The ambulance crew had no choice. They gave up and drove away.
After the ambulance left, the gawking neighbors gradually dispersed.
Kate walked back to the door.
"Don't blame me. Blame yourself."
"If you'd just agreed to have another baby sooner... no, agreed to mop the floor so we wouldn't be embarrassed in front of the neighbors, I definitely would've let them in."
I almost laughed.
In my previous life, I'd been furious, but I'd had no one on my side.
So I'd given in and mopped the floor.
But even after I finished, Kate claimed it wasn't good enough.
And Dick had piled on.
"If you agreed to do it properly, then do it properly. What kind of half-assed job is this?"
So I knew the truth.
The mopping had always been a smokescreen. Their real goal had never changed—it was to let Lily die.
I let out a slow breath.
"Kate, you just killed your precious baby boy with your own hands."
"And you destroyed any chance of saving him. You're going to regret this."
Kate stamped her feet in fury.
"I was actually thinking—if you'd sincerely apologized, I would've opened the door and given you that... whatever it's called, that AED thing, so you could save your daughter."
