Snare of Love novel Chapter 96

Dolores stole a glance at Dolores who was standing beside the window before continuing, “We have a common enemy.”

“…”

Abbott felt it more interesting. He stooped and leaned towards Terry, “Describe it in details.”

Matthew, who was fondling Dolores’ hand like playing a toy, was still lowering his head. Nevertheless, when he heard that Terry and Dolores had a common enemy, his eyelashes slightly trembled.

Matthew was caressing the back of Dolores’ hand back and forth.

This matter was neither simple nor sophisticated. Yet it was hard to make it clear with a few sentences.

Terry pondered for a while, “Let me start from the very beginning. When I first met Ms. Flores, I was trying to get a customer for my cab. When she saw me, she acted excitedly as if she knew me, but indeed I didn’t know her…”

Terry narrated how he got to know Dolores, “My elder brother died six years ago. When he was alive, he was bribed by someone with money and deliberately knocked down a person with his truck and then disgusted it as a car accident…” He looked up at Dolores before continuing, “Ms. Flores was the victim of the accident. Luckily, she didn’t die. The cab driver died, and she was badly injured.”

Dolores slightly curled up her fingers and her palms broke into a sweat as Terry’s words made her recall her painful experience again.

At that time, some debris inserted into her caudal vertebra and they would compress her nerves if she didn’t have an operation, which would paralyzed her and therefore she would not be able to walk in the future. Nevertheless, if she was to have an operation, she had to have the anesthesia.

But she was pregnant back then and the anesthesia would affect the unborn babies.

She wanted to keep the babies, but she also didn’t want to be consigned to a wheelchair for the rest of her life.

Moreover, she could not afford to be paralyzed. Otherwise, who would take care of the children when they were born?

Who would take care of her mother when she was old?

So she couldn’t be paralyzed.

Neither could she abort the children. She was originally reluctant to give up the baby and was even more reluctant after learning that she was actually pregnant with a pair of twins.

They had been her flesh and blood at the moment she was pregnant.

As long as she was alive, she would make sure that they would be alive.

She would never give up them.

Therefore, in the end, she could only choose to have an operation without anesthesia.

When she recalled of the pain of her flesh being cut now, she would still tremble all over as if she was experiencing the sharp pain again.

At that time, she wished so much that she could pass out under the great pain. But as a woman pregnant with babies, she couldn’t faint and had to remain sober; otherwise, it would do harm to the babies.

When a woman delivered a baby by Caesarean section and chose to have an anesthesia, it only narcotized part of her body and her mind was still clear.

This was the reason why she had to keep her mind clear.

She didn’t want to recall the bad memories and wished so much that she could forget them. Nevertheless, that pain was rooted in her memories and could not be erased.

Once someone mentioned about it, she would recall it clearly.

Just like now, although it had been six years, the sharp pain would still surged in her mind like the turbulent tides.

She suddenly clenched her fists.

Matthew obviously had noticed her abnormal reaction. He lifted his head and noticed that the wisps of hair around her ears were soaked by her sweats that were caused by fear and nervousness.

It was like she was engulfed by fear as she was entrapped in some horrible memories.

He reached out to pull her into his arms and stoke her back with his broad hand, “Don’t be afraid.”

Dolores closed her eyes and put her head on his chest.

His breathing as well as his beefy chest seemed to have the power to console her and Dolores slowly calmed down herself.

This was the first time that Dolores had exposed her weak self to Matthew.

Seeming to think of something, Matthew hugged Dolores tighter and landed his lips on top of her head.

“We have a common enemy because the one who killed my elder brother was actually the one who had bribed my brother to knock down Ms. Flores. We reached collaborative agreement today so naturally we are partners. I and Ms. Flores only met for three times. The reason why we met this time was that she needed to buy a car. As she just comes back to the country and is unfamiliar with the conditions, she asked me to be her guide. This is the case.”

Abbott touched her nose and stole a glance at Matthew.

But Matthew was consoling Dolores at the moment and didn’t even cast a glance at him.

He secretly heaved a sigh of relief and asked, “Do you know who the suspect is?”

Terry nodded honestly, “Yes. The suspect is a woman from the Herbert family, which is a powerful family. And it’s not that easy for us to reverse the verdict.”
