Chapter 3 So What if I'm Shameless

  • His words sent chills down my spine.
  • However, I had passed the point of no return. Nevertheless, I would not give up, even if I had to sacrifice my life in exchange for a chance of survival for my son.
  • "Give me a call when you figure out the details," said Henry and gave me his name card before leaving with his henchmen.
  • My colleagues surrounded me when I came out of the room, trying to pry into what happened in the room.
  • "Samantha, the manager asked for you at his office."
  • A colleague came and rescued me from the blockade.
  • However, I did not expect that the visit to the manager's office would be the end of my job.
  • "You are fired!" My mind was still replaying the manager's words as I walked out of the bar at night.
  • "Why?"
  • "If you are smart enough, you could have asked for a favor from Mr. Quinn after what happened today. But, instead, you asked to sleep with him?" The manager smirked.
  • "Who do you think you are? Miss Universe? Who knows, Mr. Quinn might already have a sweetheart? But, even if he doesn't have a sweetheart, he would hate women who threw themselves at him."
  • The word "sweetheart" pierced my heart. However, I immediately shook off that feeling. After all, I only slept with Henry once, and we only used each other.
  • I lost my job at the bar and had nowhere to go late at night. So, I went to the hospital.
  • Bobby was still sleeping. So, I rested on the bench outside so I would not wake him up.
  • "Quick! The condition of the kid on Bed 3 is critical…."
  • I heard the doctor say to a nurse when I almost fell asleep.
  • As I opened my eyes, I saw the child in the same room as Bobby was placed under an oxygen mask and pushed into the emergency room by the doctor and nurses.
  • Like Bobby, the child also suffered from leukemia. They were about the same age and have always played together since being admitted to the hospital. I did not expect this….
  • The cries from his family members brought me back from my thoughts. I quickly ran back to the patient's room.
  • I quickly held Bobby, who was awake from the commotion, in my arms. "Bobby, there, there…." I tried to comfort him.
  • "Mommy, I'm scared."
  • "Don't worry, Mommy's here. I promise you will get well."
  • Bobby finally stopped trembling after I comforted him. We did not wait for the child that night.
  • The following day, I saw the family members packing up their belongings in sadness. "How's the kid?" I asked gently.
  • The child's mother immediately covered her mouth and howled in sadness after hearing my words.
  • "The kid is gone," the grandmother choked on her tears.
  • I was stunned. This was the first time someone with the same disease as Bobby had died in front of me. At that moment, a strong wave of fear rose within me.
  • I was so afraid that one day I would lose Bobby in the blink of an eye.
  • I was too afraid to think about it. I kept telling myself that it would not happen. Even the doctor said they still had time.
  • When my mother-in-law stopped by in the morning, she was sad after hearing the news of the child passing away. She pulled me aside. "You better have another baby with Jeremy as soon as possible. It would be great if the umbilical blood could save Bobby. Otherwise, you still have another child with you," she said softly.
  • I could only force a smile after hearing her words.
  • I wanted to tell her how I could have another baby when your son is disgusted by me?
  • However, I could not say that to her. Even though my husband and I were as close as a pair of strangers, my mother-in-law treated me really well. I did not have the heart to bring the news of her son disliking females to this poor woman.
  • On the other hand, the passing of the child strengthened my determination.
  • I knew Henry disliked me and wanted to force me to change my mind. He might even refuse to touch me when the time had arrived or even wear a condom. However, these were not the outcome I wanted.
  • In that case, I could only use the last resort.
