Chapter 68
Oliver and Franklin finally hung their heads helplessly, like two defeated roosters, so ridiculous.
“Mom, how could you have done this?” Franklin asked as he clenched his fists, despair in his eyes.
Franklin’s mother snorted coldly, “I did this because you kept calling out Jenna when you were drunk. I thought you still liked her and she happens to be interested in you too, so why not make a couple out of her?”
“It’s all my fault.” Franklin’s mother collapsed in Franklin’s father’s arms, covering her face with her hands, “Just blame me!“}
Franklin was completely speechless and after a moment he muffled and said, “I’m sorry.”
“What’s the point of you apologizing now? The child is gone and I don’t want to continue to entangle with you!” shoved the black pen into his hand, “Sign it quickly!”
Franklin panicked immediately after realizing my resolute attitude.§
He held my wrist tightly, his voice trembling, his eyes reddening as he asked, “You… really want to divorce me?”
I desperately shook his hand off, feeling increasingly impatient, “Yes, I want a divorce.”
“What about Oliver? Can you bear to abandon him?” he asked again.
I sneered, “Hasn’t he always wanted to change his mother? Everything is just as he wished now.“}
Oliver’s eyes immediately misted up, he bit his lower lip, angry and embarrassed, “Okay! I’ve wanted Aunt Myrna to be my mother for a long time. Just sign it, Dad.”
I looked away indifferently, unwilling to pay attention.
The ringing of the phone broke the awkward atmosphere. It was Myrna.}]
Franklin’s voice softened instantly, “What’s wrong, Myrna?”
Myrna’s sobbing voice came from the other end, “Frank, help me. Someone is following me and he said he would pour sulfuric acid into my throat so that I can never sing again.“D
“Don’t be afraid, Myrna. Where are you? ‘ll be there soon.”
Franklin immediately stood up and walked out. Oliver also wiped his tears and followed him anxiously.”
But Myrna’s next words immediately pinned the two of them to the spot, “It’s Jenna. The person chasing after me is Jenna. She also said that she would kill the baby in my belly to pay for her child’s life.
“Ah. blood, so much blood! Help, Frank, save our child.”
The call ended abruptly and Franklin’s face became extremely gloomy.}
After a long while, he murmured, “I didn’t tell her that Oliver and I attended the funeral. So, this is it.“}
Franklin was trembling all over, his eyes were bloodshot, “Jenna… Tell me, how many times has she used this method to deceive me?“}
But I pretended not to hear it and even smiled cheerfully, “Wow, you even had a child with her? Congratulations, Frank.”}
“But,” I changed the subject, gloating, “I still suggest you do a paternity test first, or you might end up being taken advantage of.” Franklin stood there stupidly, seemingly trying to digest the meaning of my words.
He looked at me deeply, his eyes were filled with guilt, heartache and regret.
I turned my head away and walked away.
Franklin smiled bitterly, “Jenna, how did we get to this point?“}
Oliver also grabbed the corner of my clothes and said with a tearful tone, “Don’t leave! I won’t let you abandon me.”
I paused for a moment, then quickly left them behind.}
After that day, I never saw them again.
Noble told me that Franklin was suspended by his superiors.
It was him who reported that Franklin violated professional ethics and disregarded the safety of others‘ lives during the rescue process, causing the victim to almost die.}
He said that his mother taught him to be grateful and that it was my parents who funded him to complete his studies and he could not bear to be ungrateful.
