“Clarissa, no matter what, Nancy is your sister without blood relation. How can you say she is… is a dog…” Eileen couldn’t bear to see her own daughter being insulted like this and wanted to argue for her daughter.
But to Clarissa, this sounded like adding fuel to the fire.
Clarissa turned to Eileen and said hatefully, “If you hadn’t insisted on entering the Schultz family, how could I have become sisters with your daughter? Let me tell you, you are just parasites of the Schultz family! Your daughter is the dog of the Schultz family, and so are you!”
Eileen trembled all over. “How can you say that?”
“Why can’t I say that? I can do whatever I want. Even if I hit you, my dad won’t say anything!” Clarissa raised her hand and was about to slap her stepmother.
But before her hand could touch Eileen, it was intercepted by
Nancy.
“Stop!” Nancy stopped Clarissa and said, “You can hit me, but don’t hit my mom. No matter what, she is still your stepmother!”
“Stepmother? I don’t even know what kind of fox charm your mom used to seduce my dad! You and your mother should have been kicked out of the Schultz family long ago!” Clarissa insisted on hitting
Eileen with an imposing manner.
In order to protect her mother, Nancy stood in front of her and took the hit from Clarissa.
But even so, Clarissa still felt it wasn’t enough. She dragged Nancy to the balcony and pinched her neck with both hands, as if she wanted to strangle her to death!
Nancy tried to push Clarissa away, but she had been beaten before and was already weak.
Now being choked by the other party, her breathing became more and more difficult.
The weaker Nancy was, the more ruthless Clarissa became.
In the midst of the pushing and shoving, Nancy’s upper body had already been pushed out onto the balcony by Clarissa. If this continued, she would be pushed off the balcony entirely. Eileen, who was standing nearby, became anxious.
“Clarissa, let go quickly! You can’t take Nancy’s life no matter what!” Eileen rushed over, trying to pull
Clarissa’s hand away.
“Get out of here!” Clarissa pushed Eileen away in anger.
Eileen was originally standing by the edge of the balcony. When Clarissa pushed her, she stumbled backwards and couldn’t steady herself. At that moment, the balcony railing behind her suddenly came loose.
“Ah!” Eileen’s body fell straight down from the balcony.
“Mom!” Nancy caught a glimpse of her mother’s falling body from the corner of her eye.
She pushed Clarissa with all her might, trying to grab her mother’s hand.
But it was too late!
She didn’t grab anything and could only watch as her mother fell from the balcony and landed heavily on a planter below.
The planter shattered.
The mixture of blood and soil from the planter became a glaring dark red.
“Mom!” Nancy trembled all over, turned around and quickly ran down the stairs to where her mother had fallen!
At this moment, there was a pool of blood at the back of her mother’s head, her face was pale, and her eyes were tightly closed, which made Nancy extremely frightened.
She didn’t dare to move her mother’s body, but with trembling hands, she reached for her phone and searched for it on her body.
She needed to make a call and get 120 here quickly!
Her mother was her only true relative, and she couldn’t let anything happen to her!
There was still a faint breath coming from her mother’s nose.
She quickly dialed 120 and explained her mother’s situation to he operator, giving her address.
After she finished speaking, Nancy couldn’t stop her tears from falling.
She had complained about her mother before.
She resented her mother for wanting an easier life and bringing her into the Schultz family, where she lived like a servant.
She had no dignity, all because the Schultz family took her in!
She had wanted to leave the Schultz family with her mother many times, but her mother refused, so she left on her own when she could support herself.
She wanted to cut ties with the Schultz family.
But her mother stayed with the Schultz family, allowing Clarissa to boss her around and abuse her in front of Nancy.
She had resented and hated her mother for it!
But she never thought her mother would fall off the balcony trying to save her.
Since her mother had always been so weak and had only watched her being tortured by Clarissa, why did she have to rush out and try to stop her this time?
Why did she have to rush out?
Why did she have to stop Clarissa?
Nancy kept asking herself over and over again, tears streaming down her face.
But when she looked up, all she saw was Clarissa looking down with a cold, indifferent expression.
