Chapter 40

“Daddy, please don’t hit mommy. Please.”

“Daddy!”

“Mommy, it’s my birthday today. Dad gave me a gift.”

As a child, Anastasia longed for a loving home with warmth.

But Zeke was addicted to alcohol, gambling and domestic violence.

Everyone went crazy during the period when Anastasia’s mom found out that she had been diagnosed with cancer.

Anastasia sat obediently at the table, watching her mother smash everything in the house madly. She threw Anastasia’s toy to the floor and wrapped her hands around Anastasia’s neck. ‘Annie, accompany me, okay? Annie, accompany me in death. I’m worried about you. I don’t want you to stay with that scumbag!”

Anastasia’s mother cried and shouted as she went mad. She pinched Anastasia’s neck hard, wanting her daughter to die with

her.

The suffocation was a painful feeling that Anastasia could never forget.

“Mommy…” Anastasia called out to her mom with difficulty.

Not until her mom stopped breathing and fell on her did Anastasia survive the ordeal.

But from that day onward, Anastasia had no one to call mom.

“Annie, I’m doing it for your own good. I can’t bear to see you suffer alone. Without the, what will happen to you? Annie…”

“My Annie.”

On the hospital bed, Anastasia slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was blurry.

She thought, “Mom… why didn’t you hold on for longer or exert more strength on that day? You should have brought me along. If I died, I wouldn’t have to endure this suffering. Living is torture.”

“Annie, you’re awake” Kimberly was sitting beside Anastasia’s bed. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Her voice choked with sobs, and she held Anastasia in her arms and breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s great that you woke up.”

“My dad…” Anastasta whispered.

“Your dad is okay. He has been transferred to the observation ward, but… there will be an after-effect after he regains consciousness. He will most probably be paralyzed,” Kimberly stated in a low voice.

Anastasia rubbed her eyebrows. “Why isn’t he dead?”

She mused, “Why isn’t he dead? Why is he still alive?”

“Anastasia, Mom and I will go back first. You take care of Dad, okay? We are exhausted.” Sienna walked into the ward, chastising Anastasia.

“Are you for real? Anastasia is ill. She’s a patient. Can’t you see that?” Kimberly shouted angrily.

Kimberly knew Anastasia’s family best. She was aware that Meredith was a bad person.

“So what if she’s sick? She has to care for her dad as long as she is alive. After all, Anastasia is his biological daughter, Meredith shouted like a shrewish woman. “Why? Do you think Sienna should stay back and take care of him? It’s inconvenient for her to do so.”

“Huh? It’s so funny. Why didn’t you say it was inconvenient when you guys lived on the money the Lawson family provided you?” Kimberly was pissed off

Anastasia sat up by supporting herself. ‘You can leave.”

She was so tired that she didn’t want to see them.

“Anastasia, the doctor said that your dad will be paralyzed in the future. It’s my fault for not reminding you, but I won’t take care of him. Worse comes to worst, and I’ll divorce him. There is no inseparable marriage in this world.” Meredith snorted, trying to intimidate Anastasia.

Anastasia nodded. “Well, get a divorce then.”

“Anastasia, do you think my mom is just trying to scare you?” Sienna dropped the pretense. “Anastasia, don’t be shameless. In the past, we respected you for Alastor’s sake. Alastor doesn’t want you anymore. You’re a woman of loose morals. Why are you still acting all high and morally? I’m telling you that it’s impossible for my mom to stay with your dad for so many years without compensation. We won’t leave just like that. The things at home are all ours, and you must give us money!” Sienna placed her hands on her hips, looking unconvinced. “You told us you are not able to get pregnant. Yet, you are carrying Alastor’s baby. Well, use your baby to get money from him!”

Anastasia only felt a stabbing pain in her head. She replied, “Get lost…”

Sienna wanted to say something more, but Anastasia grabbed a glass of water and threw it at her.

Kimberly also picked up the broom and rushed over. There was no point in arguing with such a mannerless shrew, so she used violence.

“Anastasia, you’re crazy!” Meredith protected Sienna as they ran away.

After they left, Anastasia leaned against the wall and slowly slid onto the ground. She smiled at Kimberly.

Kimberly was so distressed that she moved her gaze away, wanting to cry.

“Annie…”

Kimberly wondered, “What will happen to Annie?”

“Who paid for the operation?” Anastasia suddenly remembered that Alastor had canceled her card.

“Jason,” Kimberly whispered.

Anastasia was stunned and rubbed her eyebrows. “He doesn’t have that much money…”

“Who knows? Maybe he used his credit card,” Kimberly explained in a low voice.

Anastasia lowered her head as tears welled up in her eyes. “I see…”

“Annie… I called Alastor, but he didn’t answer.” Kimberly choked with sobs.

“Kimberly, I want a divorce.”

Anastasia no longer felt like continuing her marriage with Alastor.
