I Hope You Will Never Regret

Fortunately, Bridgette was near the school. She quickly drove to school and fetched her. She smiled brightly at Bridgette and said, “Aunt Bridge, the results are out and guess who got the perfect score?” Aunt Bridgette ruffled her hair and replied smiling, “My genius Avery got a perfect score.” Avery smiled brightly and nodded her head.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

When they passed their favourite cake shop, Bridgette bought four chocolate cupcakes to celebrate Avery’s achievement. She gave Avery one cupcake, and she ate one cupcake as well. Avery closed her eyes and took a bite. It was melting in her mouth.

When they arrived home, her mother was in the living room watching her favourite Telenovela, The Wife. She walked to her with a cupcake in her hand and said, “Mommy, this is for you.”

Her mother looked at her with disdain in her eyes and replied, “Don’t you ever call me your mother again.” Then she shoved her so hard. She bumped into the corner of the table which was carrying a vase.

The vase broke into pieces. It was very expensive, and it was her mother’s favourite vase. She nearly fainted when she saw her broken vase. She took a broken piece of the vase and walked to Avery. She wanted to stab her face.

When Bridgette saw Mrs Martins’ face, she had a bad feeling. She rushed to her and pushed her hard. Mrs Martins was caught off guard, she fell down on the floor and the broken vase stabbed the palm of her hand.

Then she rushed to Avery and picked her up. The child was so frightened; she had a bump on her forehead. She asked Butler Bruce to take her to the hospital. On their way, Butler Bruce called Mr Martins and told him that Avery was injured.

Mr Martins quickly called the senior Neurosurgeon, Dr Lambert, and told him that they were on their way to the hospital. When they arrived at the hospital, Dr Lambert and the nurse were waiting for them.

They took Avery to the emergency room. Dr Lambert performed a CT scan on Avery. Fortunately, there was no evidence of injury to her head. However, her left arm was broken when she fell.

Mr Martins arrived at the hospital shortly after Avery was sent to the emergency room. He didn’t say anything, he sat quietly. He was wondering what had happened to his beautiful daughter. Unbeknownst to him, his wife caused harm to their daughter.

Dr Lambert walked out of the emergency room with a consent form. Mr Martins was already there waiting. He stood up when he saw Dr Lambert and asked, “How is my daughter?”

Dr Lambert replied, “Since her forehead was swelling, I performed a CT scan to see the severity of the injury to her head. Fortunately, there is no abnormality in her brain. However, her arm is broken. Please sign the consent form in order for us to operate on her.”

Mr Martins’ heart ached for his beautiful daughter. He quickly signed the consent form, and then Dr Lambert went back to the emergency room. A few hours later, Avery was wheeled into her private ward; her left arm was in a cast. Bridgette had tears in her eyes; she was blaming herself for failing to protect Avery well.

Mr Martins took Avery’s hand and said, “Daddy is sorry for not being there for you when you needed me the most.” Avery didn’t hear her father. She was still sedated. Mr Martins looked at Bridgette and asked, “What happened?”

Bridgette looked at her hands and replied, “Uncle Martins, it is my fault I failed to protect Avery well. Avery told me that she got a perfect score on the Mathematics exam, then we bought cupcakes. She took a cupcake and gave it to her mother, but she pushed her so hard. She bumped into the corner of the table. I think she was hit by the vase when it fell down. Mrs Martins took a broken piece and walked to Avery, but I pushed her so hard.”

Mr Martins couldn’t believe his ears and asked, “Bridgette, are you saying that Elizabeth wanted to harm my daughter with a broken vase?” Bridgette nodded her head. Mr Martins was fuming when he heard Bridgette’s words. His wife was so cruel and vicious.

Mr Martins indicated that he was going home to see his wife, but he would be back later. Then he left the ward and walked to the lifts. A few minutes later, the lift arrived, and he entered the lift and pressed the ground floor.

He walked to the parking lot, and then he sat in the car for half an hour. He was regretting marrying a vicious woman as his wife. She didn’t have compassion for her flesh and blood. She was inhuman.

He drove his car to his mansion. When he arrived home, he was told that his wife was in her bedroom. He looked at her and asked, “Elizabeth, why did you hurt my daughter?”

Elizabeth looked at her husband and replied annoyed, “Who asked her to call me her mother? She deserves to be injured. She must thank her lucky stars because I wanted to stab her ugly face for breaking my expensive vase.”

Her husband was so angry, his face darkened. He took his phone and called his brother-in-law and said, “Hello brother-in-law, are you well?” Edwin Parker was surprised to get a call from his brother-in-law because he had a Zoom meeting with his brother-in-law, but he didn’t say anything.

Also, he knew that he was going to Johannesburg to attend his wife’s best friend’s wedding. He smiled brightly and replied, “Hello brother-in-law, we are well. How is your family doing?”

Mr Martins’ voice was full of sadness and replied, “Brother-in-law, please come and fetch your sister. My daughter is in hospital. She was injured by your sister. She broke her arm and nearly broke her skull. I have had enough; your sister is a monster.” Edwin couldn’t believe his ears and replied, “I am on my way, brother-in-law.” Then they hung up.

When Elizabeth heard her husband’s words, she was shocked. It was not her intention to harm her daughter. Something happened in her heart when her daughter approached her. She looked at her husband with pleading eyes. Mr Martins looked at his wife coldly, and then he walked out of her bedroom and went back to the hospital. Would Mrs Martins leave her luxury mansion?
