Chapter 4

Author: Jasmine Flower
"You're not worthy of her!" Jake yelled.

Ansel was thoroughly infuriated by what he had said.

He kicked the chair aside in anger and raised his fist to hit Jake. "How am I not worthy of her?

"During my darkest moments, she divorced me and aborted our child to be with you! She betrayed our love!

"She was the one who left, not me!

"Jake, go home and tell Julie that I'll treat her the same way she treated me back then! Tell her to wait and see!"

After that, Ansel and Anne left together.

Jake was detained for stalking.

As he watched Ansel leave, Jake sneered. "Ansel, you'll find out the truth one day, and you're going to regret it!"

Ansel did not hear him.

I followed and left with him.

Anne took out her phone. "Maybe we should delete these photos."

Despite what she had said, she looked very reluctant to do so.

Ansel hesitated. "You don't have to delete them. Keep them."

Ansel drove Anne home, but he did not look as if he intended to get out of the car.

Anne looked pitifully at him. "Can I stay with you? I'm scared of being alone at home. I'm afraid that there'll be other nasty people following me."

Ansel shook his head. "I'm going home to pack up. You can move in after some time. The security in this neighborhood is very tight, so there won't be any nasty people."

Anne wanted to say something else, but then she nodded and got out of the car, because she had seen the impatience in Ansel's face.

When Ansel returned to the Lovean Sea, he stood beside the trash can at the entrance. The cardboard box that he had thrown out a few days ago was no longer there.

He looked conflicted.

He was the one who had thrown it away. Why was he upset?

"Why are you staring at the trash can? It's so cold outside. Come in, quickly."

It was my mother-in-law, Emily Patterson.

"Mom, why did you come back so suddenly? You should have told me. I would have gone to the airport to pick you up!"

Ansel stubbed out his cigarette and got out of the car.

Emily frowned. "I know the way home. I don't need you to come and get me.

"You've been back for over ten days. Why didn't you bring Julie home? I miss her!

"Didn't you tell me that you and Anne were just friends and that you didn't have any feelings for her? Why have you announced that you're going to get married?

"If you marry her, what's Julie going to do? Don't you want Julie anymore?"

When I heard Emily's concern for me, I burst into tears. I wanted to hug her and tell her that I missed her so much.

When I saw her rosy complexion, I felt reassured.

She was much healthier now compared to six years ago, when she had been unconscious and swollen all over because we'd had no money for her dialysis.

It was a pity that she did not know that I missed her.

Ansel remained silent at Emily's nagging. Finally, he went to the study. When he saw that Emily was drinking out of the handmade cup that I had given her, he could not help complaining.

"Mom, stop talking about Julie. I hate her!

"She divorced me and abandoned both of us back then. What use is it for you to miss her now? She's probably off having fun somewhere. Why do you want to go looking for her? Do you want to be abandoned by her again?

"Besides, she was the one who abandoned us first. You didn't even scold her, and now you're complaining that I'm not bringing her home? Be reasonable!"

Emily blocked his path angrily and said sternly, "Ansel, I adopted Julie and brought her home when she was six years old. She lived with us. She's such a kind child. She must have had a reason for abandoning us during that difficult time!

"Julie grew up with you and was always following you around. You were her world, and after she grew up, she married you and became your wife. You loved her so much, and she loved you. Shouldn't you try to investigate why she divorced you so suddenly?

"Julie's such an obedient child. I won't believe that she's as callous and cruel as they say she is on the Internet!

"Tell Anne to delete those negative comments at once!"

Tears rolled uncontrollably down my cheeks as I listened to Emily.

For so many years, she was the only one who could understand my suffering.

I said silently, "Mom, you treat me so well. You're willing to believe that I did all of this because I had a reason, but I'm dead now. I can't take care of you properly anymore.

"Thank you for looking after me for so many years."

Upon hearing what Emily had said, Ansel's expression of anger turned to hesitation, and he looked conflicted.

He knew that she was right and that what she had said made sense.

After a long moment of silence, Emily told him, "I don't care how busy you are. Go and bring Julie home tomorrow. I miss her.

"I've been feeling uneasy for the past two weeks. It feels like something bad has happened, and I'm worried that something has happened to Julie.

