Chapter 1103
Now that they had a foster child, the couple thought they could finally have someone to support them in the golden years of their lives, but unfortunately, the long arm of the law eventually caught up to them.After the couple was arrested by the police, Gloria turned into an orphan, in all senses of the word. She had no choice but to leave her job at the factory to avoid the Shaw family who were still searching for her. She was homeless. She did not dare to stay in a hotel, nor did she dare to rent a room. When she was at her poorest, she even slept under an overhead bridge. She met Lincoln Lynn when she was fighting off some bad guys. Back then, Lincoln was a white-collar worker at the small factory where Amelia used to work. At one glance, he immediately recognized her, saved her, and brought her home. Then, he even gave her a job. Just like this, another year passed. Naturally, Amelia and Lincoln started dating. Two years later, when she became 21 years old, Amelia marri

Gloria wandered the streets aimlessly, lost and with nowhere to go.Waves of pain emanated from her belly. She was in despair and she did not know whether she would survive, or whether her baby would arrive on this Earth safely.At that moment, Gloria suddenly understood why her mother went to all that trouble before she passed away. Once her mother passed away, she was left all alone in this world, and it was too difficult for her. She also understood why her mother wanted to give birth to her. No longer blaming her mother for her actions, Gloria went to her mother’s grave and sobbed for a whole afternoon. When evening drew near, she felt a sudden, terrible ache in her belly. The pain was so bad she could barely walk out of the graveyard. She crawled on the ground on all fours, calling out weakly, “Help, help…”The man who came to help her was limping. The lame man exerted much strength before he successfully helped her onto a tricycle and pulled her all the way to the hospital

The little house was never sold. With a tug, the gate opened and Gloria walked inside. The house was filled with the smell of mold. The house was old and in disrepair. Puddles of water had formed everywhere from the leaking pipes, and still, it was barely habitable.After deciding to live here, she took a few of her mother’s paintings out of the wooden crates and sold them to an art gallery. She only earned a small amount of money, but it was still enough for the two of them to live off of for a few months. But their happy days were numbered. One afternoon, on the way home from the market, Gloria wheeled her daughter in her stroller but stopped when she saw visitors in the little courtyard outside. They were from the Shaw family. They changed the locks and locked up the house. Then, they threw away some of the daily necessities in the house. Before they left, they even said, “Nowadays, the world is filled with all sorts of people! Even a tiny, rundown house like this where s

Gloria was completely helpless now. At her wits’ end, she really wanted to leave all her worldly troubles behind her but, before she died, she had to clear her debt, especially since her debtor was someone who was as honest and upright as he was poor. “Lincoln Lynn, no matter what, we were husband and wife. Give me three thousand dollars. I need to return two thousand dollars to Mr. Scott. The remaining thousand, just think of it as compensation for all the years I spent with you.”Lincoln sneered, “What a perfect plan you have there! It’s not that I can’t afford three thousand dollars, but if you are lying to me…”“I am in this situation now, so why would I lie to you?” Gloria laughed pitifully.“I’ll go with you! If you’re not lying to me, then I will give you the three thousand dollars you asked for!” Lincoln said viciously.He was willing to go to a remote little village thousands of miles away with her, not because he was worried that Gloria would lie to him, but because an

But her mother was a high-school graduate. Throughout elementary school, Sabrina’s mother tutored her. That was why her results were considered excellent in the little farming village. Besides, Sabrina’s grandmother, the late Goldie Ziegler, was actually a very cultured woman. At a young age, she went abroad to study and she had dreams and goals of her own. She could paint and could compose music; she was a woman of many talents. A woman like her could not be too bad; that was why her daughter Gloria, also inherited many of her mother’s habits.For example, Gloria liked to pluck the wildflowers in the mountains and arrange them in the empty wine bottles in her home. Even if Lame Scott’s little hut was old and rundown, Gloria could still decorate the place and turn it into a classy little house. Lame Scott felt as if he had married a fairy. While Gloria, on the other hand, was happy that she no longer had to live like a nomad, with no set place to call home, nor did she have to

Gloria said calmly, “Pay me the child support you owe me for the past twelve years, then give her citizenship in South City, and then arrange for her to attend school here in South City! I want all of these conditions to be met, and not a single one less!” Lincoln said, “Dream on!”Gloria sneered again, “Lincoln Lynn, I, Amelia Yale, have lived for more than thirty years. There’s nothing I don’t dare to do! I don’t care how my life turns out to be! I don’t have any other request, and all I want is for you to be nicer to your daughter! She’s your biological daughter!”Lincoln did not say anything. “…”“She’s already twelve. She had been living in a farming village all her life, without even a piece of new clothing on her body. Lincoln Lynn, doesn’t your cold heart ache to see her like this? Don’t you want to take a look at your own daughter?” Gloria asked coldly. At that moment, when Gloria was questioning Lincoln, she was reminded of her mother. Gloria wanted her daughter to mee

The only skill she had was playing the piano, but she could only play and was not yet good enough to teach. She could not even support herself, but still had to keep an eye out for the Shaw family and avoid them as they continued their search for her.At that moment, Gloria did not think that the Shaw family was looking for her. Instead, she thought, even if they found her, they were also going to put her to death.Gloria was at her wits’ end and she was very desperate. If she had another way, she would not send her daughter to Lincoln. She thought that, as Sabrina’s biological father, no matter what, he would not be too cruel with her, would he?As long as the child could receive an education, could attend university and, in the future, could establish herself in this city, then she could escape a similar fate as her mother and her grandmother before her. Gloria knelt down and said to Sabrina gently, “Sabbie, Uncle Lincoln is Mommy’s friend. From now on, you’ll stay at Uncle Li

At this point in her story, the tears rolled down her cheeks in big, fat droplets. Her voice was hoarse, like an old clock that had been working for a long time.She looked at Lincoln, who lay defeated in a pile like a soft, weak mess at the side. She remained calm and asked Lincoln coldly, "Lincoln Lynn, after so many years, my daughter is now almost thirty years old. I want to know, why do you hate her so much?"Lincoln was speechless. "..."At this moment, could he say he regretted his actions?When he met Amelia back then, it was purely because she looked beautiful. She was practical and capable too, and the most important thing was that she was quiet, honest, and kept to her duties well. She knew what she could do and consequently what she could not do.On top of that, Lincoln was also a foreigner. He had a painful childhood, so at that time,he and Amelia were still very affectionate and loved each other deeply.When did they stop loving each other? It was because not long a
