I could feel that I couldn't live for much longer.The feeling of the fact that I was going to die soon made me scared.I began preparing for my own funeral.I wrote a will and went to the notary office with it.I gave all my assets to Rory. She was Laura's godmother and I believed that she wouldn't mistreat Laura.After that, I contacted Mrs. Smith, who used to take care of me back in the Somerfield family.I gave her a large sum of money and she promised me to take care of Laura for me.From that day onwards, I began to cook endlessly for Laura. She loved my cooking and I was worried that she would never have the chance to eat any of my cooking after I die. I stuffed the fridge full of things that I prepared for her. But that wasn't enough. I bought two more freezers and filled them as well.I had also split the food that I prepared for Laura in separate bags before putting them in the freezer.I had also prepared Laura's future birthday gifts as well, starting from her 6th
Thud!I dropped the phone on the ground because I couldn't hold it anymore. Tears welled up in my eyes and blurred my vision.That was the daughter that I doted on. How could they bully her like that?My heart ached and so did my chest.I felt that every cell in my body was experiencing excruciating pain.I grabbed Chris's hand and cried, "I'm dying, Chris. I beg of you to find a good charity house for Laura. The one I went to said that Laura's not eligible. I know you have connections to make this happen. Please, I beg of you..."After saying those words, I passed out.When I woke up again, I had tubes all over my body.All I could smell was disinfectant as well.Chris and Rory were both sitting by my bed. When Rory saw me waking up, she grabbed my hand. Her eyes were red and swollen from all the crying."Catherine, are you a fool? Why didn't you tell me that you were sick?"I forced a smile on my face. "It's no big deal. I didn't want to cause you any trouble.""You're dy
During the winter, my condition became worse and I lost more and more weight.When I woke up one morning, I felt that I was full of energy. I guessed that my body was giving me the last bit of adrenaline before I died.I then decided to take Laura to the theme park while I was feeling good.After coming back home, I changed into a set of clean clothes, put on some makeup and left the villa. I was headed for James's house.I knew I was dying, but I didn't want to die in Chris's house. This would bring bad luck for him.I wanted to die in James's house. I wanted the three of them to remember the day I died in front of them for the rest of my life.This was payback for bullying my daughter.James didn't seem to expect my arrival. He was a little taken aback when he saw me."What brought you over?" he asked.I walked into the house uninvited. Looking at their family outfits, I smiled. 'It seems that they're quite happy. Well, let me shatter this happiness for them. I'm dying becau
Catherine died. She died in James's house.When Chris arrived, her body had already gone cold.He kneeled down next to Catherine's body and cried, "Okay, I'll definitely tell you I love you earlier next time. I'll take good care of Laura, cure her mental illness, and raise her the best I can..."When Rory found out about Catherine's death, she quickly rushed back as well.After burying Catherine, Rory posted a tweet.She complained about James's and Nova's shameful behavior.The Shaw Group then forwarded the post as well. They also began suppressing the Somerfield Group and James's company.James, Nova, and Brenda suddenly became the top of the trending searches.All the things they had done was exposed on the social media and everyone began to reject the Somerfield Group and James's company.Some of the people even went to their office buildings and houses to protest.A week later, James was relieved of duty and forced to resign.Brenda was trembling with fear as she pounce
The day of my daughter's fifth birthday was the seventh wedding anniversary between me and James Frost.On the same morning, before he went to work, I begged him to come home early so that we could celebrate our daughter's birthday.As for our wedding anniversary, it didn't matter to me if we celebrated it or not.We never did anyway.He nodded, which was his way of saying yes.However, he still wasn't home at nine o'clock in the evening.I sent him a message asking him when he was coming home, but he didn't reply.I tried calling him, but he hung up instantly.Looking at the screen of my phone, my heart ached.I knew James hated me. That was why his attitude towards me over the past seven years had always been indifferent. I never complained about it either.I just told myself that I brought this on myself. I fell in love with someone I shouldn't have.I was willing to be a replacement.However, our daughter was innocent. He shouldn't treat her like this as well.Laura's
James glared at me coldly and then went back to his room with Brenda in his arms.I then carried Laura to the table in my arms and was going to celebrate her birthday."Mom, does Dad not like me?" Laura asked all of a sudden.I didn't want Laura to be filled with hatred, so I lied to her. "Laura's a good girl, why would Dad not like you?""Then why doesn't he carry me in his arms?" Laura lowered her head and began crying.I kissed her pink cheeks, but didn't know how to comfort her.'Silly child. Your dad wants you dead, so there's no way that he would want to carry you in his arms,' I thought.I couldn't help but start crying again.My tears landed on the back of Laura's head. She reached out and tried to wipe away my tears."Don't cry, Mom. I don't want Dad to carry me anymore. It's all my fault that you're crying again."James walked out of the bedroom and frowned when he saw Laura and me crying."Catherine, we need to talk."I wiped away the tears on my face. "What do y
James still hadn't returned the next morning when I was sending Laura to the nursery.I thought he wouldn't come home for a while like before after what happened last night.However, I was wrong again.When I got home, James was calling his mother and asking her how to make oat porridge.He said that Brenda wanted to have oat porridge.Looking at the man who had never cooked before, being busy in the kitchen with a pink apron on, my heart couldn't help but ache again.It was a good thing that Laura wasn't home.If she was, she would probably be crying again.Seeing me return, Brenda stood up from the sofa and rushed into the kitchen to wrap her arms around James's leg."Dad, that evil woman is back. I'm scared."James bent down and picked Brenda up with one hand as he continued cooking with the other."Don't be scared, Brenda. Your Dad's Superman. I'll protect you."Such a warm scene made my eyes feel like they were burning and tears quickly welled up in them.I walked to
I felt that James would be overjoyed. After all, he loved Nova Collins so much.Even though she abandoned him for a rich guy seven years ago, he still loved her.He loved her to the core.As for me, the wife that stood by his side as he started his own company, was just an object that could satisfy his needs.He would wave at me when he needed me and would give me the silent treatment when he didn't.However, he was the one who begged me to marry him all those years back.Why did he treat me like this after I agreed to marry him?I felt that I had been a fool as well.He probably begged me to marry him because of the money that I had.He would no longer need me after he got the money. Therefore, he had lost his patience with me as well."Mom..." Laura suddenly woke up.I felt that she was very uncomfortable because her voice was like a whisper.I got rid of all the thoughts in my head and went to the side of the bed to comfort her."How do you feel, sweetheart? Do you stil
