Chapter 7

Author: Explosive King
Harvey had somehow crashed through the gates of the Fisher residence in his haste to find me.

At that moment, Grandma was kneeling in front of a garden pavilion, muttering prayers for Mom and me. My body and Mom's remains were placed in the pavilion.

Harvey's car eventually crashed into a large oak tree. The airbags deployed, yet his head was still covered in blood.

"Come out, Maddison!" he started shouting uncontrollably.

Grandma's prayers merely paused for a moment. She continued to mutter prayers for me as she fiddled with her prayer beads.

It continued on until Nelly arrived in her own car. She came out of the car and shouted, "Please don't blame Harv, Grandma!"

At that moment, Grandma's prayer beads snapped. One by one, the beads scattered on the ground, rolling everywhere.

"Get on your knees!" She got up and barked angrily, "I said, get on your knees!"

Harvey stood with his fists balled tightly, his face dark with anger.

Nelly turned to Grandma, face full of grievance. "

    Harvey's eyes widened in disbelief. "What?"He started hacking up a cough after that, covering his mouth as he coughed violently.Nelly rushed over to gently pat Harvey's shoulders, trying to comfort him. She turned to Grandma and cried, "You're Harvey's biological grandmother, so why are you treating him like this? His lungs are weak. He can't get too worked up!"She even fell to her knees. "Please just ask Maddie to come out. If this is because she was jealous, I can leave. I'm willing to do anything as long as Harv is alright!"Nelly stayed on her knees, looking pitiful as her tears continued to fall.At this point, she was still trying to put up a facade in front of everyone, like how she always did. She was truly a pretentious bitch—putting others down just to prove that she always had Harvey's best interest at heart.Grandma walked over and slapped Harvey. "Just let him cough his lungs out, then. His lung condition was the aftereffect from the fire back then. He would've di

    Harvey still did not manage to see me in the end.Grandma said, "I've made a promise to Maddie. She told me she never wanted to see you again."Harvey did not lose it when he was stripped of his glory, but he snapped at that moment. He looked at the garden pavilion, where my body lay, and tried to barge over.This time, everyone but Joshua rushed over and pinned him down.Harvey yelled, "You aren't actually dead, are you, Maddison? You must've still been alive! I didn't ask you to die! How could you… How dare you die!"Grandma threw him a harsh slap before gritting, "What are you talking about? She's an individual person—not your possession! You've hid your bitterness so well! You pretended to love her in order to inherit the Fisher family, and she was deceived by you!"Because she loved you, she endured the fact that you're sick in the head and all the unfair things you've done to her. Now that she's dead, how dare you ask her to continue to tolerate you!"Grandma coldly said,

    It was already late at night when I wearily returned home with my mother's urn. As soon as I reached the door, I spotted Nelly Johnson's high heels placed on my shoe rack.This wasn't Nelly's first time coming here. Ever since she became a senior partner at Fisher Group three years ago, she had often come over under the guise of business meetings. No matter day or night, rain or shine—nothing could deter her from her "relentless ambition".At first, I protested, but Harvey Fisher told me to know my place. He said, "You'd be the first one to enjoy the perks if the company makes money—and you're not even doing anything!"After that, Harvey would give me the cold shoulder whenever I brought it up, ignoring me for days until I apologized.Back then, I still loved him, so I would try to comfort myself. But what I got in return was this urn, weighing no more than a couple of ounces.I stepped indoors with a cold chuckle. What greeted me was the sight of Harvey and Nelly kissing passio

    Harvey was very strong, and it seemed like he was about to take away Mom's urn to use for his so-called stray dog. In a moment of desperation, I bit down hard on his wrist.The sharp, metallic taste instantly filled my mouth. I felt so disgusted I wanted to throw up."Dang it!" Harvey was seething when he threw a harsh slap against my cheek.I was only focused on protecting the urn in my arms as I fell, but my head slammed straight into a corner of the table."Harv!" Nelly anxiously checked Harvey's arm. She then turned around and looked at me with displeasure. "Why did you bite Harv's arm, Maddie? He cares about you a lot! It's just an urn—don't you think he'd prepared something even better for Mrs. Lundell later?" she said.I forced myself to get up while hugging Mom's urn. Blood trickled down my face, dripping onto the urn.Mom cherished me a lot when she was alive, but the one she cherished the most was Harvey.At that moment, I completely lost it. "Is that how he cares for

