It would have been hard for anyone to have missed the tombstone in such a small yard; hence, Emma was constantly reminded not to leave Margo City.
The tombstone was not just a reminder of the Garrisons’ threat. To Emma, seeing the tombstone was like seeing Levi, so nothing made her happier than spending her time thinking about her son in front of it.
Hence, Levi felt infuriated as he gazed upon the tombstone along with his mother’s prison.
Zoey and Sylas shivered when they sensed that Levi was about to explode with rage.
As a member of royalty in South Hampton, my mother was supposed to enjoy a luxurious life! Nonetheless, she was imprisoned here by that scumbag! Seeing as such, how could I not be furious about it?
“Let’s have a look inside.”
The door was unlocked so Levi got it open easily.
Although it was dilapidated, the yard was rather tidy as the flowers only served to make it cozier.
Holding back his anger for the eyesore of a tombstone, Levi approached a room and knocked on its door, only to find that there was no response.
He entered the small room and found it to be neat and clean.
There was nothing else in the room other than a table, a bed, and a cabinet.
Levi could avow just how miserable his mother was for the past few decades, seeing the old clothes that were hanging on the drying rack. The clothes were so old that the colors had faded from them.
While Levi was seething, tears rolled down Zoey’s face when she caught sight of such a scene.
The next moment, the three noticed a photo frame on the bedside. They were shocked by the photo that was kept inside it.
It displayed the image of a good-looking couple who were holding a child together; the pair looked like a match that was made in heaven.
Levi had heard from Michael that Emma was the most beautiful woman in South Hampton when she was younger.
Levi’s eyes blazed with hatred as his eyes fell on the man in the photo. This is the irresponsible man who should be held accountable for my mother’s imprisonment. He is the reason that I grew up an orphan!
Levi was surprised to find that his mother had kept the photo because it meant that she still missed the man. She has no idea that he has married someone else, having children with another woman.
“I’ll make him pay!”
The photo evoked nothing but hatred in Levi; nonetheless, he wasn’t aware that Emma had begged and kowtowed to have had the photo taken.
Emma wanted a memento of the man, so he agreed and requested that she should never share the photo with anyone else. Otherwise, his identity would be exposed.
