Chapter 5 After saying that , she backed away in disgust , waving her hand as if I were something filthy . My chest tightened , and like a drowning person , I gasped desperately , one breath after another . Watching Rylee step back , I couldn't care about anything else . I crawled forward on my knees , my voice hoarse . " Please ... please forgive me . I shouldn't have raised my voice at you in the hospital room . I was wrong ... " " I'm sorry , I apologize ... " Rylee smiled with satisfaction . " Go home and wait . Financial disbursements have to follow strict company procedures , you know . " I asked with desperate hope : " How ... how long do I have to wait ? " Rylee batted her eyelashes , her voice dripping with schadenfreude . " About a month , I'd say ? " " You know perfectly well that Garrett just used up all our cash flow to buy me that pink diamond . " Hearing Rylee's words , my mind exploded with a deafening crash . All the emotions I'd been suppressing finally erupted , screaming as they destroyed every last shred of my sanity . I threw all my remaining strength into lunging at Rylee , shrieking : " But my daughter can't wait a month ! " " She can't wait ! " Rylee hadn't expected this . She stumbled backward in panic , about to fall . Just as she was about to hit the ground , a strong hand reached out , catching her securely . Seeing who it was , her eyes filled with tears as she whimpered softly : " Garrett ... " Garrett's face was livid . Without even glancing at my blood - covered state , he kicked me hard , sending me sprawling across the ground . His voice was as harsh and cold as ice : " Juniper , how long are you going to keep acting crazy ! " I crashed heavily to the ground . After a wave of dizziness , I coughed up a mouthful of bright blood . Everything hurt - my incision , my chest , my whole body .. I shook like a leaf , but I couldn't worry about the pain . I scrambled desperately to Garrett's feet . Crying and begging him : " Our daughter can't afford her treatment , Garrett , please , save her ! " Chapter 5 " She used to be the baby you longed for - please save her ! " Garrett shoved away my grasping hands in disgust. He looked down at me from above , his eyes completely freezing . After a long moment , he reached out and grabbed my chin roughly : " First you're hemorrhaging and dying , now it's our daughter who can't afford treatment and is dying . Juniper , just how many lies are you going to tell ? " " Are you going to keep causing drama and making everyone miserable as long as Rylee works at this company ? " The viciousness in his eyes made me shudder violently , as if I weren't his wife . But an enemy ! I clenched my jaw as despair and helplessness crashed over me like raging flood waters , drowning me completely . Garrett released me and said grimly : " Juniper , don't think I'll keep forgiving your every damn lie! " " Having a baby doesn't mean you can get away with anything !! " Hatred churned burning hot in my chest , scalding my eyes red . I said hoarsely : " Garrett , if our daughter dies , you and Rylee are both murderers ! " Fury blazed in Garrett's eyes . He suddenly raised his hand , about to slap me hard across the face . The next second , another hand shot out and grabbed Garrett's raised wrist . Garrett was about to explode when he saw who it was , and his pupils contracted sharply- A cold , commanding voice rang out with undeniable authority : " Mr. Garrett , are you planning to kill her in broad daylight ! " " With all these people outside the company building , Mr. Garrett , maybe handle your domestic issues somewhere more private ?
