Chapter 369: What Could Prayers Without Actions Do?
"Do you remember how you abandoned me when I was... pregnant and helpless six years ago?"
The weight of Leslie’s words compelled Rowan and Bianca into shock, their hearts suspended for a second. The bewilderment in their eyes abruptly changed into horror.
Not giving Rowan and Bianca any chance to respond, Leslie resumed speaking. Her frosty tone had a sharp bite at the edge, her eyes glowering in suppressed fury.
"You also did nothing when the cruel old woman robbed me of my child... right after her birth."
Each of Leslie’s words electrified Rowan and Bianca. They shivered in fright as cold sweat broke on their backs.
What Leslie had just said brought back the unpleasant memories from six years ago, the ones Rowan and Bianca tried hard not to remember.
What was this?
Why... why did their daughter bring up this issue?
"...?!"
Her eyes widened in realization, Bianca stiffly moved her trembling pupils from Leslie to Calix. She didn’t know whether to feel horrified, perplexed or relieved to see how casual the young man was.
As if... he had known about this six-year-old’s worth of secret.
