I Sent My Mother $1.5 Million Pesos Every Month to Care for My Wife After Childbirth — Then I Came Home Early and Found Her Eating Spoiled Rice With Fish Heads

8. I Decided to Check the Kitchen

I stood up and opened the refrigerator.

There were a few vegetables, some old containers, and several items that looked as though they had been sitting there for days.

I checked the cupboard.

There were very few basic ingredients.

Then I opened another storage cabinet.

I found several packages of food, but some appeared to have been purchased a long time ago.

I began to understand why Hue had been eating leftovers.

The kitchen did not look like a place where someone had been regularly preparing fresh meals for a recovering mother.

I returned to the table.

“Where is the money I sent for groceries?”

Hue looked uncomfortable.

“I don’t know.”

“Did my mother tell you how much she received?”

“She said it was family money and that I shouldn’t ask.”

I felt angry, but I tried to control myself.

I didn’t want Hue to become more frightened.

I needed facts.

I needed to know exactly what had happened.

And most importantly, I needed to make sure that my wife and baby were safe.
