Chapter 158
It was Ricky!
“Ricky!” Samantha ran to him in terror, fearful of the worse.
Ricky was already unconscious when she lifted the shelf off him, and she slapped his cheeks, crying, “Get up, Ricky! Please, you’re scaring me… Don’t do this to me…”
Samanthat’s tears were genuine this time–Ricky was her only son, and everything she did was for him.
She had pinned all her hopes on him!
She could not live without him!
“Why are you so stupid?! Why would you save her?! She’s trying to take everything from you!”
On the other hand, Irene was bleeding from her knee, but she whipped out her phone to call an ambulance even before taking a look at her own injury.
When she limped over to check on Ricky, however, Samantha seemed to be convinced that she was out to hurt Ricky, and pushed her away. “Don’t touch my son!”
Irene stumbled, but coolly said, “Let me tend to him if you want him to be safe–I’m a doctor, I won’t hurt him.”
Samantha, however, was cradling Ricky’s head and crying hysterically, “It’s your fault he’s like this…”
“You did this to him because you wanted to hurt me,” Irene said, rising to her feet. “Since you don’t want me to look at him, I won’t. It’s more money for me if he dies anyway.”
Those words punched Samantha exactly where it hurt!
Glaring viciously at Irene, she raved, “I knew it! You’re evil!”
Irene simply thought nothing of her ravings, and simply took charge of the funeral arrangements, instructing the funeral home employees to keep working and not bother themselves with Samantha.
“No!” Samantha suddenly shrieked. “T–There’s blood…”
Irene quickly went over to check on Ricky, and saw the blood seeping out of his hair.
He must have been hurt, and checked the wound.
Samantha did not stop her this time. “Is he going to be fine?”
Irene ignored her as she focused on checking Ricky–she found a shallow cut on top of his head, but it was not life–threatening at all.
She deftly stopped the bleeding, and the ambulance soon arrived, taking Ricky to the hospital while a worried Samantha followed.
With that, Irene was now fully in charge of the funeral arrangements.
As she entered the hall, she scowled when she saw the urn of ashes placed on a table.
Samantha had Lionel’s body cremated before Sheryl could return, preventing Sheryl from seeing Lionel one last time.
She clenched her fist in frustration–Samantha was utterly heinous!
Bzzt-
Her phone started to ring–it was a call from Sheryl.
She would soon arrive in Cloud City, and needed Irene to give her a ride.
Irene quickly took a taxi, arriving at the station and waited for a while until Sheryl arrived.
Tommy was almost two months old now, and his cheeks were very pudgy.
Irene was overjoyed and excited to see her boy again, her heart almost melting as she took him from Sheryl’s arms.
She felt that this was the happiest moment in her life, but her eyes felt so puffy she could not even laugh.
