After being pushed down the stairs by my husband's first love, I suffered a difficult labor with our second child and died in a corner of their family's private hospital. Before I died, my six-year-old son cried and begged for his father to save me. The first time, Shawn sneered. "Your mom's gotten smarter, using you to play the victim and trick people." After that, he flung my son's hand away and left heartlessly. The second time, my son told him I was bleeding uncontrollably. Shawn was clearly impatient. "She's being so dramatic, it's just a miscarriage, nothing serious. She's always made mountains out of molehills!" After chasing my son away, he even told the doctors not to care for me. "It's my fault for spoiling her. She'll know what she did wrong once I let her have a hard time for a few days." The last time, my son went to my husband's first love Jasmine, kneeling in front of her and knocking his head on the ground, begging her. Shawn flew into a rage and ordered bodyguards to throw my battered and bruised son out of the hospital room, allowing others to laugh at his misfortune. "If you come bother Jasmine while she's resting again, I'll kick your mom out of our family! She'll never see you again!" My son crawled to my side, leaving behind a long trail of blood. And so, I laid there helplessly as I felt the warmth escape both my son and I. 'Are you happy now, Shawn? You'll never see us again.'

When Stars Fade Chapter 9
One month later, Aster was finally discharged from the hospital.I never strayed once from his side, day and night. I could feel my strength growing weaker, so I cherished every second I could still spend with him.When he woke up, the first thing he said was, "Where's Mommy?"Shawn immediately looked away, not daring to meet the young boy's gaze."Grandpa, is Mommy hiding from me because I was too much of a dummy? Is Mommy mad at me for not taking care of her?"My father-in-law started tearing up, but he managed to convince him that I was overseas to see a doctor, promising that I'd come home if he did a good job of recovering.Aster's eyes lit up, and he nodded obediently.From that day on, he'd cooperate fully, whether it be with injections or medication. Even the doctors were astonished, saying that they'd never seen such an adorable and obedient child.After a long time, Shawn finally managed to piece together the broken toy car, but Aster didn't seem to treasure it as muc

In the end, Jasmine seemed to have arrived at the conclusion that Shawn truly hadn't the slightest intention to forgive her. Her hopes dashed, she suddenly started cackling, shrill and deranged. "Why are you acting like a devoted lover now, huh? Am I really the one who killed Astrea and Aster? No, it was you! You're the one who's the most to blame!"A crack finally appeared in Shawn's cold expression, and he rebuked Jasmine, calling her insane and saying that she still wanted to absolve herself of responsibility, even now. I, for one, agreed with Jasmine's words wholeheartedly. Jasmine had come prepared to ruin us, that was for certain, but if Shawn had loved his wife and son without any question or doubt, then he would have never fallen for her petty tricks!He was the one most to blame for my death, and for the injuries that littered Aster's body. Jasmine wasn't deterred, her venomous words lashing at him relentlessly without any reprieve. "You're trying to torture me to de

Jasmine forced herself to calm down, tears streaming down her face on command. "You've misunderstood, Shawn! I accidentally knocked the tube away, and I didn't have the chance to put it back before you came in!"Shawn sneered at her paltry defence, telling the bodyguard standing behind him to walk over with a laptop. He told Jasmine to look at the footage before continuing to say anything.With just a glance, Jasmine went pale. Taking a closer look, I realized that it was the footage of Aster being kicked out of the hospital ward one day earlier. I watched the replay of my young son crawling inch by inch towards the stairwell, the heartbreaking footage making me wish I could lose consciousness right then and there. Aster left behind a long trail of blood from the ward, all the way to the stairwell, but after a short while, Jasmine appeared at the door. With a quick wave, she summoned a janitor that was working nearby. "Wipe this clean, quick. Don't leave behind something so dis

I ignored their chatter, trying time and again to wipe the beads of sweat on Aster's forehead. 'Sweetheart, you have to get better soon.'That night, Shawn finally came back, holding a bag tightly as if it was his lifeline. Somehow, he'd managed to collect all the pieces of the toy car. Because of how dirty he was, he didn't enter, only looking at Aster through a pane of glass. "I'll piece your toy car together… Promise daddy you'll wake up when I finish, okay?"I whipped around, ghostly tears dripping uncontrollably on Aster's face. However, it wasn't because I was moved.No, my heart was filled with hatred!I hated that his realization came too late, and hated his hypocrisy even more!I already passed away, and my son was already hurt deeply by him and that witch. Even if he managed to wake up, he'd be traumatized for the rest of his life, and he wouldn't have his mother anymore.Shawn spoke to himself a little more, before he laid his hand on the glass and caressed it as

Jasmine wiped the tear stains from her face, hiding the panic in her darting eyes.Perhaps emboldened by the lack of surveillance in the hospital room, a flash of malice flickered across her gaze.But when she looked up again, she was back to her usual delicate, pitiable appearance."D-Did you forget, Shawn? She's done things like this before!" She had told him about the time she brought tea leaves as a gift when visiting our home, and how I supposedly tried to pour the scalding hot liquid on my son's hand, even trying to frame her for it. That was when Shawn came back and saw me splashing tea on Aster, so he didn't fall for it.As this incident was brought up, the cold hostility in Shawn’s eyes faded somewhat.Meanwhile, I clenched my hands so tightly that my nails dug into my palms.That time, Jasmine was the one who had kicked me hard under the sofa, causing me to stumble and accidentally splash the tea I was serving her on Aster's hand.Come to think of it, she'd just fi

"Astrea… Astrea!"Shawn ran over to the hospital bed, shaking it as hard as he could. Naturally, my corpse didn't give him any response. Shawn's eyes reddened within seconds, and he grabbed the closest doctor to him in a panic. "Why did she pass out all of a sudden?"The doctor was clearly at a loss of words, having to break the bad news to him. "Mrs. Dawson… She's dead…"This reply was met with Shawn's hysterical anger. He shouted that it was impossible, and ordered them to immediately perform surgery on me to save me, but neither the doctors nor any of the nurses there said a word.At that moment, he finally realized that I had died. In the private hospital that he funded, at that.His body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground. "What did I hire you all for? Isn't it a doctor's responsibility to check on patients? How could you let her die?!"The doctor's expression was stiff, but he managed to squeeze out a retort in his defence. "Y-You're the one who prohibited every
