"I really didn't expect you to be so petty.You have to argue about everything.You're just like your mother!"
"Not only are you poor,but you're also mean-spirited!"
I didn't expect that after being married for five years,this was how Jack tperception of my mother.
His words suddenly wrenched my heart,and tears welled up in my eyes uncontrollably."You despise my mother,right?Jack,don't worry.You'll never see her again."
Jack looked around and frowned."What?Just because I brought Lily back,your mother ran away from home?"
I roared desperately,"No!She's already dead!You drove her to death!"
Jack stood there stunned."What did you say?"
Probably having never seen me in such a state of grief,he panicked for a moment."Grace,don't lie to me.Your mother has always been fine.How could she die?"
Lily also interrupted beside him,"Jack,she said her mother is dead,but where's the body?Where is it?Don't be fooled by her!"
This time,Jack ignored her and instead spoke to me patiently,"Grace,don't lie to me.If you're afraid that your mother will be unhappy,I'll find Lily another place to stay as soon as I find a place in a few days."
"Are you satisfied now?"
I looked at him mockingly."Impossible.Give up on that idea."
Lily suddenly collapsed on the sofa.
Jack's face changed.He touched her forehead and urged me impatiently,"Grace,hurry up!Lily has a fever again!"
I sneered."Why should I?Is her fever my fault?"
"Don't forget that this house was bought by my mother!What right do you have to bring this suspicious woman home!"
Jack roared loudly,"Just because this house is registered in my name!"
"Get out if you're not willing to clean up!"
The burning anger in my heart made my heart ache with fury.
My eyes were wide with rage.I endured it again and again,then picked up the fruit plate on the table and threw it at him."Jack,how could you let an outside woman live in the wedding house that my mother bought with all her savings for us?Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"
The fruit plate shattered at his feet.
Jack's face was terrifyingly gloomy."Grace,do you think I won't do anything to you?"
"If you threaten her again,believe it or not,I'll stop your mother's medicine!"
Intense pain welled up in my heart,making it almost impossible for me to breathe.
I didn't expect that Jack would threaten me with my mother's life for Lily's sake.
Jack was a leading doctor in the hospital and had always been in charge of my mother's illness.He had my mother's special medicine in his hands.
If my mother were still alive,maybe I would have made concessions.
But she was already dead.
I looked at him coldly."Jack,sign the divorce agreement quickly and leave this place with Lily.Otherwise,I'll call the police."
Jack suddenly smiled and said in a cruel tone,"Fine.Since you're so stubborn,don't blame me for being ruthless."
After saying that,he picked up his phone and called the hospital."The symptoms of patient 028 have been relieved a bit in the past two days.Stop the medicine."
As soon as he finished speaking,he looked down at me haughtily."Apologize when you're ready,and you'll get your mother's medication then."
He stared at me intently,waiting for me to bow my head and apologize to Lily in the next second.
But he was being overly optimistic.
At this moment,a sigh came from the other end of the phone,"Doctor Jack,patient 028 had a sudden heart attack a week ago and didn't survive the rescue.What's wrong?Don't you know about this?"
Jack was stunned for a few seconds before reacting.His eyes were filled with shock and anger."What are you talking about!I'm asking about patient 028!Not someone else!"
The person on the other end of the phone said,"It's patient 028.Doctor Jack,I'm not lying.Your mother-in-law has passed away.Didn't your wife tell you?"
