Chapter 83
Hearing her words, I was so angry that I trembled all over. I was extremely desperate for her. “You really don’t deserve to be a mother.”
“Yes, that’s why you didn’t call me mom since I left your father. To tell you the truth, I didn’t intend to ask for so much money. But when I thought that you had disappeared without a trace in the past four years and I couldn’t get any information about you, I felt bad. You don’t have a mother in your heart at all. I found you this time, and maybe I won’t see you again next time. If I don’t ask for more money, how can my life be guaranteed in the future? I’m just being prepared. Do you understand? ” She said firmly.
“One hundred million is impossible. I don’t have so much money. It’s not wrong for me to inherit all the heritage of Eugene, but many of them are real estate, stock and some options. If you want me to sell them to you at once, it’s impossible.”
“But you still have your husband, right? You don’t. You can always find him. It doesn’t matter. I’m not in a hurry. Anyway, I’ll leave as soon as you give me the money.” She acted as if she was determined to stick to me.
I was angry and hateful, but there was nothing I could do.
“Okay, I’ll give you one hundred million. But you have to promise me one thing first.” I thought for a while and said.
“Go ahead.”
“I want the number of the person who sent you the message.” I have to figure out who knows my address and Eugene’s life.
“No problem.” She agreed without hesitation. She took out her phone and threw it to me.
I took over the phone, opened the mailbox and looked through a few messages. As expected, I saw the two messages.
I took down the phone number and returned it to her. “don’t waste your time. I have called this number a long time ago, but no one answered it. So I can’t call you later.”
I ignored her, picked up my phone and dialed this number.
The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up. A woman’s voice came from inside, “hello…”
“Do you know Eugene?” I asked tentatively on the phone.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. Then the woman said, “are you Leanna?”
I didn’t expect that they would know who I am at once.
“Who are you? Do you know me?” I began to wonder who this person is. He knows me and Eugene, but his voice is not very familiar. Who could she be?
Why didn’t he appear in her memory?
“”Don’t you remember me? When you left England, I saw you off in person.” The man said.
Her words suddenly opened the door of my memory.
It was her!!
Sheila!!
It was her!
‘is the person Eugene trusts most alive? Is Eugene still alive?
“Sheila, is that you? Eugene is still alive. Is that true?” I asked anxiously.
She smiled at the other end of the phone. “It seems that your mother has found you.”
“Yes, I just want to know if Eugene is still alive and what happened that year.”
But she didn’t answer. She kept silent for a while and said, “I know you have been with Edmund. Are you sure you still want to know everything about boss in such a situation?”
“Yes, I want to know. No matter who I’m with now, I want to know what’s going on with Eugene.” Eugene’s death has always been a knot in my heart. I once blamed Edmund for his death. And because of his death, I chose to go abroad and forget everything in the past.
But now, I know he is still alive, how can I not care about him.
“But Mr. Eugene doesn’t want you to know everything about him. To tell you the truth, I sent a message to your mother and asked her to find you. It was all my own decision. His original intention was that he would feel relieved when he knew that you were living a good life and were with the person he loved. He didn’t want to disturb you. If he knew what I had done behind his back, he would never forgive me. So, I can’t tell you too much about him. ” Said Sheila.
“Eugene… Where is he now?” I didn’t expect that Eugene didn’t show up to disturb me. Don’t he know how sad his parents are because of him?
“Sorry, I can’t tell you either.”
“Since Eugene is alive, why didn’t he come back to his parents?”
“Of course it’s for you. If he shows up, can you still be with Edmund now? Will you let Edmund marry you in the name of robbing your brother’s wife? Miss Leanna, he has lived a hard life in the past four years. It’s a miracle that he can survive.”
When I heard this, I felt sad and unbelievable. “You mean that he refused to let his parents know that he was still alive for me? What on earth had he experienced in the past four years?”
“Otherwise, why do you think he chose to hide in the foreign country and live alone instead of? Four years ago, he had a heart transplant operation, but after that, there was a phenomenon of rejection. In the past four years, he had been fighting alone with the disease. Can you imagine what kind of life he had every day? After he had a good rest, he could only hide and lock himself in his room every day Without any contact with the outside world, he was like a fool who sacrificed himself to fulfill your happiness. Your happiness now is gained on our boss’s shoulder. ” Sheila’s words were like a knife, flying directly into my heart.
I can’t imagine how lonely Eugene has been these years.
I can’t believe that all the pain he has suffered is all because of me.
“Can I see him?” I asked in a choked voice. I need to see him and ask him why he did that and why he was so stupid.
“You’d better not.”
“Why?”
“Don’t you understand why he has suffered so much for you and sacrificed everything for you?”
My heart beat faster all of a sudden. I don’t dare to know the answer.
