That’s when I recalled she was here for a check-up today. I hadn’t expected we’d run into each other.
Bryce laughed coldly. “Your daughter and I are already divorced. We can do whatever we want with the baby; it’s got nothing to do with you!”
Rushing forward, Mom grabbed Bryce’s hand. “No, abortion will hurt Margaret badly. And this baby, isn’t it the one you both wanted so much?”
“If you’re just arguing, you can tell Mom…”
Bryce pushed her away. “What Mom!? You’re no mother to me! Disgusting!”
“Now that I’ve got money, you’re acting again, huh? None of you in your family will see a single penny from me!”
Backing away several steps, Mom suddenly clutched her head, her face going pale.
“Mom!” I quickly caught her. “It’s okay. If he wants to abort it, let him. I can deal with it.”
Shaking in my arms, Mom’s lips turned purple. “Don’t… don’t…”
“You awful old lady!” Tabitha pointed at Mom and cursed, “Even if you drop dead right here, my son will never be with your useless daughter again!”
“Besides, who even knows if the baby in your daughter’s belly belongs to my son!”
Hearing that, Mom’s face tightened in even greater pain. Suddenly, I understood, these were the symptoms of a stroke!
I immediately called for the doctor. “My mom’s having a stroke! Somebody, please come now!”
Yet Edith coldly smirked. “Bryce, don’t believe a word they say.”
“They just found out you’re rich and want to trick you out of money before the divorce goes through.”
“What a cheap act. How low can they sink?”
Right after saying that, Bryce glanced at me, clearly mocking. “Your mom’s just faking it!”
“And besides, I didn’t even shove her that hard. Even if she actually dies, it’s not my problem.”
I was surprised. My mother had always treated him better than she ever treated her own daughter.
Not only did she cook every meal for him three times a day, but she also used her own pension money to send him on vacations.
When she learned I was pregnant, she worried he might feel too much pressure and even talked with me about putting the old family home under his name.
And now he could actually say something so ridiculous?
Before I could even respond, he rushed off with Edith and Tabitha. Ignoring him completely, I sent my mother straight to the emergency room.
After that, without turning around once, I walked into the abortion room.
Thirty minutes later, I came across Edith’s latest post.
