Chapter 245 Are You So Shameless As to Ask (2/2)

”Let you go? Then what about me?” he asked. A bitter smile graced Jack's sullen face. The heartache he endured was no less than a hurricane. ”You only have Jacob in your heart, don't you? He won't be coming back anytime soon, so you should stop waiting for him...” he said, vaguely.

”What do you mean by this?” she asked. Emily keenly grasped the important message in the words. A spider of fear skittered along her spine.

Jack, suddenly, realized that he had said too much. Wild, mad-eyed, he whipped his head around looking for an excuse.

”Tell me! What on earth did you mean by th

you... Why, mom?” asked Emily.

”Why? How dare you ask me why?” yelled Debby. Suddenly, Emily's mother went berserk. Her lethal stare felt painful and piercing, as if her glare was tearing Emily's heart apart with a blinding teal light. ”Do you know what you have done to my dear Tina? Have you no shame? How dare you still call me mom?” said Debby.

”Mom... I didn't...” Emily mumbled. In truth, Emily had never caused Tina any harm. Tina's downfall was her own fault. It was Tina who tried to do Emily harm, but why couldn't anyone see that? Why did everyone put the blame on Emily?

What did the world have against Emily?

”Shut up! Never call me mom again!” Debby screamed. Debby's eyes flashed with resentment and anger, much like lightning on a pitch black night. ”I wish I never had a daughter like you! Look at what you've done. Are you even human?” asked Debby.

”Never call me mom again”, that was the last straw for Emily. A burning animosity was developing in her amber orbs, but the pain in her heart almost choked the life out of her. She had never felt so lonely and abandoned in her life. The harshness of reality, deprived her of the ability to deceive herself.

Words seemed to have lost its weight and meaning now.

”Okay, that's it,” she said to her parents. Emily slammed the door, and returned to her own room with a sad expression. Her parents were outside cursing at her. Their indistinct voices pierced her heart like a thousand needles.

Emily's facial expression was cadaver-like, not just sagged but lacking its usual liveliness completely, as if she had left her spirit somewhere else.

Emily's mother, did not want her.
