Chapter 3 I Am Not Your Only Love Anymore
When Ethan fell, the paper in his hand fell beside Penelope's feet slowly like a fallen leaf.
Penelope saw that on the paper, three people were drawn. There was a child, a mother, and a father.
Ethan always wanted a father. He denied it because he didn't want Penelope to be sad.
Ethan wrote several words beside the father in the picture. The handwriting was immature but serious.
It said, "My hero."
Penelope's tears fell down silently. Ethan saw Zackary as his hero, but Zackary despised him and saw him as a bastard.
How sad and ironic!
Penelope's heart was overwhelmed by dense pain again. She held Ethan tight in her arms, tears falling down.
"Ethan, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!"
Penelope didn't dare to waste time. She held Ethan tight and drove the shabby van to the hospital to give Ethan a blood transfusion.
Ethan had severe thalassemia. According to the doctor, even if he had surgery, he wouldn't live to be five years old. But without surgery, Ethan wouldn't even survive this winter.
Ethan was only three and a half years old. He was so sweet and thoughtful. Penelope didn't want his life to stop in the cold winter.
"Ethan, hang in there. I'll save you!"
At the intersection in front of the hospital, a bright red sports car suddenly rushed out of the corner and slammed into Penelope's van.
Penelope quickly turned the steering wheel. But the sports car slammed into her van.
At the moment the two cars collided, Penelope saw Lola's brutal and twisted face clearly.
"Ethan!"
Penelope could clearly feel that she was bleeding. But she didn't have time to think about that. Penelope carefully held Ethan, who was covered in blood, and rushed to the hospital as quickly as possible.
When they arrived at the hospital, Ethan was immediately sent into the emergency room. Looking at the light outside, Penelope was so restless.
She prayed once and once again in her mind, hoping that Ethan would be all right.
"Penelope!"
Hurried footsteps sounded behind Penelope. Before Penelope could react, her body had been rudely pressed against the wall by Zackary.
"Zack..."
Penelope's mind was a little blank because she had also lost a lot of blood. Her little face was pale.
Looking at Penelope, who was covered in blood and dirty, Zackary was worried for a moment. But then he remembered what Lola had just said, and his eyes were filled with ice again.
"Penelope, did you hit Lola's car deliberately? Lola is pregnant. You might kill her and the baby at the same time!"
Lola was pregnant?!
Penelope's heartbeat stopped for a second. Suddenly, Penelope recalled what Zackary had said when he proposed to her on her 18th birthday.
Zackary said, "Penelope, I only want you in my life. My body and my heart are yours. Penelope, you'll be my only love."
Penelope still remembered Zackary's vow, but Zackary got the other woman pregnant.
Penelope's fingertips were trembling and aching. Penelope felt that her soul had just aged in a second.
She thought, "Zack, I'm not your only love anymore."
"Say something!"
Zackary clenched Penelope's neck violently. "Penelope, though Lola and you aren't related, she has seen you as her sister for more than 20 years. Why did you do that to her?"
"Zack, I didn't do that. It was Lola. She hit me and Ethan with the car on purpose. She wanted to kill Ethan..."
"Penelope, you are such a liar. Lola wouldn't risk the safety of the baby in her belly to hit you and the bastard. The doctor just said that Lola would lose her baby."
Zackary's eyes turned red. He hadn't expected the child in Lola's belly. But still, thinking of the evil thing Penelope had done, Zackary wanted to kill her.
"You killed two babies of mine. You owe me two lives. Penelope, you should go to hell!"
"Zack, I didn't do that. You..."
The doctor rushed over. "Mr. Spencer, Ms. Hilliard and Mr. Sullivan both have Rh-negative blood. And they both need a blood transfusion right now. But the Rh-negative blood in the hospital can only save one of them. Who should we save?"