There was no fear or worry on her face, only a sense of superiority.
The ambulance arrived quickly.
Nancy followed the ambulance to the hospital.
Her mother was undergoing emergency surgery, and Nancy stayed outside the operating room, praying that the surgery would be successful.
Six hours later, the surgery was finally over, but when Nancy saw the doctor’s regretful expression, her heart sank.
“Although the surgery was successful, when the patient fell, her head hit a potted plant and some fragments got stuck in her brain. Although we have removed the fragments, it is unlikely that the patient will wake up,” the doctor said.
Nancy stumbled, “What does that mean? Will my mother never wake up again?”
“There is a possibility that she may become a vegetable, but of course, she may wake up soon,” the doctor said, trying to comfort her.
The last sentence was meant to console her.
Over the next few days, Nancy watched her comatose mother in the hospital room, feeling a sharp pain in her heart.
Her mother had not woken up during these days, and many of the data indicated that there was a high possibility of her becoming a vegetable.
A vegetable…this was something she had never thought of before.
After leaving the hospital, she went to the police station and found out that the Schultz family claimed that her mother accidentally fell from the balcony.
And there’s even a maid who can prove it!
How is that possible!
Mother was clearly pushed by Clarissa and hit the balcony railing before falling!
“Then…what about Clarissa?! What did she say?” Nancy asked.
“Miss Schultz is only a witness. She also saw your mother fall, and she tried to grab her but unfortunately failed. As for your testimony that Miss Schultz pushed your mother, there is no evidence or witness to support it,” the police said.
In other words, her testimony alone cannot prove anything!
How could this be happening!
Nancy left the police station and went straight to the Schultz family.
Even if the maid did witness everything, her statement could only mean that she was also bribed by the
Schultz family!
When she arrived at the Schultz family, Francis and Clarissa were both there.
As soon as they saw Nancy, their faces darkened.
“Aren’t you supposed to be taking care of your mother in the hospital?” Francis said coldly.
Nancy looked at Francis and suddenly felt a bit unfamiliar.
She used to think that Francis had genuine feelings for her mother, even though he loved his own daughter more. Otherwise, why would he marry a poor woman who even had to bring her own oil can?
But now, she wasn’t so sure.
These days, my mother is lying in the hospital. Francis only came once at the beginning and hasn’t been back since it was determined that my mother was likely to become a vegetable.
“I went to the police station and saw the witness’s testimony. It was clearly Clarissa who pushed my mother, causing her to fall. Why did the maid have to give false testimony?!” Nancy questioned.
“False testimony? Who said it was false?” Francis said displeasedly. “The maid only said she saw it.
Your mother fell down by accident. Don’t blame others.”
“No, my mother clearly…”
Before Nancy could finish her sentence, Francis interrupted her, “Listen to me. Your mother fell down by herself. If you dare to spread rumors outside and bring any bad influence to Clarissa, don’t blame me for being merciless!”
Nancy was stunned, but Clarissa sneered, “Nancy, have you ever thought about who is paying for your mother’s medical expenses while she’s lying in the hospital? If it weren’t for the Schultz family paying for it, your mother would have been kicked out of the hospital by now!”
“Clarissa!” Nancy stared at the person in front of her. “My mother fell down and has been in a coma until now. Have you ever felt guilty?”
The other party laughed as if she had heard a funny joke, “Why should I feel guilty? Your mother fell down by herself. Your words are really funny. Do you think your mother became a vegetable and you’re afraid you won’t get any benefits from the Schultz family in the future, so you want to slander me?”
Nancy understood that this woman in front of her had no guilt at all!
Even when her mother became a vegetable, Clarissa was still happy!
As for Francis…his previous words were enough to show that his affection for my mother was pitifully small.
“Okay, you can go now. If there’s nothing else, don’t come here again. I will continue to pay for your mother’s medical expenses out of the obligation of being a husband, but I will dissolve the marriage with your mother. In the future, you will have no relationship with the Schultz family!” Francis said mercilessly.
Nancy felt a sense of desolation in her heart. She had once hoped that she had no relationship with the
