Chapter 7\
The rescue team responded quickly and released a statement online criticizing Franklin.”
Soon someone released a video of Franklin watching me die for Myrna and wrote, [Why should a man who can abandon the lives of his wife and children continue to be a lifeguard?]}}
Online public opinion broke out and someone followed the clues to find Myrna’s social account.”
Her comment section was instantly overwhelmed with insults directed at her for being ignorant and shameless.“]
Myrna was removed from all the opera performances that she was originally scheduled to perform in and was asked to pay a penalty for breach of contract.
For a time, she became the most notorious person on the entire Internet.
What made Myrna even more devastated was that she found that she could no longer contact Franklin and Olivet.
Because they kneeled at my door every day, begging for my forgiveness.}
After the funeral, I went to a remote town, removed my SIM card and cut off all contact with the past.
But Franklin was looking for me everywhere like crazy.
In order to find out my location, he and Oliver knelt in front of Franklin’s parents for seven whole days.
I heard that his knees were broken from kneeling and he could only walk with the help of crutches from that moment on.”

Franklin’s mother finally softened her heart and told him a rough location.”
Franklin and Oliver relied on that little information and took my photo to inquire from house to house.
During the process, they were beaten as mentally ill and arrested by the police as human traffickers. However, they still found my current address.
At that time, I was practicing songs with my vocal teacher.
As I opened the door, I almost did not recognize Franklin.
There were dark circles under his eyes and his pupils were bloodshot. His shirt, which was always meticulously done, at that time was wrinkled to a mess and most of his black hair was white.
He stared at me infatuatedly and after a long while he spoke in a hoarse voice, his tone mixed with endless regret and pain, “Jenna, are you okay?”
Oliver grabbed my trouser leg tightly, with tears in the corners of his eyes as he pleaded, “Mom, I miss you so much, please don’t leave Oliver, okay?”
I just calmly replied, “Without your torture, I am living a better life. Franklin, when will you sign the divorce agreement?“} Franklin was stung by the nonchalance in my words and his face turned pale in an instant.”
He lowered his eyes, his tone almost humble, “Jenna, let’s not get divorced, okay? I often think about the days when we were 18 recently and I feel more and more that I was wrong.
“I was bewildered and didn’t see my feelings clearly. The person I love has always been you. Please, forgive me, okay?“}

Oliver also looked at me timidly and begged, “Mom, please don’t leave us. Oliver will be good and will never make you angry again. I just want you to be my mother.”
I refused without hesitation, “No.”
The two men fell silent immediately and deep sadness filled their equally haggard faces.
Franklin threw his crutches aside and pulled Oliver down to his knees inch by inch.
Franklin’s lips trembled and he choked up, “I’m sorry, Jenna, it’s all Myrna’s fault for blinding me. I wrongly accused you and caused you to lose your child and your job. I didn’t know she was such a disgusting person.
“Myrna approached me for ulterior motives. She just coveted my family background and I realized if it was you who truly loves me. Forgive me for not seeing my feelings clearly until now. But the one I love has always been you.
“It’s all my fault. I’m willing to spend the rest of my life making it up to you. My legs are broken. If you’re still not satisfied, then you can beat and scold me as you like until you calm down.“>
Oliver followed suit, begging with red eyes, “Mom, it was Myrna who bribed me with all kinds of snacks to please me. She was the one who always said bad things about you in my ear and tried to sow discord between us. That’s why I started to hate you.” }
