My mother's health is getting worse, and her memory is deteriorating. Every once in a while, she needs to see Lu Jingtian. Although Lu Jingtian is just playing along with me, he shows great care for Meng Shasha. Meng Shasha often accompanies him to the hospital.
I feel a bit angry: "Lu Jingtian, are you doing this on purpose, trying to make my mother see us fighting?"
Lu Jingtian remains expressionless: "I don't want to upset her; I just brought Sasha over for a check-up."
"You..." I tremble with anger.
Meng Shasha grabs Lu Jingtian's hand and softly says, "Jingtian, don't be angry; I don't mind."
"I just think that my sister is being a bit excessive."
"Excessive?" I am furious: "Meng Shasha, stop pretending to be innocent!"
"Sister, how can you say that about me?" Meng Shasha says with grievance: "Jingtian has been so busy preparing for the art exhibition that he hasn't even had time to eat. I'm worried about him, so I came along. No matter how much you hate him, you shouldn't treat him like this."
"Enough!" Lu Jingtian snaps coldly: "Both of you shut up!"
Meng Shasha quickly holds his hand and gently says, "Jingtian, don't get upset; think of the baby."
"The baby?" I scoff coldly: "Lu Jingtian, you really are something."
"Are you really pregnant with the other woman’s child so soon?"
"You..."
Lu Jingtian's face turned ashen.
Meng Shasha quickly grabbed his arm and said softly, "Jingtian, don't pay attention to her; she's just jealous of us."
Jealous?
Jealous of you two, the dog couple?
I sneered, "Meng Shasha, get this straight: I’m still married to Lu Jingtian. Why are you here at the hospital trying to prove something?"
"Are you trying to prove that your affair is all above board?"
"You..."
Meng Shasha's face turned pale with anger.
She held Lu Jingtian's hand and pouted, "Jingtian, say something!"
Lu Jingtian looked at me coldly and said, "Li Ying, when did you become so sharp-tongued?"
"Sharp-tongued?"
I trembled with rage.
Meng Shasha said, "Jingtian, you choose: either take me away or stay here with her."
"Fine, I'll take you away."
Lu Jingtian took Meng Shasha's hand and left without looking back.
I watched their retreating figures, tears streaming down my face.
In the evening, my mother suddenly fell into a coma.
The doctor issued a critical condition notice.
I was so scared that my face turned pale, and I quickly called Lu Jingtian.
"Lu Jingtian, hurry over! My mom is about to pass away!"
"Is Auntie leaving?"
Meng Shasha's voice came through: "Jingtian, I'm scared. Come back and stay with me."
Lu Jingtian said,
"Li Ying, you stay with your mom. Sasha is afraid of the thunder; I need to go back and be with her."
"Lu Jingtian, you're such a jerk!"
I shouted hoarsely,
"My mom is dying! Can't you come to see her one last time?"
"Li Ying, don't say such harsh things. Auntie has been really good to me. I want to send her off too, but I can't just leave Sasha alone."
"You..."
I pleaded, "I'm begging you, just come take a look. If you come, I'll agree to anything!"
"We'll see."
Lu Jingtian hung up the phone.
I couldn't hold it in anymore and covered my face as I cried.
Why? Why has he become like this?
For that mistress, he wouldn't even come to see my mom one last time.
How could he do this!
At midnight, my mom passed away.
In her final moments, she held my hand tightly as if she had something to say.
Her eyes were wide open, clearly unable to close them in death.
My world completely collapsed.
