My Husband's Venting on Our Daughter for His Childhood Sweetheart

I refused to play Truth or Dare with Joseph Bell's childhood sweetheart,so he ordered someone to take away our daughter Emma Bell and lock me up in a room.

...

Our daughter was seriously injured in a car accident,and the hospital called me to go and see her for the last time.

I called and begged Joseph desperately,but he blocked me.

When I jumped out of the window and rushed to the hospital,my daughter already passed away.

At this time,Joseph's childhood sweetheart posted a photo of the two of them watching the sunrise on dynamics.

"He said that he wants all my wishes to come true,and this is his biggest wish in his life."

After burying our daughter,I calmly asked for a divorce.

But he couldn't accept it no matter what.I no longer loved him.

"Joseph,let's get a divorce!"

I could accept that he didn't love me,but I couldn't forgive him for ruining Emma's life.

He clearly knew that our two-year-old daughter was still running a fever and receiving intravenous drips.

But he still took Emma away to punish me just because I embarrassed Ashley by not playing Truth or Dare with her.

...

How ironic!

I had been married to Joseph for seven years,and our daughter was two years old.

But neither my daughter nor I were as important as Ashley.

After cremating Emma,I suddenly remembered how timid she was.She must be scared down there alone.

I wanted to bury her with her bunny doll so that she wouldn't feel so lonely and scared.

I held her ashes and returned to the large flat where we used to live.

I thought there would be no one at home as usual,but when I pushed the door open,I saw Joseph and Ashley embracing each other.

There were muddy shoes,walking sticks,and backpacks scattered on the ground.

At the sight of me,the two of them calmly let go of each other.

Joseph walked up and ordered me coldly.

"Ashley sprained her ankle.these days,you take care of her until she recovers."

He didn't see the crutches I was leaning on,nor my swollen eyes,let alone the urn I was holding in my hand.

Perhaps in his heart,I was just an insignificant and servant.

Every time he brought Ashley home,he pushed me around,saying that the dishes were too salty,the soup was too bland,and the bath water was too hot.

I got exhausted every time,but I couldn't refuse flatly.

If I dared to do that,Joseph would make me surrender by threatening me with my mother and later my daughter.

Ashley consciously put her injured foot on the coffee table and raised an eyebrow at me smugly.

"Daphne,can you do me a favor?I originally wanted to go to the hospital,but Joseph said you are very caring.He carried me down from the mountain and insisted that I stay here for a few days.I hope you don't mind."

I remembered her post,They were probably camping and watching the sunrise when Emma had an accident.

Ashley was particularly addicted to the game of Truth or Dare.She used this to tease and play tricks on me again and again.

Last week,Emma had acute pneumonia and fever and was hospitalized.

And I happened to have acute gastroenteritis.I endured severe pain and took care of her until she finished her drip.

At 12 o'clock in the evening,Ashley called and said that Joseph drank too much and asked me to pick him up.

This was already the 99th time she played a trick on me.Joseph didn't want me to pick him up at all,and besides,my stomach was hurting so much that I couldn't even stand up straight.

So I refused her over the phone.

I had no idea what she said to Joseph,but that night,while I was sleeping,Joseph sent someone to the hospital to take Emma away.

And he threw me,who was still sick,into the small room in the attic and locked the door.

"Daphne Brown,am I far too good to you?You actually ignored me!"

"You reflect on yourself inside and think about how to be a good wife."

"If you can't figure it out,then stay there forever!"

The next morning,I received a call from the hospital.Emma woke up and couldn't find me,so she secretly went out and was hit by a car.

Now she was in critical condition in the hospital,calling for me.The doctor asked me to go and see her for the last time as soon as possible.

I sadness called Joseph and begged him to let me out.

"Daphne,you are really desperate to escape punishment.You even cursed our daughter!"

"It seems that you haven't learned your lesson.You gotta stay there longer!"

He hung up on me.No matter how many times I called him,he never answered again.

In a moment of desperation,I broke a small window in the attic and jumped down,with one leg severely fractured.

When I arrived at the hospital despite the pain,my daughter Emma was already gone from this world forever.

She was wrapped in gauze,with tears still wet in the corners of her eyes.

