Chapter 34 I Want to Keep the Child

Lewis picked up his coat and glanced at Sierra. “Anything else?”

Sierra pouted, looking at him with a hint of frustration. “Can’t you stay?”

“No,” he answered firmly and added, “not tonight.”

Sierra gritted her teeth in annoyance. Knowing that he would not change his mind, she released her grip on Lewis with a huff.

“Forget it; go ahead and leave.”

She had stayed up late to keep him company because she thought that he wouldn’t leave at this hour.

Who knew that she was just deluding herself?

Sierra realized that Lewis had the ability to make her experience a rollercoaster of emotions in the span of a few seconds.

For a moment, she would feel that he cared about her, and in the next second, her hopes would be dashed.

If Sierra didn’t have a sound state of mind, she would have been driven crazy by his volatile behavior!

Lewis left without even looking back. It was as if the gentle, meticulous man who had tended to her wounds was just an illusion.

At the community clinic, Josephine was propped up on a bed, her lips blue from the cold.

Beside her, there were two police officers and the security guard from last night.

“I heard the sound of breaking glass while I was patrolling last night, that’s when I found her. After bringing her here, I called the police. That’s everything that happened,” the security guard explained.

He had almost left the park last night. At her wit’s end, Josephine found a stone on the ground and threw it at a window nearby. The security guard heard the noise and found her lying on the ground.

The person whose window was broken also showed up. It was an old woman who was demanding compensation from Josephine.

The police placed Josephine’s suitcase at the end of the bed and asked, “Is this your suitcase?”
