Page 3 of My son’s cake caused my fatal allergic reaction

Daisy couldn't bear to watch the three of them enjoying their cozy moment any longer and walked alone into the back garden.

Buzz! Her phone vibrated gently.

She swiped open the screen, and a text message popped up: [Dear passenger, your flight will depart in 8 hours. Please board on time.]

Daisy showed her first genuine smile of the day.

She put away her phone and turned to go upstairs to pack her luggage.

After just a few steps, she ran straight into Natalie.

The woman smiled sweetly as she blocked her path. "Mrs. Olson, you're the hostess of this party. Why are you here all alone?"

Daisy knew that beneath Natalie's smile lurked a sharp blade.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have managed to get her contact information on her first day back in the country, and she wouldn't keep posting photos with Asher and his son on Instagram.

Daisy said, "Ms. Reed, just say what you want to say."

Natalie stared at her for a long moment before letting out a soft laugh and dropping her pretense. "Mrs. Olson, you're a smart woman.

"Back in Christmas, Asher and I were madly in love. He proposed to me a hundred times. If I hadn't wanted to wait before getting married, the position of Mrs. Walker would never have been yours.

"If you're smart, you'll file for divorce soon. At least then you can keep some dignity."

Although Daisy had already decided on divorce, that didn't mean she would tolerate such provocation from a homewrecker.

Her expression instantly turned cold. "My marriage with Asher is none of your business as an outsider."

Natalie casually played with her manicured nails. "So what? Even though I rejected him a hundred times, I'm still the one he loves.

"You've seen it yourself these past few days. Asher truly loves me, and even your son is close to me, wanting me to be his mother.

"I just casually said, 'If you eat the chestnuts, I can be his mother,' and he actually did it."

After speaking, she looked Daisy up and down with a mocking expression. "I just didn't expect you to be so lucky. What a shame we couldn't make you disappear sooner."

Daisy stared at Natalie in shock, her nails digging deep into her palms as rage churned in her chest.

So Justin giving her the chestnut cake was Natalie's doing.

She said angrily, "Natalie, how could you..."

"Who told you to take my place!" Natalie coldly interrupted her. "If it weren't for you, I would be the real Mrs. Walker."

Catching sight of Asher and Justin walking toward the garden, Natalie suddenly changed her expression, putting on a pitiful look.

"Mrs. Olson, Asher and I are in the past. Why must you be so aggressive?" Her eyes instantly reddened, her voice choking up.

Daisy frowned, momentarily confused by her sudden change in attitude.

The next second, Natalie suddenly tore a rip in her short sleeve. Before Daisy could react, she grabbed her wrist.

"Ah!"

Splash! Daisy was caught off guard as Natalie pulled her into the swimming pool.

She had nearly drowned as a child and had a deep fear of water.

The icy pool water rushed over her, and she instinctively struggled with her limbs, trying not to sink.

Splash!

Asher rushed over and jumped into the water without hesitation.

Daisy struggled to reach out to him. "Save me."

However, the next second, she watched as Asher quickly swam toward Natalie on the other side, not even glancing at her.

Justin's anxious shouts came from the shore: "Dad! Natalie is over there, hurry and save her!"

At that moment, Daisy clearly heard her already battered heart shatter into dust.

Even at this life-or-death moment, the one they cared about was still Natalie.

Daisy finally ran out of strength.

She slowly closed her eyes and sank into endless darkness.

When Daisy woke up again, the sharp smell of disinfectant hit her nostrils.

Seeing her open her eyes, Asher cast her a cold glance and said in a low voice, "When Natalie wakes up, you're going to apologize to her."

Daisy's heart tightened as a bone-chilling coldness surged through her.

She had just woken up, yet Asher didn't offer a single word of concernhis first words were demanding she apologize.

"She's the one who pulled me into the water with her. Why should I apologize?" she said.

Asher frowned deeply, his face filled with distrust. "You're still lying. You were obviously jealous that Natalie gave Justin matching outfits as a gift, so you deliberately pushed her into the water, and then accidentally fell in yourself."

Daisy looked at this man she had loved for half her life. His face showed no trace of worry about her falling into the wateronly anger and blame.

So six years of living together day and night couldn't earn her even a shred of his trust.

She suddenly smiled, her tone surprisingly calm. "If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance footage."

She was no longer Mrs. Walkerwhy would she be jealous over matching outfits?

Asher's frown deepened as he stared at her intently, as if trying to judge whether her words were true or false.

He had been feeling that something about Daisy was different lately.

"You..." He had just begun to speak when a phone ring interrupted him.

Justin's excited voice came through the receiver: "Daddy, Natalie's awake!"

The coldness on his face instantly melted away, joy appearing in his eyes. "I'll be right there."

After hanging up, he glanced at Daisy on the hospital bed, his tone turning cold again. "You need to reflect on yourself. I don't want my wife to be some irrational, jealous woman, and Justin wouldn't want that kind of mother either."

With that, he turned and strode away without a moment's hesitation.

Daisy watched his retreating figure with despair.

Perfect timingshe was about to stop being Mrs. Walker and stop being Justin's mother anyway.

Ding!

A text notification pulled her thoughts back to reality.

[Dear passenger, your flight departs in three hours.]

Daisy had already completed her discharge procedures.

As she was leaving, she passed by a hospital room where a familiar figure made her instinctively stop.

Asher was carefully feeding Natalie, looking at her with eyes full of tenderness.

"Don't you dare come near Natalie! If it weren't for you, she wouldn't be sick and hospitalized. You're a bad mommy!" Justin appeared out of nowhere, spreading his arms to block the doorway, glaring at her with hostility.

This was the first time he had shown such disgust for her "mother" identity in front of her.

It seemed Natalie really did hold significant weight in his heart.

Daisy's fingertips trembled slightly, but she ultimately made no move. She simply crouched down to look at this child she had carried for ten months and given birth to.

"That birthday giftyou must open it. Consider it the last time I'll be able to make you happy," she said.

Justin's mind was completely occupied with Natalie, and he didn't care what she was saying.

He turned his head away and snorted coldly. "I don't want your gift. The best gift you could give me is staying away from Natalie!"

Daisy chuckled softly and didn't respond.

His wish was about to come true.

An hour later, Daisy arrived at the airport with her luggage.

[Luca, pull up today's poolside surveillance footage and send a copy to Mr. Walker.]

She sent this final message to the butler, Luca Brown, then removed her SIM card, snapped it in half, and threw it in the trash.

The moment the plane soared into the clouds, golden sunlight gently bathed her.

Daisy smiled genuinely from the heart.

Asher, Justin, the identity of Mrs. Walker, the position of motherI no longer need any of it.

And I'm finally going to live Daisy's life.

From now on, we'll never see each other again.
