I Left When His Mistress Became His Bride
Chapter 2
A deafening crash shattered my world, sending everything spiraling out of control.
When the airbags deployed, I could almost hear the unsettling crunch of bones. Pain surged through me like an unforgiving wave, and my ears rang incessantly. Mustering what little strength I had left, I dialed Kolson Kennedy’s number. When the call connected, it felt like I was clutching my last lifeline.
“Help me…”
“Stop bothering me.” His cold response plunged my heart into despair. My consciousness began to blur.
When I came to, all I saw was the blinding white light and the shadows of people moving around me.
“Have you reached her family? This is a serious accident; we need a relative’s signature!”
“I’ve tried several times, but no one is answering.”
“She’s pregnant – the baby…”
“Use another number, keep trying! We can't ignore this!” Dr. Neil Wilson insisted urgently.
I felt my life slipping away and my consciousness fading. In the haze, Kolson’s impatient voice cut through.
“What’s going on?”
“Mr. Kennedy, this is Neil Wilson from the city hospital.”
"Leah Snyder, Miss Snyder was in a serious car accident, and she’s in critical condition. We need you to come to the hospital."
“Is she faking an accident to get away for a few days?”
“I’m not going! If she wants to die, let her die! Leah, I’ve spoiled you too much!”
“I’m busy now. Even if it’s a matter of life and death, don’t bother me!”
Kolson’s voice faded, leaving my heart cold. Turns out my life meant so little to him.
I heard the doctor’s urgent plea beside me: “You must survive for your child too! He shielded you from the worst of it; you can’t give up now.”
With every ounce of strength, I opened my eyes: “I... I’ll sign it myself…”
The doctor looked surprised but quickly nodded: “Alright! Prepare for surgery!”
The operation was a success; I survived, but the child was lost. I lay in the hospital for a week without a call or message from Kolson, as if he’d completely forgotten about me. Meanwhile, Marianna Woods’s social media buzzed constantly, displaying a stream of affectionate posts.