I was overwhelmed with grief and wanted to ask Joseph why he was so cruel,but he blocked me.

It turned out that at that time,he was camping with Ashley and watching the sunrise.

Just the thought of my daughter's fear,sadness before her death made my heart ache so much that I couldn't breathe.

I forced back the tears in my eyes and looked up at the man who had shared the same bed with me for seven years.

"Joseph,let's get a divorce!"

"From now on,we'll never contact each other again!"

Joseph's face changed slightly.He wanted to say something,but I turned around and left for Emma's room.

I put her bunny doll into my backpack and picked up the urn of her ashes,ready to leave.

When I reached the living room door,I saw Joseph and Ashley drinking juice.

Seeing that I was about to leave,he blocked my way with displeasure.

"Daphne,you are getting bolder now.How dare you ignore my words?"

"You haven't apologized to Ashley for the last incident,and today you dare to disregard what I say.You never want to see Emma again?"

Leaning on the crutch,I barely stayed steady on my feet and instinctively tightened my grip on the urn.

Joseph knew exactly what my weakness was.

He shamelessly used it to hurt me again and again.

But now,my mother was dead,and so was Emma.My weakness was gone,and from now on,I would not compromise.

The moment my daughter died,the marriage between me and Joseph also came to an end.

Seeing that I was silent,he thought I forgave him again and disdainfully snorted at me.

"I thought you were amazing.,but it turns out you're just playing tricks to get what you want."

"Go kneel in front of Ashley and kowtow three times,and I will forgive your rudeness last time."

"If you want to see Emma,take good care of me and Ashley for the next few days.Make us happy,and maybe we will bring her back to you!"

Emma?

Emma's ashes were in my hands now.Where else could he get me another daughter?

He looked indifferent when he mentioned Emma,and I hated his.

"Joseph,Who do you think you are?I don't care about you!"

"As I just said,I want a divorce!Are you deaf?"

In the past,when my mother was sick,I begged him to buy imported medicine.Later,when I gave birth to Emma,I endured everything to give her a complete family.

For so many years,I had always spoken softly to him and never dared to throw a tantrum.

This was the first time I got angry in front of him.

Joseph's face had a look of surprise and then clouded over with anger.

"Daphne,don't test my patience!"

"If you're not clear about your identity,I don't mind making you see the reality!"

It had been five years since Ashley returned.Joseph had told me countless times how humble I was.

When my mother was hospitalized,I cooked a dish with a little bit of cilantro that my mother liked while Ashley disliked.Joseph called and stopped giving my mother imported medicine.

It wasn't until I knelt on the ground and finished the plate of mangoes Joseph brought me,covered in a rash,that he let me go.

On the day my daughter was born,I begged him to take me to the hospital.

But he frowned impatiently and said,"Women have a duty to have children.Can't you stop being so dramatic?"

Then he hurriedly went to a concert with Ashley,afraid of missing the exciting parts.

As long as Ashley asked for something from him,he would agree to her unconditionally and abandon me and hurt me again and again without hesitation.

I grew up in a single-parent family and envied those who grew up with parents.

To make sure that Emma grew up with her parents,I endured everything.

Ashley hopped and bounced over,leaning on Joseph as if she had no bones.

"Daphne,even if you don't want to greet me as a guest,there's no need to ask Joseph for a divorce!"

"In marriage,the taboo thing is to use divorce as a threat.Only Joseph can tolerate your tantrums.You should count your blessings."

As I watched her lips part and then close,a lot of pain came to my heart.

"Who are you to judge me?"

"Joseph's married,but as his childhood sweetheart,you're clinging to him like his mistress.What are you to swagger here?"

Ashley blushed,snuggling up against Joseph's shoulder.

"Daphne,I am doing this for your own good.I didn't expect you to get me wrong."

"It's my fault.How about I apologize to you on my knees?"

Ashley was hypocritical.I looked at her face coldly."Get down on your knees then."

Tears welled up in her eyes instantly as if she had suffered a great grievance.

Joseph,however,felt sorry for her and suddenly slapped me.

He exerted all his strength and,being caught off guard,I lost my balance and fell to the ground with a broken leg.

The urn slipped from my hand and the ashes scattered all over the floor.

"No!"

