ISTRI YANG KAU BUANG

My stepdaughter, Alana Greenwood, brought me some abortion medicine on her Coming-of-Age Ceremony.

Everyone around knew of her little "prank", but none came to stop her. Even my husband just stood and watched.

I smiled bitterly as I took the medicine and drank it in one go.

I immediately felt the pain in my lower abdomen.

My head began to spin, but I could still hear the harsh tone in Alana's voice.

"Well, did you think you could replace my mother after giving birth to your child? Let me tell you this, Dad agreed to marry you back then because I was young and was in need of a free nanny! If you dare think about replacing my mother, you will be kicked out of the Greenwood family!"

I covered my stomach and took a deep breath.

"There's no need for the trouble. You're an adult now and I've completed my task. I'll leave... tomorrow."

Alana was a little taken aback by my words, but soon snorted. "Why are you being so pretentious? You did everything you could back then to marry my dad. I doubt that you would leave! You used that face of yours which looked like my mother to seduce my dad and marry him soon after my mother died. You're just a shameless woman!"

Her words caused my heart to ache and her eyes were full of disdain and viciousness.

I didn't want to continue the conversation with her. My face was pale as I turned to leave.

The abortion medicine slid down my throat and into my stomach. The pain in my abdomen was excruciating.

I could clearly feel the warm blood streaming down my legs.

I took out my phone with trembling hands. Just as I was about to call an ambulance, Alana suddenly appeared and slapped the phone to the ground.

"You want to go to the hospital? In your dreams! I won't allow a wretch like you to ruin the Greenwood family's bloodline! You can forget about ever giving birth to a child!"

I was covered in sweat due to the pain.

The servant who had quite a good relationship with me, Linda, couldn't help but say, "Miss Greenwood, Mrs. Greenwood is bleeding. If she doesn't go to the hospital, she might die."

"Shut your mouth!" Alana slapped her.

"Who said you could call her Mrs. Greenwood? There's only one Mrs. Greenwood and that's my mother!"

Alana was the only child of the Greenwood family and was doted on.

As time passed, she gradually became spoiled and arrogant.

I looked at the child that I had raised and my heart ached.

She saw the look in my eyes and suddenly raised her voice. "Don't look at me with that disgusting gaze of yours! If you do that again, I'll dig your eyes out!"

Her face was filled with disgust as she said those words and she looked like a little beast who wanted to pounce at me and rip me to pieces.

I lowered my head. My eyes were filled with tears and disappointment. I turned around without saying a word.

Blood was still oozing out. The most important thing at the moment was to go to the hospital and stop the bleeding.

However, due to the huge loss of blood, I was very weak. After only walking a couple of steps, I fell to the ground.

Alana looked at my helpless state and her lips curved into a satisfying smile.

She laughed, then turned around and went upstairs, feeling satisfied.

I looked at her heartless receding figure and suddenly thought of how I held her over 10 years ago.

Back then, she was just a little baby.

Her mother died of hard labor and she curled herself up in the incubator. Even her crying could hardly be heard.

As soon as I saw her, my heart ached somehow.

Coincidentally, Alex Greenwood's mother, Jane, saw my resemblance to Alana's mother, so she offered me a lot of money to convince me to marry Alex.

I agreed and saw the poor little girl as my own.

What I didn't expect was that my hard work and love over the years didn't seem to allow her to develop any feelings for me. What I did even added to the hostility she had towards me.
