He seemed to be comforting me, telling me not to be sad.
I held back my tears, reaching out to touch my belly.
The next second, I felt something warm between my legs, as if something was flowing out.
I looked down and saw a wet patch beneath me, the bright red blood staining my vision.
"Blood! She's bleeding!"
Cora screamed in fear. She quickly looked around, shouting urgently:
"Mr. Blaine, please get the medical staff to save Isabella!"
I grabbed her hand and shook my head at her.
"Don't call him. It's no use."
I gritted my teeth, trying hard not to pass out.
"Isabella, don't fall asleep. Let me tell you another story."
"Three years ago, when your brother was on his last legs, he held on with his final breath to donate a kidney to my dad."
"That's when I realized your family had more integrity than I ever imagined."
"My dad always said he'd never met people as foolish as your family in his entire life."
"Our family is in the oil business, we're even richer than you can imagine."
"Since that year, every New Year's, our family would ask me to go to your house and invite you to come play at ours.""You want Mr. Blaine to accompany you once, he'll know you've never lied to him."
Hearing this, I suddenly realized.
No wonder the Grace family invites an insignificant person like me to their New Year's Eve dinner every year.
I don't get along well with the Blaine family and can't be bothered to go. Every Christmas, I can only watch them celebrate online.
Now, it's that time of year again.
Harvey wants to spend Christmas with Lydia, but I've been in a car accident.
He stands outside the car, coldly looking at Cora and me.
"You should notify the insurance company first. Lydia's been shocked today and needs to go home to rest."
He looks at me coldly, his tone full of doubt:
"You said you were going to a business meeting, but this isn't anywhere near your destination. Why are you on the road back to my house?"
"Were you trying to kill Lydia just now?"
After saying this, he glares at me, his tone icy:
"If anything happens to Lydia, I definitely won't let you and this fraud off the hook!"
Then, he picks up Lydia and gets into another ambulance.
Harvey left just like that, without even looking at me once. Just like in my previous life's ending, I was struck and left barely alive, lying on the road with no one to care for me.
I knew that no matter what happened, he would always choose Lydia first.
At that moment, someone in the crowd shouted:
"Look! Cora's water broke, she's going into labor!"
I looked closely and saw that a large wet patch had formed on the crotch of her white nightgown.
Holding back my sorrow, I quickly knelt down and supported Cora's neck.
"I've studied midwifery. Trust me, I'll save you and the baby."
"Okay, please help me."
Just then, there was a sudden deafening "BOOM!"
I turned to look and saw a car had crashed into the roadside.
Gasoline was leaking out, and flames were shooting from the back seat!
The crowd immediately panicked and scattered in all directions.
People were shouting:
"The car's going to explode, run!"
"Stop looking and get out of here! If you keep watching, you'll be blown to bits too!"
My heart tightened, but seeing Cora's pained expression, I knew I couldn't leave.
But at that moment, Cora suddenly pushed me away forcefully:
"Don't worry about me, I can handle this myself!"
"You need to go, now!"
