Chapter 158 Childhood Memory

The moment she walked out of the Watson villa, Betty suddenly felt very lost.

From now on, all she had was but her mother.

She still had Kerwin.

At the thought of that, she suddenly felt all warm and strong.

After she left the Watson villa, Kerwin took

Betty in the car and let Peter drive them home.

On the way, Betty either was lost in her thoughts or kept her head low with red-rimmed eyes.
