Kate understood what he meant and shook her head and laughed softly.
“You guys come with me to my house and I’ll show you something.”
After saying that, also ignore the two people’s reaction, straight ahead to lead the way.
The two looked at each other, Edward took Vivian’s hand and followed.
Kate’s home is in a village, the three of them walked for an hour to get there, during which Vivian almost couldn’t hold on several times, relying on Edward’s support to hold on.
The house is not big but also has everything.
Kate let the two sit in the hall, went in and fumbled around for half a second, took out a file folder, and handed it to Edward.
Edward took it, took out the papers inside, read them over and then his eyes instantly went red, clenched his jaw, and squeezed the fingers of the paper hard and white.
“Is this true?”
asked in a dumb, incredulous voice.
Kate nodded her head vigorously.
“If the situation wasn’t so complicated, someone as strong as Madame couldn’t have gone to the end of her rope.”
Cancer, depression, pregnancy, genetic odds, each taken individually, are things that can make a patient’s family worry along, and actually squeezed together in one woman’s body.
And this woman, no one can help her to relieve and share her worries, it is no wonder that she finally chose to take her own life.
Edward stood there stiffly, his hand clutching the medical record faintly trembling, the sound of clicking at the bone joints.
Immersed in great shock for a long time.
“Since I have chosen to tell you the truth, I will not hide it anymore. If you think there is still doubt, you can go to the hospital to check.”
Kate sighed and turned around and went back to her room, giving them the space in the hall.
“Edward?”
Vivian saw Edward’s extremely ugly face, and the whole person was on the verge of collapse.
The company’s first and foremost, the company’s first and foremost, is a company that has been in the business for a long time.
“Are you … okay?”
Edward’s eyebrows knitted together, and fiercely reached out to take Vivian into his arms, slowly closing his eyes and resting his chin on the woman’s forehead.
He didn’t say anything.
But the arms around her were so strong that they could not wait to rub Vivian into their bones.
Ouch.
It hurts.
But Vivian knew he was holding back the grief and sadness in his heart.
She held back the pain and didn’t squeal, but still soothed him, “Edward, the past is in the past. We … should all learn to let go.”
I don’t know how long it took, but Edward calmed down and raised his head, his dark, ink-like pupils returning to clarity.
“Come on, let’s go home.”
He held out his hand toward Vivian, his voice low and moody.
Instead of going back to Vivian’s house, the two of them went back to their apartment downtown overnight.
All the way, Edward did not speak, the mood is still incredibly depressed.
It was only when she got home and heard the nanny coaxing Ashtyn to drink her milk that Vivian saw a glimmer of warmth in Edward’s face.
The gloom that had been hanging over him all day faded a little.
“Want to go check on Ashtyn, we’ve been gone for two days.”
She said, walking towards Ashtyn’s room.
Edward was a close second.
The nanny was startled when she knocked on the door.
“Sir and Madam are back?”
Holding Ashtyn is about to stand up, Vivian picked up Ashtyn, he opened his big round eyes, little mouth squirming, while eating milk and watching people.
“Look at him, I don’t know if he can really see people, he can’t take his eyes off the road.”
Bring the child up to Edward’s face, let him see the child, he still has a son still wife, he still has a long life ahead of him.
Edward had not said a word since he found out about Lilah’s case. She could sense that he was not in the right mood, but could not open up to him.
It’s a good thing Ashtyn is still in the house, just so he can divert Edward’s attention.
“Give me that.”
Edward held Ashtyn, nursed him, burped him and put him to sleep.
With Ashtyn’s sleep, Edward’s cold, almost ice-cold aura, which dissipated.
Vivian also just followed and put his heart down.
“Let you worry about it.”
Edward could feel Vivian’s good intentions, took a deep breath, put his arm around her and apologized softly.
Vivian shook his head, “It’s okay, it’s good that you can figure it out, I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to think about it.”
He patted her back, “I’m fine, go to bed early, I’m going back to the old house tomorrow.”
Vivian ‘mmm’ and the lights went out in the room.
The moon sets and the sun rises, and the night passes.
Early in the morning, Edward arrived at the old Henderson Family home.
The two of them stood opposite to Old Mr. Henderson, with an evenly matched aura that deterred the maids of the old mansion from coming forward.
“What? Think it’s tough out there and plan to come back?” Old Mr. Henderson’s pair had long been clouded, and an unspeakable majesty pressed over like a great mountain.
Edward laughs lightly.
“You’re overthinking it, I’m here because of this.”
He placed the paper bag in his hand on the table, Old Mr. Henderson took it over, scanned it down, instantly changed his face and slapped his big palm hard on the table in front of him.
“Who told you to look into all this?”
Edward was not afraid and straightened his back to look directly at Old Mr. Henderson.
“So you already knew about my mother’s health condition?”
He was raised with Old Mr. Henderson and later boarded at school, and did not spend much time at home.
Having spent even less time with Lilah, he knew nothing about these conditions.
As a son, I don’t know how painful and difficult it was for my own mother to live the last part of her life.
How desperate is she to do down to the point of no return?
Edward dared not think, a thought of the heart with a needle.
Old Mr. Henderson was asked to choke, “Your mother’s health was already weak, and she has always had a family doctor dedicated to her health before, as you know.”
This is a side acknowledgement that Lilah has these cases now.
Edward asked again, “So did Kenya have anything to do with the cause of my mother’s death?”
Old Mr. Henderson stood up in anger, pointed at Edward and scolded, “Are you still for that woman? What kind of ecstasy did she put in your head to make you so obsessed?”
Edward was the grandson to whom he gave high hopes and to whom the entire the Henderson Family would later be given.
As a result, he was actually bewitched by a woman like Vivian who couldn’t lift herself up half the time.
Thinking about it, Old Mr. Henderson was disgusted with Vivian, to the core.
“Her name is Vivian, she’s my wife, the mommy of my children.”
Old Mr. Henderson yelled with his cane, “Your mother was killed by her mother.”
“Is this the truth or a cover-up?”
The moment Edward got the cases, he began to doubt the truth of Old Mr. Henderson’s words.
For a family as large as the Henderson Family, it’s a scandal that a woman in the family suffers from depression and commits suicide.
Old Mr. Henderson has never taken the Henderson Family for granted, so it is quite possible that he, in order to cover up this ‘scandal’ in his eyes, threw dirt on an innocent man.
Old Mr. Henderson was furious, pointing a trembling finger at him and unable to speak.
Edward took a deep breath and said the decision he had thought about long ago.
“Grandpa, in the future, if you figure it out, I’ll bring them back with mother and son.”
After saying that, he bent down and bowed to Old Mr. Henderson.
“If I never accept them, you won’t come back?”
Old Mr. Henderson pointed at Edward and yelled in anger.
Edward did not say anything, his expression clearly told Old Mr. Henderson his answer.
A cane was smashed by Old Mr. Henderson and grazed a centimeter from Edward’s ear.
“Get the hell out of here.”
