Save... or not save?
Now, only Atticus Finch can decide Scouts life and death.
Before Atticus Finch could answer, Catherine whispered something in Atticus Finchs ear, seemingly aggrieved, but her eyes were full of cunning...
When Scout woke up, the whole ward was only her and Catherine, but she had no strength to argue with Catherine about those things.
She only hated herself, why did she still have to live, how she wanted to accompany her baby!
Scout turned her head to the side, slowly closed her eyes, just pretending that she hadnt woken up yet.
Catherine noticed Scouts movements, but she just sat on the edge of the hospital bed, gently stroking her belly, and murmured: "Baby, you have to be born healthy and grow up well, what kind of name do you like? Mom hopes you are a girl, a girl who looks like her father, you will definitely be very beautiful, and Dad will dote on you, you will definitely grow up very happily."
Scout, who had turned her head to the side, couldnt help but shed tears, such a warm and happy picture, how could she not have imagined it, but... it would never be realized...
Hot tears, in strings, fell down, soaking the pillow, hitting the heart.
"I know you are awake, if you are not the woman Atticus Finch vowed to marry, you wouldnt be so miserable now, but you are so stubborn." Catherine said with a light smile.
Scout didnt understand, why was she wrong for just wanting to pursue the light in her heart?
"Unfortunately, you cant have children anymore, you are really a loss-making product, do you know how much money Atticus Finch spent to bribe the relationship to remove your uterus?" Catherine stood up, bent down slightly, and whispered in Scouts ear with a sneer.
Scouts eyes suddenly opened wide, her body couldnt help but tremble, and she raised her powerless hand to touch her abdomen.
What did she say? Atticus Finch cut off her uterus?
She would never have children again? Never have children again... the child.
Scout didnt know where the strength came from, and she suddenly sat up from the bed, madly grabbing Catherines collar, her red eyeballs glaring at Catherine: "What did you say?!"
Scout clenched her teeth, her eyeballs red as if they could spew out fire, and Catherine was stunned by this sudden change.
Atticus Finch heard the movement inside and quickly kicked open the door and strode in, also regretting in his heart that he shouldnt have let Kitty and this woman be alone in the same room.
Scout slowly turned her head, staring at Atticus Finch with despair and anger that made Atticus Finch freeze on the spot.
Scout picked up a small fruit knife from the cabinet, and there was still blood left on the corner of the cabinet...
"Atticus Finch! You save me! Atticus Finch!" Catherine cried out for help to Atticus Finch.
"What do you want, I can give you anything, as long as you dont hurt Kitty."
Scout held the fruit knife, restraining Catherine from behind, and the knife in her hand slowly moved down from Catherines cheek.
"Stop! Whats the grudge between you and my child, you not only killed him, but also fed him to the dogs?!" Scout couldnt help but tremble with anger, her arms tightly clamping Catherines body.
Atticus Finch heard this and frowned tightly, fed to dogs?
Seeing that he didnt answer, Scouts grip on the knife became heavier.
"Ah! Atticus Finch, save me! Shes crazy!" Catherines cry for help sounded, pulling Atticus Finch back from his thoughts.
"What can I give you? Alright! Then I want you to never get married! And let her abort the child!" Scouts eyes were wide open with anger, what she and her child had lost must be fought back.
Catherine became panicked all of a sudden, she had worked so hard for so long, how could she let Scout ruin it!
Catherine didnt know where her strength came from, she broke free from Scouts restraint, grabbed the fruit knife from Scouts hand, stabbed it into Scouts abdomen, and then pushed Scout down from the window sill.
The whole action was done in one go.
Atticus Finch reacted and wanted to grab Scouts hand, but he was still a step too late.
"Bang!"
Have you ever heard the muffled sound when a body falls to the ground?
Heavy and depressing!
Atticus Finch could only watch Scout fall to the ground, feeling as if something important was stripped from his heart, robbing his breath.
