Chapter 80
Leanna’s POV
I followed Whitney into the car. Petra sat in the front passenger seat, and I sat in the back seat with Whitney.
The driver started the car and felt a little uneasy. “Mom… Where are we going?”
“What? Are you afraid that I will sell you?” She glanced at me coldly and said.
“I didn’t mean that, i…” I didn’t know how to explain. I just shut up and sat in the car, letting them take me anywhere.
The car left the hospital, got on the main road and drove forward.
About half an hour’s drive, the car stopped at the gate of a villa.
After getting off the car, I looked at the strange house in front of me and didn’t know where it was.
Petra walked to me and whispered to her, “Young lady, this is Madamn’s villa. Mrs. didn’t go back to her mother’s house after she divorced She has already lived in this villa.”
‘I see. So, only Whitney lives in this house.
As long as she doesn’t bring me here to meet Rudolf.
It was easier to deal with one Whitney than two. Besides, Rudolf has no bottom line and uses all kinds of methods. I’m really afraid of him.
I followed Whitney into the villa. She sat on the sofa in the living room, but I could only stand aside and dare not take a seat.
At this time, Petra went to the kitchen and poured two cups of tea. ” have some tea first.”
Whitney looked up at and asked, “tell me, where have you been in the past four years? What happened that year? You even didn’t attend Eugene’s funeral and disappeared. Do you know how desolute his funeral was? He loved you so much and treated you so well. Do you have a conscience?”
Hearing her series of accusations, I know that she has hidden these words in her heart for a long time. Now she finally sees me and has the chance to spit it out.
I got down on my knees. Thinking of Eugene, my heart ached. “I’m sorry, mom. I had no choice but to leave that year.”
“You have no choice? Tell me why you can’t even attend your husband’s funeral.” She pointed at me and said in a trembling voice.
“It was Eugene who arranged me to leave.” I’ll tell you the truth.
She asked in disbelief, “how could it be possible? Why did he do that?””
“Maybe he knew that he couldn’t get out of the hospital, so he made such an arrangement. If you don’t believe me, you can ask his secretary, Sheila. On the day when Sheila Eugene entered the hospital, she came to see me at midnight. Petra also knew it.” As I spoke, I turned to look at Petra. “Petra, do you still remember what happened that day?”
Hearing this, Whitney also looked at Petra and asked, “tell me, what’s going on?”
Petra thought for a while and said, “madam, you went back to your parents’ house that night. master was seriously ill and was hospitalized. That night, Sheila did come to see her.”
“Why didn’t you tell me such an important thing?” Whitney frowned and looked annoyed.
“I… I forgot…” said Petra.
Whitney glared and then looked at me. “Even so, why haven’t you contacted us for the past four years? Our child? If I hadn’t met you in the hospital today, wouldn’t you have shown up?”
Of course I can’t tell her that the baby is not Eugene’s. even if she believes it or not, she might not be able to accept it. I’m afraid that this answer will irritate her and she won’t let me go.
But if Ididn’t say so, she would definitely want the child that belonged to the extension of Eugene’s life.
At that time, Eugene said that he wanted to marry me because he wanted to keep the baby in my belly. In order to prevent him from being away one day, he wanted to comfort his parents, didn’t he?
‘what should I do?
What should I do to give a perfect answer?
I’m in a dilemma.
“I’m asking you. Why don’t you answer my question? Where is my grandson?” She said in a more serious tone.
“I’m sorry…” I made up my mind and looked up at Whitney.
Hearing this, she frowned. “What are you sorry for? Why did you say sorry to me? What did you do to my grandson?”
“I… I didn’t give birth to him.” I know that if I want Whitney to get rid of her obsession with the child, I just need to tell her that the child doesn’t exist at all.
Although she would feel sad and regretful, it would make her feel better than telling her that the baby was not Eugene’s.
“What did you say?” Sure enough, when she heard this, she almost fainted. She raised her hand and pointed at me with her trembling fingers. “You… Say it again! What did you do to the child? It’s Eugene’s child. Eugene has the only blood in the world. You are such a vicious woman. What did you do to the child?”
“It was an accident. The baby was gone. I didn’t mean it.” I’ll explain.
“An accident? How could it be an accident? The baby is so healthy and it’s so big in your belly. How could it be gone?” She still didn’t believe it.
At this time, Petra was worried that Whitney would be too sad and hurt her body. “Madamn, how are you feeling? Let me call the doctor.”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Whitney waved her hand, looking lifeless. “Help me upstairs to my room.”
Petra quickly helped Whitney up from the sofa and helped her upstairs.
Seeing this, I also stood up and wanted to help, but Petra gave me a look to stop.
My hand froze in the air. I didn’t dare to help Whitney.
I know in my heart that Whitney must be full of resentment against me at this time. If I get close to her, she will only be more annoyed.
After standing in the hall downstairs for a long time, Petra went downstairs f
Petra’s expression was a little complicated.
“Petra, how is she?” I asked worriedly.
