"Luna, you said you'd heard from my daughter, didn't you? Where is she? How is she doing? How are her parents treating her now? Is she married? What does her husband do?"
Mrs. Shaffer rambled on and on, as if her bruises didn't hurt so much anymore.
Luna looked at her, feeling particularly sad, but decided to tell her the truth anyway.
"No, the young miss is not married and she has not been adopted. She just grew up in an orphanage, but she met Mrs. Green."
Luna told Mrs. Shaffer everything she knew, and when she got to the things Cody Shaffer had done to Cara, Mrs. Shaffer was shocked.
She sat on the floor, looking a little agitated.
"Cody Shaffer found her?"
"Yes."
"He knew who she was?"
"Yes."
"He kept her at the training ground and trying to get her to participate in the mutation program?"
"Yes."
Luna felt her heart ache more with each answer, as Mrs. Shaffer almost couldn't sit still with trembling.
"That bastard! He actually still hurt my daughter! So where is my daughter now? Where is she?"
"She was sent to Mr. Morty by Mrs. Green's father, Xander. Doctor Hawk is said to be curing her."
Mrs. Shaffer was relieved to hear this news.
"Fortunately. She should survive."
Tears suddenly fell on Mrs. Shaffer's eyes and beads of tears trickled down to the floor.
It was all because she was useless!
She couldn’t even protect her child!
Mrs. Shaffer blamed herself, and Luna was not feeling well either. The two of them cried silently for a while before Mrs. Shaffer suddenly said, "I want to see her, and even if I have to see her in secret."
Luna couldn't help but feel a little in a dilemma.
"Miss, you know, Cody Shaffer has been sending people to keep an eye on you. If you go to Mr. Morty's place, no matter what you say or don't say, Cody Shaffer will kill you. You've made it through all these years, and you're old now..."
"It's because I'm old that I can't watch my daughter get hurt by him again. Luna, how many of our people are left?"
Mrs. Shaffer's gaze changed.
In the past, she had endured humiliation and was just a punching bag in front of Cody Shaffer, and moreover, a weak and easily bullied person. But she had been a daughter of a large family before she married Cody Shaffer, after all, and had people of her own.
All these years, she held back for the sake of her child. Now that she had Cara's whereabouts, she wouldn't have given up in any case.
Seeing Mrs. Shaffer like this, Luna instantly understood what she meant.
She took a deep breath and said, "It's not much, but it shouldn't be a problem if they protect you to meet Cara."
"Thank you."
Mrs. Shaffer looked at Luna and thanked her profusely.
What else could Luna say?
She got up and walked out.
Mrs. Shaffer stood up. She was aching all over, but she was a little excited.
She was about to meet her daughter. She didn't know how she looked now, and whether she was well or not.
Wouldn't she be particularly disappointed to know that she had such an incompetent mother?
Mrs. Shaffer looked at her bruised face in the mirror, and for the first time, she took out her make-up and began to dress herself.
Even if she had to die, she didn't care anymore. She had to see Cara today.
No one could stop her!
Mrs. Shaffer arrived at the Hill family in Chad Shaffer's car.
Chad Shaffer was standing at the door and waiting for them.
The night was misty. Although Chad Shaffer was old, his stance was still upright and made people feel safe. On the contrary, Cody Shaffer did not look like the offspring of a hero in any way.
"Dad!"
Mrs. Shaffer was about to get out of the car but was stopped by Chad Shaffer.
"Take me with you. I'm going to see my granddaughter."
Mrs. Shaffer was at a loss for words but saw that Chad Shaffer had already gotten into the car, and Luna was driven to the car behind. The driver in the car was Chad Shaffer's man. So, to this moment, only Chad Shaffer and Mrs. Shaffer were left in the car.
Mrs. Shaffer's heart was beating a little fast, but she had to say, "Dad, I don't care what you want to do to my daughter, I hope you don't hurt her. She has suffered all these years when she was clearly the eldest daughter of the Shaffer family. Nowadays she may not know her own identity either. I'm just going to take a look at her. Just one look. I promise to break all ties and contact with her. Can you not hurt her?"
Her voice carried a hint of supplication and even her voice trembled with suppression.
Chad Shaffer gave her a look and took a deep breath before saying, "What do you think I'll do to her?"
"I don't know, but the Shaffer family’s situation is too complicated. I don't want her to come back. I had one wish when I sent her away, and that was for her to grow up safe and sound and live in good health. Even if she doesn't have her parents around, at least she can make her own decisions in life."
Mrs. Shaffer meant what she said.
Chad Shaffer looked at her daughter-in-law. For so many years, she had been unassuming, but she had handled many things very well. It could be said that without Mrs. Shaffer, there would not have been the prosperity of the Shaffer family for so many years.
So no one knew better than Mrs. Shaffer what the Shaffer family was really like. It was precisely because of this that Chad Shaffer intended to be frank with her.
In his eyes, Mrs. Shaffer was much more reliable than his own son, Cody Shaffer.
He leaned back in his seat and narrowed his eyes as he said indifferently, "She has had the Shaffer family's blood in her veins since the day she was born. How easy is it for her to stay out of it?"
