President's Substitute Wife novel Chapter 367

At that moment, I did not hesitate to hold Margaret!

She was shocked and struggling. She scratched me desperately and scratched my clothes and body with her sharp nails.

I could feel her scratching the back of my neck, but I didn’t want to let go.

I hugged Margaret and whispered in her ear, “don’t be afraid. We will not hurt you, and I will protect you. No one will hurt you in the future. Don’t be afraid...”

I spoke in Margaret’s ear and told her not to be afraid.

After a while, she finally calmed down.

Then she reached out and hugged me.

I could feel her arms still shaking. She plucked up the courage to hold me.

I hugged her and said, “it’s all over. No one will hurt you again. I will protect you.”

At this moment, I realized that I was alive because Margaret fought for her children just like me.

The difference was that I lost but she won.

“OK.” Margaret held me and nodded desperately.

I whispered in her ear, “thank you.”

I knew that she couldn’t accept that I was her daughter now, but I believed everything would be better.

In the near future, I could definitely call her Mom.

After I soothed her, I helped Margaret to the sofa and sat her down and said, “I’ll keep making clothes for them later.”

“OK.” Margaret nodded.

She was obedient as a child.

I spent a day in the hospital. Margaret went to bed early in the evening. She fell asleep and Murray asked me, “how are you and Ming doing?”

“We’re fine.” I replied unnaturally.

Murray said seriously, “don’t I know you? You are not as close to him as you used to be. What happened?”

Murray was usually casual, but he knew a lot of things.

I sat there and packed the dolls’ clothes. I lowered my head and thought and said, “it’s OK.”

“Do you think I don’t watch the news? I know Sean and Cindy are divorced. You two...”

“No.”

I immediately denied it.

I was guilty.

Murray went to his desk and looked at the picture he had painted during the day. “Sean and Ming are arrogant, but all powerful people are. They think they can get anything, but they forget that people are not objects. It’s price that controls objects, but it’s feeling that controls people. Feelings are priceless.”

I looked at Murray and didn’t speak.

Murray put it away and went on, “your weakness is that you are too kind. You don’t want to hurt anyone but in the end you hurt yourself, or you hurt everyone, including yourself.”

I was stunned by Murray’s words. I muttered, “I hurt everyone...”

Was that so?

"But you are not to blame. Ming looks gentle, but he is stubborn. He has to get what he wants. " Murray looked at me. "Ming and Sean are at odds, but sometimes you can play a key role."

At this time, the door of the ward opened. Ming came in and saw us. He said hello politely to Murray and then asked me, “do you want to go home?”
