Chapter 205: Scarcely Credible
The locked chamber is quiet. Quieter than I could ever imagine part of the world could be.
All I can hear is the echo of the water dripping, the light bulb buzzing, my thundering heartbeat, my trembling breath, and my low whimper.
Tears keep flowing down my face, water keeps running in my nose; my mouth is sealed, I could only scream this loud in my throat; my body and limbs are tied up, I jumped and struggled, yet there is no way for me to break free.
Prediction scenes keep flashing across my mind, I can’t help but imagine——how I am going to starve to death, how vanished I’ll be if no ones find me here; how much danger is Jamie and our child are in when I am not around, how Melonie Myers is going to hurt Jamie and our child, how late it is for anyone

“S-see our child… die…?”Tears flow down Jamie’s face when she hears Melonie. She widens her eyes and looks at me, just like she is seeking a denial towards Melonie’s statement from me.I shake my head at Jamie, and I try to convince Melonie, “Melonie, please put the knife down… You know you don’t want to do this… Jamie is innocent, the child is innocent, you know you can’t hurt them, or you’ll turn yourself into a criminal…!”Whereas, Melonie laughs, “A criminal? That sounds fine for me, because I will do anything for Andrew. I will do anything to obtain his love even if he wants me to become a murderer!”There, her

It is almost midnight when I sit in my living room alone, waiting for Jamie’s butler to show up. It is always a quiet night like this that makes people feel lonely, isn’t it? Tears ooze out of my eyes abruptly, they trickle down my face one after another. No matter how many times I wipe them off, no matter how hard I try to stop myself from crying, my tears just won’t stop. I cover my face with my palms to cover my sound, I sob as quietly as I can, not hoping to wake Jamie up. I try to stop myself by clearing my head, yet every quiet moment like this keeps reminding me of the fact that we’ve just lost our child. Our dear child… If you can hear us,
