Chapter 118
Jodie asked in shock, “When did this happen? Who’s the person who secretly sent the letter? Did that
person mention anything else?”
Shaking her head, Margaret replied, “No.”
“Seriously, that person should just tell us everything clearly. Why leave us hanging and make us guess?”
Jodie complained.
Just then, the waiter served the dishes, and the famished Margaret immediately dug in. However, she
was still thinking about the contents of the letter.
I’ve never believed that Dad was the cause of the plane crash. Back then, I was still young and dumb, so
I went along with what the others said. As time went by, I believed their words and never thought about
uncovering the truth myself. I also didn’t know where to start. Now, this case has resurfaced. I want to

side as a sinner! I don’t want to live in guilt forever!
Noticing that Margaret was wolfing down the food, Jodie declared, “Meg, how can you still eat at this
time? This matter is regarding your father! If the contents of the letter are true, that means we can
investigate and find out the truth about that case. In my opinion, Christopher is treating you this way
because he thinks your father killed his parents. After all, that case caused an uproar in the city back
then. He probably resents you deeply. If we manage to overturn the case, then you don’t owe him .
anything anymore. Although he raised you, he also tortured you for all these years! You two are even!”
Suddenly, Margaret remembered she was pregnant, and she froze. We’re even? Even if we reveal the
truth about the case and we’re even, what about the baby in my stomach? What should I do about my
baby?
Jodie also remembered Margaret’s pregnancy, and she fell silent. After a long pause, she asked, “Do you
love Christopher? Does he love you? Are you planning to spend your whole life with him? If you haven’t
thought about these questions, you shouldn’t decide what to do with the baby just yet. I’m not trying to be
cruel, but I feel it’s crueler to have the baby if your answer to my above questions are both no.”
As Margaret’s mind was a mess, she had no reply to Jodie’s questions. At that moment, she wanted to
focus on uncovering the truth of the case first. “Let’s not think about those things yet. I have to
investigate my dad’s case first. I will take a closer look at this letter later tonight after I get off work, and
I’ll try to find the sender this weekend. Maybe everything will become clear then.”
Jodie nodded. “Sure. Let’s find out what happened during that plane crash and not think about anything
else for now. You’re pregnant, and the address is not from this city, so it’s unsafe for you to go alone. I’ll
go with you.”
After finishing lunch, Margaret went back to work, but she could not concentrate.. Her mind was filled

who sent me the letter? Why does he know what happened back then?
Soon, it was time to get off work, and Margaret returned home, engrossed in her thoughts. Christopher
was not home yet, and he might not be coming back today, but she suddenly had the urge to see him. If I
really discover that the plane crash has nothing to do with my father, then there’s no basis for hatred
between us anymore. What will happen afterward? Will he let me go?
“Elizabeth, did Christopher mention if he’s coming home today?” she asked.
S
“He didn’t. But since he didn’t call to say he’s not coming back for dinner, I believe he’s coming home.
What’s wrong, Meg? Do you need something from him?” As Margaret rarely asked about Christopher,
Elizabeth was confused.
“No, I’m just asking.” Margaret then grabbed her pajamas and went to the bathroom. After getting
pregnant, she was stricter with the length of her shower, as the poor ventilation in the bathroom was not
good for the baby’s health.
