Dolores stole a glance at Dolores who was standing beside the window before continuing, “We have a common enemy.”

“…”

Abbott felt it more interesting. He stooped and leaned towards Terry, “Describe it in details.”

Matthew, who was fondling Dolores’ hand like playing a toy, was still lowering his head. Nevertheless, when he heard that Terry and Dolores had a common enemy, his eyelashes slightly trembled.

Matthew was caressing the back of Dolores’ hand back and forth.

This matter was neither simple nor sophisticated. Yet it was hard to make it clear with a few sentences.

Terry pondered for a while, “Let me start from the very beginning. When I first met Ms. Flores, I was trying to get a customer for my cab. When she saw me, she acted excitedly as if she knew me, but indeed I didn’t know her…”

Terry narrated how he got to know Dolores, “My elder brother died six years ago. When he was alive, he was bribed by someone with money and deliberately knocked down a person with his truck and then disgusted it as a car accident…” He looked up at Dolores before continuing, “Ms. Flores was the victim of the accident. Luckily, she didn’t die. The cab driver died, and she was badly injured.”

Dolores slightly curled up her fingers and her palms broke into a sweat as Terry’s words made her recall her painful experience again.

At that time, some debris inserted into her caudal vertebra and they would compress her nerves if she didn’t have an operation, which would paralyzed her and therefore she would not be able to walk in the future. Nevertheless, if she was to have an operation, she had to have the anesthesia.

But she was pregnant back then and the anesthesia would affect the unborn babies.

She wanted to keep the babies, but she also didn’t want to be consigned to a wheelchair for the rest of her life.

Moreover, she could not afford to be paralyzed. Otherwise, who would take care of the children when they were born?

Who would take care of her mother when she was old?

So she couldn’t be paralyzed.

Neither could she abort the children. She was originally reluctant to give up the baby and was even more reluctant after learning that she was actually pregnant with a pair of twins.

They had been her flesh and blood at the moment she was pregnant.

As long as she was alive, she would make sure that they would be alive.

She would never give up them.

Therefore, in the end, she could only choose to have an operation without anesthesia.

When she recalled of the pain of her flesh being cut now, she would still tremble all over as if she was experiencing the sharp pain again.
