Chapter 3 Garrett's words hit me like a sledgehammer . My head filled with a piercing ringing sound , my ears buzzing continuously until I couldn't hear anything clearly anymore . I felt my body sinking endlessly , falling into an icy abyss . In my final moments of consciousness , there was the chaotic sound of medical staff desperately trying to save me . And Rylee's confident laughter on the other end of the phone : " Juniper , you bitch , you can't win against me . When you're dead . I'll take everything you have ! " " And I guarantee - your bastard might be joining you soon ... " A heavy metallic taste suddenly filled my throat . In my ears , I seemed to hear my daughter's weak crying . She seemed to be begging me not to abandon her , crying for me to stay alive . Warm tears slid from the corners of my eyes as I struggled to reach out , wanting to hold the baby I'd never gotten to embrace . But no matter how hard I tried , that small distance became unreachable . In my delirium , the cold scalpel cut through my skin . Even though I was unconscious, the pain still made me shudder . The sharp blade came down again , and desperate whimpers escaped my throat . My survival instincts made me fight to open my eyes . The doctor barked : " Hold her down ! " I passed out from the pain . The twice - opened incision , stimulated and bleeding continuously , made the surgery last all night . By the time most of my blood had been replaced , the life monitors finally stabilized . On the critical condition notice , the family signature line remained blank . Garrett never showed up . When I regained consciousness , I'd been moved to a monitoring room . In the empty room , there was no sound except my shallow breathing . For three whole days , Garrett didn't appear . Only Rylee sent a video from the auction venue , To appease her , Garrett didn't hesitate to use all the company's cash flow , bidding one hundred million for the only pink diamond in the auction house . She and Garrett held hands and kissed brazenly on stage . The smugness and pride were practically overflowing from her eyes . [ As you can see , love isn't " Haven't I been good enough to you ? " ] Charsad Me for Giving Birth ? I Charged Him in Court for EVERYTHING Chapter 3 [ Love is bold , daring , and something you don't have a drop of . Oh , what a pathetic creature you are . ] My eyes felt completely dry . Garrett's most common line to me had always been , " Haven't I been good enough to you ? " Like a discarded piece of junk , I lay alone in the hospital , fighting to stay alive for my daughter's sake . Garrett kept his word - when he said he'd wait for me to come crawling back , he wasn't kidding . The day after I was moved to a regular room , the nurse placed the NICU billing statement in front of me. Seeing my pale lips drained of all color , she looked sympathetic . But without continued medication , my daughter would also be in mortal danger .
