Chapter 7 Jacqueline’s secret


    She is so bold!


    Jamie doesn’t think much, she wants to turn around and run away, but because she''s too flustered, she


    identally kicks the railing by the roadside, and the noise catch the attention of the people in the car.


    Jacqueline sees Jamie immediately.


    Damn it!


    Jacqueline can’t continue what she is doing. She pushes the man away and gets dressed quickly, then


    gets off to chase Jamie with the two men.


    After all, Jamie is a girl, she can’t outrun the big men.


    Soon Jamie gets caught by back, and is forced to knee down.


    The sharp pain hits her immediately. Jacqueline has already stood in front of her when she is trying to


    stand up.


    Messy hair doesn’t cover the cockiness in Jacqueline, she tidies up her hair and says, “I just wonder


    who it is. Oh, it’s my dear bother.”


    Jamie lowers her head, no one can see clearly her expression. Only her timid voice can be heard,


    “What a coincidence, sister. I didn’t know that you''re here. I''m preparing to go home. It''s gettingte.


    You should go back to have a rest earlier...”


    Jacqueline sneers after she hears what Jamie said. She reaches out and squeezes Jamie’s chin, “stop


    pretending. I know you have seen everything.”


    “No, I didn’t... I didn’t see anything.” Jamie gasps and pretends to know nothing.


    Jacqueline despises the way Jamie lowering head and stammering, which annoys her so much.


    Jacqueline grabs Jamie’s hair, forcing him to look up at her.


    “You little brat, I’m warning you, if you dare to tell anyone about tonight, your mistress mother will die!”


    For the sake of her mother, Jamie won’t be foolish enough to go against Jacqueline. Thus, silently


    bearing the physical pain and humiliation, Jamie swears, “No worry, sister. I didn’t see anything, and I


    won’t say a word about tonight.”


    Seeing Jamie cooperates well, Jacqueline withdraws her hand satisfactorily.. She won''t give a damn


    about an illegitimate child like Jamie at all.


    “Let’s go.” ncing at Jamie despicably, Jacqueline says to the men.


    Until Jacqueline left, Jamie gets up from the ground and limps back home slowly..


    After Jamie cleaned up herself, she lies in the bed with her eyes wide open. She can’t fall asleep at the


    thought of what happened today.


    The despicable look of Jacqueline and the humiliation of Chelsea, are just like a huge stone ced on


    her chest, making her hard to breathe. She really wants to leave, staying away from the Moore family,


    and the so-called upper ss.


    However...


    Jamie is still a high school student, how can she afford the medical expenses if she leaves? Thinking of


    that, Jamie gives up the thought of leaving. After all, her dignity is nothing,paring to her mother’s


    life.


    Just before falling asleep, she imagines that maybe one day, when mother recovers, she can say


    goodbye to all of these.


    At the weekend, Jamie doesn’t need to go to school, so she goes to the hospital to visit her mother.


    Her mother, Adele, who is lying in the bed, is happy to see her daughter.


    Jamie sits aside, and peels an apple for her mom.


    Adele is suffering from serious renal failure. People with the same disease may recover by paying for a


    new kidney, but she is different. Now she has only one kidney. She can only depend on the imported


    machine and medicine.


    “How is everything? Do your sister and her mother give you a hard time?” Adele asks out of concern.


    She notices that Jamie is thinner than before.


    Jamie feels sad at her mon''s questions, but she doesn’t want her mom to worry. So, she looks up to


    her mother with a smile, “Don''t worry, mom. Though they don’t care much about me, they don’t give me


    hard time.”


    Adele relieves, “Remember to study hard, and help the Moores gain glories.” After all, the identification


    of Jamie is still a dirty spot for her. Jamie nods, “I know.”


    Adele watches Jamie peeling the apple, Jamie has grown up so fast without her notice. Jamie just likes


    Adele, both have a pretty face.


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    If it isn’t for that reason, Jamie would have dressed beautifully in a long skirt and long hair. She would


    be a pretty 18-years old girl. But to keep both of them safe, it has to be this way.


    “How is your father?” Adele asks out eventually.


    Jamie is stunned, almost cut herself.


    Speaking of Jack, Jamie can’t help thinking about his arrogance, and how he called her mother as filthy


    woman.


    “He’s fine.” Jamie replies perfunctorily.


    Adele can tell that Jamie doesn''t like Jack.


    After Adele fleeted from that ce, she became a club singer. And she got injured identally when a


    customer picked up fight with another one, resulting in the removal of a kidney.


    Later, for the sake of Jamie, Adele had to be a mistress of Jack’s. But when she got pregnant,


    Jack abandoned her immediately.


    But in the end, she miscarried. She didn’t tell anyone. Instead, she let Jamie to rece Jack’s child. It


    happens that Jamie is thin and weak, the Moores doesn’t suspect at all.


    Adele sighs, “Jamie, no matter what, Jack is your father. You need to try your best to ept him.”


    Since Jamie was a kid, Adele has been telling her that she is Jack’s child, in case someone will


    question.


    "Please wait outside. The patient is going to have dialysis chemotherapy." Just as Jamie wants to


    refute, the nursees in.


    Jamie feels it''s time to go back. After a few words with mom, she goes back home.


    But the moment Jamie steps inside the Moore house, she can sense that something is different.
