Snare of Love

Chapter 258 Young Girl

“Did you guys investigate my background?” Lacey jumped up with anger, as if she was about to fight

Boyce. That was her secret and she didn’t allow anyone to know it.

Her feet were tied and the moment she jumped up she fell to the ground.

Boyce smiled. Having confirmed that it was her weakness, he continued to provoke her, “You were

pregnant and you even gave birth. However, the baby… died.”

“Shut up! You shut up!” Lacey shouted and shook her head. Boyce’s words seemed like thunder, and

fell straight on her head, separating her blood and flesh.

Sometimes she acted crazy, sometimes she laid on the ground motionless like a lifeless puppet.

On the second floor.

Charles frowned. Boyce had only said a few words briefly. However, these few words had shocked him

a lot. Lacey had been pregnant? She had given birth?

This was like a bolt from the blue for him.

Now, he finally understood what Boyce meant when he said there would be a surprise.

He grabbed the armrest and stared at her. There were some things he wanted to ask her himself.

With the help of his driver, he went downstairs.

Lacey’s head was on the ground, her hair was scattered blocking her eyes and eyebrows. Through the

gap in her hair, she seemed to see Charles rolling his wheelchair and coming towards her.

Charles?

She suddenly raised her head to look at Charles and her eyes widened. Was he here too?

Did he hear what Boyce said just now?

“Charles…”

“Tell me what happened to you? Why did you hide it from me? How come you had a child?” He

frowned. At this moment, he realized that he knew very little about her.

She wasn’t willing to tell him and he also didn’t take the initiative to investigate.

He thought, she was only treated badly by her adoptive mother and father.

He had never thought that she had been pregnant.

Lacey had received a huge shock. She shrank, trying to hide. She wanted to hide herself, not wanting

to be seen by anyone else.

“Speak!” Charles growled.

“I can’t!” Lacey’s voice was louder than his. She wanted to escape and hide, not wanting to face him or

these people.

She was in a lot of pain. She shouldn’t have been forced!

“If you don’t speak, who can help you?!” Charles’s face had a darkness that it never had before.

Lacey looked at Charles. Looking at him, she smiled and then cried.

“No one can help me. I am already dirty…” Her lips kept trembling as if she was thinking of something

fearful. Her face turned from red to bloodless pale and her eyes were filled with a dead stillness. She

stared blankly at Charles, “You are disgusted with me, right?”

Charles shook his head and said no.

Lacey knew that he was lying to her.

“Yes. I gave birth to a child. I was forced!” Lacey laughed loudly after saying that. She laughed until her

tears came out laughing, “I was… ruined a long time ago. Those days lasted for three years.”

That year, Lacey’s face still looked childlike but her lovely and innocent appearance could already be

faintly seen. At that time, her younger brother was a few years old and he liked to cry at night. Her

adoptive father used his crying noises as an excuse to not sleep besides Lacey’s adoptive mother.

One night it rained. It rained very heavily, thunder and lightning rumbled. Even the cows tethered in the

house became jittery with fright and kicked the walls irritably.

She was afraid and hid under the quilt that was thin and smelt really bad.

Suddenly, there was the sound of the door opening with a creak.

“Lacey.”

It was her adoptive father’s voice. She poked out her head from under the quilt. Usually, her adoptive

father treated her badly. In the daytime, she was required to do chores, feed the cows, mow the grass,

wash and cook and even do the work in the field. The only time she wasn’t required to work was when

she slept at night. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Her adoptive father was slightly better towards her than her adoptive mother.

However, she was still scared and very cautious, “Dad, why aren’t you sleeping? Is there any more

work to do?”

“It’s so late at night, what work would there be to do?” He sat down on the bed and said with a smile, “I

saw that it was raining with thunder and lightning. I was afraid that you must be scared, so I came to

see you.”

Lacey shook her head quickly, “I am not afraid, Dad. You can go and sleep.”

She was young and didn’t know much. Plus, she had never gone to school. She didn’t understand what

her adoptive father was going to do. But still, she was very scared.

“Your mother is not good to you. But I have taught her well, she will be better towards you in the future.”

She instinctively pushed him and kicked him away with her feet. Her resistance and lack of cooperation

angered him and he tied up her hands with rope.

She was trapped and could only shout, “Mom…”

Her shouts were drowned in the sound of thunder. Her adoptive father’s expressions were hideous and

he slapped her resolutely, “I try to give you a chance, but you are making this hard!”

Half of her face went numb and she tasted blood in her mouth.

Her adoptive father covered her mouth with his hand!

After that night, he often sneaked into her room at night. When she resisted, he would beat her up and

refused to give her food during the day.

Later, she did not dare to resist. Three years went by like this, and then she became pregnant. She

didn’t understand it at that time. She couldn’t eat enough, her belly was small, and she didn’t get her

period. At that time, she didn’t know that it was abnormal.

Until one day at noon, she suddenly had a stomachache. Her adoptive father and mother thought she

was sick. As it would have costed money to take her to the hospital, they left her in the room to fend for

herself.

At that time, her adoptive mother found out what had happened between her and her adoptive father.

The adoptive mother was extremely angry. The adoptive father had his face scratched by her. They

hadn’t even wanted to raise Lacey. She was only given food to eat because she was able to work.

They absolutely didn’t want to raise a child.

Moreover, it was the adoptive father’s illegitimate child. She was even more unwilling to raise it.

“This girl didn’t do it willingly. If this gets out, you will go to jail.” The adoptive mother used the law to

suppress him.

The adoptive father did not dare to defy her, “Then how do you think it should be handled?”

She slapped her husband hard across his face, “Now you are anxious to know?!” She was also very

angry. Her husband’s infidelity broke her heart.

She vented her anger on Lacey’s body with slaps and kicks, beating her up. When she got tired, she

rested for a bit and continued as soon as she regained her strength.

Lacey felt that she was going to die like this.

She thought that she would be relieved if she died.

Her adoptive father pulled his wife, who had lost her mind in anger, away from Lacey, “Don’t beat her. if

you kill her then we will be finished.”

Her adoptive mother’s anger extinguished gradually. Now that the things were like this, she wanted to

solve the current problem first.

She remembered that there was a well outside the yard in their house...
