Chapter 141: Alex’s regrets
"... I watched the family fall apart in the hands of a riff-raff. If I couldn’t even protect my family from a nobody like Damien, then, how can I protect it from others?" She shut her eyes tightly as memories flashed through her mind.
There were no sweet memories between her and her family. It was either she was having a heated argument with Alice, her mother, or father.
Other times, it was her threatening to leave the house. The last one was after Alice slapped her. She fought back and in the end, Old Man Lee gritted his teeth and disowned her.
Alex had thought that was the best thing that could ever happen to her...getting disowned. Unfortunately, it was the beginning of her misery.
Her eyes opened and tears gushed out.
A long while later, she decided to change the topic. The memories were too painful to relive. "Alice, I can feel our daughter will be different from us. I hope to be alive to watch her bring changes to the world. But I’m scared."
She sat on the tiled floor and rested her back on the wall with her hands supporting her knees before she started speaking slowly like she was having a non-serious conversation with a friend who was sitting in front of her.
"I left when things got tough and took on another identity and appearance, thinking everyone would believe I died too, but I was wrong... so wrong, sister. I was informed that they are searching for me and the baby I ran away with. Alice, the child isn’t theirs, she’s not supposed to be theirs. She’s a curse to them all but why are they still hunting for us?" She sighed and rested her head on the wall with her face raised and eyes closed.
Her sharp and pointed nose stood there intimidating her mildly freckled face. Her full and long lashes, just like Jeslyn’s sat there protecting and shielding her eyes. Her full pink nude lips didn’t look tired even though the owner was.