“He’s in love with you, Leanna.” Sheila’s voice came from the other end of the phone. It was so clear that no one could hear it clearly.
Eugene has fallen in love with me?
How is that possible? He knows that I only love Edmund from the beginning to the end.
“No, don’t talk nonsense. How could Eugene…” I shook my head and couldn’t believe her words at all.
“Look, you don’t even have the courage to admit it. You still want to see him. Leanna, you don’t deserve him. You don’t deserve his love.” Her voice was full of contempt.
“Since you don’t want me to see him, why did you tell me that he is still alive? Why did you tell me those things about him?” I asked in a trembling voice.
She smiled, “Why? Because I don’t want you to be happy so easily. Leanna, who do you think you are? Why does boss have to suffer so much for you? Why can you suffer all the pain and get the love you want? I just want you to know everything. I want to see if you can still enjoy what you have now after a man has done so much for you secretly … ”
Before Sheila could finish her words, a deep, attractive voice came from the other end of the phone. It sounded familiar to me. Obviously, the voice was talking to Sheila. “Who are you calling?”
“No, no one…” Sheila’s voice came from the other end of the line in a low voice. Obviously, the phone was a little far away.
“Give me your phone.” The man was still talking.
“No, I’m not, Mr. Eugene. I’m on the phone with my friend.” Sheila tried to defend herself.
I listened to the conversation between the two. It was not until this moment that I completely believed that Eugene was still alive. He was really alive.
“Eugene, is that you? Eugene, I’m Leanna…” I shouted at the phone.
However, the next second, the phone was hung up.
Unwilling to give up, I called him again, but was told that his phone was powered off.
I was on the verge of breaking down. I called him several times, but his phone was still powered off.
I walked back and forth in the room like a headless fly. At a loss, my mother immediately stepped forward and grabbed my hand. “Leanna, calm down! Is Eugene still alive?”
When I looked at her, I suddenly realized that she had always been by my side. “What do you want to do again?”
“What do you think I want to do? Silly girl, do you know what it means if he is still alive?”
“What?” My mind is in a mess now and I can’t think normally.
“It means that your relationship with Eugene is not over, and you are not divorced. But now you are married. What do you mean? If he comes back and doesn’t give up on you, your marriage will become a problem whether it is legal or not.” Mother’s words awakened the person in the dream. I was stunned when I heard this.
Why didn’t I think of this?
If Eugene really showed up, then what about my marriage with Edmund?
Is this the reason why Eugene doesn’t want to show up in front of me now?
“Leanna, I think you need to think about it carefully. You can go back to your room and have a rest.”
With a dull expression on my face, I was sent back to my room by my mother. Before entering the room, I turned to look at her and asked, “will you tell others that Eugene is still alive?”
“Do you think your mother is stupid? Although I love money, I hope you can live a good life. Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone without your permission.” She gave me a reassuring look and said.
“I need to think it over.” I turned around and went into my room.
I lay on the bed, tossing and turning, but couldn’t fall asleep. After thinking for a long time, I finally decided to tell Edmund about it.
I believe that Edmund can solve the problem that I can’t figure out.
Most importantly, it’s not easy for me to be with him now. I don’t want to cause misunderstanding between the two people because of this matter.
We have sworn in front of our master that we will be honest to each other from now on, know each other and support each other for the rest of our lives.
At this time, City Y was in the early morning.
My phone rang for a long time before I heard his hoarse voice. “Leanna, what’s wrong?”
“Edmund, are you sleeping? I… I have something to tell you.” My voice was choked with sobs.
“What happened? Is something wrong with Cedric?”
“No, it’s not Cedric. It’s Eugene.” I sobbed.
“Eugene?”
“Edmund, Eugene is still alive. I heard his voice.”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“What happened? Tell me.” He asked immediately.
So I told him everything that happened after my mother came to me on the other end of the phone.
After hearing that, he kept silent for a long time and said calmly, “I know, Leanna. You don’t have to think too much. I will solve this matter. understand?”
“Edmund, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t acted on impulse, all these things wouldn’t have happened and Eugene wouldn’t have suffered so much.” I cried on the phone.
“Well, silly, it wasn’t all your fault at that time. We three were all wrong. Now that Eugene doesn’t want to disturb us, it proves that he is still for your own good. You must accept his kindness. If he knows that you are so guilty now, he will definitely blame himself more. Don’t worry. I will find a way to deal with this matter. I will let Eugene go back to the King family and let him live the life he should live.” He comforted gently.
“Okay, I know. Don’t worry. I won’t think too much. I won’t disturb your rest. Go to sleep.” After hearing what he said, I finally felt relieved. Thinking of the time at Edmund’s side, I said, “I love you. Good night.” Then he hung up the phone.
