The Cost of Being a Spoiled ChildChapter 1
Eddy, the son of my husband's younger brother, stabbed my daughter Julie's eyes with a pencil, and the doctor said that she might lose her eyeballs.
I collapsed to the ground, couldn't believe my ears.
Emma, my mother-in-law, and Clifton, my brother-in-law, complained, "It's just a pencil wound. Can't you just take Julie to the clinic downstairs? Why do you have to come to the hospital?"
Ethan, my husband, advised me to make peace with the family.
My sister-in-law, Marie threw me a thousand dollars and wanted to me to let it go.
That little bastard Eddy was still mocking my daughter, "Julie, you're so ugly. You look like a pirate now. I should have pricked your other eye as well!"
Looking at the evil family, I was furious.
I was so sad for my daughter.
One rainy night, I put on makeup and changed my clothes. Then, I sneaked to Clifton's house.
Clifton's son stabbed the pencil into my daughter's eyes.
With a scream, Julie fell to the ground in pain, and blood oozed out of the corners of her eyes.
But Emma hugged Eddy and comforted him. "Don't be afraid, my dear grandson. Julie will be fine."
My eyes widened. I pushed Emma away and rushed to the hospital with my daughter in my arms.
Julie kept calling out to her, "Mom, it hurts."
My heart ached so much that I didn't even notice that I've lost my slippers.
Finally, I arrived at the hospital.
The doctor quickly took my daughter and sent her to the operating room.
I broke out in a cold sweat and collapsed to the ground.
When I finally came to my senses, a nurse came out. "What are you waiting for? You need to go through the admission procedures."
Only then did I realize that I left in a hurry and didn't bring anything with me.
I could only borrow a phone to call my husband.
However, Ethan didn't take it seriously. "My mother just called me. Eddy was just playing with Julie."
"It's not a big deal. Don't make a fuss."
When I heard this, I was so angry.
"Ethan, are you even human? If anything happens to Julie, I'll kill all of you."
Then I hung up the phone.
At the thought of Julie's expression just now, I couldn't help crying.
When I was in college, I met Ethan. He was well-behaved. After graduation, I married him and moved to his place, which was far away from home.
However, after getting married, I found that sometimes being honest was being cowardly.
Ethan was the eldest son in the family.
