Don't Try to Escape, My Wife!

"What do you want?"

Lillian was so frightened that she retreated in a hurry. But her hasty movement slammed herself on the wall and she howled in pain.

Nicole felt so sorry, saying, "I just wanted to see you clearly. There's no signal here, but the torch of my cell phone still can work. "

Hearing that, Lillian whispered, "Please, don't. I'm afraid I would scare you."

"Don't worry about that. You said you were Petty's mother. I have to confirm it, right? Otherwise, how could I tell you how Petty is going?"

Lillian said nothing when hearing Nicole's words.

Nicole took out her phone quickly and turned on the torch of it. However, she almost let out a scream when seeing Lillian clearly.

Lillian no longer looked like a normal person.

She had gone way too skinny because of malnutrition. Most importantly, her face was dented.

"How come your face..."

"Elvis said that I looked too seductive, so he spoiled my appearance for the sake of everyone."

Lillian was saying it with a faint smile, but her smile seemed scary to Nicole.

Lillian's face was ruined by sulfuric acid. Except for the facial features like her nose, eyes and mouth, almost each inch of her face looked terrible.

Nicole felt so sorry for her.

"I heard from Petty that she would make a video call to you every once in a while. She hasn't known what happened to your face, has she?"

"It's been a long time since I got a video call from Betty. And we haven't been in touch for long. Elvis is irritable and he has lost his temper frequently these days. What he could do was vent his anger on me and forbid me to meet Petty. I used to think Petty might have been killed by him. No one would actually hurt their own children, but he would. He doesn’t like Petty, who was given birth by me. He abandoned Betty two days after her birth. Later, I finally got to know where she was, and I thought he would bring her back as how he took Una and me away from the orphanage like a prince long before, but I was wrong. He was as vicious as a demon, not to mention a prince. Maybe he would only be nice to Una."

tears were welling up

took me four days and nights to bring her to this world. And she was so weak that I thought she might not be able to survive. When she was crying for food, I couldn't breastfeed her. I begged Elvis to feed her, but he took her away from me. I thought he would treat her own daughter well, though he had never had feelings for me. But I was totally wrong. He asked someone to send Petty to an orphanage that very night. My poor kid, she was sent to the orphanage starving. And I had never breastfed her. Now she is in her twenties, but I can only see her through a video call. She went blind for some reason
