Chapter 1023 She Is Pregnant


    "Mom...why do you insist on being so stubborn? You really muste to your senses," said Sue


    pleadingly. Filled with such disbelief at her mother''s apparent loss of morals, Sue was fed up with her


    mother''s foolishness, especially when it came to her brother Allen and his mischievous antics. She


    sighed as she continued, "Allen has killed someone. He hasmited a very serious crime and he''s as


    guilty as sin. You are aware of that, right? Do you still think he is justified for doing what he did? Are


    you seriously still considering covering up for him in this critical moment? If that''s the case then you


    really are out of your mind. Who does that?!"


    As she was speaking, Sue got a little agitated as she looked at Peggy. "Mom, look at you, do you have


    any idea what you have be now? Allen is a wanted criminal and you''re going to run from the


    police with him. You are fugitives and you are bound to live a miserable life, in which you will always be


    running."


    "Stop talking nonsense. You don''t know anything," Peggy argued, vexed by Sue''s remarks. She looked


    at Sue angrily. "He''s my only son. If I don''t help him, who will? Will you help him? And will you support


    my life, since you''re married now and all? Huh? I suppose even if you do actually agree to support me,


    your family-inw will not approve that at all."


    With a sneer, Peggy continued speaking to Sue. "Yes, I admit that he is guilty of killing someone, but I


    also understand his reasons. As a man, how could he tolerate his wife cheating on him. If it were me, I


    would have done the same thing. A whore like Doris doesn''t deserve our pity. As I''ve said, your brother


    ispletely not at fault. You should try to understand where he wasing from as well. He''s


    happen? She got exactly what she deserved."


    "Mom, do you have any idea what you are saying? I don''t understand you at all. Killing a person is a


    huge crime. You can not just y down its magnitude. Allen should admit his guilt, if not, you should


    turn him in. If you don''t, you''re just as guilty as he is!" Sue grumbled with discontent as she threw up


    her hands, unsure of what to say to change her mothers mind.


    Soon after that, She stopped talking, realizing that she might have just been wasting her breath


    because neither of them was listening to her. The tension was so thick that you could cut it with a knife.


    Peggy, seemingly annoyed, barked, "I asked you not to use your brother anymore. Didn''t you hear


    me?"


    Sue snapped back, "But I''m not using him. We already know that he did it. I''m just stating facts."


    Hearing this, Peggy was even more furious and shouted, "It was all caused by that bitch. Allen gave


    her everything that she wanted and satisfied all of her needs, but in the end, she betrayed him. It was


    an insult, not only to him, but to our family. She deserved it everything she got."


    "Mom, how could you even say something like that?..." Sue thought that her mother''s argument was


    preposterous and didn''t make any sense and it upset her terribly. Suddenly, she felt her baby moving


    inside her womb, making her quite ufortable. She covered her belly with one hand, and with the


    other one, she held on to the railing of the stairs. She needed a rest for a while.


    Seeing that Sue was ufortable, Peggy and Allen said nothing. Nor did they do anything to help


    her. They just didn''t care about her at all. They just stared nkly at her with no care nor concern.


    "So why did youe here today?" asked Sue after she had rested a while and felt a little better. "Now


    that you are running for you life, why do youe here to look for me? What do you want?! Aren''t you


    afraid of being found by the police and getting caught?"


    "Do you think I want toe back to you?" Allen was angry and on edge so he yelled at Sue, "The


    police are out there seaching for us. Mom and I have nowhere to hide ourselves and we are also


    peniless. If we didn''te back to find you, mom and I may have starved to death."


    "That''s what you deserve!" Sue scolded Allen, "Look at what you have done. Mom is old and you are


    making her suffer like this with you. I tell you, you should turn yourself in and confess your crime to the


    police and beg for their leniency. Otherwise I will..."


    "Otherwise you will what?" interrupted Peggy. Peggy stood in front of Sue and said at the top of her


    voice, "Don''t you ever forget, he is your brother, and you are his only sister. Don''t be so harsh and cold-

    hearted to him. Think of a way to help him out if you can. Stop asking him to turn himself in!"


    "Mom, it''s for his own good," said Sue bitterly. "Since he has made a huge mistake, he needs to take


    the consequences of his wrongdoing. No matter what Doris had done, Allen you shouldn''t have killed


    her. she was a living human life. Not to mention that she was pregnant... So you took two lives. What


    kind of man does that? How could you do that? Don''t you feel even a tiny bit guilty? Maybe one small


    twinge of remorse?"


