When Stars Fade

"After being pushed down the stairs by my husband's first love, I suffered a difficult labor with our second child and died in a corner of their family's private hospital.Before I died, my six-year-old son cried and begged for his father to save me.The first time, Shawn sneered. "Your mom's gotten smarter, using you to play the victim and trick people."After that, he flung my son's hand away and left heartlessly.The second time, my son told him I was bleeding uncontrollably. Shawn was clearly impatient. "She's being so dramatic, it's just a miscarriage, nothing serious. She's always made mountains out of molehills!"After chasing my son away, he even told the doctors not to care for me. "It's my fault for spoiling her. She'll know what she did wrong once I let her have a hard time for a few days."The last time, my son went to my husband's first love Jasmine, kneeling in front of her and knocking his head on the ground, begging her. Shawn flew into a rage and ordered bodyguards to throw my battered and bruised son out of the hospital room, allowing others to laugh at his misfortune."If you come bother Jasmine while she's resting again, I'll kick your mom out of our family! She'll never see you again!"My son crawled to my side, leaving behind a long trail of blood.And so, I laid there helplessly as I felt the warmth escape both my son and I. 'Are you happy now, Shawn? You'll never see us again.'"
