The intern doctor opened his bag,and Mark put Emily on the bed.
I started drinking tea beside them.
Mark was worried that I would do something bad to his first love,Emily,so naturally he wouldn't let me touch her.
The intern doctor picked up the knife and was about to start.
Suddenly,Emily jumped up and took out a huge ring from the bag.
"Don't do it.The ring is here."
I had just brewed a cup of tea and put it back.
I didn't expect that the ring hadn't been lost at all.In my past life,my daughter and I were in such a miserable state because Emily had hidden the ring on purpose.
The hatred for Emily in my heart grew even more.
Mark came to his sense.He rubbed Emily's neck and murmured to her,"Great,Emily.The symbol of our love is still here."
Although Emily's body was a bit trembling,she still threw herself into Mark's arms and said coquettishly,"Mr.Mark,you scared me just now."
The two of them were affectionate as if no one else was around,like a couple who didn't care about the occasion.
The intern beside us kept looking at me.I smiled at him.
I naturally didn't have any feelings about their intimacy I just felt uncomfortable because I couldn't get my revenge on Emily.Finding it boring,I turned and walked out.As I left,I encountered a scruffy man who shouted at the room,"Daughter,son-in-law,open the door for me!"
I recognized the voice immediately.He was the culprit who had caused the car accident that affected my daughter and me.That day,after hitting us,he didn't take us to the hospital.I had to drag my broken leg and take my daughter away with difficulty.What's more,after I had moved a short distance,the car came speeding back and frantically ran over the spot where we had been.If we hadn't left quickly,my daughter and I would have been killed.So far,no evidence of attempted murder has been found,so he was only required to pay for our medical expenses.I never thought he was related to Emily.
I decided to find out his purpose in coming here and hid nearby.Soon,the door opened,and Emily came out.As soon as she saw the man,she called out,"Dad."The scruffy man looked around furtively.Seeing that only Emily was there,he slapped her across the face."Didn't I tell you to get rid of that little girl quickly?She's still alive!Every moment she's alive is burning up my money!"
These words were like a bolt from the blue.It turned out that Emily's so-called"accidental loss"of the ring was actually a plot to kill my daughter.Both the act of running back over the spot and the false accusation of the ring being swallowed were attempts to take my daughter's life.After all,it was more cost-effective to compensate for a dead person than for a seriously injured one.
The scruffy man continued shouting loudly,and Emily quickly covered his mouth."Dad,keep your voice down.Mark doesn't know about this yet."The man immediately fell silent.After looking around again,he followed Emily into the room.
I stepped out from my hiding place and stared at the door,unable to come to terms with what I had just heard.Back at the hospital,looking at my unconscious daughter,I felt a wave of fear.What if they tried again?I sat by my daughter's bedside,gently combing her hair.Looking at her brows that had finally relaxed,I made a decision.Instead of waiting for them to make a move,I would take the initiative.
I called my mother-in-law and told her,"I'm pregnant."On the other end of the line,my mother-in-law was overjoyed and said she would come to see me.I told her there was no need and that I had something else to ask of her.
Naturally,she agreed readily upon hearing I was pregnant.I then stated my requests:I wanted the prescription for my daughter's life-saving medicine,and I wanted Emily's father to be punished."He almost killed your future grandson,Mother-in-law.Y
ou can't let him go."When my mother-in-law heard that someone had tried to harm her future grandson,she got angry and said she would take care of it in a few days.
Three days later,Mark stormed into the ward.As soon as he entered,he grabbed my hair."What did you tell Mom?Now Emily's father is about to be sent to jail."
It seemed my mother-in-law had worked quickly.Good news indeed.When Mark saw that I ignored him,he raised his hand to hit me.But Mark,you seem to forget,I'm afraid of my mother-in-law,not you.I grabbed his hand and pushed him away.Mark fell to the ground,looking at me in disbelief.
After all,this was the first time I had dared to confront him like this.
"Emily's father hit my daughter and me,and then he tried to commit murder.He should have gone to jail long ago."Mark turned around,angry and ready to hit me again.I slapped him across the face.
"Ah,what are you doing to Mr.Mark?"Emily walked in,looking at Mark with concern.Mark looked back at her affectionately.The two of them seemed to share a mutual understanding,and I slapped each of them.
