When my mother reached for the call button, Kelly lunged to stop her, but before she could do anything, I slammed the door open.
“What the hell are you doing to my mother, Kelly?!”
I shoved Kelly to the floor and pinned her down. With rage clouding my face, I did not hold back. I delivered one slap after another across her face with raw fury.
There were many things I could tolerate. Except for one, only one reason. I would never allow anyone to hurt my mother. She was the only family I had in this world.
Kelly shrieked and thrashed beneath me. “How dare you hit me, Jane! You psycho! Let me go!”
However, I held her very tight, my eyes cold as steel.
Simon happened to be at the hospital visiting a friend. When he heard Kelly’s scream, he followed the voice, only to witness the chaotic scene.
“Jane, have you lost your mind? Let Kelly go!” he shouted. Then he rushed over and yanked me off Kelly, throwing me hard to the side.
I didn’t even have time to react. My body crashed into the ground and landed right on the shards of the broken cup. Sharp glass tore through my skin. Blood spilled instantly and pooled beneath me.
