Mom Faked Being Paralyzed to Play Pitiful, But Then She Really Was?

The brother I'd cut off long ago called me in tears. The first thing out of his mouth was that our mom had a stroke and was paralyzed, that she was refusing to eat and threatening to kill herself, and he begged me to come home and see her. In my last life I didn't ask a single question, I just went. My heart ached for her, so I brought her to live with me and took care of her myself. But on her deathbed she told me the paralysis had been faked the whole time. All because she couldn't bear to see her son suffer, couldn't stand the thought of putting him through the trouble.
