When Eva asked Jerry to help her, Jerry told her that it was best not to use this batch of medicines if there were any problems. However, Eva was afraid that he would miss this great opportunity and that Bastian would find other ways or things to help her. He begged Jerry to help her. Jerry loved his daughter so much that he had no choice but to agree to her request.
Eva had hoped that Bastian’s mother wouldn’t have a major allergic reaction to her. However, she didn’t expect that Bastian’s mother’s health was so poor that her illness was stabilized but not completely cured. She didn’t dare to tell Bastian, so she let Bastian think that it was the after-effects of the operation.
Anyway, the doctors and nurses were arranged by her father, and they didn’t dare to say anything if they were silenced with money.
On second thought, Eva felt a little self-righteous. Had it not been for this batch of drugs, He Mu might have lost his mother’s life a long time ago. It was no big deal for He Mu to be bedridden. He would not have died anyway.
If Bastian knew that this was Eva’s true thoughts, he would probably even want to strangle her to death.
However, Jerry kept it a secret. Some people who knew that there was something wrong with the medicine had been sent away by Jerry with money or kept it a secret. Even so, Bastian still knew.
“Bastian, what are you talking about? What kind of medicine are you talking about? Why can’t I understand?” Eva pretended to be calm, but he didn’t know that Bastian could see her eyes and nervous application clearly.
“Are you still unwilling to tell me the truth now that things have developed to this point? Eva, do you really think that everyone here is a fool?” Bastian’s expression was cold and his disgust for Eva had risen to the extreme.
“Bastian, I really don’t know. Let’s make it clear if anything happens. Don’t listen to me.” Eva struggled, unwilling to give up. If this matter was exposed, she and Bastian would be finished! They would be completely finished.
Eva knew that Bastian was a very filial person.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have taken advantage of this and asked Bastian to break up with Susie to be with her.
If Bastian found out, then all the happiness she had been striving for would have been destroyed. What was the point of everything she had done for so many years?
Eva would never allow anything to go wrong, who was the one who leaked the secret, and why did Bastian know about it!
“If you don’t want others to know, then don’t do it.” Bastian didn’t want to be entangled with Eva anymore. How could he take his mother’s life as a joke?
He had consulted an authoritative doctor on this aspect, and it was also introduced to him by a friend he knew.
The doctor said that if it had been a few years earlier, Mr. Jones might still have a chance to recover. It was too late now. Mr. Jones’s body had been badly damaged. No matter how good the medicine or methods were, there was nothing she could do.
He could only spend the rest of his life in a hospital bed and rely on drugs to maintain the function of his body.
“Eva, I really didn’t expect you to be such a person. Don’t let me see you again.” Bastian didn’t want to stay with Eva any longer. The longer he stayed with her, the more disgusted he felt.
This woman was too vicious. In order to be with him, she didn’t even care about his mother’s life.
The doctor said that if the drug was not strong enough, there was a possibility of death. His mother was not in the worst situation now.
“Listen to me. It’s not what you think.” Eva clutched Bastian’s sleeve tightly and refused to let go. This time, she was completely flustered. There was no longer any arrogance on her face. She begged Bastian bitterly.
She knew that if she let go this time, Bastian would leave without looking back and would never come back.
“I did everything for you,” Eva said pitifully, trying to arouse Bastian’s sympathy.
Besides, if I hadn’t begged my father to help me take out the medicine, Auntie would have been in danger. You know, Auntie was very ill at that time, and her body couldn’t hold on for so long. She must be treated as soon as possible. Eva tried to explain.
“Furthermore, back then, I really didn’t know that there was a problem with that batch of medicine. If I knew, I wouldn’t have let Auntie use it.” Eva pretended as if he didn’t know anything and tried to pluck her clean.
Bastian turned around and seemed to have heard Eva’s words. Eva was pleasantly surprised. Why did he believe that she had changed her mind?
“I’ve already thoroughly investigated what happened back then. Stop trying to defend yourself. Is Eva still not repenting?” Bastian said word by word as he stared at Eva.
He really wanted to slap Eva, but he had no habit of hitting women.
Seeing that Eva refused to let go, Bastian put down the suitcase in his hand and opened Eva’s fingers one by one. “I’ll say it again. Eva, don’t pester me. Our engagement is over.”