    "You''re such a wuss, and stop pretending to be the paragon of virtue!" Peggy countered, looking rather


    discontended. "It was not Allen''s child anyway. It shouldn''t havee into this world. Your brother


    didn''t do anything wrong at all."


    "If he hadn''t done anything wrong, the why would he be running? What is he hiding from? Why is he


    fleeing for his life now? Why is he afraid that the police will arrest him?" Sue snapped back, furrowing


    her eyebrows.


    Peggy looked at Sue with a sense of annoyance and said to her, "I''m so fed up with your holier than


    thou attitude. Cut the crap! I didn''te to you today to talk this bullshit with you. You''d better do as I


    tell you. Ask your husband to get arge sum of money for us, then arrange for us to leave the country


    safely. Do you get that?"


    "I will not do it." Sue stared at Allen and advised him earnestly, "Allen, you''ve done a lot of bad things.


    You cannot continue on like this, making one mistake after another. It cannot be denied that you''ve


    already killed Doris. That''s a mistake already, and you should go to the police and confess your crime


    to plead for mercy."


    "Shut up your big stupid mouth!" snapped Peggy. Before Allen spoke, Peggy jumped up in a frenzy. "I


    have only one son and you want to send him to prison. Are you crazy? He could be put to death, do


    you know that?"


    "Mom... That''s why he should not flee but turn hismelf in. It''s for his own good."


    "Save your breath. Get your husband to bring the money here. Then we will be on our way." Peggy


    sneered and continued to say, "Listen to me carefully. I will never allow my son to turn himself in. If he


    does, he will be screwed, and his whole life will be really over. So just do as I tell you. Get the money


    prepared and have two new IDs made for us. We will start a new life in another ce..."


    As Peggy was talking, she took hold of Sue''s hand. "Sue, you are my only daughter and Allen''s only


    sister. I am begging you. Please, for thest time, help Allen, and help me."


    Peggy looked at Sue with pleading eyes. "Haven''t you always wanted to sever the connection with me?


    I promise you. If you agree to get the money for us and have the IDs ready to send us out of the


    country, we will nevere back, and then you will never see us again. It''s a two-for-one thing for you.


    Think about it."


    "Mom, I really can''t do that," refused Sue with a reluctant smile. "This is a matter of principle. No matter


    he is my brother or not, I cannot do that. Even if it''s you that hasmitted a crime, I will not cover up


    a crime for you."


    She lowered down her head and murmured, "Besides, Anthony will not allow me to do so..."


    "He is your husband. He surely will ept your request if you talk to him," said Peggy hurriedly.


    "What''s more, you are pregnant with his baby. He loves you and the baby, right? Of course he will listen


    to what you have to say."


    "I won''t talk to him about this. Not another word," Sue said, shaking her head. "I am going to call the


    police. I can''t watch you go on making mistakes like this anymore. I am doing this for your own good."


    Smack! Without saying anything, Allen lunged forward and pped Sue in the face. It was so hard that


    Sue fell to the floor and her mobile phone dropped onto the floor.


    "Sue, why are you so bitchy? Do you need me to show you how you are supposed to behave


    yourself?" Allen red at Sue viciously and said, "I am telling you. If you do call the police now, I will


    definitely kill you. If you don''t believe, go ahead. I will surely make you suffer, together with that baby in


    your tummy."


    "What...what are you going to do?" Sue stammered. She was so scared that she covered her belly with


    her hands, sitting on the floor. Overwhelmed with a shudder of horror, she felt a drop of liquid on her


    lower abdomen. Her forehead was dripping with beads of sweat. "Don''t hurt me or my baby..."


    "Are you scared now? Not going to call the police anymore, are you?" Allen smirked and yelled at her,


    "Get the money and new IDs ready for me and mom as soon as possible, or else, you will not be able


    to see your baby born..."


    His eyes were fixed on Sue''s belly like a starving wolf, which freaked her out. The rage she saw made


    her extremely fearful.


    At this time, Peggy stepped between them to stop Allen. She spoke to Allen, like a mother would.


    "Don''t hurt her. She''s pregnant now. It''s not a joke. Plus, if you kill her, we definitely won''t get any


    money."
