You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 242

Marie, who was seriously injured, was immediately sent to the hospital for rescue while Loraine and Jackson were taken to the police station.

Irene soon learned what had happened. Deborah and Logan had been burned to death while Marie had been stabbed and hospitalized. What awaited Marie was a lifetime of imprisonment. The murderers who had killed her mother had all met their doom, but Irene's heart was not happy at all. If she could, she would rather not seek revenge, as she only wanted her mother to be alive.

After being treated by a doctor in the hospital, Marie's condition stabilized. After a few days of recovery in the hospital, she finally gained consciousness. Soon, Marie had Lily on her mind the whole time and she wanted to know how Lily was.

Although Marie was missing Lily, Lily did not return the same feelings.

Deborah and Logan's death gave Lily a headache. After their death, Lily had nothing else left. Lily felt annoyed when faced with the two crying babies. She had always been an unsympathetic person, and she would not allow two children to drag her down. In the end, she placed them in an orphanage and left.

The cruelty of such a mother was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Fortunately, Edric had already inquired about the whereabouts of the father of the children, and told him about it. After doing the paternity test, the father took the children away from the orphanage.

Although the two children would not be able to experience a mother's love, having a father to dote on them was a blessing too.

After leaving the children in the orphanage, Lily's life did not get any better. She had initially planned to seek refuge under Marie. However, after she learned that Marie had nothing left as well, she gave up on Marie too. Marie no longer had any value to her so naturally, she would not go to visit Marie either.

Marie missed Lily a lot, but she did not expect for Lily to not be willing to visit her even once. She really did not feel good about it. After staying in the hospital for a few days, she was much stronger, so Marie tried to call Lily, but no one picked up.

Lily had no time to entertain Marie. Right then, she had no money, and it was difficult for her to do anything. Lily was only thinking about how to get money and live a superior life like she had before.

In the past, she had no desire to work hard as she only knew how to indulge, so it had naturally been impossible for her to find a job. After thinking about it, Lily decided to look for Steven. Although Steven's assets had been confiscated, Lily did not believe that Steven did have some hidden money that the officials were not able to find out about.

Steven originally needed to be monitored, but due to his health condition, he was allowed to have a pretrial release in order to treat his sickness. Lily went to visit him under the identity of his daughter.

Lily told Steven about how bad her life had become and cried. Seeing that Lily was dressed in simple clothes and she looked weak, Steven's heart softened. He did not know that Lily was deliberately lying to him to gain his sympathy.

Irene told Kinsey everything that Steven had said. Then, it was Kinsey's turn to become furious, "Your father really is shameless.
