Chapter 881
The Woman From Hell
I could roughly guess who this girl who was sent away in Celineâs story was.
I pulled over on the side of the road and looked at her, saying, "Sheâs very lucky.â
It was a great change of fortune for a redundant child t o be adopted and live a life of abundance.
Celine sighed. "Very lucky, indeed."
I pursed my lips. "Youâre talking about Elena, right?â
After a pause, I continued, "Logically speaking, she should feel glad to have been given away by
your parents. Even though she doesn't feel affection for you, she shouldnât be this resentful.â
"Just keep listening to me and you'll know why."
Celine let out a slightly bitter smile. "Not long after sending Elena away, my newborn brother caught
a high fever and passed away. My mother wanted to keep trying, but it was a girl again. This girl
wasnât as lucky as Elena because my parents left her on the side of the road. No one knows who
picked her up or what sort of life she's living now.â
How cruel!
This was my first time hearing that there were such
cruel parents in the world. How could they throw their flesh and blood away without a single
hesitation, treating her like nothing but an object?
My body trembled slightly. "That's too much!â
Celine chuckled bitterly. "No one in this world can do evil things without having to bear the
consequences and pay the price. Later, my parents finally gave birth t o a boy, but after the birth of
the child, my mother's health failed whereas my father hooked up with a widow in the same village.
My mother caused a scene after learning about it and fainted. She woke up to a fate of being
bedridden her whole life."
Every cause brought about a consequence. No one could escape after doing bad things.
Celine looked out the car window, saying in a slightly trembling voice, "A year ago, my brother
started suffering from leukemia. After all those years of raising so many children, my family had
been living i n straitened circumstances with practically zero savings. In order to gather money for
the operation, w e had no choice but to borrow it from our relatives. But now that we have the
money for the operation, we donât have a suitable bone marrow transplant candidate. My mother is
always sick and my father is always drinking despite his deteriorating health. My eldest and second
sister have long lost contact with the family. When I finally managed to contact them, they hung up
the phone immediately after hearing that I was looking to find someone to donate my brother their
bone marrow. The calls never got
through again after that. I was pregnant at the time, so I could not donate my bone marrow."
I could roughly guess what had happened next. They had probably run out of options and went to
Elena. Something terrible must have happened.
I patted the back of her hand to calm her down. "And then what?"
Celine cast her gaze down. "My father contacted Elenaâs adoptive parents, but they doted on Elena
and refused to agree. My father failed after several attempts and took extreme measures by
standing in front of their company every single day, threatening to kill himself. But they still refused.
One day, my father, i n his drunken stupor, suddenly rushed out in front of their car. In order to
evade my father, Elena's adoptive parents crashed into another car and they both... died on the
spot."
My pupils narrowed slightly, doubting if my ears had failed me.
I did not see this coming at all. After a long pause, I said, "If that's the case, I can understand why
she hates you guys."
