I was completely desperate and fell to my knees on the ground.
"Jason, Olivia gave me my life. I'm begging you, please save her. The person you saw... that was Olivia."
Thinking of Olivia lying in the hospital, waiting for a blood transfusion to save her life, I couldn't stop the sobs that escaped my lips.
The commotion drew a crowd of onlookers.
"Look at this scene, how shameless. The mistress showed up while the wife is pregnant and buying baby things. I'd have slapped her already if I were the wife."
"The wife is so patient. She's pregnant and this woman comes to cause trouble. She's going to face her retribution for sure."
The onlookers whispered.
I was sitting on the ground, the focus of their judgmental whispers, while Jason said nothing.
Emily, still nestled in Jason's arms, looked up and softly asked, "I saw a set of children's toys I liked. Can we go look at them?"
Jason nodded, guiding her away.
I suddenly sprang up, blocking their path, my eyes locked on Jason's.
"Do you really have to stay with this woman today?"
"Move, Maddie. Don't test my patience," Jason barked.
Emily, putting on a pitiful face, turned to me.
