Chapter 321: A Night of Nightmares
In a person's life, it is normal to experience the cycle of birth, aging, illness, and death, as well as minor conflicts and major disputes.
No one could have imagined that one day they would end up killing someone and being imprisoned.
Such a monumental situation is like a mountain collapsing and completely crushing the tiny individual, shattering them into pieces, and the world collapsing.
Anna sat on the ground in a daze, hugging her legs, unable to control her tears.
Facing Giorgio's bullying, she was not afraid.
Facing Katherine's troubles, she did not shed tears.
Facing the heartlessness of her biological parents, she did not tremble.
But at this moment, she was truly scared.
She would be in prison, serving a life sentence... spending her whole life in jail...
What should she do... how would Penny grow up without her? How would she survive without her mother?
Tears fell like broken beads, wetting her clothes and the ground.
The confined space was filled with a salty and painful atmosphere.
At the other side.
"Goddess Sara, is Mommy not coming back tonight?" Little Penny stood in the yard, looking at the arch in the courtyard, eagerly awaiting Anna's arrival.
Sara sat on a chair, holding her legs. Her whole body was in pain from the unnaturalness of last night, and she dared not move recklessly.
Any movement would cause pain.
Her voice was slightly hoarse, "Hmm, she didn't say she was coming back. She's probably still at the Vittorio mansion."
"Goddess Sara, can you make a call to check? My eyelid has been twitching, I'm really worried that something happened to Mommy." The little girl ran to Sara's side, her doll-like face serious and concerned.
"Okay." Sara took out her phone to make a call, intending to also tell Anna about her and Fabio, but the call couldn't go through.
I'm sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.
"Can't get through? Something must have happened, right?"
"Psh! What nonsense are you thinking? There was a secret message revealed this afternoon that Mrs. Giorgio was seriously ill. The Vittorio family must be very busy, and Anna staying there is certainly very busy as well."
She comforted Penny, saying, "Don't worry, sweetheart, nothing will happen. Mom is just busy. How about we order take-out? What do you want to eat? The goddess is treating us today."
"Oh, okay," little Penny nodded helplessly, not hearing her mommy's voice and clearly not interested.
At the same time.
Charlie was also very worried about Anna. He lay in bed and weakly said,
"Dad, there has been no news from Anna since she left in the morning. Could something have happened? Can you call and check?"
Giorgio had been busy all day, taking care of Viviana, handling public relations matters related to the old woman, and his work.
After taking a shower, with a slender figure and a pleasant smell, he remembered the image he saw in the morning and coldly sat on the edge of the bed:
"She is with your brother Giorgio, they have someone protecting them, no need for us to worry."
"But Brother Giorgio himself isn't a good person."
One sentence made Giorgio's noble figure pause for a moment.
Charlie sat up and grabbed his sleeve, saying, "Dad, just call."
In a spoiled tone and with difficult movements.
Giorgio glanced at him coolly, "You're acting like a girl!"
While saying this, his slender hand still grabbed the phone from the cabinet and dialed Anna's number.
"I'm sorry, the number you dialed cannot be reached at the moment. Please try again later," the customer service voice said.
After a series of English explanations, the call automatically hung up.
At this moment, a conversation between two servants passing by could be heard from outside the door:
"Viviana is seriously ill, did the young master not come back tonight?"
"Yeah, he went out with Anna, probably went out as a couple. The master was angry earlier because he couldn't reach them on the phone."
Giorgio's face turned cold.
A date with Giuseppe?
Being a couple?
He casually threw his phone onto the cabinet and warned Charlie, "Go to sleep."
Charlie hmph...
Anna is with Brother Giorgio, why is Dad getting angry at him?
Feeling wronged.
That night.
Anna kept having terrible dreams.
In her dream, there was a solemn and majestic courtroom.
"After trial, Anna is guilty of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. Execution will take place immediately."
The verdict was set.
Applause echoed in the room, with discussions all around:
"A murderer should be harshly punished, serves her right."
"At such a young age, how can she be so wicked, daring to kill someone?"
"We knew that someone raised in the countryside wouldn't have good morals. Stefanelli family shouldn't have brought her to the city."
Amidst these words, several police officers approached and forcibly took Anna away.
"Wait, I want to see my daughter again."
'Plop' she said, and knelt down directly, her handcuffed hands pleading relentlessly:
"I won't be able to see her again once I go in, I won't be able to hold my daughter. I'm sorry to her, please, I just want to see her one last time."
She begged bitterly, humbly, insignificantly.
But the officer sternly said, "The prison entry time has been set, we can't delay, let's go."
They forcibly pulled her up and took her away.
'Thump.' The icy prison opened, and she was pushed in, along with a photo.
"From now on, live in here and look at the photo of your daughter!"
Then, the door was shut directly, and the prison plunged into darkness.
Anna, with ankle shackles on her feet and handcuffs on her hands, walked over and squatted on the ground, desperately picking up the photo.
In the photo, her daughter's face was clean, with a simple and radiant smile, quite adorable.
But! She could only look at this photo from now on, never see her again! She couldn't accompany her as she grew up.
She sat on the edge of the bed, found paper and pen, and wrote while shedding tears:
[Penny, Mommy's beloved little baby, Mommy can no longer live with you. You have to grow up well on your own, eat well, take good care of yourself, don't mind the outside world's judgment, and don't feel pain because of Mommy.
Mommy is sorry to you, Mommy thinks of you every day. Mommy believes you are the best, keep going!]
From now on, she would write all her blessings to her daughter on paper, including birthday wishes and caring greetings.
But she could only write them on paper.
She looked up and glanced at the cold and dark prison. For the next few decades, she would spend every day in this closed and oppressive prison, without sunlight, without her daughter.
How should she get through it?
Yet another dream.
Penny was ragged all over, covered in dirt, holding a tattered doll, wandering the streets at night. Her small lips called out, "Mommy, Mommy, where are you? I want Mommy..."
"Your mommy? Your mommy is a killer, she'll never come out in this lifetime."
"Get away, daughter of a killer, don't stay in front of my shop, it's bad luck."
"Damn it, who knows if the daughter of a killer also has mental issues, she shouldn't be out here, she should be caught and locked up."
"My mommy is not a killer, not a killer!" Penny rushed over, grabbed the person's thigh, and fiercely bit down, "You're not allowed to talk about my mommy!"
"Get lost!" The person kicked Penny hard, "Bad child, indeed having violent tendencies, everyone, call the police and take her away."
"Yes, call the police."
Penny lay on the ground, her ribs aching, tears streaming down her face.
Unfortunately, no one felt sorry for her, pitied her, only casting disdainful and disgusted looks at her, even throwing rotten eggs and vegetable leaves at her!
"No! Penny!"
Anna suddenly woke up, sat up, and realized in astonishment -
