Making Compromises for Love

After our daughter finished the SAT, my husband set aside his work for the first time and booked the tickets to travel abroad with us immediately.

However, on the way to the airport, he answered a phone call and left us on the freeway without hesitation.

In the dim light of the night, an out-of-control truck suddenly crashed into me and my daughter.

My daughter pushed me away, and she was sent flying!

When she was in the hospital for emergency treatment, there was no blood of that type in the blood bank since my daughter had rare blood.

It was such an emergency, but my husband, who had the same blood type as my daughter, couldn't be reached!

Finally, the twentieth call to my husband was answered.

His childhood sweetheart was making small groaning noises with a sweet smile and asked me.

"Darrell is busy right now... with serious business. What's the matter?"

I had no time to care about what she meant about the serious business. I just shouted at her anxiously.

"Give him the phone. My daughter's life is in danger. Tell him to hurry over and give my daughter a blood transfusion as soon as possible!"

My husband's hoarse rebuke immediately came from the phone.

"You liar, stop it! Don't go too far!"

After that, he hung up the phone. When I called again, his phone was turned off.

Just like that, my daughter left the world on the day when she just finished the exams of going to the college!

——

"The patient's abdomen is bleeding heavily. It's an emergency. Didn't you say that her father has the same type of blood? Call him over right now!"

The surgeon came out of the operating room anxiously with heavy sweat on his forehead.

"Now there's no such rare blood reserves in all the blood bank in the whole city, and the only donor who has registered is still abroad. The patient has a sign of shock. If she can't get a blood transfusion in time within two hours, there will be no way to save her!"

Two hours?

I felt like my world was collapsed!

But I had to calm down. I trembled and pleaded with the doctor.

"Doctor, please stabilize my daughter's condition! I'll go find her father right now. I'll definitely save her!"

Actually, I was not sure about it.

My legs, which were covered with bruises, were so weak that I couldn't stand steadily at the moment, but I wouldn't give up. I squatted by the wall and called Darrell Terry, but failed to make it through.

I called his childhood sweetheart, only to receive a photo of Darrell just taking a shower, and then she turned off her phone!

Looking at the seconds needles on the wall, I had no choice but to call Darrell's secretary.

Howard Archer refused to tell me anything as usual.

"Mr. Terry has ordered me not to reveal his whereabouts to you!"

Hearing this, I realized that Howard knew about it!

I tried hard to hold back my tears and begged him again and again.

It was the first time that Howard had seen me so humble after being rejected. Maybe he felt sorry for me, so he gave me an address after hesitating for a moment.

"Mrs. Terry, please don't tell Mr. Mrs. Terry what I said, or I..."

"Thank you! Don't worry, I won't!"

I urged the driver to rush to the destination.

It was a house with a seascape that Darrell had given me when he proposed to me. Through the French windows, I could see Darrell massaging Katelyn Bradley's waist intimately.

She dodged with a sweet smile, while Darrell held her in his arms and caressed her body.

I entered the password to open the door, only to find that it was not my birthday anymore.

The sound of an incorrect password alerted the intimate pair.

Darrell hugged Katelyn and opened the door together. When he saw it was me, his soft and smiling face instantly turned cold.

"Carolyn Levy! You're really everywhere! Didn't I book a flight for you and our daughter to travel? Why are you here to humiliate yourself?"

His words, mixed with the scene just now, pierced my heart. I shook my head and grabbed him anxiously to go out.

"Hurry up and come with me. Alicia had a car accident and bled terribly. Now she's waiting for you to give her a blood transfusion to save her life before it's too late!"

As soon as I finished speaking, Darrell shook off my hand.

He had used all his strength. It hurt so much that I cried in pain.

Then he brushed off something on his hands, as if touching me was disgusting.

Katelyn clasped his hands and sneered at me.

"Carolyn, as expected of the former movie queen, your acting skills are still outstanding, though you took a break from making films for many years! Your crying face and your bandages are so perfect for your performing. You know that you can't win against me, so you have to rely on self-harming to gain sympathy, right? However, you don't have to curse your daughter. I heard that it would come true one day!"

“Since you're acting so well, I decide to make a little custom Oscar statuette to you as the encouragement!"

After hearing Katelyn's words, Darrell looked at me with increasing contempt.

He said to me with disdain.

"If you like acting so much, go to the crew. Don't stay here and affect my mood. I feel so sick just looking at you!"

"I'm not acting. I'm serious. You put us on the freeway, and a truck crashed into us. Alicia was unconscious on the spot. If you don't believe me, you can check the news!"

I was so anxious, full of sweat. I took out my mobile phone and searched for the video of the car accident on the Internet, but he threw the mobile phone I handed over.

"Enough! You just don't want to give up until all hope is gone, right? The speed of the car on the freeway is at least 75 miles per hour. If there is really a car accident, how can you be safe? You should find a decent reason to make up a story! You are not young now but still be so jealous. That's sick!"
