"Do you want to talk nonsense about Chris and Chloe being rescued again? I just locked them up for a day, how did it get to the point where they needed to be rescued? Can you find a decent excuse? Serena, you really make me sick!"
Before I could say anything, he hung up the phone impatiently.
Madison's face turned pale in an instant, as if she did not know how to persuade me anymore.
My tears streamed down my face.
"Madison, I have nothing left. I only have a son and a daughter. Please, let me go, let my son and daughter go."
Just as Madison was about to say something, the lights in the emergency room went out. I hurriedly got up from the ground and rushed to the doctor, but the doctor just shook his head.
"Your children suffered from throat edema due to seafood allergy. They had been suffocated for too long. When they were taken to the hospital, they were already in shock."
"We have done our best. We offer our condolences."
As the doctor spoke, the two hospital beds had already been pushed out of the emergency room and the two small bodies were covered with white cloth without a sound.
I could not hold on any longer, my legs went limp and I fell to the ground.
When Caesario’s sister contacted the funeral home to handle the funeral arrangements, I followed her like a wandering soul.
Until the bodies were carried onto the funeral home's car, I rushed to the front of the car as if I had realized something and held on to the door tightly to prevent them from leaving.
"My son and daughter are not dead! Where are you taking them? Give my son and daughter back to me?"
"Aaah, let them go, I want to take them home, I want to take them home!"
Caesario’s sister hugged me and yelled at me while crying.
"Okay, Serena, okay, I know you're sad, it's okay, it's okay."
A few people pulled me apart with all their might and the moment my hands completely escaped from the door, the hearse drove away.
As I watched the hearse getting farther and farther away from me, I finally could not hold on any longer, I closed my eyes and lost consciousness.
When I woke up again, I was in the manor of the Roberts Family. Madison was standing by my bed with red and swollen eyes.
Seeing me open my eyes, Caesario’s sister quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Serena, are you awake? Do you want some water? Are you hungry."
I tried to force a smile, but tears rolled down the corners of my eyes.
