"Stop pretending, Mom. Aunt Christine's flowers are beautiful." I lost more than my hands that night.

Chapter 1

Atha Arnold POV:

我的职业生涯巅峰之夜, 我丈夫亚历山大·洛厄里却忙着和他的情妇克里斯汀·约克鬼混. 车祸发生的时候, 我能听到他们争吵的声音, 克里斯汀尖叫着, 指责亚历山大只顾着我的事业, 而忽略了她. 那声音像一把钝刀, 在我脑子里撕扯着. 汽车失控撞向路旁的树, 我的双手被死死卡在变形的车体里, 剧痛瞬间淹没了所有理智.

我被送进医院, 双手缠满绷带, 指尖的神经像被无数细针扎着, 每一跳都清晰地提醒着我, 我的钢琴生涯, 我为之奋斗的一切, 都彻底结束了. 肯尼迪, 我收养的女儿, 她站在病床边, 眼神里没有一丝担忧, 只有冰冷的指责.

"都是因为你, " 她的声音很小, 但每个字都像冰雹一样砸在我心上. "如果你不逼爸爸去参加你的演奏会, 他就不会那么累, 就不会出车祸. "

我尝试张嘴, 喉咙里却像被砂纸磨过一样, 发不出任何声音. 她竟然怪我.

那天原本是我们的结婚纪念日, 亚历山大送了我一对华丽的耳环. 我记得他亲手为我戴上, 冰冷的金属触碰我的皮肤, 当时我以为那是爱.

后来克里斯汀也来了, 她带着一束鲜艳的百合花, 香气浓烈得刺鼻. 我从小就对百合花过敏, 但她脸上挂着完美的笑容, 仿佛完全不知道.

我的喉咙开始发痒, 呼吸变得困难, 皮肤迅速泛红. 我挣扎着想叫护士, 但声音被卡在喉咙里.

"亲爱的, 你怎么了? " 亚历山大走过来, 他的语气带着一丝不耐烦. 他完全没注意到我正痛苦地挣扎着.

我用尽力气指了指那束百合花, 我的肺部灼烧着, 感觉下一秒就要窒息.

肯尼迪用一种厌恶的眼神看着我, 仿佛我在演戏. 她走到克里斯汀身边, 拉了拉她的裙角.

"妈妈, 你别装了, 克里斯汀阿姨的花很漂亮. "

我的心像被生生撕裂了. 我的女儿, 竟然这样对我.

"她只是想引起你的注意, 亚历山大, " 克里斯汀的声音带着一丝得意, 仿佛她才是我真正的妻子.

我的身体开始抽搐, 眼前一片模糊. 医生和护士冲了进来, 他们检查我的双手, 然后又快速检查我的全身.

"她是急性过敏, 引发了严重并发症! " 我听到一个模糊的声音喊道.

我的意识渐渐远去, 最后听到的, 是医生焦急的喊声: "胎儿心跳微弱! 快, 准备抢救! "

我醒来时, 房间里只有冰冷的仪器声. 我的肚子平坦, 空荡荡的. 孩子... 我的孩子不见了. 那个我还没来得及感受到的生命, 就这样离开了.

我的眼泪无声地流下, 混杂着对丢失孩子的悲痛, 以及对肯尼迪和亚历山大绝情态度的失望. 我失去了我的双手, 我的事业, 我的孩子, 我的一切.

亚历山大和肯尼迪, 还有克里斯汀, 他们却像什么都没发生过一样. 我通过社交媒体看到了他们度假的照片: 阳光明媚的海滩, 肯尼迪依偎在亚历山大身边, 克里斯汀则站在他们的另一侧, 笑容灿烂. 三人看起来就像一个完美的家庭.

突然, 我的手机响了, 是克里斯汀发来的信息.

"别傻了, 阿莎. 你以为亚历山大真的爱你吗? 你不过是他 '模范丈夫' 形象的完美道具. 你的双手废了, 孩子也没了, 他已经不需要你了. "

我的心像被一只冰冷的手狠狠攥住, 疼得无法呼吸. 原来, 我一直都是个笑话. 我的人生, 从一开始就是一场精心设计的骗局.

我的身体开始颤抖, 从头到脚都浸满了彻骨的寒意. 我紧紧闭上眼睛, 眼泪却止不住地涌出. 我感到自己正在坠入一个无底的深渊, 周围只有无尽的黑暗. 我失去了所有的一切, 包括我曾经相信的爱. 绝望像潮水般将我吞噬, 我感到自己正在慢慢死去.
