There on the hospital bed, surrounded by beeping devices, laid a little girl who was covered in blood. Her life was hanging by a thread.

Her mother, Celena Stone, was sitting next to the bed, holding her hands tightly.

Celena was covered in tears. She forced herself to endure the pain deep down and comforted her daughter, “Be a good girl, Jovie. Your father will come back to see us as long as you’re a good girl.”

“Mom, it hurts so much! Am I going to die soon? I want to see Dad. I’m not a bastard. My father is very powerful—”

Before Jovie could finish, she started shaking all over because of the pain.

After Celena saw Jovie fainted, she frantically took out her phone. While she cried and instinctively dialed the number she memorized for years, she said, “Be good, Jovie. I’ll tell your father to come and see you now. Don’t fall asleep, alright?”

Once the call was picked up, Celena did not wait for the person to say anything. She immediately said, “Liam, I’m Celena. Could you come and visit Jovie? She’s our daughter. I know I shouldn’t be bothering you, but I don’t have a choice. I’m begging you. Please come and take a look at her, alright? She’s dying soon.”

Celena watched her daughter get weaker and weaker as she spoke. Before she got an answer, she tossed her phone away and held Jovie’s hand. Then, she slumped to the ground and cried uncontrollably.
