But I didn't expect it to be such a surprise.
"It doesn't matter. I'll have another chance next time."
I tried my best to comfort myself. The competition would be held every three years. When I went back, I would cancel the wedding and spend another three years designing a new wedding dress.
However, my assistant interrupted my thoughts.
"Ms. Abbott! Come and have a look. Your mother seems to be in an emergency!"
I turned pale with fright and rushed to my mother, calling for an ambulance.
My mother couldn't utter a word. She could only hold my hand and cry.
The venue of the competition was also in a mess.
After we arrived at the hospital, my hands couldn't stop trembling, and I kept begging the doctor.
But the doctor still shook his head at me.
"It's a miracle that the patient can hold on until now."
My mother was in the terminal stage of cancer and was tortured by the pain, looking skinny.
She had managed to hold on until now just to see if the embroidery patterns could be introduced to the whole world as well as if I got married happily.
But both of her wishes were in vain.
With regret and grief, she left the world forever.
And all of this was caused by Lawson and Janelle.
