Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Chapter 259 You are Not Alone

Lacey knew that begging the adoptive mother wouldn’t help, so she crawled to the adoptive father,

“Please help him, you cannot just watch him being given away.”

“Bitch!” Lacey begging the adoptive father had angered the adoptive mother, she took the baby that

hadn’t even had the umbilical cord cut to herself, it was all naked, and it still had Lacey’s blood on it,

the moment the adoptive mother took him, he cried.

It was a loud and clear voice, very bright.

Lacey crawled over and grabbed the legs of the adoptive mother, there was a trace of blood on the

ground, she hugged her legs and bowed down, until her forehead was bleeding, “Please I am begging

you don’t throw my child away, I am begging you, I can do anything you want, please...”

“You wish, do you think I didn’t know, you wanted to have this child to fight for the heritage?” The

adoptive mother kicked her away.

Lacey passed out.

When she woke up, she was lying alone in a room, the sun was bright outside, she had no idea how

long she was out, but she felt very thirsty, she had pain all over her body, and she didn’t even have the

strength to get up.

The adoptive father was controlled by his wife, she didn’t allow her to eat or to drink.

She made no sound, just laid there, she wanted to die, to die with her child.

She didn’t know if the neighbors had heard the child cry, if they asked, the adoptive mother just told

everyone that Lacey was not messing around with boys in school and got pregnant, but the child died

immediately after the birth.

But the little brother spit out the truth that the adoptive mother killed the baby, only the the people in the

village knew, but they didn’t want to make trouble, because it was Lacey who got pregnant accidentally,

so nobody felt sorry for her.

She had a fever, it lasted a day and a night, she was unconscious.

...

Her eyes were widened, which were filled with blood vessels, “I don’t dare to tell anyone, I am afraid, I

am afraid they will look at me with a weird stare, I am afraid, so afraid...”

She was horrified and rolled herself together, as if it just had all happened to her yesterday, “I am more

afraid you will know, I am afraid I disgust you, you won’t like me anymore, I am afraid you will hate the

me, I am afraid, I am afraid to death.”

As she said so, she looked towards Dolores, “I have seen that Charles cares about you, I am jealous, I

envy, I hate, hahaha, I did this on purpose, on purpose, I sent the toy as my child in front of you,

hahaha!”

Dolores’ hand suddenly clenched, Lacey’s words were like a hammer that hit her heart.

She was trembling uncontrolled.

Matthew grabbed her clenched fists.

Lacey again looked at Charles, “I hate her, she already has so much, why does she not leave you

alone, I am jealous of her, she can have you, I am jealous, she can raise her child so well, I envy her,

why is her life so good?”

Charles looked at her and said nothing.

He was feeling bad in his heart, what a person went through would really change her.

She used to be a naive girl, but now she was injured.

“After I grew up, I left my family, I thought I was free, I thought I could have a new life, I could start new,

but I was still living in a deep hot sea, they were like monsters, they didn’t leave me alone, they

blackmailed me, asked me for money, I had to hide, I didn’t dare to let you know, I had a brother who

was with me, because I was afraid, I was afraid you’d know that he existed, then you would know my

past, I didn’t want anyone to know, I didn’t want you to know.”

Lacey raised her tied hands, she wanted to touch Charles, but she didn’t dare to because she was not

good enough.

In her heart, Charles was the best, nobody was good enough for him.

She looked at Charles for a long time, “I want to forget, but I cannot, every time I had dream at night, it

was about my baby crying, it was as if the nightmare followed me, he appeared every night in my

dreams, torturing me, I am tired, I want to die, I have even thought about suicide, but I didn’t succeed, I

was saved, my life is so unfortunate, I cannot even die, sometimes I wonder if I was an executor in my

last life, that this life I have it so hard.

I have lost confidence in life, it is as if I lived a life like a zombie, until I have met you, your help has

made my dark world light up, I did my best, I wanted to live well, for you, because you have given me

hope.

In the stored, I saw you get angry for a woman the first time, I was so sad because I like you, I know

deep down that I am not worthy, I don’t dare to show you, I don’t dare to let anyone know.

I didn’t want my brother to know about you, so I closed down the store.

Just because I was afraid you will know about my past.”

Lacey smiled, her eyes squinted so she could take a good look at him, she wanted to remember his

look, “Don’t blame me, don’t blame me.”

Charles’ emotions were like waves, he looked at Lacey and couldn’t say anything, should he comfort

her?

What should he comfort her with, what words could comfort such a broken heart?

What words could make up for the pain that was caused to her?

He had a hoarse voice, “I don’t blame you, I always had hope for you.”

