I felt like I was about to die as my soul had already drifted from my body and floated over to my mother’s side.
Right now, she was sitting by Alice’s hospital bed with a worried expression on her face. “You’ll be alright, sweetheart. Don’t worry about it.”
Alice’s eyes were brimmed with tears as she asked, “Am I going to lose my legs? If that happens, I’ll become a burden to you guys.”
When my husband heard her words, he immediately held her hands and said softly, “That’s not going to happen, Alice. Look, Mom brought all the doctors here. You’re going to be just fine.”
Alice nodded. Then, she hesitated for a moment before asking, “What about Vanessa? Is she okay?”
In that split second, my heart was filled with hope.
If my mother remembered me, perhaps there was still time to save my children!
However, my hope shattered in the next second.
When my mother heard Alice’s words, anger filled her eyes. Her voice was as cold as ice as she said, “You are hurt because Vanessa insisted on going to the mall. When we get back, I’ll make sure to teach her a lesson!”
In that split second, a wave of bitterness swept through me as I watched my father stand by the side in silence. He opened his mouth and tried to say something. Nevertheless, he said nothing in the end.
The doctors surrounded Alice’s bed and did all sorts of examinations. In the end, they concluded that her injuries were nothing serious and merely just some scrapes.
As my mother personally wrapped her wounds, my husband ruffled Alice’s head and comforted her gently. “With Mom’s skills, you don’t need to worry about having any scars. Once Vanessa gives birth to the children, I’ll divorce her and bring one of the babies for you, as we discussed before. That way, you won’t have to go through the pain of giving birth yourself.”
My mind immediately became filled with white noise.
