When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Chapter 1001

I had almost forgotten about Ann. For a fleeting moment, I looked at Amy, didn’t know how to answerher. After a moment’s silence, I said, “Amy, maybe Ann didn’t come to the city. She’s married.”

“No. Ann said she wouldn’t marry that idiot. So, she will definitely make an effort to escape. Ms. Stovall,will you help me to replace Ann?”

Amy sounded very insistent on replaceing Ann. It seemed like she was sure that the latter would escapefrom her husband.

Unwilling to strike Amy with the truths, I nodded in response and replied, “Of course. I will get someoneto look for her. And, I will bring her here if I replace her.”

Amy nodded when she heard my words. “Yay! I don’t need to worry that Ann will get lost when shecomes to the city anymore,” said Amy as though she had gotten a load off her mind.

She was so sensible that it made me feel sorry for her. Holding her in my arms, I said, “Amy, we haveto go to your hometown to visit your parents. Can you go with me?”

At that, she looked at me with her eyes wide opened and queried, “Ms. Stovall, are you trying to sendme back? Am I not good enough?”

I shook my head. “No. You are not registered as a citizen yet. So, I want to bring you back and ask yourparents to help in this matter. After you’ve registered as a citizen, you can have the surgery legally.”

Upon hearing that, Amy nodded with a clueless face. The way she looked at me told me that shecouldn’t understand much of what I had said. At that, I smiled at her while thinking about Hailey.

The next day.

I had told Cameron that I wanted to drive myself to Amy’s house, which was located in the countryside,beforehand, and she was worried after knowing that. In the morning, just as I stepped out of my house,I saw Boris standing beside the car in the yard.

He was an old man, but his appearance was well-maintained, so he looked middle-aged. When he sawme, he flashed me a faint smile and said, “Mr. Moore was worried about you. He wanted me to bringyou there.”

I shrugged. “I should have known this.”

Without giving more thought to it, I got into his car with Amy. When he realized I brought many clothesand shoes, he frowned and queried, “Will we be gone long?”

I shook my head. “No. These are the clothes that Ashton bought for me every season. I rarely wearthem. When the season changes, he will ask his men to send them to the recycling centres. So, I amthinking of giving them to Amy’s mother so that the clothes won’t go to waste.”

Then, he started up the car and said, “You’re so attentive, but that woman doesn’t deserve it.”

Upon hearing that, I frowned slightly and asked with a tone of disapproval, “Do you think that she is byno means a good person because she is cruel to her daughter?”

He nodded as he took a peek at Amy and replied, “She treats her children so badly. She is not fit to bea mother.”

Sighing slightly, I said, “When I was a kid, I lived in an alley in R Province with my Grandma. In thealley, there was a family of four. The man of the house was very hardworking. At that time, people in RProvince relied on farming to make a living. Every day, the man left early for work and returned homelate. Maybe because he had overstrained himself and his body became weak, one day, he fainted at

the lake that supplied water for farming. That lake was not very deep, but he drowned. After his death,his wife left with their son, leaving their daughter at R Province. Back then, I didn’t understand why thatwoman did this. The little girl was more thoughtful than the little boy, but why didn’t that woman bringthe former along? After that, the little girl lived with her grandmother. Her grandmother was a harshperson. She always beat and scolded the girl and starve her. I had seen her crying under the bridge afew times. My Grandma always asked me to bring her some food. But, that was not a good ideabecause sometimes, she would still have nothing to eat.

“One day, she borrowed some money from me. I gave her all the money that I had, just the two coins. Ithought she wanted to buy something that she really wanted. But, never would I have expected thatshe had bought pesticide with it. She brought the pesticide to her father’s grave, drank it, and lay infront of the grave. I remember that she said this to me back then, ‘Some people are born without achoice. Everyone wants to show their best side to others, but to some people, life itself is a struggle.They can’t even make the effort to put on a show.’“

Hearing that, Boris remained silent. However, after we got on the highway, he suddenly spoke up, “Yourparents didn’t stay by your side these years. Did you hate or blame them before?”

I was shocked when I heard his question because I was under the impression that he wasn’t a personwho liked to ask about people’s internal affairs.

Then, I smiled faintly and replied, “It’s impossible that I don’t hate them at all. But more than the hatredis gratitude. I’m grateful that I was raised by Grandma, and I’m glad that I can marry Ashton. Althoughour lives are not the best, I am willing to strive hard to live. For these reasons, I should thank them forgiving birth to me. Humans are no saints. I think they abandoned me for a reason. Maybe they facedsome difficulties back then. So, I don’t blame them anymore.”
