When my son, Ryan White, told me he wanted to marry his father's mistress's daughter, I refused. I threatened to end my life if he went through with it. He dropped to his knees and promised he'd break things off. Later, I got into a car accident. I called Ryan dozens of times, but he didn't pick up once. As I was wheeled toward the emergency room, someone blocked my way. It was Ryan, but he was holding Olivia Quinn, the other woman, shouting to her, "Mom, be careful." My ex-husband, Mark Quinn, was shielding Olivia and yelling, "Use the best medicine. My son's got money." They swarmed the doctor, completely blocking my way. The doctor snapped, "Move! Don't get in the way of the rescue." Only then did they look at me. I was lying on the gurney, blood all over my face. Ryan froze for a moment. I caught a flicker of disgust in his eyes. Then he quickly shielded Emily Lynn, Olivia's daughter, from the sight. "Don't look. It's bad for the baby." Mark tried to comfort Olivia. "What bad luck, running into someone who's about to die." I breathed my last, dying of sheer anger. When I opened my eyes again, it was the day Ryan brought Emily home for the first time. I wanted to see if those people would treat you like a person without me around.
