Revenge After Death (Michael and Stephanie) novel Chapter 344

Andy seemed to pity Steven.

But it definitely did not look like all Andy felt for Steven was fatherly love. There were other complex emotions mixed in as well in his gaze.

Below the photo, my mother had written a note that read: "Number 0's emotions seem more turbulent than Stephie's. It appears as if he had a tendency toward violence and abuse, but this cannot be confirmed at the moment. Further observation is required."

My head suddenly ached horrible and I heard a voice in my head, "Stephie, you can't have your own children.

"I'm really sorry, Stephie. But your genes and Steve's aren't…"

"Sherry, what are you saying to the child?"

I could hear my mom's guilty voice and my dad's rebuke in my mind. Then, it was followed by the sound of things being packed into suitcases.

"Don't affect her negatively with your emotions. Just act normal and don't make it obvious that something is amiss. I'm going to put our things in the car first. After attending the ceremony at the orphanage today, we'll leave Huma."

My mom sobbed and hugged me rather tightly, "Stephie, I'm so sorry. I wasn't good enough for you."

"We don't have much time. He has spies everywhere, we need to go as soon as we can," my dad urged.

"Have you given the police the documents and evidence you've compiled?" my mom asked, sounding fearful.

"It'd be too obvious if I handed those in myself. I asked Charlie to do it."

"Can we trust him?" my mom asked, sounding doubtful.

"We go a long way back, don't we? His wife couldn't conceive, remember? You ended up helping her with IVF. He's grateful to us, so he's bound to help us."

In my memory, it was clear that my dad seemed to trust this Charlie fellow.

I couldn't remember who Charlie was.

I began tugging my hair from the headache.

I could vaguely make out a memory. On the day of the car accident, my parents had been unusually nervous. It felt as if they were planning to hide from some people and were trying to take me away.

They had entrusted some evidence and information to Charlie to give to the police.

But judging from the current situation I was in, it was obvious that Charlie had betrayed my dad's trust. Not only did he not give the information he was supposed to to the police, but he might have even exposed my dad to the very person my dad was running from.

As such, my parents, along with Andy, ended up getting involved in that fatal and premeditated car accident on Hymn Bridge.

"Wifey…" Steven's whining snapped me back to reality. I instinctively switched my phone off and was immediately enveloped in Steven's embrace when I turned around.

My breathing started to become shallow.
