Chapter 166

It had gotten even colder, and Letitia couldn’t stop shivering.

“Such a delicate flower, aren’t you? Just a few hours without heating, you seem to be on death’s door,” Shela dragged her out of the basement and dumped her on the ground floor, “Did you overhear my chat with Elgin? He’s on his way.”

At the mention of that name, Letitia slowly opened her eyes.

“Yes, Elgin is coming.” She clenched her teeth, “He will save me.”

“He can’t save you!” Shela bellowed, “You’re in my grasp now, and I won’t let you slip away. I’m taking you down with me! Understand? Don’t get your hopes up.”

But Letitia insisted, “He will save me.”

The more Shela thought about it, the angrier she got, and she let loose a slap across Letitia’s face, “That’s for being so stubborn! That’ll teach you!”

“Yes, he loves me,” Letitia responded, “He told me himself, more than once,”

Shela burst into laughter, “Yeah, right. That night, it was you who saved him, not me. He’s searching for you, the baby you’re carrying is his… too bad, huh? What did you end up with? Absolutely nothing!”

The child was always a sore spot for Letitia.
