Old Master Shaw stood there awkwardly with incomparable humility, and looked at Gloria, who was carrying a big plate of ravioli. “Gloria, Gloria…”Gloria was speechless. At this moment, she even thought of throwing the ravioli on the plate at him!She did her best to restrain her emotions. Then, she asked coldly, “How did you get in here?”Old Master Shaw wiped off a handful of sweat on his head, and said honestly, “I… I--I have been outside for a long time. The house was filled with laughter, and I was particularly enchanted by it when I heard it.“I did not plan to disturb all of you in the beginning. I was just watching while sitting in the car. I didn’t want to disturb you. I was afraid that you would be angry, I…actually had already driven off far away…”“Then why did you come back again?” asked Gloria. Old Master Shaw was speechless. He did not dare to say another word anymore after his daughter snapped at him. “Say it! Why did you come back again?” Gloria roared.
Old Master Shaw said, “Gloria… Gloria, I… I have not been able to enjoy the joy of having a family for so many years. I…”“Get lost!” Gloria suddenly roared in a rage.Old Master Shaw smiled extremely awkwardly but did not say anything. At his time, Marcus came out from inside with a long face. Once he saw Old Master Shaw, he said in a grumbling tone, “Grandpa, you have been tailing me all the way here, haven’t you?”His grandpa was unaware of this place, much less would he know that his aunt was staying there. Old Master Shaw also admitted straightforwardly. “Yes, I… I have been tailing you.”“Marcus, ever since you had gotten your aunt back, there weren’t many days that you spent at home. You also don’t talk much when you’re taking care of me at the hospital. Also, your parents feel deeply guilty because of this matter regarding your aunt, so they have been sighing with sorrow all day.“Our Shaw family has had no joy and laughter at all, much less such a child like Aino runn
Sebastian immediately nodded. “Alright.”Gloria pulled Sebastian and Sabrina to one side, and said very earnestly, “Sabrina and Sebastian, Aino is already almost six years old. It’s time for you two to have a second child, and then have a third child after that.”Sebastian and Sabrina were both speechless.Sabrina instantly blushed. “Mom! What are you talking about?”Gloria said, “What is there that I can’t tell my own daughter? I did not plan to reunite with all of you because I’m afraid I might be a burden to you and affect your life. However, both of you are very good and you’ve treated me very well. So, I was just thinking I could help take care of you children as I’m not too old now.“I had not given Sabrina a good life in my lifetime, and I couldn’t be of any help to her. I sent Sabrina over to her biological father’s place because I originally wanted to let Sabrina have a bright future and so that she could attend college. However, I caused her life to be more miserable tha
“Sabrina, what’s wrong? Do you still have something on your mind? Or did you not enjoy yourself enough at your mom’s yesterday?” Ruth asked Sabrina during lunch. Yvonne, who had just taken a bite of her food, said immediately, “Sabrina, is it because Old Master Shaw made you unhappy?”Sabrina shook her head and said, “Jane… I wonder how Jane is now. I had been a pregnant woman who was on the run before. I know how difficult those kinds of days are. However, at that time, I had Zayn to take care of me, but what about Jane?”Because she had once experienced such fate, Sabrina could think in Jane’s shoes and was worried for her.Her two best friends also remained silent and did not say anything. It was Sabrina who first smiled and said, “Forget it. It’s useless, no matter how much we worry about Jane. We have to take good care of ourselves first. When Jane needs our help someday, I believe she will give me a call.”Yvonne and Ruth said at the same time, “I feel it’s very unlikely
‘He must be here to capture me.’Jane lowered her head and said with a low and calm tone, “Noah, that’s him.”Noah was speechless. Two days ago, Jane, Noah, and his mother originally had already left the city in an illegal cab. However, after they had driven for a few hundred kilometers, the driver of the illegal cab had answered a call.It was the driver’s brother-in-law who called. “What are you doing? You should be in the city, right? I heard that a young man who called the shots is here from Kidon City. His last name is Poole, something Poole. He is incredibly powerful, and he is searching the whole city right now. Nobody is allowed in or out of the city. My sister is about to give birth, so you can’t do long-distance trips nowadays anymore.”That driver immediately stopped the car and refunded all their money to Noah and Jane. “I’m sorry, well… This money, I’m not going to earn this money anymore. I have to rush back. Otherwise, I will not be able to enter the city anymore,
Noah said, “Let’s not talk about anymore. Let’s hurry up and see if we can get to the next county before night falls.”“Noah, listen to me,” Jane, who was on Noah’s back, said gently, “Listen to me, Noah. Let’s hide in the mountains. The deeper the mountains, the better.”Noah immediately shook his head. “No, Jane, that won’t do. You are in need of nutrition now, so how can we hide in the mountains?”Jane laughed. “Previously in South City, didn’t we also live in the mountains? The air in the mountains is good, and there are wild fruits and wild chickens. During the day, you can wander around and hunt nearby. We can survive.”Noah was speechless. While walking and talking, the two of them had already arrived in front of Noah’s mother, who also agreed with Jane’s proposal. With that, the three of them hid in the mountains once again. However, the mountains in the north were different from the ones in the south. The climate was warmer in the south, so there were many wild fruit
Thinking of this, Jane suddenly smiled miserably.She felt that her fate was similar to Sabrina’s.Six years ago, Sabrina had escaped from South City. Jane heard from Sabrina that she rolled down from a hill and almost got herself killed back then. At that time, Sabrina was also pregnant. How hard that kind of feeling must have been.In the past, Jane had only felt that Sabrina was unyielding, and was neither humble nor arrogant.Now, after Jane had personally experienced this feeling and this kind of life, it made her feel that just being unyielding was not enough. She also needed to have an extremely strong mind to endure all sorts of hardships. Only then could she pave the way to survival for herself.Back then, Sabrina was escaping all the way because many people in South City wanted to kill her. Besides, Sebastian actually did not hunt her down. However, what about her own situation now?Jane could not wrap her head around it.When she came out of Alex’s summer house,
Jane snuggled up in Noah’s arms and said while crying, “Alright, Noah. How fated we are. Your name, Noah, means ‘to rest’, and my name, Jane, carries the meaning that ‘God is gracious’. This is how fated we are. We are not leaving here anymore. We will just hide and rest here. God will be gracious to us. In case we have successfully dodged this, then we’ll be victorious!”As she said that, the three of them then went into the cave again.Inside the narrow cave, the three of them nestled against each other and spent another night. Jane had not eaten for two days.She was so hungry that her lips had cracked and a layer of skin had come off. She was also feeling very light-headed. Noah’s mother was lying motionless on the pile of grass with her eyes shut. Noah was afraid that something bad might happen to his mother, so he would call out from time to time, “Mom…”His mother would then say firmly, “I’m fine. I just don’t want to waste any energy.”Noah did not know what to feel ab
