I stopped insisting on visiting my mother, and my spirits began to wane gradually.
I found myself sleeping more, awake less and less each day. It felt like the right time to properly say goodbye to Lily.
Perhaps experiencing a brief rally, my physical pain intensified in the following days, yet mentally I felt more alert.
Apparently, hearing I was improving, Zoey couldn't stay away.She came to the hospital while Sean was out. Upon seeing her, Lily snapped, "We don't allow bitches or dogs here. You'd better leave now, or I'll make you unrecognizable even to your own mother."
Contrary to her usual self, Zoey suddenly knelt by my bed, crying and begging, "Annie, I'm pregnant with Mr. Smith's child. You're dying now.Could you do me a favor and give me back my child's father."
She had been pregnant for three months, which coincided with the duration of my illness. It turned out that while Sean professed to need me, he was in another woman's arms.
What need did he have for a dying woman, after all? He was just lying to me. Fortunately, I never believed him.
Zoey, in tears, tried to grab my arm and nearly pulled me off the bed. I lacked the strength to resist.
Although Lily shielded me, she still suffered several scratches in the process. Suddenly, someone grabbed Zoey by the hair and pulled her away.
Sean, with clenched teeth as if ready to devour her, furiously yelled, "Didn't I tell you if you dared to bother my wife, I'd kill you?"
Zoey's face turned pale, and just as she was about to speak, Lily grabbed a pillow and threw it at their faces, screaming, "Take this whore and get out!"
