I had no idea of how many times I vomited, but the cramps in my stomach became more and more severe. That was when I realized that I had to go to the hospital. So, I had to go there as soon as possible.
Only then I remembered that my mobile phone was in the shoe cabinet at the entrance. As I tried to get it, I no longer had the energy to stand. So, I fell to the ground in pain.
When I forced myself to crawl out of my room, I was exhausted.
“Dad, Mom … I don’t feel well. Can you help me? Give me the first aid,” I said weakly as I tried to hold myself, worrying that it would be too low that they couldn’t hear it.
When my parents turned to look at me, their faces immediately turned cold.
“Oh, you’re acting to get attention now? Goodness, you’re still competing for your sister’s favor at this age. Isn’t this childish?”
“Why? Since you can’t sign the contract, you’re worried that we'll blame you. That’s why you’re pretending to play the victim, right?”
Their sarcastic and unempathetic remarks really hurt me. My eyes slowly became harder to open. Everything slowly turned darker. So, I decided to put on my last hope to my sister.
“Olivia, please help me make a phone call … please,” I told her weakly.
However, my sister just sneered and said, “Just go back to your room! Today is my birthday, so too bad!”
After that, my family left without looking back. I stared at the closed door in disbelief, but that wasn’t for long because there was a salty and hot stream flowed out of my throat. After I spat out a mouthful of blood, my eyes went dark before I passed out.
I was awakened by the ringing of my phone. My instinct for survival made me crawl to the entrance with my last breath to get the phone. The call was from my assistant, Alex Dawson.
Without further ado, I told her, “Alex, I’m in so much pain. Please come to my house … save me … ”
After that, the pain came again throughout my body. Then, I fell into the endless abyss again. I had no idea of how long it took, but I vaguely heard Alex's voice.
“Doctor, I called Ms. Donnell’s parents. They insisted that I called the wrong number. They also said they didn’t know Ms. Anastasia Donnell, so they refused to come to sign!” Alex shouted as she cried.
After that, I heard an unfamiliar voice, “The heart rate is dropping! We can’t delay the surgery any longer! Hurry! Push her to the operating room!”
