Chapter 124 The Freedom That She Yearned For

• Night came, and Rachel leaned against the headboard of her bed as she read her book. There was a bowl near the bed, and its contents—a concoction to keep her energy levels up during her pregnancy—was already finished. As Rachel read her book, she unconsciously caressed her belly.
• Although she wasn’t at a stage where her belly would show yet, she could already sense the presence of this new little life. This was probably what they called the bond between mother and child.
• Rachel had spent the last few days alone, and as the days passed, she grew even more fonder of this child. She recalled that Justin had also grown up without his own parents as well. As long as the child in her belly had the Burtons’ blood flowing in their veins, no one would mistreat them. After all, the child was innocent.
