Chapter 12 Because you are shameless

"Critical Illness Notice", Sandra looked down at the paper, withholding her tears. Then she grasped the paper tightly and looked up at Clinton 'Tell me, it is not true…" Clinton twisted cigarette butt in the ashtray and said slowly 'Don't kid yourself." Sandra wiped off the tears, head up, stumbling to put on clothes and about to leave. But she was stopped when she heard his sarcastic voice 'Probably it's the last time you will see him." Her heart was racing and she started to run immediately without giving a second thought why Clinton could be so cold and stone-hearted. When she arrived at the hospital, she was too weak to stand, but fell down to the floor. The bruises at the knee were bleeding. She ran over to the front desk without checking the wound and asked 'Excuse me, where does Xu Linyi stay?" Holding the Critical Illness Notice in her hand, she came to the ward and felt overwhelmed with what she saw. All white, endless white, with a man lying in the bed attached to the oxygen. She came close and could help the tears running down 'Dad…" Before she held her father's hand, a sharp voice alerted 'How dare you come to see your father?" She didn't respond, biting her lip. She wanted to come forward to see her father, but her stepmother pushed her away. 'If not because you are so shameless, how could Clinton take revenge on your father? The company went bankruptcy. Clinton acquired it. You destroyed us and put your father in such condition. Get out!" Sandra stood still. Her father was at the death's door in the sickbed, which was all done by Clinton? All because of him … Clinton didn't eat his words! Zhou Li took her arm and pushed her out of the ward. No matter how hard she shouted, the door was tightly closed. Sandra sat at the chair outside of the ward, crying out of breath. She took out the phone and dialed the familiar number as she wanted to ask Clinton how he could be so merciless. What did she do to let him hate her to the extent of take it out to her family? Nobody answered after a long ring. She continued to dial the number continuously. It seemed that Clinton intended to not answer her call, or just refuse her call. Sandra felt some feeling was leaking away. The emotions she kept carefully from being damaged became vague. She covered the familiar number with her fingers and typed some words 'Clinton, from now on, I won't disturb you anymore." Putting away the phone, she took a deep breath, although her heart was aching badly. As soon as Zhou Li came out of the ward, she went in immediately. She took his father's hand tightly, till the fingers turned pale out of blood. She looked closely at Xu Linyi, tears running down her cheek slowly. She was afraid that he would disappear between the eye blinks Cardiograph in the monitor dropped suddenly and made loud noise. She panicked and opened the door, and shouted 'Doctor! Doctor! Nurse!" A flock of people came in, but his heartbeat was gone. After the immediate rescue, in vain. Sandra looked at the doctor with eyes wide open to see him to shake his head. Her soul and body were suddenly separated. She felt everything in front of her was blurring till total darkness. She fainted. When she woke up and asked immediately 'Dad, where is dad?" even though she had no idea who was around. Jimmy had to tell her the truth even though he didn't want to see her to suffer 'Uncle is gone." Sandra went devastated and cried loudly with her head between her legs. Her sorrow made him tearing up too 'Sandra…" She bit her own arm forcefully till the blood was filling her mouth. She stood up and ran to the window with madness in her eyes. Jimmy was shocked and stopped her immediately. Sandra kept struggling and shouted in tears 'Let me go, why am I still alive. Tell me, I have nothing now…" Jimmy held her tightly with his strong arms. She held him, cried even louder. He let her cry and hold him, comforting her back with his hands. After long time of crying, her eyes were swollen like walnuts, she uttered with hoarse voice. 'Jimmy, take me out of here." He knew she was determined to leave and nodded with satisfaction showing up at his mouth. 'ok" Upon his confirmation, Sandra closed her eyes and didn't want to trace anything painful. 'But before we leave, I need to do something." Hatred clouded his clear eyes. 'Clinton shouldn't treat you like this. I won't let him go like this." She shook her head and said 'No." 'Sandra" He complained in a whisper. How could she defend that man after everything he did to her? She said bitterly with her eyes shut due to heartbroken pain, 'Clinton killed my father" She hated him. 'But it is not the right time yet!" Sandra opened her eyes, full of complexity and hate which were never there before. She shouldn't let others help her anymore! Something needs to be down only by oneself. If it's doomed, she won't die like that!
