Chapter 274
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 274<\/p>\n
Without a thought, I rush towards the child.<\/p>\n
The worker at the caf\u00e9 sees that I am running inwards and holds onto me, \u201cMiss, what are you doing? The exit is the other side.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cRelease me, there is a child over there!\u201d I say anxiously.<\/p>\n
When I see that the child is crying all alone, my heart hurts like it is being cut by a knife.<\/p>\n
I really don\u2019t understand how Whitney can be so ruthless to abandon her child and run. Isn\u2019t a mother\u2019s love suppose to be selfless? Why don\u2019t I see this in Whitney?<\/p>\n
The worker hesitates and looks at me and then at the crying child but eventually runs outside. In the face of life and death, the human instinct is far too fragile.<\/p>\n
I am also scared of death but I cannot possibly leave the child inside.<\/p>\n
Earthquakes are rare in Virginia and I do not know the intensity of this earthquake. But no matter what, I must save this child. Being a mother who lost a child, I must not let anything happen to this child!<\/p>\n
I take a deep breath and run in that direction. Just as I reach the pram, I notice the ceiling lamps crashing down. The child is in danger! I dash over to the pram and lean over the pram while the lamp crashes onto my shoulders.<\/p>\n
Ouch! It hurt so much that I can\u2019t raise my shoulders. It\u2019s too dangerous here and we must leave immediately. I endure the pain in my shoulders and carry the child into my arms and sprint out of there.<\/p>\n
It is fortunate that the earthquake isn\u2019t that severe and there isn\u2019t any further danger. The tremors stop as soon as I run outside.<\/p>\n
Whitney cowers in Lawrence\u2019s embrace and has not recovered from the shock. Suddenly she realizes that something is amiss and pushes Lawrence away and says angrily to him, \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you carry the child out?\u201d<\/p>\n
In the end, I cannot tolerate it any further and say to Whitney, \u201cYou abandoned the baby and ran out during the earthquake. If it wasn\u2019t for me, the baby would still be inside!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo what? Isn\u2019t the baby fine? How severe can the earthquake be in Virginia? I suspect that you wanted to steal my baby in the commotion!\u201d Whitney scoffs.<\/p>\n
What! Are you kidding me?<\/p>\n
Whitney really knows how to twist things around to accuse her of wrongdoing.<\/p>\n
My tolerance for this woman is at its breaking point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-298","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/298","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
