Chapter 45
“Buried? Evelyn do you have to curse your daughter like that every day?” Charles‘ face was as cold as frost, and his voice as chilling as if it came from hell itself.
Evelyn’s body swayed, on the verge of collapse, as she stared at her daughter’s photo on the bedside table with eyes red from crying.
The direction her daughter was looking in was exactly where Charles stood. Since Charlie was born, no matter how coldly Charles treated her, she still deeply loved

Eager for a good night’s sleep, she reached for the melatonin on her bedside, swallowed it, and soon fell into a deep
At the Hospital, Dahlia had completed her discharge procedures and was waiting for Charles to pick her up.
The weather was nice, and she was enjoying the warm sunshine in the hospital garden.

Dahlia shuddered violently!
