Chapter 1922
Though the budget hotel is a bit far from the monastery, many of the guests who stay here are visitors who come to pray at the monastery. The hotel owners often pray at the monastery and are quite familiar with the monks and nuns there.
Mary was the youngest nun at the monastery, and she also chipped in with odd jobs now and then. The hotel owners were praying at the monastery on the day she was sent there. They’ve been married for years but have never been able to have a kid. Despite trying every trick in the medical book, nothing worked.
The next day, the wife was off to H City for her third IVF treatment. When she saw Mary, a healthy and adorable orphan with a heartbreaking backstory, she broached the idea of adopting Mary if this treatment didn’t work out. Her husband, not wanting to see her in pain anymore, agreed to abandon further treatments if this one didn’t work and opt for adoption.
They were not hopeful about the third IVF treatment, but miraculously it worked. The wife firmly believed that it was Mary who brought them their child. Over the years, they’ve shown a lot of affection towards Mary Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
When they heard the news of Mary’s death, they were gobsmacked. They rushed to the hospital just in time to see Mary, covered in a white sheet, being taken away by the coroner.
The wife has been crying her eyes out these past few days.
At dinner, she saw a video circulating online that made her blood boil all evening. Just then, she spotted Jeannie.
“Stop right there!” she shouted, heading towards Jeannie who was in a hurry to get upstairs.
Jeannie instinctively wanted to bolt, but two guys coming downstairs blocked her way.
The wife grabbed Jeannie’s arm and upon closer look, she was shaking with anger, “It’s you, you shameless woman!!*
Jeannie, pale as a ghost, struggled and looked around in fear.
“You knew your daughter was mentally ill and could harm others, why didn’t you watch her? You’ve taken the life of a young child and haven’t even apologized. You’ve treated her life like it was worth nothing!!” the wife accused angrily.
Images of Mary’s adorable face flashed through her mind. Overcome with emotion, she slapped Jeannie hard, “Give me back my Mary! Give me back my Mary!!”
Hearing the commotion, her husband ran out and restrained her. “What are you doing?” he asked.
“It’s her! It’s her!!” the wife pointed at Jeannie, sobbing uncontrollably, “She’s the one who killed Mary!”
The husband was stunned as he looked at Jeannie, who was completely panicked by now.
“You are not welcomed here, pack your things and get the hell out of here!” he scolded angrily.
Jeannie was taken aback, then her temper flared up.
“I’ve paid my money, you should be serving me! If you don’t, I’ll complain to the business administration!”
The husband replied coldly, “Your actions are so disgraceful that anyone would be disgusted. If you want to complain, go ahead. The worst that can happen is I’ll pay a fine or close the shop, but I still won’t serve you!”
He then signaled to one of the staff, “Get her stuff and throw it out!”
The staff member looked just as outraged. He immediately went upstairs.
A moment later, Jeannie and her luggage were all thrown out onto the street.