She looked at me and sighed slightly, “Madam has been thinking about that baby grandson all these years, and she has also sent many private detectives to find the whereabouts of you, but we haven’t found any results. Today she met you, and she thought she could see her grandson, but she didn’t expect… If you were her, how would you feel?”
Hearing this, I lowered my head and said, “I’m sorry for her.”
” I’m sorry to ask you again. Is the baby really gone?” Obviously, Petra doesn’t believe me.
I shook my head and said nothing.
With a look of regret on her face, she said, “that’s really a pity. master is really not lucky. He died so miserably that year, and he was burnt like a piece of charcoal…”
“What are you talking about? Didn’t Eugene have a heart attack and passed away in time?” Petra’s words shocked me.
She frowned instantly. “You don’t know that master died because of the fire in his ward. Didn’t you go to the hospital to see master for the last time?”
“Fire? How could it be like this? I got a call from Sheila at that time. She told me that Eugene had passed away and hurried to the hospital. But before I arrived at the hospital, Sheila called me and asked me to go to the airport directly… She said that it was Eugene’s last words and asked me to go abroad right away.” I recalled what happened at that time. It’s a pity that I left in such a hurry that I didn’t see Eugene for the last time.
Why was it a fire?
How could such a hospital be on fire for no reason?
I can’t imagine what it was like at that time.
How painful it should be for a living person to be burned to death?
“You didn’t know that master was burnt to death? master is so pitiful that his whole body was burnt to ashes… Mrs. still refused to forgive President because of master’s death, so no matter how President begged her later, she refused to remarry him.” Petra was also surprised.
I was stunned there for a long time before I asked, “how did the fire start?”
Although Eugene told me that he couldn’t go out when he was in the hospital, his words implied that it was Edmund who wouldn’t let him go out of the hospital alive.
Did Edmund ask someone to set the fire?
I just had this idea and immediately denied it. No, Edmund is not that kind of person.
Eugene was his cousin. Even if they had nothing to do with each other, he wouldn’t have done such a cruel thing.
I know Edmund is a man of action, but he won’t be so mean.
That was a life!
How can I doubt him on this matter?
No, no, no
Hearing my question, Petra thought for a while and said, “the answer given by the hospital is that the device was out of circuit and caused the fire. As for the specific situation, I don’t know. I have to ask my lady about it. But I’m afraid that she doesn’t want to see you now. If you ask her about master again, it will be equivalent to revealing her scar…”
Of course, I’m not stupid enough to ask Whitney about the whole story. Looking at the sky outside, I said to Petra, “Petra, thank you for taking care of my mother-in-law. I can’t stay here any longer, so that she won’t be upset when she sees me downstairs.”
” please give me your phone number. I will try my best to persuade madam. Maybe she can contact you when she wants to see you one day.” She said as she handed her phone to me.
I took the phone and input my number. When I dialed, the phone in my bag rang.
” where do you live now? Since when are you so close to Miss Fisher?”
I don’t want Petra to guess the relationship between me and Myrna, so I said, “she is no longer a member of the King family. There was no conflict between us in the first place, and now we have a common friend, so we walked around. Today we went to the hospital to see that friend.”
“I see…”
“Well, Petra, I’m leaving now. I hope you can comfort my mother-in-law.”
Petra’s POV
“Take care.” I sent Leanna out of the door and watched her stop a taxi before turning back.
I went upstairs to the second floor and gently pushed open the door of the master bedroom. When I saw Mrs. Carla lying on the bed, her face was pale.
“She left?” When I came in, she looked up at me and asked.
I nodded, “let’s go. I left her phone number.”
“Do you think what she said is true or not? Is my grandson really gone?” She asked me with a gloomy and calm face.
I shook my head. “It’s hard to say. She looks really sad. It doesn’t seem to be false. But if the child is still alive, why did she lie to you? That’s the eldest grandson of the King family. By the way, there’s another strange thing.”
“What’s the matter?”
“She didn’t know master was burnt to death.”
“What? Didn’t she arrive at the hospital and meet Eugene for the last time before we went to the hospital?”
“She said that on the way, Sheila called her and said that master’s last words asked her to go straight to the airport. But it’s so strange. Wasn’t master burned to death? When the fire broke out, Sheila should not be by master’s side, or she wouldn’t be safe. Then how did the last words come from? master didn’t know that there would be a fire, but why did he say the last words?” I really can’t figure it out.
“Then there are only two possibilities. Sheila lied to her, or she lied to us. But if she knows that Eugene was burned to death, she shouldn’t pretend not to know.” “find Sheila for me right now. I want to ask her what happened in person.”
“Okay, I’ll ask someone to find a private detective and find Sheila.” I also know that Sheila is the key to this matter. Once we find her, we will know what she said to Leanna in the past. Then we will know what happened to Leanna when she left that year.
“Besides, find someone to keep an eye on Leanna and investigate where she lives and who she is with. If the child is still alive, as long as we follow her, we will definitely find the child.”
“Well, I see.” I immediately walked aside, picked up my phone and began to find someone to act according to her orders.