"I'll only feel reassured when I see her!"

Ansel nodded and took out his phone to send me a message: "Julie, Mom misses you very much… I miss you very much too…"

He typed out the last few words but deleted them again and changed them: "Can you come and see her tomorrow?"

    Emily was startled. She leaned over and saw the message on the computer.The cup she was holding fell to the floor and shattered."Something has happened to Julie, hasn't it?"She fainted as soon as she finished speaking.After Ansel brought her to the hospital, he immediately contacted the police officers on Seely Street. He asked about the murder that had taken place under the bridge.The police took him to the morgue, where my corpse was lying.Ansel looked completely lost. He could not believe that I really was dead.He pulled the white cloth away, trembling. The burns on my face had left scars, and I looked terrifying. I was bald, and I was still clutching the lucky charm.Ansel began sobbing violently.Although he couldn't recognize me, he had seen the charm.He had also seen the butterfly-shaped birthmark on my neck.He didn't want to admit that I was dead, but there was so much proof to show that the corpse lying there was me."Mr. Wright, Ms. Bain was a very

    Ansel asked, "Where's Julie? She isn't replying to my messages!""I don't know. I stayed with her for the kidney transplant operation, and she disappeared after leaving the hospital alone. I couldn't contact her either."Naturally, Jake had no idea, because I had planned something big. Everyone who was close to me could be hurt, which was why I could only do it alone."It must have something to do with Wade, because Julie said that she would make him pay the price."Upon hearing Wade's name, Ansel looked startled.I began to reminisce. Wade had died three years ago.He had been shot to death by the police while he was being arrested for murder, tax evasion, fraud, and many other crimes. The case had blown up all over the country.Even Ansel would probably have heard of it despite being abroad.He looked rather panicked at the thought of it. He had probably guessed that Wade's death might have had something to do with me.Ansel went to the hospital as soon as he left the

  • Don't Cry, My Darling   Chapter 7

    One day, over ten people barged into the house and began beating Emily, Ansel, and me up.Emily and I were not their main targets, so we managed to find an opportunity to hide in the bathroom and call the police.However, Ansel was beaten up so badly that he had over ten fractures in his body.He was half-dead. While he was being treated in the hospital, Emily was diagnosed with kidney failure. She needed a kidney transplant, and the doctor said that mine happened to be compatible. I was three months pregnant at the time.We had been anticipating the baby for a long time, and it had finally come. However, we were not equipped to raise a child at the time, nor were the circumstances suitable for doing so.In the end, I had a plan, which I began to carry out.The first step was to divorce Ansel and tell him that I was going to abort the child because I did not want to continue living with him in such poor conditions.Ansel told me that I could abort the child as he had no mone

    Ansel was stunned.He could not accept the truth.I stood beside him and sighed. He had still found out about the truth in the end.I thought about the events of the past. I had been a reporter. I was a minor reporter who exposed the dark side of society.For my first assignment, I exposed a baby product company that did not meet the health and safety standards. The company almost went bankrupt because of what they had to pay.They had become embroiled in controversy.After that, the company had injected me with some kind of virus to try and kill me.That was why I had had a constant high fever, which triggered pneumonia and resulted in the near failure of multiple organs. Luckily, I had gotten through it and didn't die.However, I was far less healthy than I had been in the past.That was when Ansel had given me that lucky charm.After I recovered, I realized that what I was doing was very dangerous. If I were alone and did not have a family, I could continue being a repor

  • Don't Cry, My Darling   Chapter 5

    I still remembered how I had been abandoned by my own parents when I was six years old. They felt that I was too frail and spent too much of their money because I was always sick. They threw me down beside a trash can when I was an inch from death.It had been a very, very cold winter day, and I'd had a high fever. Emily was the one who saw me and brought me home. She had my illness treated and nourished me to improve my health. She gave me all kinds of expensive vitamins and supplements so that I slowly became stronger. Once I was healthy, she asked me if I wanted to go back to my parents. I shook my head and told her that I didn't know where my home was. She let me stay and live with her. Emily was very good to me. She was divorced and raising Ansel on her own, and she was not well off, but she was still willing to let me have the best of everything. She treated me like her own daughter.Sometimes, Ansel would even get jealous of me and say that he felt as if he were the on
