On seeing her condition, Benjamin said, “Okay, but we must be cautious just in case Matthew finds out…”
“He won’t, we’ll be extra careful.” The woman simply wanted to vent her anger at this point.
“Okay, let’s go.” Benjamin knew that she was fuming now and just wanted an outlet for the ordeal that she had gone through today. They just had to be careful.
They left from the back door and checked the surroundings before getting into the car. Abbott’s men were observing from behind some trees.
Benjamin and the woman thought that they had been very careful to prevent being discovered. Little did they realize that they had been shadowed since they left that place.
They followed Benjamin’s car and drove to an increasingly remote area. They finally stopped outside an old age hospice.
Benjamin exited the car and the woman followed suit. She seemed eager and joyful when she said, “They would never figure out that we are hiding the baby at a hospice.”
Benjamin looked around and then said cautiously, “We’d better be more careful. Let’s go.”
The woman nodded and entered the hospice from the back door. The men which came with them followed them into the hospice but the woman instructed them to secure the entrance while she and Benjamin entered the room.
It was a square room with a bed to the side. A middle-aged woman sat by the bed carrying the baby.
“Put down the child and leave.” Benjamin said.
The middle-aged woman gently placed the baby down and said, “The baby was crying the entire night and just fell asleep.”
The woman was frustrated and said, “Just put the baby down and leave!”
The baby was very cute and the middle-aged woman started to become attached to it. Although she had been paid to do this, she was curious as to why they kept the baby here.
However, she dared not ask and placed a blanket over Joshua before leaving.
The woman walked towards the bed and noticed that Joshua very much resembled Dolores. She began to rage within her. She was a woman just like Dolores. Why did she have to serve this old man while Dolores could marry such a good man and give birth to this adorable baby? She began to become overwhelmed in hate.
She yanked off the blanket covering Joshua which startled him and started to cry.
“Go ahead and cry until your parents hear you. I’m sure they’ll be heartbroken when they hear your cries.” The woman took out her cellphone and recorded a video of Joshua crying. She would show it to Matthew at the appropriate time. She wanted Matthew to know that the baby suffered because he tortured her.
She kept the phone and stoked Joshua’s face as she said, “How fortunate are you to be born into a wealthy family?”
She scoffed while her eyes betrayed her vileness, “What a pity to end up in my hands.”
Then, she pinched Joshua’s nose and yelled, “Don’t cry!”
Joshua’s face began to turn red from the lack of air.
“Haha ha…” The woman shrieked, “You will pay for all that I had suffered today. You can hate your parents for that!”
Bang! The door was kicked in!
