Killing Me For Her Sake

I lay weakly on the bed. After receiving treatment for so long, I finally felt my illness easing up.I subconsciously raised my head when I heard some noises. My husband of three years, Caleb Grant, came into view.My mom, Mary Cooper, was sitting beside me. When she saw Caleb, she hastily put on a smile and said, "Thank you so much, Cal. If it weren't for you, Liddy wouldn't have been able to recover so quickly…"Instead of responding to my mom, Caleb stared at me expressionlessly. He had always been gentle to me, so his behavior came as a surprise.He spoke. "You've recovered, huh?"I was slightly stunned. I had never heard him speak in such a cold voice before.I nodded, smiling. However, before I could say anything, Caleb scoffed. "Well, since you've recovered, it's about time you pay your debt."When he had finished speaking, several people barged in behind him. They had a surgical stretcher with them, and as they ran over to me, they proceeded to drag me onto the stretcher

My mom was right.I smiled bitterly as I gazed at my lifeless body and its hardly protruding abdomen.It was around three days ago when I knew about the child.When I joyously told Caleb the news, he didn't look as happy as I had anticipated.On the contrary, after I gave him the news, his expression had instantly darkened.Caleb had shouted angrily at me, "Didn't I tell you to take protective measures? Why didn't you listen? Who allowed you to have my child?"His twisted expression was filled with hatred back then, and it had instantly broken my heart.We had been married for so long, but I had never seen him lose control like that before.When I froze on the spot, Caleb seemed to have suddenly realized what he had just said.Softening his expression, he had said in a gentler tone, "Liddy… I mean… I'm not ready for a baby yet…"I had felt a little uneasy inside, but I didn't dare ask too much when I heard his explanation.Now when I thought about it, he hated me and thought

The color drained from Carol's face as she rushed home in a hurry.When Carol arrived home, Caleb was feeding Eva some stew.With reddened eyes, Carol shoved the bowl onto the floor. She couldn't stop herself from trembling as she said in a sobbing voice, "Caleb! You monster! You knew that she hadn't fully recovered yet, so why would you force her to donate her kidney to Eva? Did you know that your actions have killed her?"Caleb was expressionless as he picked up the bowl on the floor. Then, he said coldly, "Are you out of your mind too, Mom? Lydia owed Eva a kidney, anyway! Also, did you take me for a fool? The doctor already said that the operation won't kill her! Why are you playing along with her, anyway?"Carol's chest heaved in fury. Unable to bear it any longer, she delivered a slap across Caleb's face. "It has been days since then. Have you ever asked about Lydia's health at all?"Carol had put all her strength into that slap, so Caleb's face was slapped to the side, and

Caleb completely broke down.Suddenly, he thought of my mom and her tragic situation.With trembling hands, he called David. "David! Which ward is Mrs. Wells in?"After receiving David's response, Caleb quickly rushed toward my mom's ward.However, when he arrived at the door, he stopped in his tracks instead.He stood frozen at the door leading to my mom's ward. He had lifted his hand several times, but he helplessly lowered them in the end.After making mental preparations for a while, Caleb finally opened the door and walked in.My mom noticed him right away. When she recognized her visitor, she expressionlessly turned away."What are you doing here?" she asked.Caleb clenched his fists tightly as he asked in a bitter voice, "Mrs. Wells… Lydia… Where is Lydia's body?"Even before Caleb had finished speaking, my mom seemed to be triggered by the mention of my name. She immediately grabbed the vase placed on the bedside table and flung it at Caleb.To my surprise, Caleb did

After the incident, Caleb gradually sunk into despair.He was the president of a company, but he refused to handle company matters anymore. He would only stay at home and drink every day.He refused to eat, too. He wouldn't see anyone who came to visit, either.In the many years I had known him, I had never seen him in such a sorry state. He was no longer the brilliant man he once was.As I gazed at his tragic situation in my spirit form, I felt nothing but pity and hatred toward him.If he had believed in me just a little bit, we wouldn't have come to this point.Caleb sat dejectedly on the floor as tears streamed down his face.Suddenly, he looked like he had sensed something in the air.Scrambling to his feet, Caleb asked in a trembling voice, "Is that you, Liddy? Are you here?"Sadly, no one responded to his questions.He tried to stagger forward, but he tripped over the alcohol bottles strewn all over the floor.Then, he crashed onto the floor. Blood trickled out of his
