Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 131

He didn't want me to see his ravaged look due to drugs, so I asked him.

"It doesn't matter, Leo. Get better soon!

Zoe wishes to be with his dad."

The paramedical staff attended to his injuries as the ambulance wasn't there yet, while Melody was immediately cuffed by the police officers. Henry thanked them.

"You did an impressive job, officers!"

However, Bright spotted some disturbance in the car trunk, he reacted quickly.

"I think something is moving in the trunk, Laura." And pressed the button to open it. We were all taken aback to see Zoe hiding in it.

That little kid sensed danger and hid inside our car when we weren't watching. His daring flabbergasted us.

But he disregarded everyone's concern and ran towards Melody.

"Mom!"

A piping red-hot iron rod plunged into my heart, burning my soul as the yearning in Zoe's voice skinned me alive. He called Melody ‘mom' with so much love that I wished for a dark void to swallow me as a whole.

Zoe was my son, I fought for him in court to spend the rest of my life with him, but still, he had a soft corner for Melody. Deep down, she was his mother, the one he always looked up to. I was never in their family picture.

My eyes burned with tears as I couldn't help but cry over my misery. This was worse than enduring inhumane torture at the forest that day.

But this wasn't an end to my agony!

My emotions turned jagged, tightening my insides to see visible pain in Zoe's eyes, Melody brutally pushed him away.

"Don't call me mom. I am not your mother!"

Zoe shouted dolefully, hitching my heart to my throat.

"If you aren't my mom, then who is?

A part of my soul was torn off by my son's excruciating heartache, it was impossible for me to stay away from him now. So, I turned to sit in the car to follow the ambulance, but Melody's sincere tone resounded in my ears.

"You are lucky to have a brother like Henry, Laura. He loves you!"

First Leo, now Henry. Why couldn't she keep her hands away from my family?

Her jealousy for my brother forced me to abandon my kid as she robbed me off my husband in the past. I couldn't let her snatch Henry as well.

So, I raised my brow and replied to her,

"Indeed, Melody!

Only a lucky girl can have Henry in her life."

She chuckled dryly and glanced around, her voice was laced with envy.

"This is a beautiful spot, Laura. I must say your choice is top-notch."
