The only skill she had was playing the piano, but she could only play and was not yet good enough to teach.
She could not even support herself, but still had to keep an eye out for the Shaw family and avoid them a s they continued their search for her.
At that moment, Gloria did not think that the Shaw family was looking for her. Instead, she thought, even i f they found her, they were also going to put her to death.
Gloria was at her wits' end and she was very desperate. If she had another way, she would not send her daughter to Lincoln. She thought that, as Sabrina's biological father, no matter what, he would not be too cruel with her, would he?
As long as the child could receive an education, could attend university and, in the future, could establish herself in this city, then she could escape a similar fate as her mother and her grandmother before her.
Gloria knelt down and said to Sabrina gently, "Sabbie, Uncle Lincoln is Mommy’s friend. From now on, you'll stay at Uncle Lincoln's house, and Mommy will send you your living expenses every month. Uncle Lincoln will make sure you get the best education and will pay for you to attend university, but you'll have to stay in Uncle Lincoln's house, okay?"
Sabrina cried as she asked her mother, "Mommy, you don't want me anymore?"
Gloria hugged her daughter and sobbed so hard that she could hardly speak. "Mommy loves you, Mommy loves you the most. I would even give you my life, but I can't drag you down with me. I'll work hard to earn money and give you all the money that I make and provide you with the best life, okay?"
Sabrina shook her head and said as she cried, "No, Mommy, no! I don't want to stay with Uncle Lincoln! I want to stay with you."
Gloria was furious. "Stop crying! Don't be stubborn! You have to listen to Uncle Lincoln in the future!”
When she was berating her daughter, Gloria felt as if a knife was stabbing at her heart.
She wanted to stay with her daughter, but she did not even have a roof over her head. Alone, she could sleep under a bridge, or in the sewers, but she could not bring her daughter to live with her in the underground sewers, could she?
