On the day of my husband, Roderick Evans's birthday, our son Lucas suddenly developed acute leukemia and was in critical condition.

Roderick obtained the only effective medicine from the drug supplier.

I was extremely fortunate and thought that Lucas's illness could definitely be cured, but I didn't expect Roderick to disappear and cut off contact with me.

The doctor urged me to quickly deliver the medicine, and I finally got through to Roderick's phone.

Unexpectedly, it was his secretary Lisa Owens who answered the phone.

"Madam, Mr. Evans is accompanying me at the pet hospital. Is there something urgent that you have to call now?"

My heart was pounding, and I shouted loudly,

"Lucas's condition has worsened, and the hospital said that the special medicine is urgently needed. Please send it quickly!"

Lisa chuckled.

"The child happened to have his condition worsen today. Mrs. Carter, you really know how to pick the timing."

After Roderick heard it, there was impatience in his tone.

"Just because you're jealous, you're joking about the child's illness, Ivy Wright, I really misunderstood you."

He hung up the phone directly.

And Lucas lost his life forever.

...

"Didn't we agree that the miracle drug would be delivered today? What kind of mother are you!"

"I'm telling you, if the medicine doesn't arrive within half a day, you won't be able to keep this child!"

Half a day!

I was exhausted and almost fainting.

As soon as I thought of Lucas still in the operating room, I instantly became sober, "Doctor, I will definitely deliver the medicine within half a day."

The doctor suppressed his anger and looked at me.

"The source of this special medicine is in Roderick's hands. The hospital has also contacted him, but there has been no response from Mr. Evans."

I was shocked, and the tears that I had been holding back in my eyes were about to burst.

Roderick was the child's father. It turned out that not only did I contact him, but the hospital also contacted him.

"Thank you, I will go find him now and deliver the medicine within half a day."

I didn't know how I walked out of the hospital. I have called Roderick dozens of times.

But the calls were hung up one after another. I desperately wiped away the tears in my eyes, tears filled my eyes, and I couldn't see the words on my phone clearly.

Until I accidentally opened Lisa's Instagram with blurred eyes and saw what she posted,

[No matter when, as long as he is there, I don't have to be afraid.]

I saw her caption accompanying a photo, and in the photo, Roderick was holding a dog in a pet hospital.

I was on the verge of collapsing, so I immediately called Roderick on WhatsApp.

The phone finally connected, but I didn't expect it to be Lisa who answered.

"Mrs. Evans, what exactly is the matter? Mr. Evans is busy with something!"

Lisa's tone was full of disdain, "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up the phone first."

I could hear her soft and weak tone, as if she was about to take control of everything. The fury in my heart kept surging.

"Shut up, where is Roderick? Let him answer the phone!"

Lisa burst into tears and I heard her complaining to Roderick.

Roderick took the phone call with a hint of annoyance in his tone.

"Have you caused enough trouble? Lisa already told you, I have something to do now!"

My heart felt like it had been poured with a bucket of ice water, so cold and painful.

"Roderick, Lucas's condition has worsened. The doctor said we urgently need the special medicine. Hurry up and bring it!"

I gritted my teeth and suppressed my emotions. As long as he brings the medicine, I can endure anything.

"The doctor said before that his illness is not that serious. Mr. Evans, Mrs. Evans is just overreacting. Or maybe she just doesn't like you accompanying me, that's why she said that?"

Lisa's voice had a hint of crying.

After listening, Roderick's tone became even more annoyed.

"Enough, Ivy Wright. I didn't expect you to use Lucas's life to be jealous. I will send the medicine tomorrow. Don't call me if there's nothing wrong!"

I heard the sound of the phone being hung up. When I called back, Roderick didn't answer.

I looked at the time, there were still 4 hours left. I couldn't give up.

I saw that Lisa's Instagram also had the location information, so I immediately took a taxi to that pet hospital.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the hospital, I saw Lisa holding the dog in Roderick's arms.

He wiped away her tears and kissed her on the cheek to comfort her.

When Roderick saw me approaching, his face immediately changed and his eyes were filled with disgust.

"Ivy, I've already said that I will deliver the medicine later. Why are you bothering me? Aren't you annoying?"

He looked at me with disdain on his face. If looks could kill, he would tear me apart.

