Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 966

Old Master Shaw was confused. "Grace, why...why are you suddenly mentioning the Payne family?"

Grace smiled mournfully. "After all, the Payne family are locals of Star Island, and I'm from Star Island too. My family has been living here for more than a century, and now I'm the only one left. I... I can't even ensure my own survival, that's why I would like to...I would like to leave one of my children with the Payne family. But they definitely won't want my child, so could you please put in a good word for me? To take this little son of mine who weighs less than three pounds?"

Old Master Shaw did not know what to say.

"As long as...as long as I can keep him alive, at least I’ll be preserving a part of the bloodline of the Summer family. I don't even know whether the three of us will b e executed once we arrive in South City, but even if we weren't executed, this child weighs less than three pounds. How can we endure such suffering along with us? If Rose Quinton kills us the moment we arrive in South City, then does the bloodline of the Summer family deserve to be severed? Do I deserve such a cruel fate? Uncle Shaw, I’m begging you, please, have pity on this poor child and give him a chance at life, please?" When she uttered her last few sentences, Grace was crying so hard, the words could hardly be deciphered.

Tears flowed down the old man's face too.

After a slight pause, he said, "My dear girl, you have suffered so much, you're right! This would be better, even if later on after your child grows up and fights with Rose for the family inheritance, at least there's only one child, and the other one will be living with the Payne family."

Grace nodded vehemently. "I promise, I won’t fight Rose for the family inheritance."

"Alright!" The old man said. "Leave this to me! But my dear girl, you have to promise that this has to remain a secret between us. Since you decided to give this child to the Payne family, then you can never acknowledge him as your son. I'm only doing this to save the Ford family from further trouble. You’re my friend's daughter, and your father once gave me financial aid. But even so, I repaid him by saving your parents and your siblings later on. Now I want to help you, but I also have to strike a balance between you and Sean and Rose, so please, try to understand."
