I turned my head as I walked, feeling a little unbearable.
“Do not interfere in this matter. I know her personality very well. You can’t comfort her.” Calvin pinched my cheek without me being able to avert my gaze and whispered.
“Was what you just said a little too much?” Walking up the stairs and standing at the door to my room, I couldn’t help but tug on Calvin’s arm. “She is your mother, after all. She’ll be a lot sadder if you say that to her!”
“You should ask Carrie. Ask her if she’s been in bed for so many years. She woke up and didn’t have the heart to tell her mother. Is she sad!” Calvin opened the door, but did not go in. He stood there with a cold tone. “After the car accident, I broke two ribs and had a mild concussion. I was on the bed for half a year. Now I can’t sleep well and I still have a terrible headache.”
Calvin saw my shocked look, he grinned and continued, “Carrie had a bad concussion, three ribs broken and a comminuted calf fracture. If I hadn’t crawled out before the car caught fire, I would have dragged Carrie out. We were both dead by then.”
I was scared to death when I heard that. I had only ever heard Calvin mention the car accident before. I was hearing the details now for the first time. Right after Calvin talked about it, I felt a pain throughout my body. So desperate.
Calvin squinted his eyes and grinned, “You know what she was doing when Carrie and I were at ER? She was busy looking for someone to destroy the evidence and keep her son away! Knowing that, will you still forgive her?”
At the last sentence, Calvin’s voice was extremely rough.
Tears welled up in my eyes.
Calvin panicked, he hugged me, “I’m not mad at you! You don’t have to cry!”
I shook my head and cried even sadder, “No.”
“Okay, okay, I won’t say anything, don’t cry, blame me, go to your room.” Calvin didn’t know what was wrong with me, he felt nervous for a while.
After I entered the room, the door was closed and I threw myself into Calvin’s arms crying.
“Ale, I feel so nervous when you cry, what’s wrong?” Calvin asked me softly as he held my cheek.
“I, I just feel, I feel so sorry for you!” I choked out. “I always misunderstood you so much, I thought you …”
Calvin hadn’t expected me to cry over this. He was weird and desperate. It was like his heart was melting. All the petulance was gone. He couldn’t help but kiss me and dry the tears on my face.
I returned his kiss as well, but as soon as I thought of the scene Calvin had just described, I couldn’t help but cry again.
“Okay, if you know you feel sorry for me, you’ll treat me better in the future, don’t be mad at me!” Calvin picked the tip of my nose.
“How can I treat you bad!” I wrinkled my nose and said a little pained. The subject is too heavy right now and I need to change the atmosphere. After warming up for a moment, I went into the bathroom to remove my makeup and wash up.
I entered the bathroom, but Calvin was sitting on the side of the bed, the gentle expression on his face gone and replaced by a deep loneliness.
Calvin’s pov
I’m afraid that only I know how desperate and pained I am when I say those callous words to Fiona Smith. But what can I do if I don’t say it? Fiona Smith thought no one knew what she had done. She transferred part ownership of the company to Kevin Smith and allowed him to use the company’s resources to start a new company outside. If I really want to investigate this, I’m afraid she’ll go to jail. At this point, no one can protect her, and she thought she had destroyed the evidence that Kevin Smith harmed me and Carrie Smith. She is so naive.
“Mrs. Smith, you, why are you here?” I came out of the bathroom and was about to go into the kitchen to pour water, but I almost ran into Mrs. Smith when I opened the door. Unconsciously, I took two steps back.
“Mrs. Smith, is something wrong?”
Fiona Smith still didn’t speak, I could only smile awkwardly, “Calvin’s inside, I’ll call him out.”
“No!” When she saw me trying to push the door open, Fiona Smith quickly stopped her, “I’ll look for you!”
“Looking for me?” The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is really hard to bear. I get nervous every time I see them!
“Well, I have something to ask you.” Fiona Smith glanced behind me. She also knew Calvin was in the house, but after standing outside the door for so long, she didn’t have the courage to knock on the door to look for him.
“Oh, well, Mrs. Smith.”
Fiona Smith didn’t ask me to go anywhere with her. She was still standing in the corridor. She looked at me and suddenly asked, “Tell me the truth Carrie, is she awake?” On the surface she seemed calm, but in reality her eyes were full of tension.
“Woke up? Hasn’t she woken up already?” I was embarrassed. Carrie Smith didn’t want Fiona Smith to know she was awake, but I didn’t want to lie to the others. After all, Fiona Smith was just a mother worried about her daughter. So I had no choice but to play dumb.
“You know what I mean.” Fiona Smith was a little anxious, but she could still barely hold back from getting angry. The girl in front of her, even if she doesn’t like her anymore, she can’t scold her here, or she’ll only get further and further away from Calvin.
I’m entangled, should I say it?
“Why don’t you speak?” Fiona Smith frowned, she was already impatient.
“Mrs. Smith, what do you want me to say?” I sighed helplessly. This woman is too powerful.
