Want You in My Life novel Chapter 123

With a flop, Jonny knelt on the ground. One was his daughter-in-law, and the other was his wife. How could he choose? He raised his head and begged sadly, "Dad, please punish me. Let go of Alline and Christa. I won't complain even if you flog me to death today! "

However, Christa suddenly laughed weirdly. Her sobbing sounded creepy, "I'm right. I have not done anything wrong. It's not me. Why don't you trust me? "

Tears fell down from Jonny's eyes. He pulled Christa and murmured, "Christa, I believe you! I believe you! "

Ethan remained calm, but a trace of sadness and coldness appeared in his eyes. "Jonny, if you had said so in the past, Christa wouldn't have become like this. It's too late for you to say anything now. She must die today! "

"No, Dad. Please forgive Christa. It's not her fault! "Jonny begged, with his face pale with fright.

All of a sudden, Ethan lifted his leg and kicked on his chest. Caught off guard, Jonny was kicked to the ground. He coughed slightly but his eyes still stared at Ethan. Ethan said, "Unfilial son, how can you interfere in my determination? "

"Dad, why are you so hardhearted? Why can you kill Christa just for your own good? What's wrong with her? Dad, don't you think you've made a mistake in dealing with her in the past? "Jonny took a deep breath and said stiffly.

"Shut up! "Ethan shouted and suddenly stepped hard on his chest. Jonny was so painful that cold sweat burst out from his forehead, but he still stubbornly stared back at Ethan. Ethan said, "You stupid thing, I'll beat you to death today! "

Noticing the murderous look in Ethan's eyes, Alline didn't know what had happened in the past. She just felt that the Mo family was in a mess today. She knew that Jonny and Myron didn't have a good relationship with each other, but Myron had always been good to her, even better than Jonny. However, after all, Jonny was her father-in-law, Hiram's father, and Christa had been locked here for nearly ten years. She was delirious. Now that she finally came out, she couldn't die here today!

And all these were caused by her. Although she knew it was a trap, she still broke into the Forbidden Garden. She was inconsiderate. It was all her fault. She shouldn't have broken the taboo made by Ethan. She had long known that the Forbidden Garden was a place that no one could go in, but she broke into it. She broke the rule.

If she hadn't come in, Christa could still be in the Forbidden Garden, even if she was unconscious, but she was still alive. But because of her coming in, everything couldn't be restored to its original condition. Judging from the quarrel between Jonny and Myron, Alline knew they had hated each other much so that they could say such words, and she knew Ethan was heartbroken, facing the discord and betrayal of his sons.

Alline's legs were numb and she was trembling all over. Her trousers were thin today. Now that she had knelt for a long time, she had already been painful. She endured it hard, bit her lips and apologized, "Grandpa Ethan, I don't know what Mommy had done in the past, but what happened today is all because of me. You can punish me alone. Let dad and mom go, please! "

When she said this, her nose ached, but she didn't dare to cry. She could only endure it and said word by word, "and Angela, it's just a cat, knowing nothing! Please spare it! "

Ethan looked up at her and then moved his leg away. He looked at Jonny, who was in a mess on the ground, turned around and took a deep breath. Then he said, "Well, since you have admitted your fault, I will spare your life today, but there are punishments for you. You reflect on yourself tonight in the ancestral hall, and I will punish you tomorrow! "

Ethan didn't punish Alline for now but his words were obvious that he was going to deal with the Christa. Ethan asked someone to hold back Jonny, and then asked others to pull Christa on the chair and flog her. But instead of crying, Christa laughed, which was strange. Alline felt cold from the bottom of her heart. Blood slid down from Christa's mouth. As a man, Jonny was pressed on the ground. He could only called her name word by word.

But Ethan's heart was as cold and hard as ice which had been frozen for a thousand years. He turned his back to them and no one knew what he was thinking.

At the sight of this, Alline couldn't help but rush over and hugged Christa. Christa was so skinny. Alline was lying there. Alline heard her groan, but Christa didn't cry. Instead, she smiled all the time. Her voice was vague. She said word by word, "My child... "

With a loud sound, Alline was beaten. She groaned in pain, but did not avoid it. She tightly protected Christa. She was afraid that she would cry out, so she bit her wrist, in order to tightly block her own voice.

The executioner was a little hesitant to see this scene. "Mrs. Mo, what are you doing? "

Hearing the noise, Ethan turned around and his eyes turned cold. "Alline, are you forcing me to punish you? "

Alline was so painful that she trembled all over but she said, "No, Grandpa Ethan, I am not. But I'm responsible for what happened today. I can't let mom take the responsibility for me! "

Ethan gritted his teeth, looked at Christa, and then looked at Jonny, with a touch of sadness in his eyes. If he let go of Christa today, Myron would not stop. In the past, he had tried his best to protect Christa. The Mo family seemed to be peaceful for so many years, but in fact, there were hidden undercurrents. If he let go of her now, he would not know what would happen in the future.

Now the kids had grown up. If what had happened in the past was revealed, there would be a big storm in the family!

In the past few years, Hiram had been giving in to Chester because of Emma, and Kevin had been cynical about everything in the past few years. Chester seemed to be gentle and indifferent, but in fact, he was stubborn. Once he was determined to do something, he would never give up. If he knew that his mother's death was caused by Christa, Ethan could not be able to protect Christa nor could the Gu family. Therefore, Ethan had always kept this secret in his mind. No one knew it, even his wife, Denise.

But he had been shouldering it for a long time. He was old, and he was not as decisive as he was when he was young. Now he was afraid of losing, and he was afraid that the family would be broken up and destroyed by him. Therefore, there was something in his life that he must lose. He couldn't make the best of both worlds. He had protected Christa for ten years, but now he couldn't protect her anymore.

As for the purpose of the person who led Alline into the garden, he knew clearly. But no matter how clearly he knew, he couldn't protect her, nor could he continue to protect Christa. So he bit his lips and snapped, "Keep beating! "

Hearing this, the servant continued to beat. Ethan clenched his fists tightly. His face was indifferent and sometimes dark. He had taken the interests of the whole into consideration. But now who could see that?

Jonny didn't understand him. Myron was suspicious of him. The family was on the verge of collapse. These years, he had always thought that he could maintain the peace of the family, but he didn't expect that now he couldn't.

If he didn't give an explanation to Myron today, the Mo family would definitely stir up trouble again!

Alline let out a muffled groan every time when being beaten. And Christa was whining beside her. But Alline could not hear her voice, and the pain spread in her body. Her lips had been bitten, but she did not dare to scream. After a long time, she could no longer raise her eyelids.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa Ethan. It's my fault... "She murmured. The sight in front of her was blurred. She couldn't see the anger on Ethan's face, nor could she hear Jonny's cry, or Christa's faint and sad voice.

She couldn't hear Christa calling her.

The night in the Forbidden Garden was so cold that she trembled all over. Her body was stung, but what hurt more was her belly. It was so cold, the same as that night five years ago. She finally couldn't help but groan. Her stomach hurt a lot, but she didn't know how to beg for mercy because this was what she deserved.

After all, she had offended the rule, and she should be punished. Although she didn't want to cry, tears rustled down the corners of her eyes.

'Hiram, I miss you so much. Why aren't you here?' Her vision was blurred, as if she could see nothing. Her body became colder and colder, and then she fainted uncontrollably and fell to the ground.
