The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife
Chapter 504 Let Him Hate Me

Lucas' eyes were brimming with tears. Standing stiff like a ramrod, he did not dare avoid the wallet thrown by Mandy, which landed squarely on him.

Fortunately, the thing did not hurt Lucas that much. He looked at Mandy eagerly and said, "Don't be angry, mommy. You can hit Luca all you want. It doesn't hurt at all."

The more obedient Lucas was, the more pain Mandy felt in her heart. She gnashed her teeth tightly and snarled out, "Why are you still standing there? Get out of here! You are the one that caused this illness. Are you trying to make me die from anger by standing there?"

The expression on Mandy's face was scary. Although Lucas was scared, he remained steadfast on the floor, standing as straight as a pole as he said, "Can mommy tell Luca what he has done wrong? Luca wil change."

As he was speaking, he tried to approach Mandy.

A pang of pain shot through Mandy's heart. She had never been a good mother, and yet Lucas still loved her very much.

However, this was not something that Mandy wanted. The more Lucas loved her, the more painful it would be for him after she died.

If she could instill the image of a bad mother into his heart, perhaps he would not feel so sad after she was gone.

With that thought in mind, Mandy psyched herself up and said coldly, "Your existence itself is a mistake. Lucas, your father

doesn't want you, and if it weren't for the fact that there was no other way, I wouldn't want you either. You are just a feral child that nobody loves. It took me so long to get someone to take you in, but I finally can get rid of you. I'll count to three. You'd better disappear from my sight right now. From now on, you are not my child anymore and I'm not your mother!"

'You are just a feral child that nobody loves'

'It took me so long to get someone to take you in, but I finally can get rid of you...'

Lucas had been a precocious and sensitive kid. A hint of helplessness flashed across his eyes when those malicious words wafted into his ears.

His voice began to shake as he said," Mommy, you don't want Luca anymore? Please, please don't throw Luca away. Luca will behave well. Luca can do anything.

Luca can work and take care of mommy.

Mommy, please..." "Shut up! You are nothing but a burden to me. The best thing you could do for me right now is get out of here!" Mandy said before she began to cough violently again. "Mommy, are you okay?' Lucas approached Mandy and patted her back.

"I told you to get out of here, didn't you hear me?" Mandy snarled as she flung Lucas away. He flew across the room and connected with the wall with a smack before falling to the floor. Mandy was startled. She wanted to go forward and help Lucas up from the floor, but she fought the urge to reach out to him.

Her days were numbered. She had to make use of the time she had left to make Lucas hate her.

"Stop pretending. Stand up and get out of here. I don't want to see you anymore," Mandy said coldly.

Lucas stayed on the floor for a while before he slowly got up. While he was getting up from the floor, there were moments when Mandy wanted to rush forward to pull him into her embrace. However, she knew that she could not do that. Once she did that, everything she had done so far would go down the drain. Therefore, she forcibly suppressed the urge.

Lucas turned his head to look at Mandy. There was a hint of vulnerability in his big eyes.

The rims of his eyes were red, and it seemed like he was on the verge of crying. However, he took deep breaths to hold back his tears.

"Mommy, have a good rest. Luca will leave now," Lucas said as he turned around and left.

Mandy's lips trembled. There were times when she wanted to call out to him, but no words came out of her lips in the end.

After Lucas left the room, Mandy began to cough violently again.

The doctor hastily went up to check her condition.

After her coughing fit abated, Mandy clasped her knees with her arms and cried her eyes out.

The private doctor that the Shaws had brought in was very ethical. He usually would not ask about his patient's private affairs.

However, this time, the doctor could not hold back and said, "Why do you have to do this to yourself? He is such a well-behaved kid. You're the one who pushes him away, so why are you crying right now?" Mandy wiped the tears off and said, her voice as hoarse as a raven's, "You don't understand, doctor. His father doesn't want him, and his mother is dying. I entrusted him to Mrs. Shaw, but I'm afraid that I might get into his way of warming up with Mrs. Shaw and the Shaws might end up not liking him. I don't want that to happen, so that's why I'm doing this to him. I want him to hate me. This way, he will feel warm when the Shaws treat him nicely and he will merge into this family better."

The doctor was stunned for a moment. It was only now that he understood Mandy's efforts.

'I guess this is the power of parental love...' The doctor sighed and said, "I can see that both Mr. and Mrs. Shaw are good people. I am certain that they will treat the kid well no matter what. You really don't have to..."

Mandy's smile turned into a brittle frown as she said, "In any case, it's better for Luca to hate me than love me. I would rather leave a bad mother's image in his heart so that he will not feel too sad when he understands what is death in the future."

Since Mandy had made up her mind, the doctor just breathed out a soft sigh and did not try to persuade her anymore.

Mandy looked into the dark sky, which extended further and further into the horizon. There was a hint of despair in her smile.

This is for your own good, Luca. Please don't blame mommy.'

The next morning, when Susan went to visit Mandy, she bumped into Lucas, who was standing in front of the door.

Surprised, she approached Lucas and asked, "Luca? Why are you standing here? Why don't you go in?"

Lucas looked at Susan and quickly averted his gaze. He took a step back subconsciously and said, "It's okay. Luca can just stand here."

"What happened, Luca?" Susan wanted to hold Lucas, but Lucas took another step back, which confounded Susan even more.

Lucas pressed his lips until they became thin. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he said in a low tone, "Aunty, does mommy not want me anymore? Is that why mommy is giving me to you?" "Why would you say that?" Susan was befuddled.

A trace of sadness flitted across Lucas's eyes. "That's what mommy told Luca.

Aunty, Luca will be a good kid. I promise I will not make mommy angry. Can aunty tell mommy not to give up on Luca, please?"

Lucas looked at Susan with longing eyes.

'Why would Mandy say something like that to Lucas?'

Susan did not know how to reply. Therefore, she held Lucas' hand and knocked on the door.

The nurse opened the door, and Susan led Lucas into the room. She could feel that his hand was shaking from fear.

When Mandy saw Lucas, her eyes turned cold as she asked, "What are you doing here again? Didn't I ask you to never appear before my eyes again?"

Lucas' eyes turned red, but just as he was about to leave the room, Susan scooped him up into her arms. With a frown, she looked at Mandy and asked, "Why are you angry with Luca, Mandy?"

"Hah! This is who I am. Don't you already know that?" Mandy sneered. "If he had not been dragging me back, do you think I would have sunk to such depths?"
