The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 357 The Truth about That Year

"Don't worry. I won't tell anyone if it's a secret."

Joey looked grim when she saw how serious Sarah was, and she had a vague intuition that what Sarah

was about to say may have a lot to do with why she hadn't left John all these years.

"I've paid too much for this over the years to keep it secret. I don't need it anymore, because John

won't let me keep it secret if I want to, and I'm already tired."

Sarah gave a wry smile of helpless, then she added, "Joey, do you remember Cindy?"

Joey was a little shocked, but she nodded, "Of course I do. When I first came back, didn't you say that

she died in childbirth? Why did you suddenly mention her?"

Sarah shook her head and took a deep breath. As if with determination, she said, "Actually... That's not

the truth, the truth is..."

When Sarah told Joey the truth, Joey was completely shocked and stared at Sarah, unable to say a

word for a while.

Looking at Joey's expression, Sarah closed her eyes painfully, "Joey, you must be disappointed. Do

you think I... am horrible?"

Joey shook her head, realizing that her reaction had hurt Sarah, "I'm not disappointed, and I don't think

you are horrible. After all, Eliza's death was an accident, and you didn't want to. Don't blame yourself

on this."

"Joey..."

Sarah held her face in her hands, and Joey's understanding made her feel more and more ashamed.

Tears of remorse flew from her fingertips, and Sarah threw herself into Joey's arms, crying in pain.

Four years ago —— before Joey had been abroad. Cindy, under the escort of Marco, went from the

countryside to the city. At that time, Cindy was pregnant. John arranged Sarah and Cindy to live under

the same roof. By then, for the sake of Patrick, Sarah swallowed all the humiliation, but Cindy gave

Sarah a hard time and nitpicked Sarah.

Cindy not only occupied by Sarah's bedroom, she even provoked Sarah, and treated Sarah as her

maid. If Cindy was displeased, she would distort the facts and report to John. As Cindy was pregnant,

John stood with Cindy. In the end, John asked Sarah not to go to work and stayed at home to take care

of Eliza.

And then, Cindy was able to bully Sarah even more openly. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

From then on, Sarah lived a hard life under the control of Cindy. She also had to forbear Cindy's

occasional teasing and bullying, but she put up with it for her brother's sake.

Cindy, on the other hand, got more and more pushy and possessive about everything Sarah had. She

took away John, Sarah's clothes, accessories, and makeup, so much so that Sarah wanted to slap her

to death.

One month before the birth date, Cindy was even more vicious. She always pretended that she was

about to give birth, but when Sarah prepared all the things and took her to the hospital, she pointed to

Sarah laughing, as if fooling Sarah around was the most interesting thing in the world.

But when Cindy played this game more, Sarah didn't pay attention to her tricks. And when Cindy really

was about to give birth, the one who suffered from her lie was herself.

Tragedy finally happened one day.

That morning, Cindy, accompanied by John, went to the hospital for a pre-natal check-up, but she

never allowed Sarah to come along if John was around. Sarah was so happy to take a break from her

work that she made herself a glass of aloe juice to give her a facial mask.

She had been tormented by Cindy those days and her skin darkened a lot due to the lack of sleep.

Sarah had always been very concerned about her appearance.

However, Cindy was back earlier. Sarah just prepared for the aloe juice, and Cindy walked in, fuming

that John flirted with an innocent nurse at the hospital, and left her in the driver's seat. She was so

angry, but she didn't dare to get angry with John, so she vented her anger on Sarah.

Seeing Sarah was in the preparation of aloe juice, Cindy went over.

Cindy was born in a deep village and did not know aloe juice was used for cosmetic application, but

she thought it was used to drink. Maybe because of the pregnancy, Cindy felt that the aloe juice tasted

good, so she took a few more sips, and finally she finished the whole bottle...

Before long, she began to scream in her room with stomachache.
