Chapter 268: Chapter 268 Preparations

Emma’s POV

I pushed the box under the bed and stood up. I took a few steps back to make sure that it wasn’t visible. I couldn’t let anyone know what I was leaving inside the room.

“Mom?” I heard Alex calling me and I turned around.

My heart raced. Did he see anything?

He entered the room and looked around. He took a deep breath and released it slowly.

“Yes, honey?” I asked, trying to hide my nervousness.

“Did you put enough food in here?” Alex asked as he approached the cupboards. “We need to make sure that she has everything she needs.”

My heart clenched and I nodded even though Alex couldn’t see me.

“I did, honey,” I said. “Don’t worry. She has everything she needs.”

She wouldn’t be needing it for long, though. She would be out of the room tonight.

‘I am still not convinced, Emma,’ Eliza sighed. ‘Maybe we should tell someone. Maybe we should tell Anna.’

‘No, Eliza,’ I said sternly. ‘We are not telling anyone. I am doing this and no one is going to stop me. I am not letting my daughter suffer again. I am not letting anyone suffer again because of me.’

‘But...,’ Eliza spoke and I interrupted her.

‘No, Eliza,’ I said sternly. ‘You won’t stop me. No one will stop me. I am doing this.’

I watched as Alex approached the bed and sat down. He grabbed the blanket that was on the bed and sighed.

“Maybe we should get her another one,” he mumbled. “I don’t want her to get cold.”
