Chapter 8

Author: Everwind
Not long after, McCoy filed a lawsuit against Raleigh.

Later that day, there was a loud knock on the door.

McCoy opened the door.

Raleigh threw herself at McCoy.

Judging by the hospital gown she was wearing, Raleigh likely bolted from the hospital.

Her face was white, and her cries were heart-wrenching.

“I messed up, McCoy. I was wrong.

“After everything we shared over four years, can you please forgive me?”

Raleigh pulled out a ring, and the object stung me.

The ring was identi

    McCoy retrieved a photo album. Its pages were filled with the magazine covers I had graced back in the day. I was stunned for a moment, as I had spent ages looking for it without success. Here I thought the album was long gone. As it turned out, McCoy had it secretly tucked away. Teddy flipped through the album, tracing his fingers across my face in each picture. A teardrop fell on the photo, spreading out like a blossom. Panicked, Teddy scrambled to rub the wet spot off the picture. “No… I can’t mess up Mommy’s face.” McCoy’s eyes welled up. I simply watched the scene callously. A helpless sigh escaped my lips. The next day, Raleigh stood trial in the courtroom. The charges against her were medical fraud and manslaughter in connection with my death. Raleigh knew she had no way out. That was when she decided to spill everything she and McCoy had been up to for the past three years in front of the press. “McCoy, don’t act like you’re some sort of saint.

    Not long after, McCoy filed a lawsuit against Raleigh. Later that day, there was a loud knock on the door. McCoy opened the door. Raleigh threw herself at McCoy. Judging by the hospital gown she was wearing, Raleigh likely bolted from the hospital. Her face was white, and her cries were heart-wrenching. “I messed up, McCoy. I was wrong. “After everything we shared over four years, can you please forgive me?”Raleigh pulled out a ring, and the object stung me. The ring was identical to the one McCoy had given to me. Back then, McCoy told me with a smile that it was called the “Forgiveness Ring.”If we were to fight and I got him upset, I would just show him the ring. It would be his cue to let everything go. Delighted, I was on board with the idea. Little did I know, the ring wasn’t exclusive to me. Raleigh owned one too. McCoy shuddered. Picking up on his hesitation, Raleigh pleaded hysterically, “McCoy, Moira was my best friend. Her death isn’t entirely

    “Why should I do that? The baby’s mine too! I’m not getting an abortion!” McCoy didn’t even look at Raleigh, his tone flat. “You don’t have a choice. “If you hadn’t pulled this stunt, I would’ve bought you a mansion, so you could’ve focused on the pregnancy. “Our child would have had a chance to grow up happy and healthy.” McCoy paused. With Moira gone, his heart had died alongside her. Sure enough, humans were strange creatures. When he had her, he took her love for granted. Now that he lost her, the only thing on his mind was to make things right. Seeing that McCoy was dead serious, Raleigh panicked. She pulled the quiet Teddy to her side and pleaded tearfully, “Aren’t I your favorite person, Teddy?“I’ll buy you lots of candy and toys. Just tell your Daddy to stop. “My life will be ruined if I were to go to prison!” Teddy didn’t give in to her pleading like before. His tear-streaked face darkened as Teddy pried her fingers off him one by one. “Daddy t

    Raleigh’s heart sank. In fact, there was something off about Moira’s lab work. However, she had the numbers altered without taking a good look. Either way, Raleigh only wanted to see if McCoy’s trust remained unconditional. It was about time to put Moira in her place as well. Better yet, Moira should step aside as Mrs. Evans. It was never her intention to push Moira to her grave. Raleigh squeezed a smile. “McCoy, this isn’t funny. Moira was fine a minute ago. Why would she be dead?” McCoy peeled back his jacket, showing the box of my belongings and the death certificate. The official certification on the death certificate hit Raleigh like a blade. Dread washed over Raleigh, and her hands trembled violently. She fought desperately to swallow the panic down. “McCoy, we can talk about this at home. “I left something at the hospital. You can take Teddy home while I go ahead and grab it.”Raleigh scrambled her way to the hospital. She grabbed hold of a nurse.

    The cake in McCoy’s hand dropped to the floor with a splat. Before he could squeeze out a word, the call was cut off. A text with an address arrived promptly. Hearing the commotion, Raleigh and Teddy rushed over. They noticed the cake lying on the ground, smashed. Teddy teased him. “You’re so silly, Daddy. You can’t even hold a cake right.” McCoy lost his balance. Flustered, Raleigh went up and helped him to his feet. “McCoy, are you alright? Press the call bell, Teddy!” Teddy scrambled onto the bed and hit the emergency buzzer frantically. The voices around him sounded distant and muffled. McCoy barely managed to steady himself and pull himself back to reality. He stumbled out the door. Raleigh cried out to him in the back. Not once did he look back, for his mind was consumed by Moira. Out of the hospital, McCoy put the pedal to the metal and sped toward the funeral home. He didn’t care about the red lights he ran through along the way. His palms on

    McCoy stuck by me at the hospital, his eyes holding no concern. All that remained was disappointment. “Moira, your lab results came back fine. What are you trying to pull now? “So I yelled at you. It’s Teddy’s birthday today. Did you have to pass out in front of him to traumatize him? “Had I known you’d turn out like this, I wouldn’t have married you in the first place!” The medical report slapped against my face, leaving a stinging burn behind. The numbers on the sheet were as fake as could be. However, upon catching McCoy’s revulsion in his eyes, I lost the will to explain myself. Forget it. Maybe it was better this way. At least he wouldn’t have to feel bad and pity me. I should congratulate McCoy as he was about to get what he wanted. Probably noticing his harsh tone, McCoy toned it down a little. “Anyway, you should take some time to yourself. “I’m going back to cut the cake with Teddy. I’ll come back for you later.” McCoy then left the ward without loo
