She stood in front of me and said, “Mrs. Ford, you promised to only break one of my legs if I left. But now, you’ve blocked all my paths. I can’t find work, I can’t take care of Bryan. He’s nine years old and still can’t go to school. Please, I beg you. Give him a chance.”
“Even if you want me to cut my limbs, I’ll never ever complain about it!”
She cried and reached out to grab my pant leg. I didn’t want her to touch me, so I stepped back without thinking. Suddenly, Emily screamed and fell backward.
There were many steps at the entrance of the Ford mansion. She rolled all the way to the bottom.
Bryan stood beside Richard and cried out, “Mom!”
The kid tried to run toward her, but Richard stopped him. Even without his memory, Richard still had the cold pride of a powerful man.
He looked at me with disgust and asked, “Harriet, when did you become so cruel?”
Then, Richard walked down and picked up Emily himself. She looked very thin and weak. Not to mention, her forehead was also bleeding.
Blood covered Richard’s suit, but he didn’t mind.
“How do you feel?” he asked gently.
“Don’t be afraid. I’ll take you to the hospital.”