Clearly, I was the one protected by the law as his wife, but he openly kissed his secretary without feeling any guilt.

I clenched my fist, feeling the pressure building up in my eyes.

It's not worth shedding another tear for a man like him.

But I must get the special medicine in his hands.

"Roderick Evans, I don't care who you want to stay with here. Lucas only has half a day to be saved. Hurry up and give me the special medicine!"

I stepped forward and grabbed his arm, wanting him to take me to get the medicine immediately.

Lisa reached out and held Roderick's hand, leaning against his chest and sobbing softly.

"Mr. Evans, Lucas will definitely be fine. He has always been in good health. But Papi has just been rescued, and my foot is sprained. It really hurts."

"Madam, I know you just want Mr. Evans to go back. If he sends me back, I will let him go back. Is that not enough?"

I reached out and held Roderick's arm, unable to hold back the tears in my eyes.

I felt sorry for my Lucas. He was diagnosed with leukemia when he was two years old, and it's been so hard for him to survive until now.

That was Roderick's birthday. Lucas was tortured by illness early in the morning, with a pale face. He was still pulling on my clothes, asking if his dad could come back. He saved a lot of pocket money and wanted to buy his dad a day off to celebrate his birthday.

But now, he can't find his dad.

"Roderick, I beg you, give me the medicine. I'm kneeling down and begging you, is that not enough?"

My body gradually slid to the ground. For Lucas, I can bow my head to Roderick.

"Mr. Evans, Mrs. Evans even knelt down just to make you go back. Maybe I should go back by myself."

I looked at Lisa with anger, and Lisa hid behind Roderick again, "Mr. Evans, I'm so scared."

Roderick looked at me angrily and threw away the hand that grabbed his arm.

"Ivy, if you want to act, just kneel here alone. I'm not in the mood to watch you act!"

He pushed me away, and my head hit the nearby flower bed. The pain swept through my whole body.

...

I looked at Roderick's back as he left, ignoring the wound on my head, and stood up unsteadily, taking big steps forward.

"Roderick, don't listen to Lisa. I didn't lie. You can call Lucas's doctor. I beg you, give me the medicine!"

Roderick glanced at me with disgust, let Lisa get into the passenger seat, and quickly got in the car.

I quickly reached out and grabbed the car door, the blood on my forehead flowing into my eyes. I didn't have time to wipe it, holding onto Roderick's car door tightly.

"You don't mind embarrassing yourself, but I do. Lisa just sprained her foot. I was just taking her home. Do you have to make a fuss here?"

He kicked me in the stomach, reached out and closed the car door, and left.

That woman just sprained her foot. Can't she take a taxi home? Does she have to be personally escorted back?

I know I can't give up. I keep video calling Roderick, but every time it's hung up.

Later, when I sent him a message, there was already a red exclamation mark at the end.

When Lucas's attending physician called me, I almost collapsed.

"Ms. Wright, Lucas can't hold on anymore. If you're free, please come back to the hospital as soon as possible to see the child."

I felt dizzy and didn't even know how the call was hung up. I looked at the car that had already gone far away, filled with infinite resentment.

Ignoring the wound on my head, I picked up the phone and called a taxi. When I arrived at the hospital, all I saw was Lucas's lifeless face. He will never smile again, and he doesn't even have a breath.

I didn't even have a chance to say the last words to him, and I was separated from my only relative by life and death.

I forced myself to leave the hospital with my child and took care of all the arrangements for Lucas's funeral alone.

The day he was buried, I fainted when I got home and had a long dream.

In the dream, I saw the me who had just given birth to Lucas again, and I kissed him on the cheek.

He waved his little fists and cried loudly because he couldn't eat enough.

Although no one would help me, I had sensible Lucas, and there was an extra bond in my life that love couldn't bring.

I was really happy with Lucas. Every day, I see him grow a little bit, open his mouth and call me mom, and wipe away my tears and kiss me when I can't wait for Roderick to come back and celebrate my birthday with me.

Everything changed when Lucas was two years old. The sudden leukemia exhausted me, and I spent every day in fear and worry. I was afraid that my Lucas would suddenly leave me one day.

So every day in the hospital, I took care of him carefully.

I just wanted to cherish every day I spent with him.

Roderick said there is a special medicine that can cure Lucas's illness. I was overjoyed. If his illness is cured, he can live a normal life like other children.

