Chapter 255 I Don't Have a Mom Anymore

Connor nodded and waved his hand. "Take a look. Is there anything else that needs to be fixed? Your mom loved cleanliness. If I didn't tidy up properly, she'd get upset with me."

Penelope nodded repeatedly. "It's fine."

Connor heard this and smiled, but as he smiled, tears began to fall.

She started crying hard, too.

The morgue was eerie and quiet.

Seeing no one around, Connor whispered, "Penelope, at this point, you need to think about yourself. Your mom is gone; you don't need to worry anymore. I'm a burden to you, don't worry about me."

"Dad, with Mom gone, you're my only family. How can I leave you?"

"You still have your child!"

Penelope lowered her head, looking at her abdomen.

"The next generation is the hope," Connor said, tightly holding her hand.

"The most important thing now is you and the babies."

"I can't leave you, Dad."

Connor became a bit anxious.

"I mean, you should think about yourself first. Didn't you say you had a chance to leave? Then you must go first!"

Penelope asked, "What about you?"

"I'll stay in LA."

"But..."

"It's okay; I can take care of myself. As long as you can start a new life, I'll be at ease." Penelope wanted to say more, but Connor turned his back and sighed deeply.

"I know you want to take me and your mom with you. But that's too hard, and it might just drag you down. None of us might make it out in the end," Connor said, "Right now. it's just me. I'll stav here,. visit,vour mom's_arave from time to time. keep her company, and that's how my days will pass." Penelope lowered her head. "Dad, but if I leave and Kelvin comes to question you about my whereabouts, what will you do?"
