Don't Try to Escape, My Wife!

Chapter 1663 How Dare I Expect Her To Forgive Me

"Dad, I'm going in to see my daughter."

Mrs. Shaffer couldn't wait to see Cara now.

It had been over twenty years and she didn't know how she was doing now.

Mrs. Shaffer barely waited for Chad Shaffer to speak before she headed towards the room off to the

side, with Luna following behind her.

Morty came out and saw that Chad Shaffer seemed to have aged a lot overnight. He waved away the

people around him and personally poured a cup of hot water for Chad Shaffer and handed it over.

Chad Shaffer was slightly dazed. When he realized that the person in front of him was Morty, he quickly

took the cup and thanked him.

He was really a bit puzzled. To speak of power, the Hill family was incredibly powerful, but Morty had

never gone astray. How could it be that his sons had become social tumors and national scum?

He had followed Mr. Hill around the world, and he had seen how Mr. Hill had educated Morty. How did

his sons get to this point?

Chad Shaffer could not understand, and looked at the cup in his hand for a long time without speaking.

Morty sighed and said, "Uncle Shaffer, don't worry. We won't implicate the innocent. You permitted this,

didn't you?"

Chad Shaffer laughed bitterly and didn't say anything.

What should he say?

Even if he obstructed it, and even if he didn't allow it, what could he do? There was no way to hide

what those bastards had done. As the Green Family's case was resolved, little by little, it would all

unravel.

Who would have thought that Cara would have met Nicole?

It was probably fate.

Seeing Chad Shaffer had acquiesced, Morty felt quite bad.

Ever since he was a child, he had actually been familiar with Chad Shaffer. This old man had really

been serving his country and his countrymen, but he didn't expect that he would ruin his life's

reputation in his old age because of his children.

He stepped forward and hugged Chad Shaffer, then said softly, "You still have me and Mr. Hill, and

Cara."

Chad Shaffer's nose twitched and he instantly burst into tears.

was crying like a child at this moment.

Morty felt sad either.

It was sad to see a hero die in his twilight years and without descendants.

Mrs. Shaffer did not know or care about how Chad Shaffer was feeling right now. She couldn't wait to

get to Cara's room but became cautious again.

There lay her daughter she had always missed, but now she was feeling a bit timid.

Luna held Mrs. Shaffer's hand tightly and whispered, "Miss, don't be too nervous."

"I... I'm not nervous. I'm not nervous."

Although Mrs. Shaffer said so, her body trembled and beads of sweat seeped from her forehead.

With Luna's help, Mrs. Shaffer pushed open the door to her room and saw Cara lying in bed with a

respirator over her face.

Almost as soon as she looked at her, Mrs. Shaffer burst into tears.

"Cara ..."

She bit her lower lip and held back her tears as she walked slowly towards Cara.

Although she didn't know what Cara had been through, the way she was bruised and battered still

stung Mrs. Shaffer's eyes.

Barely able to stand, she stumbled and sat down in front of Cara's bed.

Cara's hands were cold. If she hadn't felt a little warmth, she would have almost thought she was dead.

Cara looked a bit like Cody Shaffer. Even without saying so, one could see that the two of them were

related. But how could Cody Shaffer do this to his own daughter?

Mrs. Shaffer never stopped crying when she saw the bruises all over Cara's body. But she was afraid of

disturbing Cara, so she bit her lower lip and held back. Her shoulders trembled and tears kept trickling

down her cheeks.

Tears also welled up in Luna's eyes.

"Miss, I remember when I sent Miss Cara out, she was just a little toddler. But now she's grown into a

big girl."

Luna's voice trembled a little as she spoke.

Joy had grown up in the Shaffer family, and although she was disliked by Cody Shaffer, she hadn't

suffered much, and even more so, she lived a rich life. Cara, on the other hand, had been sent away

from birth. Not to mention how she was getting along on the outside, and now she had been hurt like

this by Cody Shaffer, which was simply too heartbreaking.

Mrs. Shaffer just cried. She had too many words to say to Cara, but was speechless and choked up

now.

What was she going to say?

Was she going to say that she had sent her away to save her back then?

Was she going to say how cruel she had been, how she had ignored her for more than twenty years

and cared nothing for her?

Was she going to say how she had no choice and how much of a bastard Cody Shaffer was? But

would all this be useful?

If that would be useful, her daughter would not be in this state now.

She placed her daughter's hand on her cheek.

It was the first time in over twenty years that she had been so close to her daughter and yet so far

away.

She knew that Blair would save Cara and she knew that Cara's life would be smooth from now on. And

that was enough.

All she wanted was for Cara to have a peaceful life.

Mrs. Shaffer touched her hand and felt Cara's faint heartbeat. Her hot tears dripped down onto the

back of Cara's hand.

Cara's heart stirred slightly as if she felt something. Her strong desire to live kept her absorbing the

oxygen from the ventilator, but she couldn't open her eyes because she was so weak.

Luna looked at Mrs. Shaffer's sad face and couldn't help but say, "Miss, you shouldn't worry too much.

When Miss Cara is well, you two will have plenty of time to talk."

"There's no time, Luna. I don't have time."

This was Mrs. Shaffer's last, and only, chance to see Cara. After she got out of here, she would turn

herself in, take all the blame she deserved, and protect herself as a tainted witness against Cody

Shaffer.

She would personally send Cody Shaffer inside the prison.

Luna, however, did not understand and asked, "How come there is no time? Doctor Hawk is highly

skilled in medicine and will definitely save Miss Cara. When the time comes, you can tell Miss Cara that

you had no choice but to send her away for her own good, so that she can live. Miss Cara will forgive

you when she knows it."

"Forgive? How dare I hope for her forgiveness? I am a mother! But I was incapable of protecting my

own child, abandoning her, ignoring her for over twenty years, and finally letting her be tortured like this

by her own father. How dare I ask her to forgive me? This would be fine. Don't let her know that she

had a useless mother like me, and don't let her know that she is a member of the Shaffer family. Let it

all end with the destruction of the Shaffer family. Later, she will find a man she loves, get married and

have children, and just live an ordinary life, and live in harmony and health all her lifetime."

Mrs. Shaffer said her simplest wish without seeing Cara's eyes move at all, as if she wanted to wake

up.