    I sat slumped in a pool of my own blood, my entire body in excruciating pain. But the pain was incomparable to what I felt in my stomach, the place that had once carried a new life.A coppery taste filled my mouth as tears blurred my vision.I stared at Harvey, who was coldly standing some distance away, and tightened my grip around Mom's urn. No matter how much I tried, I couldn't get up.I reached out a trembling hand toward my stomach before hacking out a mouthful of blood all of a sudden. Frightened, Nelly grabbed Harvey's arm tightly, her face pale in terror."Stop pretending, Maddison! I barely touched you. So, stop acting like you're about to die!" Harvey stood arrogantly, his face dark as he irritably pulled out some tissue to wipe his shoes.Nelly teared up and looked innocently at me. "Do you think she might be pregnant, Harv? Look! So much blood is trickling from her legs—how disgusting!"She covered her mouth and bent down, as if she was about to retch.Despite her o

    I clamped my mouth shut, refusing to budge, yet Harvey continued to slap me to make me open up. He ended up grabbing my jaw and tried to pry them open forcefully.His chest was heaving in rage as he yelled, "Hurry up! Apologize to Nelly now if you don't want to eat it, and then start begging me—tell me that you don't want to leave and want to stay here as Mrs. Fisher! "A sharp pain shot through the corners of my mouth. It was as if my entire head was about to be ripped apart by him. But I continued to glare at him with my bloodshot eyes.Having realized that I was about to die, Harvey's mind cleared up slightly and released his hold on me. Gasping for breath, I clambered on the ground as I tried to collect Mom's ashes.Suddenly, Nelly opened up a window. "It's so stuffy here, Harv, and your lungs aren't that great. Let me ventilate this place for you."She then turned on the high-powered ventilation air conditioning."No!" I ignored the pain in my entire body as I rushed forward

    I ended up dying in the hospital.Before I died, Grandma knelt by the bed, calling for me repeatedly, "Maddie! What happened to you? How did you turn out like this?"Her eyes were red as she pleaded, "Please don't close your eyes! Just stay with me a little longer. Harv is coming over soon!"But I knew I couldn't hold on much longer.My ribs were broken by Harvey, with two of them puncturing my lungs, tearing open a large hole. Each breath I took was accompanied by a harsh, painful sound. I was also losing a lot of blood due to my miscarriage. The hallway leading to the emergency room was marked with a blood-red trail. It was already a miracle that I could hold on until now.After I was out of the emergency room, the doctor glanced at me with a sigh before shaking his head at Grandma."I don't want to see him, Grandma," I said with much difficulty. I was taking longer to breathe, and I spent more time with my eyes shut.Grandma was stunned, as if she finally understood somethi

    I did not manage to leave entirely. Instead, my soul lingered in the air. I watched as Grandma, consumed by grief, accidentally answered the call.Harvey's angry yells echoed through the phone, "Where are you hiding now, Maddison? Do you think you can threaten me if you crawl and hide somewhere now?"Did you go looking for Grandma? Do you think hiding with her will give you leverage over me? Let me tell you this. I'm the one in charge of this household now!"Agitated, Grandma's breath quickened as she stumbled backward. She clutched a hand over her chest, knocking the phone down onto the ground. The dull thud of the dropping phone seemed to anger Harvey even more.Harvey clearly thought I was throwing a tantrum. He then yelled, "Why aren't you responding? Are you dead?"I was tempted to tell him that I was truly dead now. He could finally be together with Nelly happily ever after."Hurry up and reply to me, Maddison!" Harvey gritted his teeth in anger. "Even if you die, you have
