Love's Tangled Web by Donna Taylor

Chapter 257

The first time Ellie went to the south gate to find him was after the doctor said her father’s leg might need to be amputated or it could cost him his life.

That same day, her father was discharged from the hospital and sent home. That evening, she overheard her parents talking about how much money was needed for the hospital stay.

The next morning, instead of going to school, Ellie skipped and went straight to the south gate to wait for him, staying there until nightfall.

When she returned home that day, Ellie was severely beaten by her mother.

The second time she went to the south gate to find him, it was pouring rain.

Her father’s leg had become seriously infected and he needed to be hospitalized.

Ellie saw her mother, in a rare moment of desperation, go to a neighbor to ask for money, only to be turned down in a few harsh words. Her mother then locked herself in the house, crying for a long time.

That night, Ellie waited until her parents were asleep and snuck out.

She waited at the south gate for two whole days, nearly collapsing from hunger, until a former colleague of her father’s found her and took her back home.

When she regained consciousness, Ellie was beaten again, this time with Aaron also receiving a beating for trying to protect
