He stared at the car that knocked Louise down for a moment before a moment of clarity hit him. He finally realized what was actually going on.“It’s your own fault!” Esme locked her eyes with her father’s and yelled, “This is all your own fault! You have no one to blame but yourself!”Staring at his daughter’s hateful scowl, Hank replied, “But Louise and the boy are innocent…”“No! You’re all guilty! She robbed my mom’s husband from her. As for that boy…” Esme turned and glared at the little boy that was so shocked that he could only look on silently.“No!” Hank hurried over to pull his son into his embrace.Louise did her darndest to sit up and said to Esme as blood bled from her mouth, “Please… let my son go… If you want to punish someone… you can do it to me… Please… kill me… not my baby boy…”Esme was so overwhelmed by anger and hatred that her tears streamed down her face.“Why? Why is my life so unfair?! Why can’t my parents ever truly love me?!”Hank put a hand over
According to the news report, Hank had hit his mistress with a sports car. When the ambulance arrived on scene, they saw him choking his son.After the ambulance crew pulled the boy out of his grasp, Hank immediately passed out. So, the crew brought Hank, his mistress, and the boy to the hospital for treatment. Hank woke up when the police arrived at the hospital. According to them, Hank was laying on the bed, staring into space. When the police and press questioned him, he immediately confessed to committing the crime.In just one evening, everyone was talking about this on the internet. There were arguments that defended him, saying that Hank was probably not in his right mind because he had gone through bankruptcy. Indeed, he turned his back on his marriage and had a child with his mistress, but the mistress now had taken the last piece of his wealth. When he misunderstood that his son was not his, he lost control of his temper, tried to run over his mistress, and tried to murder
Fia and Louise’s son reached the entrance to the ward. Conrad spoke with the police, and they let Fia in.When Fia saw the little boy whose hand was held by the nurse, she instinctively extended her hand. “Can I take your hand?”The boy took a step back warily.The nurse then awkwardly explained, “The boy was still in shock and he doesn’t want anyone. It took us a long while too. But he’s only willing to stay with us because he probably knows that we’re hospital staff and won’t hurt him and his mother.”Fia quickly nodded. “He’s still too little. For him to go through something like this… It makes my heart ache.”The nurse also nodded in response. “That’s right. No matter how bad the adults’ relationships are, they shouldn’t drag children into this.”After they obtained the policeman’s agreement, Fia went in with the nurse and the boy. Meanwhile, Conrad and the policeman stayed outside the room.“My baby!” When Louise saw her son come in, she struggled to get up, but all she did
Fia looked at Louise. She couldn’t say anything cruel in front of the boy.All she could do was leave her contact information behind. “If there’s anything you need, you can always call me. I’ll help you the best I can.”Louise frowned and said nothing.Fia worried that she wouldn’t remember her details. So, she took out a notebook from her purse, wrote her name on a piece of paper before pulling it out, and then put it into the jacket’s pocket that the boy was wearing.“It has my Facebook account’s details on it too. You can add me there.”Louise had just wanted to refuse when the boy said, “Mama, take it!”Louise was stunned. “Take what?”The boy turned to look at Fia.Louise instantly knew what he meant by that. She then turned to Fia and said, “My phone is in the drawer.”Fia nodded and took out her phone, adding her number and Facebook details.“Have a rest. If there’s anything, you have my number.”Louise hesitated before nodding and said, “I’m very tired today, so plea
The policeman said to Hank coldly, “Don’t do anything rash, you hear me? I’ll be right outside. If you hurt the victim again, it’s going to make things worse for you!”Hank nodded and sat down on a chair that was somewhat far from the bed.Louise looked at him and remembered how they had lived together for the past few years.In truth, she was quite happy with him. But what happened hurt her too much.“What do you want to talk to me about?” Hank couldn’t face Louise and said with his head hung low, “I told you about how Esme had changed her identity by changing her physical appearance.”“Yes,” Louise said coldly. “I didn’t tell anyone else.”Hank quickly held his head up high and said, “I know that you hate me right now, but she’s my only daughter! I don’t want anything else to happen to her!”Louise gritted her teeth. “So, you take the blame for the crime she committed.”“I have no choice. I owe her that. I didn’t protect her last time because of Chuck. So, this time…”“The
Louise was numb. “You weren’t there at the time. You don’t even know if his daughter was really there. Why would you think that?”“She did the same thing to me last time. You will lose control and attack the person right in front of you. Once you remember it, it will feel like it’s all just a dream. It’s also possible that you won’t remember it at all and are not sure if you did anything.” Fia was able to explain to Louise clearly thanks to her listening to Tiger’s analysis before this.When Louise remembered what Hank had said, she also started to suspect that he had fallen into Esme’s trap.“Since my uncle chose to take the blame for her, he probably won’t suspect her,” Fia said slowly. “So the best thing you can do right now is find an excuse to have my uncle do a blood test. Don’t get someone from the hospital.”“Who should I ask then?”“You can ask Director Parker. He has men who work on this.” Fia didn’t tell her directly that she could also provide her with the personnel sh
The text read……River Fane Bridge.Conrad saw someone standing on the bridge through the light from his car’s headlights.That slim figure was completely dressed in black which masked her well in the night. He got down from the car and said, “Ms. Thomas, the reason you…”Before he could even finish, the person turned around and he frowned.“Conrad.” Esme removed her hat and then gave Conrad a gentle smile using Britney’s face.Conrad looked around subconsciously.Esme said, “You can stop searching. The person that asked you out is Britney, but the person that came is me.”Conrad looked at her, infuriated. “What did you do to her?”“You were not like that in the past!” Esme said disappointingly. “You’re not worried about me… Why would you be worried about a stranger?”Conrad had just wanted to turn and leave when an empowering scent
Beth looked at Fia, stupefied. She even started to wonder if the person in front of her was Fia.“Have you ever wondered if my brutal cousin would be sad if she lost you? Would she want to die together with her mother… Just like how I felt when I lost my mom?”Fia let out a burst of laughter after she finished.Beth’s heart skipped a beat. She had never seen Fia like that.She already knew about Hank and that woman and that child. However, she hadn’t had the chance to see Hank yet… She hadn’t lambasted him yet!That was why she was at a loss with Fia’s appearance.“Aunt Beth… Let’s see if she really loves you, shall we?”Fia then took out a phone from her pocket and sent Beth’s picture to Esme.Esme had just moved Conrad into the car and was going to undress him when she received an anonymous text.She was furious. “So, you’re the one who’s been sending all those anonymous texts to me!”
