I exclaimed, "Mom!"
Just then, Melanie yelled, "She's just faking it! That old hag! Serves her right!"
I crawled over, grabbed Grace, and shook her. "Mom... wake up. Don't scare me! Mom..."
No matter how many times I called her, she wouldn't open her eyes. I shouted to the people inside, "Call an ambulance! Quickly! Mom, wake up! Don't scare me! I'll take you to the hospital..."
I was frantic. I couldn't bear the thought of her dying like this. I reached out to check, and her breath was faint.
Matthew stood there dumbfounded, staring blankly at his mother. She was lying on the ground, unresponsive.
Meanwhile, Grace’s forehead continued to bleed. Despite the chaos, I couldn't care less about my own appearance.
I searched for my bag, panicking. The bewildered bodyguard finally reacted, helping me support Grace.
Finally, I took out my phone and called Atlas.
As soon as he answered, I cried uncontrollably. "Atlas, please help me find a doctor. Grace might not make it! Get the best doctor!" I shouted incoherently.
While comforting me, he asked a few questions and gave me instructions before hanging up.
I turned back to Grace. "Mom, wake up! We promised to go home together. I made breakfast for you!"
I couldn't help but shed tears. No matter what, when I was recovering after giving birth, she took care of me.
"You have to wake up. I have so much to tell you. You can't leave like this!"
When the ambulance arrived, they used a stretcher to carry her down. I followed, jumping into the ambulance, just like she was my own mother. I didn't even glance at Matthew.
I saw him pacing around before hopping into his car and tailing the ambulance.
At the hospital, I followed the stretcher to the emergency room.
My regrets could never be undone.
"Mom, how could you leave like this?!" I wailed, unable to accept reality. “You said you would come home with me.”
I cried so hard I could not breathe, while Ava was crying inconsolably.
It wasn't until this moment that Matthew seemed to react to what had happened. He let out a heartbreaking cry. However, this cry brought me back to my senses. I turned to look, seeing him kneeling on the ground.
Standing numbly beside him was Melanie, staring blankly at Matthew's actions.
I suddenly made a surprising decision, signaling a neighbor to come over. I told him, "Please call all the neighbors at the scene!"
He looked at me in surprise, not understanding what I meant.
I said calmly but firmly, "I'm calling the cops."
