Chapter 1397


    I really didn''t know what to do at that moment. This was a family matter. Fortunately, the woman got


    tired from the beating. She pointed at Susan and scolded, "You''re useless. If it weren''t for the tens


    of thousands of dors I got from the betrothal, I would have beaten you to death now. Don''t even


    think about running away. You can go and ask anyone in this vige to take you, but no one will. I


    will kill them with a kitchen knife. I have already epted the betrothal gifts from the Caulfield


    family. Don''t even think of running away."

    Susan red at her with hatred and disgust in her eyes, "Why are you ruining my life? Dream on! I


    won''t marry that fool. I would rather die than marry him. Listen, that precious son who you treasure


    so much deserved it. He bullied me. Do you still want to use my betrothal money to send him to


    college? Stop dreaming! A good- for-nothing like him will never seed in life. If you don''t believe


    me, just wait and see what will happen in the future."


    "You little b*tch!" The woman shouted. "You just cursed my son. You are just a worthless daughter.


    Do you really think you will have a promising future just because you went to school for a few


    years? Dream on. You are only fit to serve and take care of others for the rest of your life. Do you


    want to enjoy your life in the city by yourself? Dream on! I will never let you do what you want in


    your life. You little b*tch. You even cursed my son. Don''t ever think about having a good life, you


    don''t deserve it."


    I was stunned, looking at this mother-daughter pair in front of me. This was the first time I ever saw


    a mother have such a conversation with her own daughter.


    All parents loved their children, but this pair made me realize that parents were not always right.


    However, was a woman like this even worthy of being called a mother?


    After being almost beaten to death, Susan was once again brutally thrown into the cow pen by the


    woman. After that, the woman acted as if nothing had happened, and started to brag to the group of


    onlookers about how good she was at educating her daughter.


    All the other children did not dare to speak after they had witnessed their eldest sister being beaten


    up like this. They were standing to one side with their heads low. Abby was crying so hard, but she


    did not dare to say anything.


    After all the onlookers had left, the woman looked at us and said with a smile, "Gail asked me to


    invite you to stay for lunch. That little b*tch will be getting married today, so we will be inviting all the


    vigers to a meal. You all can have dinner together with everyone before going back. Is it okay?"


    I hadn''t returned to my senses yet from the scene I witnessed just now. Upon hearing the woman


    asking, Sheridan replied with a murmur of approval. The woman smiled happily when she saw Abby


    holding my hand, and said, "Miss Reid, it seems that Abby and you are getting along with each


    other very well. That''s really great."


    I froze for a while, unable to answer her. I could only squeeze out a forced smile and there was an


    indescribable feeling in my heart.


    I had no idea if she knew that Abby was leaving with me to donate her organs to my daughter. Did


    she know how painful it was to extract the bone marrow from her body? Did she know how helpless


    her child would feel when lying on the operating table? This was what her daughter was going to


    face.


    Or, perhaps, in her opinion, these were not important at all. As long as her daughter could bring in


    money for her, nothing else mattered.


    The signal in the vige was not good, so I didn''t receive any more messages or calls from Hendrix


    after I sent him a messagest night. Bobbie went around the vige to have a look, and


    meanwhile, Abby''s mother was preparing lunch.


    It had stopped raining at noon. Abby''s mother asked some of the children to clean up the sewage


    on the cement floor, and then she carried out the small table and ced it outside with several


    stools. Then, she instructed the children to go and borrow another table from their neighbors


    because there was not enough in the house, and continued to prepare the food.
