Kendrick’s POV
I felt extrely scared as I stared at Christy’s pale face as she sobbed quietly.
There was this sudden feeling of loss that made my heart ache painfully.
I regretted not coming out of the room earlier when I first heard Lauretta’s voice.
Who knew she could be so vicious?.
Everything that happened flashed again in my mind.
When I heard Lauretta’s voice, I wanted to co out of the room but I heard Christy also standing up for herself so I thought it would be nice for her to put Lauretta in her place once and for all.
I stepped out of the bedroom when Christy ntioned her father, which I knew was Lauretta’s biggest sha which she hates bringing up.
They didn’t notice my presence and when Christy walked out of the door, I breathed a sigh of relief but who would have thought that my own mother could be so vicious.
There was no way she could call what she did a mistake because I saw her when she pushed Christy down the stairs.
I shook my head to focus on the road and when I looked at Christy again, her eyes were closed causing to panic.
I focused on driving and ran a few red lights before getting to the hospital. They imdiately brought over a stretcher and I carefully placed her on it.
"Christy"
"Christy, can you hear ?"
"My love, you will be fine"
I kept calling to her but she didn’t respond and her hands felt extrely cold which scared even more.
She was rushed into the ergency room and I had to wait outside. It felt like I couldn’t breathe as I rembered the pool of blood in the car when I carried her out.
There was this overwhelming ache and tightness in my chest that made breathing extrely painful.
I kept pacing around and couldn’t bring myself to sit as I felt scared.
Would things have turned out differently if I had been more understanding?
Or spoke to her when she was leaving?
Why did I do that to her?
I held my head in frustration when I rembered that my own mother was the one behind all this.
A sudden rush of footsteps ca from behind and I turned to check who was coming.
I froze when I saw Mason’s extrely furious face, it was the first ti that I was seeing him like this since I knew him. Gary and Jasper were behind him as well.
"Mas...Arggh" I was about to talk to him when he delivered a hard punch to my jaw.
The punch made take two forceful steps back before regaining my balance. Before I could catch my breath again, he followed with another two punches.
"Mason that’s enough" Gary said while pulling him away from while Jasper just kept glaring at .
"Do you know that I actually defended him in front of my family? I told them that she was safe with him but now look what he has done to her!" he yelled angrily while struggling out of Gary’s hold.
I couldn’t tell him that my mother had purposely pushed her down the stairs as it would definitely cause a problem between our families again.
"Do you think I am happy that this is happening? It’s my child’s life that is at stake here!" I yelled at him angrily.
"Your child?! My sister is fighting for her life and all you care about is your child?!" Kelvin’s voice bood in the hallway.
We all turned back and saw him storming over with their parents and Mira.
"Kelvin!" Gary quickly grabbed him as he charged furiously towards .
"Let go, I need to teach this bastard a lesson!" he yelled angrily and Jasper also joined in to hold him back.
Uncle Ethan’s expression was unreadable as he stared at while Mira and Aunty were crying sadly.
"I will definitely make sure the culprit is severely punished" Mason said and I looked at him in surprise.
How did he know it wasn’t an accident?
"What’s with that expression? Do you really think that we will just leave her with you without any protection?" Kelvin asked with a sneer.
"There is video evidence of what happened and I will make sure to get justice for my little sister," Mason revealed angrily.
I took a deep breath and sighed.
There was no way I could protect Lauretta now, I don’t even know why I wanted to protect her instead of being furious for what she did to Christy.
But there was no anxiousness as I was certain that the child was gone. I just hoped that Christy is okay.
I spent the whole night thinking about everything that’s been happening between us and I figured that she was right. I know I have been selfish but I just love her too much.
What if she goes to school and ets soone younger?
So, I was happy that our child could prevent other n from coming close to her but now, my good mother has ruined everything.
And marriage isn’t sothing that I want to get into at the mont despite how much I love her.
I was still lost in thought when the ergency room door finally opened. The doctors ca out and Mason went to et him.
"Doctor, how is my sister?" he asked anxiously.
"The patient lost a lot of blood and is extrely weak, unfortunately the child was already gone before she arrived, so we just cleansed her body. With proper rest she will be fine" the doctor replied with a professional tone.
"Thank you for your hard work, I will see you later" Uncle Ethan said to the doctors.
They nodded before walking away, then the nurses wheeled Christy out of the room. Her face was terrifyingly pale and she looked so weak.
Her mother started sobbing loudly and my heart clenched in pain.
I knew it was ti to let her go, as it was very obvious that she wasn’t safe with . The last ti she got into an accident and this ti, she lost our child because of my mother.
I watched as she was wheeled towards the VIP area, they all followed but I couldn’t move.
"You know the Lancaster family wouldn’t let this go right?" Gary’s voice ca from my side but I remained quiet.
"I thought you loved her? Is this how cheap your love is?" he asked and I laughed.
"You are the only one that knows well Gary and you know how much I love her but if my love makes her get hurt and always fighting for her life, then it’s best to let her go" I replied with a sad smile.
"What are you going to do about your mother?" he asked.
"I have to put her in her place, she will only listen and behave well when she is at risk of losing what she loves the most" I said coldly while staring in the direction that Christy was wheeled in.
"You want to kill her son?" he asked and I turned to face him.
"Of course not, he already doesn’t have a lot of ti left and the only way for him to be saved is through surgery. Lauretta has been desperately looking for money to save him." I replied to him with a slight smile.
"So if Mason takes action and gets her arrested with the video evidence, then she most definitely wouldn’t be able to save her son, which will increase her hatred for the Lancaster family." I explained calmly.
"It would only make it impossible for you and Christy to live in peace. So that’s why you are letting her go" he said calmly while looking at with a hint of pity.
Letting her go is my own way of protecting her and she can finally have the life that she wants.
