Chapter 14 As Long As I Live, You Won’t Live Easily
When I arrived at the hospital, the doctor looked at me in a strange way, "Are you Davidson's mother?"
I nodded, "Excuse me Doctor, what is his condition now?"
The doctor was roughly end of his twenties, wearing glasses, he looked very neat, like a young boy, he
narrowed his ice cold eyes and said ironically, "After doing some check ups, we noticed that Davidson
had been suffering injuries due to continuous beating on his head, which caused bleeding in his brain.
The blood clots are pressing on his nerves, which is the reason why he cannot talk. We need to
perform surgery as soon as possible, otherwise he might fall into a coma, worst case, it will cost his
life!"
Every word he spoke was like knives stabbing my heart, continuous beating, bleeding in his brain,
pressing on nerves, cannot talk as usual!
I always thought the reason for him not to be talking was the depressing circumstances he grew up in, I
never thought that Shania was beating Davidson, he was just a five year old child.
Anger was building up in me, I wanted to kill these bastards, Davidson was only five years old, five,
how could she do that.
I clenched my fists, trying not to show my anger, "Do the surgery immediately, immediately!"
The doctor humphed, I knew that he thought I was the one beating him, but, I didn't have the energy to
explain this to him.
"The surgery costs 100K, go ahead and pay the fees!"
The doctor handed me the bill, my whole body froze, "100 thousand?"
"There it's written, one hundred thousand!" The doctor didn't have good temperament, so I take the bill,
my heart felt cold as ice. I didn't have 100 thousand, I didn't even have a hundred.
"If you don't want to pay, you can leave, I don't have time to waste on you!" The doctor stood up, it
looked like he was going to close the door for his midday nap.
I told him hurriedly, "I will, I will pay it, can you please first take him in, I will pay the fee this evening!" I
was afraid he might not agree so I promised and begged him.
The doctor was really annoyed by me, "If you want him to be taken into inpatient, you need to pay
something, I will order him to have some injection first, to lower his temperature!"
"Thank you Doctor Evans, thank you!" I looked at his name tag, and started to thank him. If he stays in
the ward without having the surgery, it was of no use either, but right now I really didn't have the money,
which meant the doctors wouldn't perform the surgery yet. I needed to gather 100K as fast as possible.
I got the medicine and went to the injection ward, waited till Davidson got his IV, and then asked Billie
to take care of him. I rushed to the Cornell house.
I arrived in the evening, and when I entered, I saw Shania, Alicia and Marvin sitting at the dining table
having dinner together. At the same moment, Davidson was laying in a hospital ward. The anger was
boiling in me, the hate made me tremble all over, but I had to control myself.
That night, I couldn't allow myself to get into a fight with Marvin. Even if I had to go on my knees, I
would accept that, as long as Marvin would give me the 100 thousand.
Marvin didn't like me, but Davidson was his only son, even though he never loved him, he wouldn't
allow himself to lose his only son.
"Rachel..." Alicia looked at me and got so scared that her chopsticks fell out of her hands, then she hid
behind Marvin. It looked as if I was the evil and bad sister, who was torturing her everyday.
Shania's eyes filled with tears immediately, and said to me in a grieving and helpless matter, "Rachel, I
know you don't like me, but you can't let your anger out on your sister, look how scared she is!"
My monstrous anger was burning in my heart, I wanted to throw myself on them and rip this evil witch
in pieces, it was her and her daughter she did this to Davidson, and now they have the audacity to
pretend to be innocent.
But I could endure it, I could control it, I turned my head so I wouldn't have to see them, and told
Marvin, "The doctors checked Davidson today, and said that he had been enduring beatings for several
years, and now he had blood clots in his head which are pressuring on his nerves, and that causes
Davidson not to be able to speak. The doc said, if we don't allow him to have surgery soon, in the best
case, he will fall into coma, worst case, he will die!"
Marvin's expression changed, "What did you say?"
"Just right now, the doctors told me, he has to get surgery as soon as possible, and the fees are 100
thousand, if he doesn't get the surgery, his life will be in danger!" I could see how Marvin's face turned
into worries, which allowed me to feel a little bit of relief, as long as Marvin was willing to pay, Davidson
could get his surgery.
"Rachel, why, why are you lying?" Suddenly Alicia said, crying, she looked really sad.
"Alicia, I don't have time to waste with you, stop putting up a show!" I didn't have the energy to play with
Alicia, all I wanted was to get the money and allow Davidson to have his surgery immediately.
"Rachel, how can you do this, no matter how much you hate me, you can come to me, just let your
anger out on me, or, you can also use Alicia, but, how can you be so heartless to use Davidson, he is
your brother!"
Shania started crying as well, the way she thumped her chest and stomped her feet really looked as if
she was in sorrow, "I know, you don't want to listen to me or your father explain about your mother's
death, you feel that it was us who pushed her to it, so you hate us, you want to get revenge, but you
cannot turn into this person, who works at YES club for money, and now, you even make up more lies
to get money, you come here and lie to your father, you know, your father only has one son, he treats
him like his little baby, he wouldn't allow him to suffer one tiny bit of bitterness, how can you, how can
you lie to your father about that!"
Every word, every sentence was like a knife, it cause my hate and anger to boil over, "Shania, shut up,
if it wasn't you who tortured him, he wouldn't end up like this, and now you allow yourself to lie about it,
aren't you afraid of hell!"
Swoosh!
I didn't even finish talking, when I felt Marvin's slap on my face, then he grabbed my hair and threw me
aside like trash, "You little evil bastard, I almost walked into your trap, how can you say that Shania
tortures Davidson, don't you even think about your lies before you tell them?"
I got up from the floor, and looked at Marvin coldly, "Marvin, Davidson is in the hospital right now, you
can go and check it yourself if you don't believe me, then you will also know weather your ‘kind-
hearted’ wife has been torturing Davidson or not."
"You little piece of shit, you have told such a monstrous lie, and you have worked in night clubs, you
have lost face for this family, I am going to beat the shit out of you today!"
Marvin took the chair that was closest to him, and threw it on me, it was a solid wooden chair, Marvin
didn't even look before he threw it at me, I had no chance to protect myself, so I only hugged my head
tight, trying not to die. I couldn't allow myself to die, because if I did, Davidson had nobody to depend
on.
"Marvin, stop it, it doesn't matter what she has done, she is still your daughter!" Shania had enough of
this scene, and got up trying to comfort Marvin.
"That's true, Daddy, next month is my engagement with Marlon, I wanted Rachel to be there, stop
beating her, what if something happens!" Alicia hugged Marvin's arm.
Boom!
Marvin threw the chair on my body, "Don't let me ever see you again!" Then, he left with Alicia.
It was only Shania and me left in the lobby, she walked towards me in her high heels, stood over me
like a tower, looking down at me, all of her acting was gone, "Rachel, I was the one who beat up
Davidson, I knocked his head on the wall everyday, but he is strong, after so many years he is still
alive, the only thing is that he cannot talk anymore. It took really long if it only started recently!" NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Blood was running down my nose, the chair was still on me, pain was shooting through my body, but
Shania started laughing, "Let me tell you, Rachel, I will not allow Marvin to give you one cent, let that
little thing wait for his death, if you bring him back here, I will kill him in a second!" Shania turned when
she finished speaking, and left.
"Shania, as long as I am alive, I will make it hell on earth for you and your daughter!" I stared at
Shania's back, and swore.
