How Selfish Can People Be?
Mara closed her eyes and said firmly, "You guys go! I really didn't harm Clara back then. Even if Clara comes back to life now, I'm not afraid."
Susie asked, "Really?"
Mara was resolute and determined, "Really!"
Susie exclaimed, "Wow, is that so?"
Mara waved her hand and chuckled at Susie's silly expression.
Suddenly, a faint voice sounded, "Is that so..."
Mara didn't react at first and said, "I said it's true, so it's true!"
She was about to ask if she had treated Clara badly before...
Then she heard the familiar voice faintly say, "You treated me quite well..."
Mara was stunned and quickly turned around!
She saw a woman in white clothes with long hair, floating behind her.
Her face was pale, and she stared at Mara with a fixed gaze.
Whose face was it if not Clara's?!
"Ahhhh - a ghost, a ghost!" Mara was so scared that she stood up, and her knee hit the table hard. She fell to the ground!
The prison guard was startled and shouted sternly, "Stay still!"
They couldn't see Clara or Susie's small spells, only Mara could see the ghost.
"She... she! Su... Su..." Mara was so flustered that she couldn't speak clearly.
Clara slowly raised her hand and floated towards Mara. "Sister-in-law, I died so miserably... I died from cancer. Did you know..."
Mitch's mouth twitched.
It was Clara's first time appearing and frightening people.
It was so much fun. Her hair was neat and tidy just a moment ago, but now it was all messy and covering her eyes.
The dress that was originally a light blue floral dress suddenly turned into a long white dress with a flick of her mind.
She even tiptoed and walked with her big toe, taking one step at a time towards Mara.
Mara's eyes rolled back, and she fainted from fear!
The prison guard, very ungentle, slapped Mara's face with the palm of his hand and frowned, "Mara, wake up, stop pretending to be crazy and foolish!"
This woman had reportedly pretended to be mentally ill once during her arrest.
Now she was doing it again?
One guard thought she didn't seem to be faking it, but was dizzy in a strange way.
He felt that her acting was superb. In these years, prisoners would do anything to get out, such as pretending to be sick or swallowing toothbrushes, razor blades, or nails. They had seen it all.
The guard then shook a small bottle in front of Mara's nose.
Poor Mara had finally passed out, but was awakened again.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Clara lying beside her, face to face, and those eyeballs moved slightly.
"Hey... hey hey... Second sister-in-law, you're awake!"
Mara screamed and backed away repeatedly, "You, you, you, you, don't come near me! Go away, go away!"
The guard said expressionlessly, "Ten minutes left! Hurry up!"
As soon as Clara heard this, she continued to use her tricks.
"Second sister-in-law, we had no grievances or enmity in the past. Why did you treat me like this?"
"Why did you treat me like this? Why did you send me away when I was not in my right mind?"
"Wuwuwu, do you know how much pain I was in before I died? Look, my heart is so painful that it's twisted into a knot... and this liver is so painful that it's hardened, and this intestine... is twisted into a knot too!"
As Clara spoke, she took out her own heart, liver, and intestines...
Mara almost fainted again, but unfortunately, the smell from the earlier incident was still lingering in her brain, and she couldn't faint at all.
"Don't come near me..." Watching this visually shocking scene, she was about to collapse!
Suddenly, Clara grinned and said fiercely, "Fine! If you don't talk, I won't rest in peace! Even in death, I will drag you down with me!"
"Come on! Let's die together!"
Clara screamed and lunged at Mara.
Mara was so frightened that she blurted out, "I'll talk, I'll talk, I'll talk!"
She cried, her voice trembling, "When I was pregnant with Lucy, I had done a genetic test beforehand... I knew it was a girl..."
A Murray family girl was very valuable!
The Murray family consists of boys only. If there were to be a girl, she would become the beloved of all... not just a favorite princess, but also because the Murray family has no luck with daughters.
Mr. Zachariah told me that a family must have a balance of Yin and Yang ...
"When a family has only boys, there must be a girl. And if there is only one girl at this time, she will definitely be a great blessing..."
The premise of a "great blessing" is that there can only be one precious bloodline in the family...
In other words, Clara must die before Lucy is born.
That's why she wanted to send Clara away- Clara was in the late stages of terminal illness and needed careful care, even the air had to be sterile.
She thought that if she left Clara outside on the street, she would surely die.
What did she do wrong?
She just wanted to give her daughter the best of everything!
Mara cried and said, "Anyway, you won't live long! And Lucy is about to be born..."
"I thought you would die soon, but who knew you would hold on to day after day... I can't wait any longer!"
"Clara, don't blame your second sister-in-law, okay? Lucy is also your niece! If Lucy is good, the whole Murray family is good, and I'm also thinking about the Murray family! Don't you want your brothers to be good?"
Clara was stunned.
She really didn't expect that Mara would want to get rid of her for such a ridiculous reason!
Susie was shocked and the question that troubled her was finally resolved. But she couldn't feel happy at all.
Can people really be so selfish for their own desires?
As Mara said these things, Martin's eyes were even colder and his whole body seemed to be frozen.
Good... very good!
Mara knew that she couldn't take back what she had said, and she wouldn't have it easy in jail.
She could only awkwardly change the subject and cry, "Forget it, it's all my fault. Martin, I... as a mother, I just want to give the best to my child... I was wrong, okay?! I just want to know if Lucy is okay now?"
When it came to Lucy, Mara's eyes became even redder, and tears formed into a bead that fell with a splash.
"I don't care about anything... really! But I really miss Lucy. Martin, can you please let me see Lucy once?"
As long as she could see Lucy, she would teach her to cry and say she wanted to see her mother next time. Then Lucy wouldn't forget about her mother.
She had nothing now, and when she was released from prison, she would be sixty or seventy years old and unable to do anything. She could only rely on Lucy.
So she had to seize Lucy now...