“Just tell me if Carrie has regained her sanity!” Fiona Smith said, even more impatiently.
“Why don’t you ask her yourself?” I held out my hand, signaling Fiona Smith, to look behind. Carrie was knocked over by the nanny.
Fiona Smith turned abruptly, “Carrie!” The indifferent expression on Fiona Smith face vanished instantly. She squatted down in front of Carrie Smith’s wheelchair and grabbed her hand, unable to suppress the excitement and ecstasy in her heart. “Carrie, tell Mommy you woke up!”
But when Carrie Smith Fiona Smith faced her, her face was still calm and her eyes were even more indifferent.
“Mama?” Carrie Smith spoke softly, in a low voice, slightly mute, but still it was hard to hide the mockery in her tone.
“Carrie, it’s me, mother, don’t you know me? Why don’t you tell your mother when you wake up?” Fiona Smith did not seem to notice the strangeness of Carrie Smith; she was still absorbed in the great ecstasy of finding Carrie Smith sober.
When Fiona Smith saw her eyes, she already understood everything; her daughter had really woken up! But why did Carrie look so cold in her eyes?
Fiona Smith slowly calmed down under Carrie Smith’s cold eyes. She stared Carrie Smith at her, her lips trembling, “Carrie, what’s wrong with you? Why are you looking at your mother with that look?”
Carrie Smith fell silent and just smiled briefly before laughing mockingly, “Mom? Whose mother are you? All I can remember is that you alone are Kevin Smith mother!”
In an instant, Fiona Smith, it seemed as if she had received a blow to the head. There were still tears on her face, and the corners of her mouth were pulled up. The crying and laughing expression on her face simply froze, as if she didn’t understand what Carrie Smith was saying. Her lips trembled, “You, what did you say?”
Carrie Smith gritted her teeth, “I said you’re not my mother!”
Fiona Smith shook her head, “Carrie, why am I not your mother? I am your mother!”
Carrie Smith smiled, “Mother? Is there a mother like you who doesn’t care if her children live or die? You’re too judgmental.”
Fiona Smith shook her head in annoyance, “I’m not, I’m not judgmental! I’m nice to Kevin, it’s because I can’t take care of him, I’m ashamed of him, so I treat him a little better, and that’s how I am to you! !”
“You’re just a little better to him?” Carrie Smith seemed to have heard a great joke, and her mouth twisted into a mocking smile, “Do you think I don’t know that you’re transferring your shares to him, and that you’re faking Signature into transferring mine to him?”
“You, how do you know that?” Fiona Smith sat down on the floor in shock when she heard that. At this point, she had completely lost her usual elegant demeanor.
“How do I know that? Of course, because I woke up more than a year ago!” Carrie Smith smiled slightly.
“What did you say? A year ago? You woke up a year ago? That’s impossible!” Fiona Smith ‘s eyes widened in shock and disbelief. “Why don’t I know anything! Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Can I say that? Mom!” Carrie Smith licked her lips. She gritted her teeth at the sound, cold as ice. “I was only a little sane at first, but I couldn’t move my body. I had no strength left. You were just there and gone. I tried to call you, but did you take care of me?”
Carrie Smith was tired, she paused and continued, “Besides, you shouldn’t forget that day. It was raining outside. Kevin Smith came in. He touched me and said a lot of insults, obviously not the first time, but you saw it clearly when you came in, but you just said lightly, “She’s your sister, you can’t do that!” Mom, huh, do you know how distraught I was? I really wish I wouldn’t wake up and die just like that!”
At the last sentence, Carrie Smith held her head and screamed almost hysterically.
It hurts my heart that what Carrie Smith didn’t want to say that night was that she was molested by Kevin Smith!
So does Calvin know about this?
As soon as I thought of that question, I noticed someone was around me, Calvin! He was expressionless, but his clenched fist told me that this was the first time he was hearing this!
I covered my mouth to keep from screaming, and on the other side Fiona Smith I lay pale and limp on the floor, shaking all over, unable to utter a word.
Carrie Smith paused for a while before letting out a sigh of relief. Her tone couldn’t hide her sadness, “Mom, you’ve been very estranged from my brother and me since I was a kid. I know you took care of the son, but I don’t know if you really spoiled him. That kind of situation disappointed me! You are not my mother.”
Having said that, Carrie Smith closed her eyes. I don’t know if it was annoying or tired. She didn’t go on.
“Carrie, you always knew?” Fiona Smith’s eyes were filled with despair, she didn’t even have the strength to stand up.
“Dad knows too!” Carrie Smith said quietly, which directly made Fiona Smith as if struck by lightning.
“Your father, he, he knows?” Fiona Smith’s body trembled again.
“Oh, otherwise, do you think that with your ability, you can help Kevin Smith settle so much trouble? Do you really think that grandpa will let you go? If father and brother hadn’t help you, you would have been—” Carrie Smith raised her eyes and said nothing more after seeing Calvin.
