CHAPTER 7: TRICKED
"How are you, my love ?" Mrs. Lucy Blaydes asked as she sat beside Audrey and tucked back her daughter’s beautiful strawberry blonde hair from her sweaty forehead.
"Where is my baby, Mom ? I want to hold my baby in my arms. Please tell the nurse to bring my baby to me. I can't wait to see my little angel," Audrey requested her mother with pleading eyes.
"Here, have some water first, darling, Let me call your dad and the doctor," Mrs. Blaydes replied.
"Mom, hold up,” Audrey squeezed her mother’s hand. “Where is my baby ?" she repeated. Sternly this time.
Her mother hesitated for a moment before replying but she was saved from answering to her daughter when the door suddenly flung open and in a harsh voice Mr. Tyler Blaydes announced, "You gave birth to a still born baby ! I told you this was dangerous."
