Jacob stormed out of the crowd in a fury, snatching the lead reporter's camera and smashing it to pieces. "Get the hell out of here. All of you!"
My mother frantically wrapped a coat around me, tears streaming down her face, her voice cracking. "Security! Are you all useless? How did reporters even get into this celebration party? You're all fired!"
Kimberly stood to the side, covering her mouth in shock. "You guys are going too far! How can you treat my sister like this? You'd better not publish any of those photos of her having a seizure and wetting herself!"
Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. Do you guys want the championship? Do you want to give all your love to Kimberly? Fine by me, have at it. But why do you have to do this to me?
My mind was hazy. I just let Jacob kneel down in front of me, holding my hands tightly. "Wife, I'm so sorry. This is all my fault for not protecting you. Don't worry. From now on, I'll never let you suffer even a little bit. Let's get married right away, okay?"
I wanted to say no, but the metallic taste rising in my throat came out as a mouthful of blood first. Jacob was splattered with my blood. His pupils shrank and his face went instantly white. Before my consciousness faded into darkness, I heard him and my mother yelling for a doctor in a panic.
"Her injuries were already severe and the delay has made it much worse. Plus, she's taken an overdose of psychotropic drugs. Her internal organs are severely damaged. The surgery only has a thirty percent chance of success."
Jacob's voice trembled. "How could this happen? I don't care! If you can't save my wife, you'll all pay with your lives!"
Tears fell onto the back of my hand. He sobbed uncontrollably, "Babe, we promised we'd be together forever. You can't leave me here alone."
My mother knelt down, begging the doctor. "Please, you have to save my daughter! I don't care what it takes. I'd even give my own life for hers!"
I heavily closed my eyes. Maybe dying like this wouldn't be so bad. When I woke up again, I was back in my own room. I could hear faint voices talking outside the door. "Mom, are you really going to transfer all of Dad's inheritance to me? Won't Lilian be mad when she finds out?"
