Crystal always found ways to get the men around her to do her bidding, maximizing her charm, and demeaning me at the same time. However, I could defend myself so she often failed.
On the contrary, I was completely defenseless against Monica. She used the simplest method to cast a shadow on the relationship between Christopher and me so that we could not live together peacefully.
“Fortunately, she was discovered in time. The doctor rushed to the rescue as soon as possible, but the danger isn’t over yet. Eve, please be alert. This is not that simple. There are reporters outside. I am afraid that the news tomorrow will be bad. It will be even uglier, so you have to be prepared,” said Sabrina as patted my shoulder.
“I understand!” Just now, I already had a premonition when I got the news. Tomorrow, I will be the most talked about woman in Avenport.
The lights in the emergency room kept flashing oddly and unexpectedly, making the patient’s kin and friends even edgier. I could not help but pace in the corridor, trying to calm myself down.
“She won’t live,” Christopher held me in his arms, speaking firmly and reassuringly.
I felt confused. Could Monica do something so extreme for Christopher, even to the extent of giving up her life? Everyone knows for a fact that life is so precious and so fragile.
Right at this moment, I saw Shelley coming over with a newspaper which she hurriedly handed to Julia. When Julia read the news, she raised her eyebrows and suddenly came over to me, giving me a slap right across my face. “You shameless slut! You have killed Monica and you dare behave in such a sleazy way in public!”
“Mom, what are you doing?” Christopher swept me into his arms protectively and questioned his mother seriously.
“Are you asking me why? Take a look for yourself. Don’t you know that this woman whom you treat like the apple of your eye has betrayed you behind your back?”
