Chapter 1

In the surveillance, I saw a small quilt covering my one-year-old daughter’s face. She couldn’t breathe, and her life was in danger.

I called my husband Jason Quiller, but he was busy watching the game and didn't answer.

After my daughter Amy Quiller died, Jason came to my bedroom with his first love Fiona White in his arms.

Fiona was wearing my pajamas and slippers.

"Jason said that you didn't accompany him to watch the game, and he felt very aggrieved.

"Men also need company. Sue, you are not a qualified wife."

During this process, Jason never remembered that we had a daughter.

At this moment, Amy was lying quietly behind him.

She had a purple face and lost her breath.

In the surveillance video, I saw my daughter Amy wrapped in a quilt. She twisted her little body left and right but couldn't get free.

I was very anxious. She would suffocate if she continued like this.

So I quickly called my husband Jason.

But he never answered.

I watched Amy's movements become slower and slower, and she didn't even have time to cry.

I was very worried.

What was Jason doing? Before I left, I told him to take good care of Amy.

Amy was just one year old, at a time when she was most susceptible to suffocating.

I drove at the highest speed back home, and I didn't even know how many red lights I ran.

I only had one thought in my mind. Amy was my daughter, and she must be fine.

I kept calling Jason, but he didn't answer.

I shouted at the monitor.

"Jason, Amy is suffocating. Go to have a look!"

However, no one responded to me. Instead, I heard cheers from the other side and a woman's voice.

"Nice shot!"

What? I was even more panicked. Was there a ball game today?

I pounded the steering wheel in anger.

"Jason, answer the phone!"

I was so upset that I couldn't even breathe. Amy's movements became slower and slower.

I knew what this meant.

I forced myself to calm down. Jason must be watching the Euro Cup.

He must turn up the volume to the maximum.

He couldn't hear my call maybe because he had muted his phone. He wouldn't let anything disturb him from watching the game.

In a panic, I thought of another way.

I quickly gave up on Jason but called the hospital.

I tried to tell them the address in my calmest voice. No matter what Jason was doing, he would open the door if the ambulance arrived.

As I suppressed all my emotions including panic, anger, and fear, I gripped the steering wheel tightly with my fingers and drove as fast as I could, holding back my tears.

However, five minutes passed, and no doctor showed up.

Ten minutes passed, but I still didn't see doctors.

Twenty minutes passed, and Amy's body stopped moving. She just lay there quietly.

The quilt wrapped around her was so tight that I couldn't even see her face.

But I still didn't see doctors.

How could it be? No matter how obsessed Jason was with watching the game, the ambulance and the doctors would go.

But no one went to check on Amy.

An hour later, I finally rushed to downstairs my home, and my car crashed into the flower bed on the side of the road.

I didn't care about anything but rushed home as fast as I could.

I didn’t see any doctor, and at the door, I could hear Jason’s cheers from inside the room.

"They won! I finally won the bet!"

This bastard only cared about the ball games.

I rushed into the house angrily and went towards Amy.

I pulled off her quilt, and she was wrapped in layer upon layer.

There was a bed sheet inside the quilt that wrapped her tightly.

I remembered that I only covered her with a small quilt. Where did this bed sheet come from?

I was so panicked that I almost couldn't see where Amy was.

As I kept pulling at the bed sheet with my hands, my heart beat faster.

I didn't hear any sound from Amy, not even crying.

Finally, I saw her face.

The tears that I had been holding back all the way burst out at this moment.

Her lovely rosy face turned purple, and her hands were clenched into fists.

I could imagine how much effort she put into tearing open the sheet.

But she didn't have enough strength and she failed.

Amy left me on her first birthday.

I hugged her tightly. I wanted to cry loudly, but I couldn't make a sound.

I could only hold her tightly against my chest.

Amy's body was cold, but I wanted to warm her up.

I wanted to tell her, "Baby, mommy is here."

I heard Jason's cheers in the living room again.

"Fiona, you are my lucky star! I won the bet after you came. I will give you half of the 100 thousand dollars."

"Am I better than your wife? She never accompanies you to watch these games."

"Yes, you are right. When she is at home, she never allows me to turn up the volume. Damn! What's the point of watching a football game with low volume?"

What?

I put Amy down and was about to rush out to kill Jason.

But he hugged Fiona and walked into my bedroom.

"Sue won't come back today. You can sleep here tonight. You came to watch the game with me so late. Thank you, Fiona..."

Before Jason could finish his words, he suddenly saw me blocking his way.

Feeling a little panicked, he immediately let go of Fiona's hand.

"Why are you back? Doesn't my mother have high blood pressure? Why don't you stay with her? Why are you back in the middle of the night?"

Chapter 2

What?

Jason even didn't know why I came back.

I knew he was unreliable, so I came back as soon as I made sure that my mother-in-law was okay, but it was still too late.

Wearing my pajamas and my slippers, Fiona looked at me with a sneer.

"Sue, are you suspicious of Jason or me? You are so petty. I have told you many times that we broke up a long time ago. Why are you still so suspicious?

"You came back in the middle of the night. Aren't you tired?"

Of course, I was tired, but it was not because of her.

I wiped away my tears and looked straight at Jason.

“Why didn’t you answer the phone?”

Seeing my red and swollen eyes, he subconsciously lowered his head.

"I was watching the game. I didn't hear your call."

"Have the doctors been here?"

He nodded.

"They went in the wrong place. They said my child's life was in danger. I thought they were crazy. Amy was sleeping well. So I drove them away."

