I Hope You Will Never Regret

At the Taylor Private hospital, Mrs Martins’ fever had subsided. When she opened her eyes, she saw the helper, Hope Elliot, sitting next to her bed. She looked at her and asked coldly, “Why are you here? Where is Lydia?” Hope looked at her and replied, “Mr Martins fired her this morning. Is there anything that you need me to help you with?”

Mrs Martins was fuming and said, “Get out of my ward. I want to be alone.” Hope looked at her and asked, “Madam, do you want me to bring food to you later?” Mrs Martins replied coldly, “Are you deaf, didn’t you hear me saying I want to be alone? Get out of my ward now.” Hope went out of the ward without uttering a word.

She was happy that Mrs Martins chased her out of her ward. She was angry at her for treating a kind-hearted Aunt Rose with cruelty. She then took her phone and called Butler Bruce. When it was connected, she said, “Butler Bruce, please fetch me. Mrs Martins chased me out of her ward.” Butler Bruce sent the family driver to fetch Hope from the hospital.

Later, Mr Martins went to the Trinity Leadership Academy to fetch his children. Avery was over the moon to see her father. Her father ruffled her hair and asked, “Sweetheart, how was your day?”

She smiled sweetly and said, “It was interesting. I attended the Preparation class for Mathematics, and it was not boring at all. My senior brothers and sisters were so kind to me. Mr Gray gave me some problems to solve, and it was very easy. I enjoyed it.”

Then Mr Martins looked at his son, Aiden, and asked, “Young man, how was your day?” Aiden was angry that his father didn’t speak to him first and replied, “It was as usual.” Then he looked outside the window. He felt that his father loved his sister more than he loved him and he was jealous. Hatred towards his sister started to develop in his heart.

When they arrived home, Mr Martins was surprised to see Hope and asked, “Is my wife discharged from hospital?” Hope looked at Mr Martins and replied, “Madam became upset when I told her that Lydia was fired, then she chased me out of her ward. I wanted to bring the food to her later, but she told me that she wanted to be left alone.”

Mr Martins was not surprised to hear that. Then he told Hope that he would go to the hospital to visit his wife and asked her to prepare food for her. He looked at Butler Bruce and asked him to buy a soft king-size bed for Aunt Rose. Butler Bruce quickly called the furniture shop and requested them to send a bed to the Martins residence.

When it was close to the hospital visiting time, Mr Martins took the food prepared for his wife and went to the hospital with Clayton. Elizabeth was sitting on her bed fully dressed. She asked her doctor to discharge her. She was about to call the family driver to fetch her, but her husband showed up. She looked at him, but she didn’t utter a word.

August smiled and asked, “How are you feeling, Elizabeth?” She sneered, “Are you disappointed that I am still alive? I am puzzled, why did you save me?” August smiled faintly and replied, “I didn’t want my children to be motherless. So, you have to thank them. They saved your life.”

Elizabeth looked at her husband with disdain in her eyes and said, “August, why don’t you divorce me because it is clear to me that you don’t love me anymore?” August walked to her and replied, “I kept you by my side because of the children, I don’t want them to be motherless. Even though you are heartless and evil, you are still their mother. However, should you touch my bottom line again, I will not hesitate to divorce you.”

Elizabeth’s heart became bitter, she wished that her brother was back in South Africa. August took her bag and said, “Let’s go home, my wife. Our children miss you so much.” He asked Clayton to complete the discharge forms, then they left the hospital.

When they arrived home, Elizabeth went to her bedroom because she was still weak. Hope followed behind her. Mrs Martins was surprised to see her new quilt on the bed and asked, “Who slept on my bed yesterday?” Hope looked at her smiling and replied, “Mr Martins asked Aunt Rose to sleep on your bed because her room was occupied by a stranger. Do you want me to change the bedding, Madam?”

When Mrs Martins thought about the way her husband treated her, she felt suffocated, she couldn’t breathe. Did he drag her outside in the rain because he wanted his aunt to sleep on her bed? Was his aunt more important than her life? She became bitter and asked, “Where is Aunt Rose?” Hope told her that she was visiting the Evans family.

Mrs Martins looked at Hope and said, “It is clear to me that maids are more important than me. So, are you here to mock me?” Hope wasn’t scared of Mrs Martins and replied, “Madam, I think what you did to Aunt Rose was cruel and uncalled for. Aunt Rose is your elder and she is your mother-in-law’s younger sister. I question your upbringing.” Then she left Mrs Martins stunned.

Elizabeth decided to go to her son’s room. She entered Aiden’s room crying. Aiden tried to comfort his mother to no avail and asked, “What is wrong, Mommy?” His mother wiped her tears and replied, “Your sister stole your father from me. Since your sister was born your father doesn’t love me anymore.” Then she cried sorrowfully.

Aiden gave his mother a cup of water and said, “Please don’t cry, Mommy.” Tears streamed down on his mother’s face and said, “Your sister made me angry, and I frightened her, then her nanny beat me up. She broke my arm, and your father rewarded her by taking all of you on vacation. He left me alone without a helper. I was so hungry, but no one delivered food to the hospital.”NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Aiden wiped his mother’s tears with his hands and replied, “Avery is no longer my sister. I hate her for stealing Daddy from you. Also, I hate her nanny and I avenge you. I will ask Daddy to chase her away from our house. I am not happy about Daddy as well; he loves Avery more than me. After school, he came to fetch us, but they ignored me. I hate her for stealing Daddy from us, Mommy.”

Mrs Martins hugged her son and smiled brightly when her son wasn’t looking. She managed to sow a discord between her children. She couldn’t wait to see Avery’s face when her brother ignored her. Avery loved her brother so much, her eyes lit up every time she saw him. Unbeknownst to her, she would regret sowing discord between her children in the future.