When I woke up, I found myself still lying on the floor, and the feeling of dehydration reminded me that I have a fever now.

I looked at the photo of me and Lucas on the bedside table, and the dense tingling almost suffocated me. It was Lucas's second birthday, and Roderick promised to celebrate it with Lucas, but suddenly told me at noon that he had to go on a business trip.

And on that day, Lisa sent me a photo of a Cartier bracelet that Roderick gave her. It was also Lisa's birthday.

But Roderick completely forgot. He came back two days later and Lucas asked him repeatedly. He casually transferred 400 dollars to me as compensation.

I reached out and touched my heart, the painful feeling almost made me collapse.

I didn't want to stay in this place anymore. Without Lucas, what's the point of continuing this broken marriage with Roderick?

I took out my suitcase and packed my clothes, putting everything related to Lucas in the suitcase.

I didn't expect Roderick to call at this time.

I hung up the phone again and again, but he came back home within an hour.

When Roderick entered the door, I was dragging the suitcase to leave.

And Roderick reached out to stop me.

“Remember to bring Lucas to attend the company annual meeting. I will announce Lisa as the design director in the company, you better not think about bullying her again!”

He calmly uttered these words and slammed the door and left.

My heart hurt as if it's bleeding. Lucas was no longer here, and he actually organized an annual meeting to celebrate for that bitch!

These two people were really lower than low. Since he wanted me to go so much, I would make him pay the price!

Roderick's company annual meeting was attended by many partners.

It was because these partners know that Lisa is just Roderick's secretary, but many things in these gatherings have to be done through their wives.

And I have a good relationship with the wives in wealthy families.

So Roderick wanted me to go. Since he wanted me to bring Lucas, then I will bring Lucas on this trip.

I changed into a black dress and went to the company annual meeting with a portrait of Lucas in my arms.

When Roderick saw me, even the hand holding Lisa's waist loosened.

He walked towards me aggressively.

"Ivy, are you crazy? Who let you come like this? Where is Lucas?"

My chest was throbbing, Lucas has been gone for a long time!

I looked straight at Roderick.

"Isn't Lucas here?"

I reached out and picked up the portrait in my arms. Roderick slapped me in the face, leaving a big palm print on my face.

"Are you crazy? This is the company's annual meeting. Lucas is fine. Are you cursing him to death?"

Blood oozed from the corners of my lips. Lisa came forward to persuade Roderick.

"Madam, I'm sorry. Don't blame Mr. Evans. The medicine a few days ago was eaten by Papi as food, so it wasn't delivered to you. Mr. Evans has already urgently brought back another special medicine from abroad. Please don't be angry."

I looked up at Lisa, and my anger was out of control. I reached out my hand to my good wife and grabbed Lisa's hair, ready to slam her against the wall!

Lisa screamed in pain.

"Mr. Evans, save me!"

Roderick was about to step forward, but I slapped Lisa's face and grabbed her cheeks tightly.

"Everyone, take a good look. It was this woman who fed the special medicine prepared for my son by Roderick to the dog, causing my child to die. Take a good look at her face. If Roderick is gone, she will still be with someone else!"

I gritted my teeth and said, looking at Lisa's ugly face. I wished I could kill her.

Roderick snatched the image of Lucas from someone's hand and smashed it on my head. "Let go of me, are you crazy? Even if Lucas is dead, what does it have to do with Lisa? It's because you didn't take care of him!"

I watched Roderick throw Lucas's image on the ground, and Lisa's high heels stepped on it.

I crazily pushed away the scum man and the despicable woman, "Give me back Lucas's image, and get out of here!"

Lisa smiled, with Roderick's protection, she shamelessly trampled on Lucas's image.

There was a cry of surprise from the crowd.

"Mr. Evans, we all attended Lucas's funeral. At that time, we even asked Ivy why you didn't come. You are the child's biological father, but you were absent from the funeral!"

Roderick shivered all over, looking at the man who spoke, "This is impossible!"

"How could Lucas possibly die? You must have conspired to deceive me!"

"Are you even worthy of joining them to deceive you?"

I opened the video and placed it in front of Roderick.

Open your fucking eyes wide and take a good look. Is Lucas's body still frozen in the funeral home?
