Chapter 423: Death So Close [1]
Ariel Morris glanced at Laura Pinley and Scarlett Morris standing at the door, her eyes turning cold. Unwilling to deal with this group any further, she lifted her leg and headed downstairs."Ariel Morris! You bullied my mom and don’t even apologize! Ariel Morris, don’t think that marrying Arlo Seys makes you the Young Madam Seys, allowing you to do whatever you want and walk all over us! If Arlo Seys leaves you, you’re just an orphan! What do you have to be so arrogant about?!"
Susan Saxton was furious whenever she saw Ariel Morris. How could Arlo Seys, whom she fancied, favor an orphan over her, the Saxton Family’s eldest daughter? Burning with jealousy, Ariel dared to push her mom. Teaching Ariel a lesson while Ariel remained indifferent without even a glance only fueled Susan’s anger.
Jealousy and rage surged instantly as Susan thrust out violently towards Ariel’s indifferent back...
Ariel was just lifting her leg to go downstairs, unwilling to entangle with these people further, when she felt a sudden cold wind behind her. Her eyes turned icy, and she immediately turned around.
In an instant, Susan’s hands forcefully shoved her.
Ariel stood at the stairs, at a low point, and Susan’s fierce shove made her steps unsteady, causing her to tumble down the stairs...
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the sudden scene on the stairs, their eyes filled with shock. No one expected Susan to suddenly push Ariel down the stairs.
Pain—Ariel fell from the stairs, severe pain radiating from her abdomen, her face turning deathly pale like snow.
Ariel trembled with pain, clutching her stomach as she curled on the floor, having no strength, feeling like her body was tearing apart.
"The child..." Ariel endured the excruciating pain, sitting up slightly, looking at her hand clutching her abdomen, only to see a dark red stream of blood flowing onto the floor.
The bloodstains on the ground slowly increased, and Ariel’s face became paler. She turned to look at the shocked faces of Kylie Morris and Damien Morris on the stairs, ending on Susan Saxton with an icy, piercing gaze.
Ariel’s body shook with pain, even her lips trembled, as she struggled to speak, each word laced with chilling coldness: "If... the child... has an accident... I, Ariel Morris... will not let you go... Susan..."
After speaking, Ariel’s eyelids grew heavier, and she became delirious, her face void of any color.
Blood trickled slowly from Ariel’s head as she rolled down the stairs. Susan Saxton’s body shook violently, looking at Kylie Morris with panic in her voice, "Mom—I... I didn’t mean to, I just wanted to teach her a lesson for her cold attitude... Mom... what should I do? There’s so much blood... will Ariel Morris die?"
Laura Pinley and Scarlett Morris, who had been in shock at the doorway, finally reacted and immediately walked over to Ariel Morris.
"Don’t be afraid, Susan. Whatever happens, your mom is here." Kylie Morris patted her daughter Susan Saxton’s hand, comforting her as she too approached Ariel Morris, who had fallen to the first floor.
Damien Morris also went down, his face expressionless.
The whole room gathered around Ariel Morris. Her powerless eyes glanced at them as her consciousness faded.
Scarlett Morris saw the blood flowing from Ariel’s head and underneath her, her face turned very pale from fright, her voice tense, "Ariel Morris... will she die? ... What should we do? Should we call for emergency help? ..."
