Die On SAT Test Day
Chapter 1
On the day of SAT, my husband was going to personally take our son to the examination room, but he received a call halfway and said he had to leave for an urgent matter.
He left our son on the road and asked me to take our son there.
I was waiting for surgery in the hospital. After receiving the call, I had to postpone the surgery, endure the pain, and rush over to pick up my son.
My son finally arrived at the examination room, but was 15 minutes late and could not enter.
He couldn't accept it and suffered an acute heart attack and was taken away by ambulance.
The only quick-acting heart pill that could save my son was kept by my husband's assistant and could only be obtained with his consent.
When I called him, I heard the voice of his ex-girlfriend, Lisha Bates.
"Charlie is cooking for me. What's wrong?"
Ignoring her brag, I was anxious to save my son and spoke urgently.
"Ask Charlie to answer the phone. Our son is in danger in the intensive care unit. He needs the quick-acting heart-saving pills."
Soon, my husband's sarcastic voice came from the phone.
"Don't pretend to be pitiful and make up lies because of jealousy.
"My son is taking SAT. If you curse him again, I will be rude!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
I called him many times, but he never answered. And then his phone was turned off.
Lisha sent me a photo to show off. My husband, Charlie Hale, was helping her peel shrimps with a focused and gentle look.
On that same day, my son died due to failed rescue efforts.
He left me forever.
"The patient is in a very critical condition. Didn't you say you have a quick-acting heart-saving pill? Can you give it to the patient now?"
The attending physician walked out of the intensive care unit with a serious look.
"A sudden heart attack is extremely serious. If the patient is not treated within two hours, his life will be in danger!"
Two hours?
I was frozen.
My lips couldn't stop trembling. "Doctor, please help stabilize my son's condition. I'll contact someone to send medicine now!"
I was anxious when my son was in danger.
I hurriedly reached for my phone. My legs became weak, and I almost fell.
The doctor took a look at my pale face and kindly reminded me.
"You look weak. Get a checkup some time."
I nodded, but didn't have time to think about myself.
I called Charlie over and over again.
His cell phone was off.
I was so anxious that I broke out in cold sweats. My son's life was in danger. Charlie did not answer the phone. I could only contact his assistant, Tom.
"Mrs. Hale, I'm sorry. I want to help you, but this medicine is expensive. I have to get Dr. Hale's consent before I can do so."
Tom said that he didn't dare to act on his own.
It was because all the drugs in the laboratory were registered. Charlie's consent must be obtained before they could be prescribed.
I understood Tom.
But there was no other way. My son’s condition was critical. I must get the quick-acting heart-saving pills immediately.
I asked Tom to tell me Charlie's location.
Two minutes later, he sent a location, showing that Charlie was in a hotel.
I drove to the hotel and was about to rush in. I ran into Lisha holding Charlie's arm and walking out of the hotel affectionately.
Charlie always frowned when he saw me.
But when facing his ex-girlfriend, Lisha, he was so gentle.
At this moment, I didn’t have time to care about these. I just want to get the quick-acting heart-saving pills as soon as possible to save my son.
"Charlie! Give me the quick-acting heart-saving pills!"
As soon as he saw me, Charlie instantly turned cold and frowned again.
"Fiona, are you done yet?
"I've already told you that Lisha has no one to rely on in this city. I was just helping her, but I didn't expect you to follow us!!"
He looked at me with disgust.
Without even asking, he was certain that I rejected Lisha.
He me here and thought I was following them.
I sneered in my heart.
My husband cheated on me, but I was not cheap.
What was more, I didn't even want to follow them.
Since Lisha treated Charlie as a treasure, then I didn’t want him.
Now, I just wanted my son to be safe.
I didn't argue with him and got straight to the point.
"I didn't follow you. Come with me to get the medicine. Sam has a sudden heart attack and is in a very dangerous condition. There's only one hour left. Come with me to the hospital!"
I reached out to pull Charlie, but he pushed me away.
He frowned.
Lisha stood beside Charlie, with a sardonic smile.
"Fiona, I know you blame me for occupying your husband, but we are just friends now. Even if you want to take him away, just tell me directly. Why do you have to say such cruel words and curse your own son?"
What?
After Lisha finished speaking, she looked at Charlie tenderly.
"Charlie, don't blame Fiona. She must be upset seeing you spend so much time with me. And don't blame her for being jealous of me. If it were me, I would be even more sad."
How vicious!
She convicted me with just a few words and said that I was jealous of her.
If I wasn't so eager to save my son, I would beat her up!
