My Mother Died Because of My Wife's Cruelty
Chapter 1
We encountered a natural disaster on the road and my mother was hit on the head by a falling stone and was seriously injured.
The ambulance was slow to arrive, so I begged my wife Alice Lorenz to take us to the hospital.
However, Alice forcefully pushed my mother out of the car and angrily scolded me.
"Today is Nolan's birthday. She won't die if 911 arrives a little late. Damn! The blood is all over the car."
Then she drove away.
My mother died from excessive blood loss.
I finally gave up our marriage and showed Alice the divorce agreement.
But Alice, in tears, knelt at my feet and begged for my forgiveness.
——
It was eight hours after the accident when my mother was taken to the hospital.
The mountainous terrain and the typhoon made it very difficult to rescue her.
The doctor came forward to check my mother, who was already unconscious and covered in blood, then he looked at me, shook his head, and sighed deeply.
"Young man, if you had brought her earlier, she wouldn't have lost her life..."
Before the doctor's comforting hand could fall on my shoulder, I flung myself to my knees and pulled the doctor's pants tightly.
My mother was the only relative I had in this world, and she was also a very important belief in my life.
I repeatedly knocked my head heavily on the ground.
Tears mixed with the blood of me and my mother and smeared messily across our faces, giving off the smell of despair.
"Doctor, please... I can't live without my mother..."
Once when such scenes appeared on TV, I even talked to my mother about it.
"If kneeling down works, there will probably be no dead people in the world..."
My mother sighed as she ironed my shirt.
"Vincent, if I have such a day, you will probably..."
I hurriedly covered my mother's mouth.
I never expected that it would actually come true.
In the most desperate moments, people only wanted to pray to God for a ray of hope.
The doctor bent down and patted my shoulder forcefully.
"Young man, your mother has passed away, but you must stay strong..."
Then he instructed his colleagues to assist me in handling my mother's affairs.
It was so cold in the morgue.
I took out a tissue and gently wiped the blood stains off my mother's face.
Although we lived a better life now, my mother's face was still covered in wrinkles.
My mother had been kind and generous throughout her life.
Especially, she treated my wife even better than me.
We went out in bad weather this time because Alice wanted to drink the soup from the outskirts of the city.
After the accident, my mother never blamed her. Even at the end of her life, she was still admonishing me.
"Vincent, don't blame Alice. I can understand her. It's indeed inauspicious for the new car to be stained with blood. Women should be kindly treated. Don't be so indifferent to her."
Since Nolan Watson returned to New York nearly a year ago, my marriage with Alice had long been in name only.
The reason for still maintaining it was mostly because I didn't want my mother to worry about me.
But at that moment, I realized that my mother had long been aware...
My mother didn't know that Alice would never be grateful.
I had been working hard for eight years, and so had my mother.
But our efforts couldn't win Nolan's 300 days.
I gently wiped my mother's cold face over and over again.
As I wiped, the wound on my mother's forehead was exposed.
The wound was not very big.
If Alice hadn't left, my mother would definitely not have died.
The scene of Alice driving away kept appearing in my mind.
I seldom spoke to her in a pleading tone, but for the sake of my wounded mother, I almost got down on my knees and begged her.
But what I got in return was her increasingly excessive insults and abuse.
"Vincent Hill, your mother is just as poor and pathetic as you. She has a worthless life and is also as pretentious as you!"
While speaking, she pulled my mother, whose head was covered in blood, out of the car.
Then she slammed the car door.
The ear-splitting sound of the door closing seemed to be a heavy hammer that hit me hard in my heart.
At that moment, I knew that if something happened to my mother, my marriage with Alice should also come to an end...
