Denton nodded and gently told Juliet, \u201cDad, take Mom outside. I\u2019ll talk to the doctor about the treatment plan and the cost.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Juliet nodded. She wiped her tears and walked out with Michael.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Outside, she whispered, \u201cDo you think he really buys it? He didn\u2019t seem that shocked.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe doctor will explain it,\u201d Michael replied. He thought their acting was flawless. But how could two fools trick a smart child?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Inside the office, Denton looked at the doctor and asked calmly, \u201cDoctor, does late\u2013stage kidney failure usually cause coughing?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The doctor froze for a second, then explained, \u201cIt might. Her immune system is weak. Even a small cold could put her life at risk.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton nodded, his face full of innocence. \u201cDoctor, do you know what happens if someone falsifies medical records? Whoever asked you to do it, if I call the police right now, this diagnosis and everything you just said will be evidence. You\u2019re a department head at a public hospital, right? Probably due for a promotion in a few years. If something like this ends up on your record \u2026 \u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The doctor\u2019s face turned pale instantly. He panicked and raised his voice on purpose. \u201cYoung man, what are you implying?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou just need to tell me who asked you to do this. I won\u2019t press charges. But if you want my parents to hear us, I will call the police.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The doctor\u2019s heart dropped. As expected for a Lincoln, although this kid was truly angry, Denton\u2019s presence was intense at just nineteen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton looked at him quietly, giving him a chance to make the right choice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The doctor clenched his teeth. Yes, the Lincolns could offer him some benefits, but he had worked hard for years to build his reputation. He couldn\u2019t throw it all away. \u201cIt was your parents who came to me,\u201d he finally confessed. \u201cAnd someone from your family also. approached me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton nodded. \u201cI understand. Thank\u00a0<\/p>\n
you,\u00a0<\/p>\n
doctor.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He stood up and walked out of the examination room, holding the medical report.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment he stepped into the hallway, Juliet Started crying again on purpose.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Michael rushed over, looking anxious. \u201cDenton, how much is your mom\u2019s treatment going to cost?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOne million,\u201d Denton said calmly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael pretended to be shocked. \u201cOne million? Where are we supposed to get a million? I couldn\u2019t find that kind of money even if I worked myself to the bone!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Juliet began to cry louder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Watching them acting, Denton spoke quietly. \u201cDad, you don\u2019t have the money, but Grandpa does.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael\u2019s eyes lit up. \u201cSon, have you decided to go home and accept your inheritance?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
money i\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, you\u2019re not willing to go to Grandpa and borrow Mom? One million is just pocket change for him. If you love Mom so much, I\u2019m sure you\u2019d ask him, right?\u201d Denton asked, sounding innocent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael choked on that question, then he snapped angrily. \u201cEverything the family has belongs to Curtis. Curtis would rather see us die. How would he ever give us money?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, this is Mom\u2019s life we\u2019re talking about. There\u2019s no real grudge between father and son. If I were you, I\u2019d go begging Curtis. He\u2019d help you,\u201d Denton said, still calm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael\u2019s expression darkened. \u201cWhy can\u2019t you sacrifice something for your mother? Even if I begged him till I died, Curtis still wouldn\u2019t give us a dime.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow would you know if you don\u2019t try?\u201d Denton shot back in rage. \u201cOr maybe you just don\u2019t love Mom enough. She\u2019s about to die, and you won\u2019t even swallow your pride.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael\u2019s mind went blank, unable to answer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Juliet reacted faster. Tears streamed down her face as she choked out, \u201cThe one million surgery is just the start. I may not live long enough to wait for you to make money. I still want to see you get married, have kids, and let me at least hold my grandbaby.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She sobbed harder. \u201cWhat if the surgery doesn\u2019t go well and we need more money? Rehab. medicines, everything costs money. Curtis might help once, but he won\u2019t help twice. Son, please just do it for me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton nodded slowly. \u201cFine. I will go home and accept the inheritance.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael and Juliet\u00a0<\/p>\n
ared at him, stunned. \u201cReally?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes,\u201d Denton said, but his voice turned firm. \u201cBut I have one condition.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou signed a paper years ago,\u201d Denton said calmly. \u201cYou gave up everything. You cut all ties with the family. If I return to the Lincolns, I\u2019ll be one of them. That means I can\u2019t have any connection with you. I\u2019ll give you one million dollars. After that, we cut ties. No visits. No contact.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael stared at him in disbelief. Was this really his son speaking?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cY\u2013you ungrateful child!\u201d Michael shouted, shaking with anger. \u201cYou\u2019re going to send me to my grave!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow could you do this to us?\u201d Juliet panicked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton threw the medical report into Michael\u2019s arms, his voice full of hurt and anger. \u201cHow could my parents do this to me? Using your health to trick me? Am I your son? Or just a tool to get you money?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
