to be the son of a second wife, Axelion," said Grace, Axelion and George's grandmother, which further hurt Axelion's heart.

Finally, Axelion went home with no money for his mother's recovery. Now Axelion was at a loss as to where to get the two hundred thousand dollars from. His time was short because his mother's condition was getting critical.

"Oh my God, where will I get that much money for Mom's recovery? I don't know who to ask for help besides you, but unfortunately you don't want to help me."

Without Axelion realizing it, his tears fell as his feet left the house of Jhon and his family. Apart from not being given help, he also received bad treatment that really hurt his heart. In that house, he was treated like trash. There was not the slightest bit of compassion in Jhon's heart seeing him already kneeling at his feet asking for help.

(Sir, something will help you. Take it easy, don't worry. Accept the wealth system or not?)

Axelion was surprised when he got that voice again. But because he felt like he was being reassured and given hope that he would be helped, he nodded his head even though he didn't know what it all meant.

(Will the wealth system enter yes or no? Answer firmly, sir)

"Yes!"

(The system is in the process of being installed, it is expected that Sir is in a state of consciousness)

Ten percent

Thirty percent

Fifty percent

Seventy percent

Ninety percent

One hundred percent

Axelion firmly answered the question that was given again then suddenly he felt his body tremble slightly.

(The installation process was successful. Since your life is so miserable, the wealth system will help you with various tasks to complete and of course, there will be rewards for each task you successfully complete. The first task you must complete is, you are given thirty minutes to spend the two hundred thousand dollars currently in your bank account. Starting from now)

"Can I use that money for my mother's recovery? I really need the money."

(Sure)

"I'm very happy, thank you."

Axelion immediately rushed to the hospital where his mother was receiving treatment. He immediately used the money he suddenly had to pay for his mother's treatment in the hope that she would recover soon.

"Payment has been processed,"

Axelion felt very happy. The burden that had been weighing heavily on his back suddenly disappeared. He didn't expect that the money he needed could be provided by the wealth system that had been installed in his body.

"Thank you, Wealth System. Thank you for helping me. Earlier, I was almost desperate. I didn't know who to ask for help,"

(The wealth system is happy to help you, sir. I hope your mother recovers soon. You just need to complete the given task, and then you will be rewarded afterward)

"I still don't understand why I can get this wealth system?"

(Because you and your mother are good people. No one will ever insult you for being poor again)

"Honestly, it doesn't matter if other people want to insult me. The most important thing is that I have my mom by my side who can make me strong."

"How dare he come here to ask for money," Alice told Jhon.

"The important thing is that I didn't give it to him."

"I'm not sure if he’ll use the money for his mom's recovery. It could be for a party, having fun with his friends."

"Yes, I think so," said Alice, who thought the same thing about her son.

"But why would he come here?"

"To have money for fun, Daddy. If he didn't ask me, then who did he ask?"

"He’s seventeen years old, and he’s been living with only his mother. But this is the first time he’s asked for money. Is it possible that he, who usually never asks, would suddenly come asking for a large sum of money just for fun?"

Actually, Jhon felt doubtful. For all he knew, Axelion had been living alone with his mother. They lived their lives without any gifts from him. It seemed impossible that Axelion would suddenly ask for money just to party or have fun with his friends.

"Are you starting to defend him?" George asked with a sardonic look.

"No, I'm just not sure. Maybe the money was for his mother's medical treatment. But so be it, I don't care either way."

"You don't care about Axelion and his mother, because you have me and you,"

Jhon smiled and nodded his head. Then he put his arm around his son's shoulders. Until whenever George is the one he loves. Because it was George's presence that he was looking forward to, even though his presence was very late. And even though besides George, there was another baby boy named Axelion who was also present as his son, he didn't care.

******

Axelion immediately stood up to stare at the doctor who had just come out of the room. The doctor looked at Axelion sadly, then shook his head.

"Axelion, it's with a heavy heart that I have to say this,"

"What happened, Doctor? My mom is fine, right?"

"I'm sorry, your mother cannot be saved. Her life is over. But as her doctor, I beg you to stay strong. Because even though your mother is no longer in this world, she is still watching over you from up there, you don't need to worry,"

Axelion cried and sat on the floor. Axelion felt the devastation of his life. This was real devastation. He never thought that he would lose his mother at the age of seventeen.

"Doctor, I'm not ready to lose my mom,”

Doctor James immediately hugged Axelion. Doctor James knew that Axelion was a child who loved his mother very much. James could see the sincerity in Axelion. But fate said otherwise. Now Axelion had to accept the fate that he had been abandoned forever by Valerie, the mother he loved so much, the mother who always gave him strength when he was humiliated by the world and its inhabitants.

"Doctor, I have to see Mom. I have to make sure once again. Maybe my mother is still here, Doctor. Maybe she doesn't want to leave me yet."

"Whether you want to or not, I'm sure your mother would never want to leave the child she loves so much. But God has his own plans, Axelion. Your mother could not resist her destiny. She had to leave so that you become a stronger child,"

Axelion got up, he immediately rushed to his mother who had closed her eyes with a peaceful face. Her breath was no longer there. Axelion's world was destroyed today. A destruction that he would never have expected because he had always believed that his mother would recover, it was just that God was testing his mother to become a stronger woman therefore the disease had not been recovery yet.

"Mom, I will never be ready to lose you, please don't leave me, Mom. Who will encourage me, who will strengthen me, who will give me love and care, no one but you, Mom,”

Axelion would never be ready to lose the only person who mattered in his life. He didn't know if he could stay strong without his mom? Would he be able to keep his spirit alive without her? After Valerie left, Axelion's life would be completely empty.