Jason suddenly looked up at me.

"How do you know that?"

He actually asked me how I knew.

He said the doctors came but he drove them away.

Amy had a chance to survive, but he drove away her lifeline.

Fiona was still provoking me.

"Sue, are you monitoring Jason? Why do you do this? Are you worried that we will get back together? Don't think too much. I won't be a mistress.

"But..."

Fiona wanted to say something else, but I didn't want to listen anymore.

I pulled her hair and pushed her aside.

"Get out! You don't have the right to speak here!"

I used a lot of force and pushed her to the ground.

Jason's face darkened.

"Sue, are you crazy? I just asked Fiona to watch the game with me. You don't watch it with me, but why don't you let her watch it with me?

"Why are you always so overbearing? You don't respect my hobbies at all!"

In this situation, Jason said that I didn’t respect him.

I sware he hadn't even looked at Amy since I left the house.

Amy was now lying quietly behind me.

But what about her father?

He helped Fiona up from the ground and angrily accused me.

"Apologize to Fiona. You have no reason to hit her."

Jason was right. The person who deserved to be beaten was not Fiona, but him.

Raising my hand high, I used all my strength and slapped Jason in the face.

"I won't hit her. Jason, I'll hit you, okay?"

Jason was even angrier because I hit him in front of his first love.

He looked at me fiercely.

"Sue, what's wrong with you? Why are you humiliating me?"

Seeing he still wanted to save face, I slapped him again.

"Jason, it's been five hours since your mother asked me out. Have you ever seen your daughter?"

Jason seemed to finally understand why I was angry. He thought it was just because he didn't go to see Amy.

"She's sleeping soundly. Why should I go to see her? Don't you also sleep soundly with her when you are home?

"I just didn't sleep with her, but I didn't go out."

Jason thought he made a great sacrifice.

Fiona said, "Other people go to bars or KTV rooms to watch football games because the atmosphere there is good. But Jason was willing to watch it at home for your daughter's sake. What else do you want him to do?"

I looked at Fiona with cold eyes.

"I told you to get out. Don't you hear it?

"If you don't leave, I'll kill you. Do you believe it?"

Chapter 3

Fiona was so angry that she threw herself into Jason's arms.

"Jason, look at her. I just felt sorry for you and spoke for you, but she looked like she wanted to kill me."

Jason hugged Fiona and looked at me with cold eyes.

"Sue, you went too far tonight. You must apologize to Fiona. Otherwise, I will teach you a lesson."

Did he want to teach me a lesson?

I walked sideways so that he could see Amy's small and lifeless body.

Jason saw it but seemed not to see it.

"Sue, stop making a fuss. Fiona and I watched the game all night. We are very tired. She will stay here tonight, and I will send her back tomorrow morning.

"You are tired too. Take Amy to the guest room to sleep."

Jason wanted Amy and me to sleep in the guest room, so Fiona and he would sleep on my bed in the master bedroom.

What a joke!

As soon as Jason finished speaking, Fiona proudly lay down on my bed, next to Amy.

She reached out and pushed Amy aside.

"Jason, take this damn girl away. I'm sleepy. You can continue arguing. I'm going to sleep first."

Fiona pushed Amy away and lay on my bed in front of me.

She even called my daughter a damn girl.

Her words kept repeating in my mind.

I thought Fiona was too much.

But I suddenly didn't want to chase her away.

I held back my tears and smiled at Jason.

"She asked you to take Amy away. Go ahead."

I wanted to see where he would take Amy.

Wearing my nightgown, Fiona lay on my bed with her back to Amy calmly.

"Sue, since I dare to sleep in your bed so openly, it means I have no feelings for your husband. We are just friends."

I didn't want to hear what Fiona said at all. I just wanted to see how Jason would hold Amy.

Jason bent over and reached out his hand to Amy's head.

He was so obedient to Fiona. She asked him to take Amy away, and he would do it.

Why didn't he stay with Amy when I asked him to?

As I watched Jason quietly, I resisted the urge to kill him.

The next second, Jason's face became panicked.

"Sue, come and take a look. What happened to Amy?"

He patted Amy's face.

"Amy, what's wrong? What happened?"

Jason was very panicked with sweat dripping from his face.

I was very calm because I had already panicked before.

Jason kept asking me, "Sue, come over. Her face is purple. Why?"

Fiona immediately turned over from my bed in fear. Stretching her head over, she took a quick look at Amy and immediately jumped off the bed.

"Jason, what's going on?"

Jason didn't know either, and he kept patting Amy's face.

"Wake up, Amy! Daddy is calling you. Do you hear me?"

Amy couldn't hear it anymore.

She couldn't hear it an hour ago.

Jason held Amy carefully and pressed her against his chest.

"Let's go to the hospital immediately."

He stumbled out holding Amy in his arms, but when he reached the door, he realized I hadn't followed him.

He shouted, "Sue, why are you standing there? Can't you see that Amy's face has turned purple? What have you been doing here for so long?

"Tell me, what were you doing?

"You were only jealous of Amy but didn't even think about Amy!"

Jason was a scumbag who deserved to die.

I rushed over and snatched Amy from his hands, gently putting her back on the bed.

Then I grabbed Jason's favorite baseball bat from behind the door.

"You like watching the game and betting on the game, huh? Well, watch it now."

Grabbing the baseball bat in one hand, I pulled Jason's clothes with the other hand and dragged him in front of the TV.

"Watch it now."

I raised the baseball bat high and hit his head hard.
