Chapter 5

###Chapter 5

"Mum, was Dad on a business trip again?"

Suddenly, my daughter's voice at the door called me back to my senses.

I woke up at once. Told myself it didn’t matter. Although he didn’t love us, I would love my daughter and myself twice as much.

I opened my arms and hugged her as I answered, "Yes, baby, he was very busy at work."

A trace of sadness flashed across my daughter's eyes and she suddenly raised her little face and asked me, "Mum, were you leaving Dad?"

I was stunned. In fact, I had been so afraid that Charlotte would be hurt that I hadn’t figured out how to tell her about this yet.

I asked in a panic, "How did you know, baby?"

"That day, I heard you talking to a lawyer on the phone."

My daughter lay on my legs tightly, as if she were afraid of being abandoned by me, "Mom, I love you and I always want to stay with you forever."

Tears fell and I kept kissing her cute little face, "Of course, Mom would always love you."

After dinner, I packed Charlotte's luggage and coaxed my daughter to sleep. Suddenly, familiar footsteps came from downstairs, which seemed particularly hurried. Soon, David's face appeared at the door. He rushed in with a chill all over his body and grabbed my arm.

"Hurry up and let Jessica go! Just because I let her move in and I donated bone marrow to her adopted son, you kidnapped her?!"

David gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to bite me to pieces.

My arm seemed to be broken and I was in so much pain that I could not see anything, "I did not kidnap her!"

Ignoring my excuses and pleas, David dragged me to an amusement park and tied me to the bungee jumping machine that I was most afraid of. Soon, I was in the air and the air under my feet made my eyes black and my heart almost stop beating.

He stood below, staring at me with a more ferocious look than a beast, "Tell me now and I will let you down, Catherine."

"David, I really didn’t know where Jessica went! Please, don’t do this to me!"

But he didn’t believe me. On the contrary, he looked cold,

"This was your last chance, Catherine."

David had known that I was afraid of heights and that I didn’t dare to sit by the window even though it was just an office on the fifth floor. Now, he was going to use the method that I was most afraid of, regardless of my fear, just for his first love and their child.

I was weak all over as I told him, "I swear, I really didn’t know anything! I was scared, David!"

The next second, he turned around and made a gesture to the staff. Then, I felt a feeling of falling that was more terrible than hell. The moment I fell from the sky at high speed, the overwhelming darkness came and the appearance of this man finally became completely blurred and distorted.

Even if he didn’t love me, but I had never thought that he would treat me so coldly and cruelly.

Ten years of love was ultimately misplaced.