I went crazy trying to collect the scattered ashes.

"Emma,I'm sorry.I'm so sorry."

Ashley stepped on Emma's ashes in high heels.

"Daphne,What is this?It looks like laundry detergent.Why are you looking so sad?"

There was a hint of malice in Ashley's eyes,and I instantly became furious and pushed her hard.

She fell down on the ground and held her ankle,whimpering in pain.

"Daphne,if you're unhappy with me,just say it.please don't hurt me."

Joseph nervously approached and carefully examined her injury.Seeing that she was unharmed,he turned around and stared at me fiercely.

"Daphne,how dare you push Ashley?"

I ignored him and collected the ashes on the ground.

He angrily kicked away the ashes that I had painstakingly gathered and then picked up the juice from the table.

Sensing his intention,I crawled over and tugged on his trouser leg,begging him.

"Joseph,please don't!I beg you,don't do this.This is our daughter's ashes!"

"Daphne,how could you lie?"

"Emma is clearly fine.The caretaker reported to us today that she was clamoring to eat french fries.Why did you say she's dead?"

"You are her biological mother,but you curse your own child just to compete for attention.What kind of a human being are you?"

Joseph's face darkened at this.He kicked me in the waist and sent me flying far away.

And he poured the bottle of juice onto the ashes.

"Don't,Joseph.That's Emma!"

"Really?I'll wait and see then."

Joseph sneered and ground the ashes with his foot.

"Apologize to Ashley and I will return this pile of laundry detergent to you!"

"You said this is Emma,right?As a mother,you can't bear to watch this,right?"

"Or is all of this your sinister plot?Just to attract my attention?"

I stared blankly at the ashes on the ground and a pain slashed at my heart.

It was my fault for not protecting my daughter.

Seeing me holding the fragments of the urn motionless,Joseph reached out to snatch the urn from my hand.

Suddenly,I slapped his hand and looked at him with hatred and resentment in my eyes.

Joseph seemed frightened by the fierceness in my eyes for a moment,subconsciously stepped back.

"Joseph,I am Emma's mother.You know I'm nice to her.Do you think I would curse her to get your attention?"

"Don't flatter yourself!"

"Joseph,I really regret knowing you and marrying you!"

Joseph was shocked by my resolution and subconsciously reached out his hand to pull me.

"Joseph,it seems like my ankle hurts much more!"

Ashley behind me stopped him.

The hesitation on Joseph's face was replaced by anger and annoyance because of Ashley's painful cry.

"Daphne,is it because I'm in a good mood today that you dare to repeatedly ignore my words?"

"You don't want to see Emma anymore?"

"Well,since you curse her like this,I won't let you see her!You're a bad influence on her!"

I held the urn,tears blurring my vision.

"I want to see her so badly that my heart is breaking."

Joseph smiled a triumphant smile.

"Then you kneel and apologize to Ashley.I'll have my secretary send the child over right now!"

I cried and laughed.

Joseph was stunned by my reaction."What are you laughing at?I don't like your laugh.Are you mourning?"

I nodded.I was mourning indeed.

"Joseph,You don't care about your own daughter!"

"Emma was so young and well-behaved,and she was running a fever.How could you bear to let her go alone?"

"Why didn't I see your real face earlier?If I had known that you were such a heartless person,I would have taken Emma and left!I'd rather be a single mom than see her die!"

Joseph looked at me coldly.

"Daphne, that's enough! "

"Today, I let Emma see how selfish you were!"

"To compete for attention, you even curse her to death!"

Joseph took out his mobile phone and dialed his assistant's number.

To prove it to me, he even put her on speaker.

"Sofia, let Emma answer the phone."

Sofia stammered over the phone and it took a long time for her to finish a sentence.

"Mr. Bell, I haven't been able to reach you these days."

"Miss Bell is gone."

Joseph instinctively tightened his grip on his phone, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.

"What do you mean she's gone? Is she playing outside or did she get lost?"

Sofia's voice trembled.

"No, Mr. Bell. The night you asked me to bring her back, she woke up in the middle of the night and sneaked out. She was hit by a passing truck."

"She died that day. I heard today is the day of her cremation, and you're back just in time to say goodbye to her..."
