Then, she sized Flossie up and down, and after a moment, her gaze fell on Helen Wright’s abdomen.
With a sudden thud, Helen Wright instantly tensed up, hurriedly stepped forward, and pleaded almost beggarly, "Sis, I beg of you, please don’t tell Dad."
Calling her ’Sis’ with particular warmth.
Flossie Wright didn’t find it objectionable, even somewhat understanding her.
In the past, she was a bit sly, able to handle a lot of things well and do a great job; but when it came down to it, she still had Merry Otiz and Benjamin Murphy backing her up.
Now, she had nothing left.
The mother who protected her was gone, and the man who loved her was gone too.
Having lost both family affection and love in quick succession, she became desperate and subconsciously sought out a source of support.
Friends wouldn’t do, her brother wouldn’t do, and her father even less so, which is why she turned to Flossie Wright.
"You won’t tell him about such a matter?" With arms crossed over her chest, Flossie Wright looked down at her, her face betraying little surprise.
"He..." Helen Wright opened and closed her mouth, stopping and starting, but after giving it some thought, she continued, "You are not unaware of the family’s troubles, Dad is too overwhelmed with work, and, given Dad’s temperament, if he found out, he would definitely..."
Gradually, Helen Wright’s voice grew fainter.
She didn’t dare to articulate her suspicions.
Oftentimes, one fears that speaking the thoughts aloud might jinx them, making them come true.
Regan Wright’s conservative views meant that upon learning his daughter was pregnant out of wedlock, if not going as far as to throw Helen Wright out of the house, he would certainly give her the cold shoulder.
"Benjamin Murphy’s?"
After some thought, Flossie Wright came up with that name.
Looking up in surprise, Helen Wright quickly realized the question and nodded emphatically.
Her heart was solely set on Benjamin Murphy; besides him, it couldn’t possibly be anyone else’s.
"Does he know?" Flossie Wright asked indifferently.
"He doesn’t." Helen Wright shook her head, "It’s only been two months, I discovered it just a few days ago. I was planning to surprise him, but then... Mom, she..."
As she spoke, the tears Helen Wright had just managed to stop, suddenly fell once more.
She could have spoken up earlier but had decided to wait a couple more days to coincide with Benjamin Murphy’s birthday. She hadn’t anticipated the abrupt news of Merry Otiz, unable to bear the prison, resorting to suicide.
Ever since Merry Otiz was imprisoned, she noticed that the Murphy Family’s treatment towards her cooled down, but Benjamin Murphy kept comforting her, deceiving her, wanting her to spend her last half-year of university in peace.
Nobody knew how thrilled she was when she discovered she was pregnant a couple of days ago; nor did they know how hard it was for her to resist the urge to tell Benjamin Murphy.
Little did she expect—
That just a two-day delay would lead to the Murphy Family’s merciless calling off of the engagement!
Thinking of this, Helen Wright couldn’t suppress her sorrow, her heart wrenching painfully.
Why did fate treat her this way?
Since childhood, over ten years, she never received fatherly love. And although her return to the Wright Family allowed Regan Wright to be a father, albeit a remorseful one, he was not easy to get along with.
Being a child born out of wedlock, she endured discrimination and criticism; teachers and classmates at school all looked down on her, yet she managed to erase such prejudices little by little through her own efforts.
Who could understand the pain she had been through from a young age?
And yet, just when she thought she had found happiness and completeness, everything vanished like smoke in an instant.
All gone...
Her mother, her lover, the beautiful family she had—vanished.
In the blink of an eye.
"So," pausing briefly, Flossie Wright raised her eyebrows, asking directly, "why did you come to me?"
