Filed to story: I Got Married Without You
In her memory, her mother was always gentle, even when speaking, she wouldn’t raise her voice too much.
But the reality was that her mother not only shouted angrily, but also looked hideous while doing so.
“I want Rosalyn’s heart, and I want her bone marrow. Go and bring her to me!”
Faced with this demand, Gigi’s first reaction was that her mother must not be able to bear the torment of illness, which was why she became so unreasonable. “Mom, bringing her back won’t help.”
“I don’t care!”
Alice reached out her bony hand and grabbed Gigi’s sleeve.
“I don’t care if it’s useful or not, I want to take her heart and extract her bone marrow!”
She’s gone mad!
Her brother was right, their mother had changed, she had become mentally twisted.
Gigi stared at Alice, who seemed like a madwoman, for a while, then pushed her hand away.
“Mother, my brother and I will continue to help you find other suitable donors. Just wait a little longer.”
“You and your brother have been searching for so long, but you haven’t found me a suitable organ. You’re both useless!”
Upon hearing this, Jonny, standing outside the door, felt a chill in his eyes.
The Brook Family was thought to be a warm and loving family, but behind that warmth was a harsh reality.
The mother blamed them for being useless, while the father only pursued profitable endeavors. This made the Brook Family no different from the Clark Family. “Gigi, tell your brother to quickly find a donor for me, or else I’ll have to dig out your hearts!”
Gigi found it hard to believe what she heard. She slowly straightened up and looked at the old lady lying in the bed, waving her hand aimlessly.
“Mom, please come to your senses. Both me and my brother are your children…”
“I am perfectly aware.”
Alice, who had struggled to sit up, stared coldly at Gigi with her dark and gloomy eyes.
“I gave birth to you, nurtured you, and sacrificed a lot. Now it’s time for you to repay me.”
Alice raised her skeletal hand and beckoned Gigi to come closer.
“Come, Gigi, come here and let Mommy see if your heart is still functioning properly…”
Upon hearing these words, Gigi knew that her mother had completely lost her sanity.
She reached out to press the button, wanting to call for the psychiatrist to examine her mother’s mind, but suddenly felt a sharp pain on the back of her hand. Looking up, she met Alice’s bloodshot eyes. Alice held a fruit knife and glared menacingly at Gigi.
“Be a good girl and let Mommy see your heart.”
As Alice lunged forward, Gigi didn’t move. She thought that if she stabbed her mother, it might make her feel a little better, so she allowed it to happen.
It was her way of repaying her.
However, when she actually made the stab, Gigi still felt sorrowful.
“I thought you wouldn’t be able to do it…”
After all, she was her child, and one would always hesitate, but Alice really did stab her.
Jonny, who arrived a step too late, didn’t know what to feel when he saw this scene. He rushed over and snatched the knife from Alice’s hand. “Are you alright?”
The wound wasn’t deep and didn’t hit any vital organs. It was just bleeding. Gigi nodded, shaking her head.
“I’m fine.”
Perhaps seeing Gigi’s blood and Alice’s own emotions, Alice gradually calmed down.
She collapsed onto the bed, clutching the oxygen mask, desperately trying to breathe.
She exerted all her strength, wanting to inhale oxygen. It was evident how much she wanted to stay alive.
But fate didn’t give her that chance. No matter how hard she tried to hold on and strive for survival, her life came to an end.
Alice, who knew she was on the brink of death, reached out her hand to the two of them-
“I…don’t want to die.”
Her voice was weak, and her outstretched hand trembled.
This version of her, so different from the one who had just moments ago wielded a knife, seemed like a completely different person, as if the previous act had been a mere facade.
Jonny and Gigi exchanged a glance upon seeing Alice in this state, unable to discern whether she was acting or truly on the verge of death.
Gigi, who had always believed in her mother, even after being stabbed by her, clutched her wound, bent down, and held her hand.
“Mom, I don’t want you to die either, but I’m truly sorry for not being able to find a suitable donor for you…”
These words, free of any grudges, caused Alice’s eyes to gradually fill with tears.
“Gigi, my child… It’s Mom’s fault.”
Her apology brought some comfort to Gigi, who shook her head in response.
“I don’t blame you.”
Alice blinked her eyelashes slightly, as if saying thank you for granting her redemption in her final moments.
She struggled to shift her gaze towards Jonny.
“Son…”
Looking at Alice’s other outstretched hand, Jonny hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take it.
“It seems Mom won’t be able to wait for your donor…”
Jonny held her hand and unconsciously applied some force.
“Mother, I’ll go get the doctor.”
