"Kim, now, I know it's useless to say anything more. But I did that because I love you. I don't want to lose you, and I don't want to lose our marriage!" Linda knew that she had irritated her husband, so she had to bow her head and burst into tears. She stepped forward and held his arm. "Dear, I was wrong. Forgive me! She is dead. It's me who stayed with you for so many years. I'm managing this family for you. At least deserve credit for efforts! "
Madge begged in a hurry and cried, "Yes, dad, mom was still young at that time. If so, she just didn't want to lose our family! Please forgive mom! The dead have passed away, and the living people are the most important. Right?"
Although Wendy sneered in her heart and wanted to refute, she listened silently to Linda and Madge without saying a word because she knew that Kim would not easily be swayed.
As she expected, Kim threw off his wife's hand without mercy. His voice was slightly hoarse, with a sense of desolation after sorrow, but he was very determined. "There is no need to say more, I will never forgive you in my life! If I can, I even want you to repay Aubree's life!"
The last sentence was so gloomy.
Linda shivered and began to cry. "Honey.."
"Dad..." Madge's face was full of anxiety.
Kim turned around directly and didn't look at them anymore. Under the light, his backs were particularly cold.
Seeing that their daughter- in- law and granddaughter turned to look at him imploringly, Eduardo, who was sitting on the sofa, put down his crutch gently on the ground. He was also angry with his daughter-in-law. But now, he could only sigh and said, "Linda, let Madge take you home first!"
At this time, he didn't give any face to the order to let them go.
Linda wiped away her tears. Seeing that no one in the villa was willing to speak up for her, she knew that the fact had just been revealed and that it would not help no matter what she said. She could only give up and plan to bring her daughter home first before giving it further thought.
After all, the woman named Aubree was dead, but they were still alive. They had been married for so many years. Their daughter was already grown up, and she had already reached this age. She believed that when the anger in Kim's heart subsided, the love should be able to save the heart of his husband!
When Linda and Madge were ready to leave again, Wendy said again, "I have one more thing!"
Because this time Wendy walked quickly forward and blocked the path. Hence, Linda had no choice but to stop for the second time no matter how much she did not want to in her heart.
Wendy stared into her eyes tightly and directly asked the question that had been hidden in her heart for a long time. "Mrs. Gray, I am the daughter of the Gray family. Did you already know about it four years ago? Maybe it will be even earlier?"
In fact, she had asked the same question when Kim was seriously ill and hospitalized.
This time, Linda's reaction was much stronger than before. She was completely discomfited, and the expression on her face was almost ferocious. "Wendy, are you done yet?"
"I have confessed what happened just now. Your mother is dead, and she will not survive no matter how you investigate it! Now you say it again, do you have any evidence? Who can prove it to you? You were not born at that time, and you can be against me endlessly?" Wendy bit her lips in silence.
This time, she was really speechless. Just like the last time in the hospital, she was just probingly asking. But based on her intuition, she didn't find any reliable traces, let alone any actual evidence.
Faced with Linda's solemn refusal, she had no choice but to move away.
"I can prove it!"
"Brother, I'm sorry! I'm really sorry, and I didn't expect it to be like this either!" Jazmin's eyes were also red with tears, but all were due to guilt and remorse. "After you two broke up, although I had doubts about it, I heard that she was soon married. I thought this had already confirmed the fact that she had betrayed you... Not until some time ago you were seriously ill and then in the hospital, a daughter came out of nowhere and gave you parental liver transplantation. I realized that I was wrong all those years ago. That child was your blood and bone! Brother, I'm sorry, I'm terribly sorry about you and Aubree. I'm sorry about you both. Father learned of your illness and immediately returned from the United States. But I didn't dare to come back because I was too guilty to see you!"
At that time, Jazmin was still young and didn't know a lot of things. Kim studied abroad all the year round, and he might only come back once or twice a year.
When Aubree was pregnant, Kim had not returned to the country for more than half a year. She naturally thought that Aubree had betrayed her brother. However, she did not know that during this period, Kim had worked part- time to save money to mail back to China, so that her beloved one could go to the U.S to meet each other...
Wrong, wrong, all wrong!
Jazmin sat down on the sofa and covered her face with her hands in pain. She was so regretful that she burst into tears.
It was true that she was too ashamed to meet Kim.
When she ruined her brother's happiness, Jazmin didn't know how to face it. Only she knew how ashamed she was when she first heard Wendy calling her aunt. However, she never mentioned a word. Because she was selfish, she was afraid that Kim would hate her...
But just now when she learned that Linda actually went to meet and force Aubree to die after they got married, she couldn't keep herself quiet anymore!
Bang! Everyone was stunned!
In addition to being shocked, Wendy finally realized why she felt Jazmin had been hiding something from her.
