Chapter 421

After a while, she softly began, "All I want is to be reunited with my son as soon as possible, leave this place, leave him... and just live our lives."

Worse, he insisted on having another child with her and even had the wild plan of sending her to a deserted island to make it happen. Facing such a grim future was just not an option for her.