Lacey smiled, “Thank you, thank you for not being disgusted by me.”

She thought, if she had another life, she would not want to be human again.

“Hm.”

They heard a muffled sound and then there was blood coming from her mouth.

“She wants to commit suicide.” Boyce grabbed her chin so she couldn’t bite her tongue.

Her mouth was full with blood.

“Tom!” Charles yelled, “Quickly, bring her to the hospital!”

Tom came running, and picked her up, leaving the factory.

There was a lot of blood on the ground.

Charles took out his phone to call Tom, “No matter how much money it costs, you have to save her.”

Tom told him that he understood and hung up.

His thoughts still remained at the Lacey’s last expression of desperation and fake smile.

How desperate did a person need to be to bite her own tongue to commit suicide?

His hands were grabbing the handle unconsciously, he was shaking.

Dolores stood up from the chair, and walked to him, “You should also go to the hospital.”

Charles raised his head to look at her, “Thank you, I apologize for her to you.”

Dolores shook her head, “I am leaving anyways, I will not investigate about what happened before.

She couldn’t blame Lacey.

Nobody would like to be like that, her life had given her a really bad aftermath.

Any person was kind at first.

That could change, because of how cruel the world was.

Dolores patted on Charles’ shoulder, showing comfort.

Charles wanted to shake her hand, but when he raised his, he put it down again, “I will not send you

out.”

He needed to go to the hospital.

Dolores said there was no need.

The driver pushed him out, Dolores turned around, she had no idea when Matthew stood behind her,

she almost ran into him, her brows were frowned, “Why don’t you make any sound when walking?”

“It is not that I made no sound, but you just didn’t hear.” Matthew reached out to touch her temples,

“The pain was not caused by you.”

Dolores looked down, she knew, but she didn’t feel well in her heart.

She felt very pressured.

Boyce coughed, “Uhm, I am going to the car.”

After saying so, he left, he was clearly the fifth wheel on the wagon here.

“Let’s go.” Matthew took her into his arms, his hand was rubbing her arm, it wasn’t that he had a cold

heart, but there were always people suffering in this world at any time.

He couldn’t change that, he just wanted to protect the ones he cared about.

Except for Dolores, he treated everything else with his logic mind.

Dolores was silent, she looked out of the window the whole time, Lacey’s story had hit her in her heart,

she had a sad childhood, which had ruined her whole life.

After she got back to the apartment, she locked herself in her room.

Matthew wanted to be with her, but she wanted to be alone.

Matthew couldn’t be with her.

“Mommy, what is wrong?” Simona looked up, she hadn’t had her dinner yet, she and her brother were

hugged as soon as they entered, they didn’t say anything, were just sitting like this in front of the

window.

Dolores lowered her head to look at her daughter, she kissed her forehead, “Nothing, I just want to hug

you.”

She didn’t know why, she suddenly was afraid they might leave her, they might be kidnapped.

There were many news about children being kidnapped in the TV, they were healthy, but then injured

until they were disabled, they had to beg for money on the streets, everytime when she saw such

news, she was hurting inside, after hearing Lacey’s story, she was even more worried, she was scared

that her children might get hurt, she just hugged them and didn’t let them go.

After everything was settled, Matthew decided to stay to rest one last night, then head back to B City

the next day.

After dinner, he started planning the schedule tomorrow, at this time he was telling Armand and Boyce,

after he got back to the room, he saw that Dolores was hugging the two kids, when he left, she was

already holding them, when he got back now, she was still hugging them, nothing changed.

He walked over and took his son and daughter from her arms, “Go play.”

Samuel was a little annoyed by the hug, he wanted to be free, he took his sister’s hand, “Let’s go and

play with Armand and Boyce.”

“Don’t run around.” Dolores was worried and told them, she wanted to get up and follow them, but

Matthew held her back.

“What are you doing?” Dolores looked at him.

Matthew frowned, “What is wrong with you?”

“I am well.” She didn’t feel that she was strange.

Matthew laughed, it was a little cold, a little sarcastic.

Dolores paused, “What do you mean?”

Matthew knew what she worried about, actually, she looked strong, but she was actually very soft.

He touched her face, “You are not alone.”

In the future, he would take care of them, she was not alone, she didn’t need to be scared, she would

never be mocked, she had a husband, a family, her children were legal.

Dolores looked at him for a long time.

Matthew hugged her into his arms, and stroke her back.

The next day, they left for B City after breakfast. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

It was a cold day, the wind was howling, after they were about to leave the hotel, there was an old

woman stopping them at the hotel gate.
