This slap was so vicious that his face was burning with pain.
"Ha! You've just made a trip to the gates of hell, yet you still have that much strength left?" Isai's gaze turned even sharper.
Ember panted as she stared at him.
For a while, Isai looked at her and finally laughed. "You want to die? There's no chance I'll let you. For a day I'm alive, I won't let you die! Thirty years was way too short. I think we can tangle for twenty more years!"
Hearing what he said, Ember forcefully pulled out her hand and pointed at the door with trembling hands. "Get out! Get out of here!"
Stanley, who had been waiting outside the ward, heard the movement inside. Pushing Oscar away, he kicked the door open and walked in. He strode to the hospital bed and looked at Ember, who was breathing heavily, and asked with a cold face, "What did he do to you?"
In reply, Ember shook her head. "No... no, tell him to get out. I don't want to see him!"
"Don't worry."
With that, Stanley nodded, stood up, and blocked in front of Ember. He looked coldly at the man in front of him. "I'll give you two a minute to disappear from this place. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
Seeing that his attitude was so bad, Oscar frowned and wanted to say something, but Isai stopped him by saying, "I've finished talking to your mother. You can accompany her now."
As if nothing had happened, Isai smiled at the woman on the bed and said, "Have a good rest and take care of your body. I'll pick you up for the celebration of New Year!"
Ember turned her face away. Her expression was cold, as if she had not heard him.
After Isai straightened up his clothes, he then left with Oscar.
As soon as the door closed, Ember let out a sigh of relief. She gasped as if she was breathless. Seeing this, Stanley immediately put the oxygen mask on her.
Slowly calming herself, Ember tightly held her son's hand while her eyelids were still trembling.
Big Valley University.
Before Sharon came to school, she had called Melody. Worried that she might bump into Shawn, she asked Melody to accompany her to school.
"Have you decided yet? Are you going to take a leave from school?" Melody asked Sharon as she saw her constantly looking at her phone in a nonchalance state.
Melody's question pulled back Sharon's senses. With a nod, she replied, "Yes. After thinking about what you and Stanley said, I think it makes sense. For me, as a pregnant college student to attend school, it would be quite the news. Frankly, I don't think I can handle the attention coming from the others. So, I think the best solution for me is to take a leave in my studies."
"Well, you should have thought of that sooner. Why bother coming to school when you're pregnant? Anyway, after you have given birth, there will definitely be a nanny at home to care for the baby. So, you don't have to worry about it then." Melody said, and then she sighed, "Can't believe that in a blink of an eye, you're already pregnant."
"Yes, so when are you and Marshall getting married?"
The love between Melody and Marshall was one that Sharon envied.lt was ordinary yet real, and their love showed all the goodness.
Hearing what Sharon said, Melody blushed. "He said... We'll get married after I graduate."
"Really?!" Sharon was both surprised and delighted. "Then you don't have to worry. It'll soon be here. A year will pass by very quickly."
Melody glanced at her and said, "I'm not in a hurry. You're saying it like I have a great desire to get married.
"Fine, fine! You don't have a desire to get married. It's Marshall that has a deep desire to marry you."
"Sharon, you're so naughty. I did not expect that your teasing skills have improved..."
"No, you're mistaken. I'm still that innocent and lovely Sharon."
"Don't be so shameless..."
