Steven Song stuns, then says, “You crazy? You made great efforts to leave Virginia and Frances Louis. Why do you want to go back to the living hell again?”
"If I don't go back, does it mean my baby die for nothing? If one can get away with murder, isn’t it too unfair?"
Thinking of the poor baby, my heart hurts deeply. I hate Frances Louis to death.
Steven frowns and says softly, “Jane, your baby is unborn, so Frances Louis couldn’t be called a murderer. Besides, he can utilize his status to easily clear his name even if he commits a murder.”
Steven’s word deeply hurts me. Frances Louis isn’t a murderer? My baby was alive before Frances Louis killed him. I could feel his heartbeat and roll. He was a small life, the most precious life in the world to me. However, Frances Louis ruins all of this. Frances Louis ruins my only hope in the word. How can I stop hating him?
“Isn’t my baby a life in your eyes? Should I bear Frances Louis getting away with murdering my baby?" Putting hands over my heart, I look at Steven with tears. My passport, my identification credentials and the faked ones are all kept by Steven. If I want to go back, I must ask Steven for help. Otherwise, I wouldn’t beg him now like this.
Steven is very embarrassed and hesitant to say something with his lips opening. After a while, he looks at me, perplexed, and says softly, “Jane, maybe it was not Frances Louis who killed your baby.”
