She stared at the ward in a daze. It occurred to her that she had called her mother to see her before the delivery. 'Why isn't Mom here yet?' Ashley thought.
Suddenly, Ashley had a bad feeling and looked around in the ward for her cell phone. "Where is my phone?" she mumbled.
"There's no time for that now. Sign the papers. Stop delaying." Francis impatiently tapped his foot.
"I am going to call my Mom. Why hasn't she come yet?" Ashley replied.
Sheila's eyes were as vicious as a viper and she uttered a snorting laugh. "Your mother? She's dead! When she was driving to hospital last night, she lost control and drove right through the guardrail. The car sank along with her down the river. Neither you nor your Mom is a match for me. You just wait until I'm finished with your pathetic life! You will become a completely poor wretch who can do nothing but beg for mercy!"
Ashley's face turned pale. "No, it's impossible! You are lying..." It was like a thunderbolt hit her. Feeling short of breath, she coughed and gagged, spurts of blood coming out of her mouth.
Her whole body felt like it was going cold, as if the life was getting drained right out of her, just as her happiness was ruthlessly deprived by Sheila.
Even at the last moment before she lost consciousness, she heard Francis urging, "Hurry up and get everything done before she dies."
Huh, this was the man with whom she had planned to spend the rest of her life?!
It was at that moment that Ashley recalled her 25 years of existence. Was it all just to end like this?
However, she was unwilling to accept defeat. There was a lot of doubt in her heart as well.
