Chapter 1014 Don't want to live as his wife anymore
The conversation she heard just now was not imaginary.
She laughed self-deprecatingly, and felt more and more she was lowly. Even though she was locked up in the ward by Anthony to wait for delivery, after Anthony was concerned about her a few times, she began to waver.
But when she was shaken, Anthony belittled her even more.
What else could she hope for...
The circles of her eyes turned red uncontrollably. She held Lyra's hand. As if trying to convince herself to give up, she asked Lyra,
"I heard what you said just now. He didn't show up all night last night, and the phone couldn't be reached. He went to find Jaqueline, right?"
Lyra looked embarrassed and didn't answer.
"Don't lie to me. I have the right to know about this. Can you tell me the truth?"
Lyra looked at her weak but hurt look, and her eyes also turned red. "Yes, we can't find him, but whether he went to Jaqueline or not, this is just our guess, and we can't be sure yet."
She smiled sarcastically. "No need to have evidence to prove it. As long as Jaqueline is not dead, he will find her after all."
She stepped into the gate of hell with half her foot and suffered all night in the delivery room before giving birth to their child.
But what about Anthony? What was Anthony doing at that time?
Was he chatting with Jaqueline?
It was ridiculous.
Her whole heart was completely cold.
Like the thunderstorm last night, her love to him disappeared without a trace.
She was extremely sober and determined, holding Lyra's hand and praying, "Lyra, please help me again. I can't wait for him to come back, let alone face the dilemma of going back to Callahan Residence with him. Please send me away now. I'm begging you."
Lyra didn't speak, because it was difficult to agree to this request.
Mavis struggled to get out of bed and wanted to kneel down in front of Lyra, but was stopped by Lyra and Ella in time. So, she could only beg with tears in her weakness.
"Please, I really don't want to live as Anthony's wife anymore..."
Jaqueline was not dead, so Anthony went to find her. Was Anthony going to bring her back again? Just keep her by his side for protection?
Her identity as Mrs. Callahan will only make her more difficult to live with herself.
"Lyra, help me one last time. I'm really begging you."
Seeing her almost collapsed crying and begging, Lyra was very heartbroken.
After being pregnant, she had been depressed. Mavis really suffered from depression. In this situation, she may feel so uncomfortable that she will go crazy.
"Mavis, no matter where I send you, Anthony will always come to you. There are some things that you have to make clear."
Mavis shook her head frantically. She didn't want to see Anthony again, and she didn't want to watch Anthony bring Jaqueline back again.
"Play a scene, say I'm dead, die in the delivery room last night. As long as Anthony believes it, he won't look for me, the dead person, again. Please, Lyra."
Lyra was silent.
Feign death to escape?
This method was not impossible, but it will cost a little more money and need more connections.
But new problems appeared again.
Ella was puzzled. "What about the baby? He is still so young and needs to be taken care of. He can't stand the pain of all kinds of transportation. Moreover, if you two are all missing, Anthony must suspect it."
This was a very serious problem.
Delta Union had a small land and was a country near the sea. If they didn't want to leave their passport information, they can only leave by a cargo ship out to sea, but the baby was too small to bear it at all.
Moreover, if they left together, it was easy to target.
Before Anthony left, Mavis' due date was already around the corner, so it was impossible to hide it from him.
Ella thought about it, and helped to find a solution, "How about it? Mavis will leave, forget the unpleasantness here, start life again, and leave the baby to Anthony to raise."
"No!"
Mavis firmly disagreed, "The baby must not be left to Anthony. He doesn't love the baby, and likes to call the baby a bastard. He won't treat the baby well."
Ella said, "Mavis, be sober. Sooner or later, he will know that the child is his. If he doesn't believe it, he can do a paternity test by himself. Moreover, Mavis, the Callahan family is a wealthy family in Crana. The baby follows his father and has no worries about food and clothing. And he will receive the best education."
Mavis froze.
Yes, she forgot to think about the future for the baby.
If she took the baby away and lived a poor life with him, wasn't it unfair to the baby?
"But... but, I only have my baby. If I don't have him by my side, what's the point of my life?"
If the baby boy suffered by Anthony's side, what should she do...
The people in the entire ward fell silent.
The baby's future was a tricky issue.
After pondering, Lyra proposed an eclectic way, "Mavis, how about this? The baby will stay with Anthony to raise him before the age of six, and I will often visit and take photos and videos of the baby for you to see."
"After the age of six, give the baby the right to choose. If the baby is willing to leave the Callahan family and live with his mother, Malcolm and I will help send him to you no matter what the price is, okay?"
...
On the island, the tranquility after the storm.
Anthony took people to the island that day, and fought with Sheldon's people again.
Almost all the people on both sides were seriously injured.
Jaqueline didn't love Blaze and was unfeeling towards Blaze, but she loved Anthony and didn't want to see the enmity between Anthony and Sheldon continue to expand.
The two sides were hiding behind the reef, tens of meters apart, and there were several guns facing each other. They were merciless to one another.
While the two sides were not paying attention, Jaqueline stole a gun from Sheldon's men, ran out, and stood in the middle of the sand where the two sides were facing each other.
"Jaqueline!"
Sheldon yelled, "Get out of here!"
Jaqueline didn't listen, the gun in her hand was quickly loaded, and it was against her head.
"Jaqueline, you're crazy!" Sheldon was about to explode.
Jaqueline ignored, first looked at Anthony's direction, and smiled at the man behind the reef bunker.
"Anthony, I'm glad to see you again, and even more glad that you know I'm alive and will come to me."
Anthony said calmly, "You saved me twice. I remember your kindness. This time I came here to ask you something important. Put down the gun first."
Jaqueline shook her head stubbornly.
"I know what you want to ask."
She sneered, "It's just a coincidence that I look like Lyra, but your family killed Mr. Alford's relative before, so he and your family have a very deep hatred."
"He knows you like Lyra, so he has been training me, let me learn Lyra's conversation and manners, so that I can be more like Lyra and I can confuse you. The first time I rescued you in the fishing village was not a coincidence. It was arranged by him. So there is no kindness, but scheme."
"You came here because you were worried that he would deal with the Lloyd family, and you wanted to prove it clearly, didn't you?"
She had an indifferent smile on her face and continued, "Don't worry. He has nothing against the Lloyd family. And he won't use me to target the Lloyd family. Now he sees you as a thorn and just wants to get rid of you."
"You don't love me. I know that."
She sighed and smiled a little sadly, "During the time I was with you, although you took good care of me, you always maintained the appropriate distance. You never forgot that you are a married man. I will not force you in the future."
Anthony listened quietly, his eyes narrowed, and he remained silent.
"Go, I am his person, and I will be his person in this life. He came to me, and I will go back with him."
As Jaqueline said, she turned her head to look at Sheldon again...
