“If you leave now and the operation gets delayed because of it… that wouldn’t end well. So, should we take you to the hospital now?”
I was shaking with anger, but I couldn’t fight back. Not when my mother’s life was still in his hands.
I took a deep breath and forced myself to stay calm.
“Fine. Let’s go.”
Maggie opened her mouth to protest, but I stopped her with a glance.
Right now, saving my mother came first.
But I'd also find another way about the graves and the remains later.
Even if they took that land, I would fight for it with my life.
Just before we left, Roy reminded me, “Miss Brewer is staying at the Stanley residence now. Mr. Stanley says you’re not to mention anything about the baby in front of her.”
“She’s a gentle soul and doesn’t even hurt insects. If she finds out what happened… she’ll blame herself and be heartbroken.”
I simply looked at him with my cold eyes full of mockery.
A so-called “nobleman” from the capital, who killed my child with his own hands.
And a woman who claims to be kind-hearted but digs up someone else’s ancestral grave to build a villa.
What a sick joke!
