Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 236

Chapter 236 Mom, Would You Choose Me?

Colette watched the two individuals on the big screen. It seemed that, in order to cater to their thoughts, the person deliberately provided a high–definition image, zoomed in.

Therefore, they could clearly see the current state of the hostage.

The magnificent diamonds on Helena’s body reflected a dazzling halo in the sunlight.

The blindfold was already soaked with her tears. The tears running down her face ruined the makeup that Helena had spent a long time applying this morning.

But at this moment, Helena couldn’t afford to think about whether she was embarrassed or not. She just wanted to survive. Just to live well.

Contrasting with Helena, Peyton presented a stark contrast.

Peyton’s eyes were covered so that her emotions were not visible. Throughout, she did not ask for help. She didn’t even utter a single word.

Someone speculated that Peyton had already fainted.

Some people also saw her with beads of sweat all over her head.

Strangely, it was sweat, not tears.

Peyton did not wear makeup, yet her complexion was sickly pale, with even her lips appearing abnormally white.

“Wasn’t this ex–wife too calm? It was a matter of life and death, why

“Wasn’t she afraid of death?”

“Calling for help was a glimmer of hope, but she remained silent. Perhaps she had already anticipated that she would be the one abandoned. No matter how hard she fought, the outcome would be the same. Why should she waste her time on such meaningless things?”

Opinions were divided among everyone. Many people felt sorry for this former wife who had never shown her face.

Under the speculation of everyone, Peyton, who had remained silent, slowly said, “Mom, I’m also curious, between me and Helena, who would you choose?”

This time, Peyton didn’t call Colette Mrs. Chase, but instead uttered the long–lost name.

If it were in any other situation, Colette would have been very happy, but unfortunately it was at this moment.

Peyton quietly said, “I don’t blame you for being distant from me when I was a child, nor do I blame you for suddenly leaving that year, because Dad said you weren’t happy with him. You didn’t leave, you went to pursue your own happiness.

You severed ties with my father, and it has been many years since you left. I was once pushed down into the mud and called a motherless wild seed. None of this matters. I don’t blame you, but I just want to know one thing.

“Do you really have the heart to let go of the mother–daughter bond between us?”

Peyton smiled gently and said, “I’m not afraid of death, but I want to understand if I have a place in my mother’s heart after waiting for over

ten years. Even if… just this once.”

All eyes were suddenly on Colette. Helena was still desperately shouting, “Mom, you said you would protect me. You said even though we’re not related by blood, you would treat me like your own daughter.”

Peyton didn’t care about life or death. Since her stomach condition had worsened, she didn’t know how much longer she could live.

Peyton just wanted to wait for Colette, whom she had been waiting for over ten years, before she died.

Peyton was like a child abandoned in the snow. She had endured the wind and frost, barely surviving through the rain and snow, with only a last breath remaining.

Peyton held her breath and didn’t disperse it, only because she was waiting. She was waiting for her mother to pick her up. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Peyton wanted to tell those bad kids that she was not an unwanted

bastard.

She also had a mother. Her mother was the most gentle and loving mother in the world.

“Mom, you would choose me, right?” Her voice even carried a hint of imperceptible sob.