In Eva’s impression, Bastian had always been gentle. How could he have such a strange moment? At this moment, she chose to give up.
“Bastian! Don’t forget how my family supported you to study abroad. You can’t live so well abroad as me?”
“Also, even if I concealed the fact that there was something wrong with the medicine, didn’t Auntie still come back to life? And the medical expenses were paid by my family! My father also invited the best expert to treat Auntie. Have you forgotten these?”
Eva knew that Bastian wouldn’t be soft-hearted even if she cried softly. She hoped that Bastian would forgive her if she said that. After all, she had done so many things for him back then. Was she going to deny everything because of this matter?
“Then I’m really grateful to you. Without you and I, we wouldn’t have starved to death abroad, and we wouldn’t have been separated from each other. I’ll settle all the debts I owe your family over the years and transfer the money to your card. From now on, we won’t have anything to do with each other.”
Bastian was not moved at all. In the past few years, he had done a lot for the Leonard family. He had worked hard to help Jerry manage some assets. He had never been greedy or secretly full of money.
Even if the Leonard family had done him a favor, he had almost paid it back.
Eva heard the words “I won’t be separated from Irene.” She pointed at Bastian’s nose and said, “Bastian! You separated from me because of Susie. You made it sound so nice. I didn’t expect that you haven’t forgotten her yet!”
“No, I have nothing to do with Susie now. Eva, don’t blame others for your mistakes.”
“I don’t believe you! You’ve always been partial to her and you even said that you didn’t. You can’t see how good Bastian is to me. Why do you like Susie?” Eva cried out hysterically while crying and laughing.
At this time, she had completely lost her image. She was like a crazy woman.
Bastian didn’t want to say anything more to Eva. The more he explained, the harder it became to explain. Moreover, Eva was in such a state that he couldn’t listen to anything at all.
“Bastian! Don’t leave me. I won’t be able to live without you. I’ve loved you for many years. Please don’t like Susie, okay?” Eva was at a loss for words.
Bastian turned a deaf ear to Eva’s words. He lifted his luggage and left the Leonard family.
Watching Bastian leave without looking back, Eva knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly.
There were still a few days before she could become a happy bride. How could everything become like this?
“It’s Susie. It must be Susie! She made Bastian misunderstand that I was far away from me.” Eva thought resentfully.
Otherwise, why would Bastian suddenly change his mind and cancel the engagement and treat her so coldly?
Eva didn’t reflect at all. She didn’t know that she had done something wrong. She thought that this was all caused by Susie.
She and Bastian were fine before, but everything had changed since they came back here and met Susie.
“Susie! I won’t let you off. If you don’t make me happy, I won’t let you live a good life either. Let’s just wait and see! I’ll definitely make you pay the price!” Eva said harshly into the air.
When Eva thought of Bastian’s departure, she burst into tears.
…
Irene walked back home briskly. After she untied the shackles, she felt as light as a swallow.
At this time, she looked at a figure in the distance and quickly passed by the door. Irene rubbed her eyes and thought that she was dazzled. Why did the outline resemble Liam?
Susie thought about it carefully. It seemed that when she was in the cafe, she also caught sight of a person who looked like Liam, but most of his facial features were covered by plants, so she didn’t see him clearly.
Susie opened the door and found that Liam was watching TV.
“Liam, have you gone out?” Susie asked in confusion. Could it be that she had seen wrongly just now, or that she was hallucinating?
Liam turned her head. “No, I’ve been watching TV at home. What’s wrong?”
“No, I probably saw it wrong.” Susie shook her head and said. She must have been thinking too much.
Liam breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he passed by. Just now, after he left with Susie in the cafe, he also left. Finally, he returned home before Susie arrived. But it seemed that he was still a step late, and Susie saw his figure.
But fortunately, Susie didn’t see it clearly from a distance, so Susie didn’t doubt it.
“What did Bastian say when he went out to find you?” Liam asked knowingly.
“I won’t tell you,” Susie said playfully.
“I know if you don’t tell me.” Liam couldn’t help murmuring in her heart. She didn’t expect that she would say it accidentally.
“What did you say?” Susie was a little confused.
“No, I said you were a mean person!” Fortunately, Liam’s voice was low and there was the noise of TV, so Susie didn’t hear him clearly.
Susie felt that Liam was a little strange, but she did not ask again.
