Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 2242

The Payne family were not the only ones who were shocked. The onlookers who had gathered around were also shocked. Why were there so many people coming over one after another? It was very clear that this was set up. The Payne family, however, clearly was already set up by others, yet they still acted in such an arrogant and domineering manner. Even if they died, they really would not even have known how they died.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Elsa came in front of Lucius. She had a thin face, and she looked very calm. She was so calm as if she had nothing to do with this world at all, but not, at the same time.

Elsa's face had that kind of calmness from being disillusioned with the world, or perhaps she was a person who had once lost all hope. Of course, that was exactly the case!

After she had given birth to her son back then when she was twenty years old, the only loved ones she had were her son and her grandmother. Her grandmother passed away, and her son was taken away and sold off by the person from the next bed in her ward. If it were not for the fact that she wanted to search for her son back then, she may have already died a long time ago. She failed to find her son for decades, so gradually, Elsa lost all hope. Later on, she became a nun. She was still suffering and was still extremely disappointed.

Otherwise, she would not have lasted until the day she met her biological son again.

She had met her son again. However, Elsa still vividly remembered the decades of suffering and disappointments. She was tricked by the person she loved, but at least she was able to be by her son's side in this life. Therefore, she did not live in this world for nothing. However, her son was bought by the Payne family. If the Payne family had called the police back then, things certainly would have been different. Nevermind that they had bought her son, but the Payne family still did not cherish him. They kept abusing him and pushing him till he was a hair's breadth away from death. As his biological mother, how terrible would she feel about that? She was terribly heartbroken!

If! If the Payne family had loved her son as i f he was their biological son, Elsa absolutely would not be so heartless.

However, she was the one who had given birth to her son. Not only was she unable to protect him and give him the love from a mother that he served, but she also let her son go through all the hardships in the world. How could Elsa not be resentful!

"It's you? It's you. You...are y-you really Vireo's biological mother?" Chloe already recognized that this old lady was the woman she had seen in Vireo's house that day.

At that time, this woman proclaimed that she was Vireo’s biological mother, but the Payne sisters did not believe her. If they had believed her, and if the Payne family had left South City as soon as possible back then, perhaps the situation at that moment would not have happened. They regretted it so much! However, there were n o do-overs in this world. Being regretful was no help to their case at all.

Elsa looked at the Payne sisters coldly. "Do you think that the Payne family are the only ones with a clear mind in this world, and you guys are the only ones who are not criminals? Do you think that you guys are the only ones who have reasoning wherever you go?"

Chloe was speechless.

Elsa did not want to waste her effort talking to Chloe anymore. She just looked a t Lucius and his wife with a resentful gaze. "Do you know how it felt to be a mother who had just given birth to her child after being a hair's breadth away from death, yet her newborn baby, whom she had not even had the time to take a glance of, was stolen and sold off? Your children were by your side. You can never ever imagine that kind of hellish feeling that a mother who had lost her child felt."

At that moment, Vireo’s adoptive mother, who had lost all hope, finally said, "Vireo’s mother, I...we...we know that we are wrong.

I'm begging you. Seeing that we had helped you raise your son, please spare us this time. You also know that Vireo is indeed alive. We did not abuse anybody to death. We're begging you to please be true to the facts, could you? We can understand your pain of losing your child. We really can understand it. Back then, when we had just brought the child home, he cried all day and all night. I also did not sleep all day and all night as I kept him accompanied.’’
