chapter 1584
Jane covered her cheek that was burning with pain. "Wh-why would you hit me?"
Ivy snorted, "So what if I hit you? I'm hitting you because of how cheap you are! They never wanted you and you still forced yourself in here! How shameless for you to insist on staying even if you have to clean tables and wipe the floor. Who would want a pregnant woman like you??"
"..." Jane did not respond anymore because she knew that any resistance would only bring further torture. What she did not realize, however, was that someone was standing by the door, watching and sobbing in silence.
Noah's mother leaned against the door frame and wept as she mumbled quietly, "My girl, will you be safe from all this suffering if I die? I can tell that you are a good girl who cherishes love and knows right from wrong. But the three of US can't just all die, can we? No, it's the four of US. At least one of the four of us has to survive, right? I am grateful for how much you care for me, my child, but I’m going to the underworld to keep Noah company now. You have to live well. Once your child grows up, there will be hope in your life again." with that, Noah's mother turned away and left, she was stumbling, but did not make a sound.
The old lady had been staying at Lenny's with Jane for ten days, and there were people looking after her each day. The food was not bad, and Lenny never bullied Jane. However, the women by Lenny's side would often slap Jane or kick at her waist. None of them liked Jane, and they all wanted to swallow her up alive. Jane might have been fed and no longer had to hide at Lenny's mansion, but she was still walking on eggshells.
‘All of that is because of a damn old hag like me,’ the old lady thought as she wandered further and further away, slowly being swallowed up by the passing crowd.
After some time, she stumbled her way to the coastline. The sea water was salty and bitter, and the old lady thought to herself, ‘Maybe I can find my son's body if I go through the sea? )
Before she knew it, her body was completely immersed into the ocean, she did not know precisely as to when she had lost consciousness, but an unknown period of time had passed before she finally woke up again, she looked up with eyes plagued by presbyopia and saw nothing but white.
‘Is this the afterlife? Is the underworld all white? Maybe this is Heaven, according to western culture. My son used to be a factory manager and was exposed to various cultures, but even if I was born in a village deep inside the mountains, I'm not stubborn-headed, so I know a little bit about different religions and cultures. This might just be Heaven. I wonder where my son is? oh, maybe I will see my grandson as well,’ the old lady thought, as a smile appeared on her face. ’
"Ma'am, you are finally awake," a voice said, and immediately, the upper half of her body began shaking.
Frightened, the old lady blurted out, "Wh- what's going on?"
Soon, the upper half of her bed was raised, and before her stood a nurse. The old lady scanned the room over again and realized that she was in a hospital room with flowers next to her.
"Sweet girl, am I in Heaven?"
The nurse chuckled. "You fell into the water, ma'am, but you were rescued immediately after that. You are currently at a hospital. You are not dead, so this isn't Heaven. You are perfectly alive."
The old lady burst into tears. "Why won't you just let me die? My son and my grandson are all dead and I'm all alone. I don't want to live anymore."
