Chapter 755 She Was Abandoned
Chapter 755 She Was Abandoned
Plus, Patrick’s relatives even added fuel to the flame, which made him feel that the real culprit for
making his life worse was Queeny.
It would be nice if she disappeared.
This thought kept running through his mind, but he didn’t dare to put it into practice.
On one occasion, he heard about a rumored trafficker for children under the age of 10 in town.
Anyone with children was alarmed when they heard the rumor.
They protected their children for fear that anything might happen.
But when the news came, Patrick’s eyes lit up and he knew the best time had come.
An idea floated into his mind quickly.
One morning, Patrick, who had always been harsh to Queeny, suddenly became kind and gentle to her.
He asked her if she would like to visit the county. He also promised to buy her some candies.
Queeny was about 8 at that time, and she was bursting with curiosity.
And she loved eating candies...
Since she came to the Dempsey family, she couldn’t remember how long she hadn’t eaten one.
So she said yes immediately, without even asking her mother for permission.
After taking her to the county, Patrick told Queeny to wait for him to buy candy.
She was smart and meek. She sat on a big rock and started to wait for him.
However, her stepfather never returned.
It was not until late in the evening she realized that she seemed to have been abandoned.
She knew he was not coming back to take her home. He expected her to die outside so that he
wouldn’t have to bear so many burdens and responsibilities for someone unrelated to him by blood.
So how could he be kind enough to actually take her to the county for candies?
Now Queeny had forgotten her mood at that time.
All she remembered was running towards home at night after she discovered the truth.
She was a little girl, but with her amazing perseverance and memory skills, she walked home alone
from the county.
She spent a whole day and night trudging home. When she stood at the door again, she found that her
mother, distraught at the news of her disappearance, was frantically looking for her.
However, Patrick was convinced that a child would never find her way home on her own and must have
been taken by human traffickers.
He thought Meredith would soon give up, too.
So the unfeeling Patrick went to bed happily.
When Queeny got home, he was still asleep.
He thought it was Meredith coming back when he heard the heavy knock at the door.
He got up impatiently to answer the door, but he was shocked as soon as he saw the child at the door.
The next, he was doused with a bucket of foul-smelling feces.
After he caught on, he screamed abuse at her and tried to catch her.
However, Queeny was well prepared, and how could she be caught so easily?
She slipped away like a tiny loach before he could touch her.
Patrick could hardly keep in his indignation and let fly with a stream of abuse.
However, it was no use crying over spilled milk.
Queeny had run away. She stood at a short distance and looked at him coldly and said, “You know,
deliberately abandoning an elderly or child is a crime of abandonment. I can sue you, and then your This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
reputation will be ruined!”
Patrick was stunned. He didn’t expect her to say that.
Rage consumed him again.
“Nonsense! A crime of abandonment? I feed you, clothe you. How ungrateful you must be to sue me!? I
see, you want some punches!”
As he spoke, he picked up a stick and tried to hit her.
Queeny gave a sneer and turned to run.
After a short chase, he was stopped by passers-by because of his stench.
They asked him to shower before he came out. Otherwise, the whole road would be stained with feces.
Patrick stamped with rage.
However, he had no other choice. Anyway, he couldn’t go against everyone’s wishes.
When he finished taking a bath and changed his clothes, he found Queeny had disappeared.
It was not until evening that Queeny returned home with Meredith, who had been out all day.
After telling off Patrick, Queeny went to look for her mother by herself.
Finally, she found Meredith. They hugged each other and cried.
She told Meredith exactly what had happened to her.
She thought Meredith would divorce him for her and take her away.
However, she did the opposite.
Although Meredith was surprised and angry at first, she eventually fell silent.
In the beginning, Queeny did not understand her mother’s decision. But it wasn’t until Meredith held her
hand and put it on the stomach during a meal in town that she got the reason.
It turned out that Meredith was pregnant.
She couldn’t give up a baby and a family for Queeny.
So she advised Queeny to put aside her hatred for Patrick.
She wanted Queeny to forgive him for her or her unborn sibling.
She said there should be no hatred between families. Even if Patrick did something wrong, she could
not give up the family for it.
Queeny was stunned.
Clever as she was, she was just a kid at the time.
She naively assumed that her mother loved her and would give up everything for her, just as what she
read from the books.
The bald fact was that it was all in her head.
Meredith was a poor, helpless woman who needed a man to survive.
She couldn’t leave with Queeny and her unborn child without any money.
A traditional woman like her did not believe that a woman could live a good life on her own without her
husband.
She believed that forgiveness and tolerance were required courses for women.
However, Queeny was reluctant to forgive him.
