Chapter 1124 I Forgot
“This world has no regrets,” Lucia’s eyes sank as she absentmindedly played with Arthur’s fingers and whispered, “Just like Poppy, even if she repents, the outcome remains the same.”
Knowing that Lucia was thinking of Poppy again, he reached out and hugged her soft body tightly, silently comforting her grief.
After leaving Arthur’s house, Nia drove slowly on the road. Lucia’s answer did not ease her mind but instead added layers of resentment and anger. Actually, all she needed to do was tell Lucia the truth about Casper’s real identity. Then Lucia would naturally take care of it. But Nia also hated Lucia and wasn’t willing to help her seek revenge easily.
The path with Lauren didn’t work out while this one with Lucia was blocked too. Nia felt lost as she aimlessly drove back to their small villa where Kevin greeted her at the door.
“Nia! Where did you go?!”
Nia gave Kevin a lazy glance before dragging herself over to collapse heavily on the sofa.
“Did you go question Lauren?” Kevin asked worriedly after following behind.
“I didn’t just question him. I went to Arthur’s house too,” Nia said with lowered eyes.
“What?!” Kevin exclaimed in surprise as his face changed color. He knew that Nia could be impulsive but never thought that she would dare go to Arthur’s house.
Thinking about what Lucia had said earlier made Nia clench her teeth before saying,
“It was Lucia who saved Casper! Can you believe it?!”
Kevin wasn’t surprised by this revelation; he simply said calmly, “It really is her…”
Nia furrowed her brows, “You don’t seem surprised at all?”
“Lucia doesn’t know Casper’s true identity yet; she won’t let him die,” Kevin explained candidly like how Lucia had earlier on done so too.
Nia pounded on the sofa in frustration while growling lowly,
“This is so unfair! We were so close!”
“Well… actually we can just tell Lucia everything then…”
Nina immediately interrupted Kevin’s suggestion saying firmly,
“No way! Jacob is our trump card for threatening Lucia. Once Jacob is gone, then we will be next in line for retribution from them! Fighting against Casper has already put us in a tight spot not forgetting Webbex Group and Davonnis Corp which are two major groups’ strength combined together. Hence, why we need a solution that can get rid of Casper while still keeping our trump card.”
Kevin fell silent for a moment upon hearing Nia’s words before suddenly his eyebrows danced around excitedly as he leaned closer towards Nia. Whispering a name into Nia’s ear caused her eyes sparkle instantly.
“Yes! How did I forget her!”
After entering April, although the weather was already warm at noon, the temperature difference between morning and evening was huge. Everyone was racking their brains about what kind of clothes to wear every day, but this did not affect the vitality brought by the recovery of all things. Under the sun, because of this vitality, everyone was yearning for the future.
Standing in the corridor of the hospital, Libby looked at the small courtyard between the inpatient department and the inpatient department, and couldn’t help but mutter,
“It’s raining again… I don’t know if they wear enough clothes…”This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
The needle-like drizzle fell from the sky, nourishing everything. At this time, Libby, who was in Tieland for treatment, could not help but miss her husband and son.
In fact, Libby was very confused. As early as the new year, she had consulted the doctor recommended by Dr. Anderson. He made it clear that she could go home after half a month of treatment, and she just needed to rest. But when she told her husband the good news, he suggested that she stay in Tieland to receive follow-up treatment from the doctor, and not tell their son about this.
Libby was by no means an ignorant person, not to mention that she knew Miles well, and she faintly sensed that her husband did not want her to return to Athegate.
But why?
Libby’s mood was agitated, and the rain outside made her mood even more heavy.
“Mrs. Wood, long time no see.” Just when Libby was depressed, a familiar voice sounded beside her. She suddenly turned her head and saw Nia looking at her with a smile on her face.
Nia actually appeared here, and Libby didn’t know how to respond.
“It’s really not easy to find you.” Nia didn’t seem to feel any embarrassment about her rash appearance. She calmly stood beside Libby and said,
“Tieland, this place is indeed far enough away.”
To Nia, Libby couldn’t show any friendly looks. No matter what her son did, as a mother, she would stand by his side, so she gave Nia a cold look, and asked displeasedly,
“Miss Davidson, are you looking for me?”
“Is it convenient for you? I want to talk to you about something.”
Coming all the way from Athegate, what Nia wanted to talk about was not just “something”, right? Libby’s mind was very clear. Although she didn’t want to see Nia, she still brought her back to her ward.
Libby’s ward was a single room. The layout was not luxurious, but it was simple and clean. Nia looked around and said with a smile,
“Do you ever feel trapped living here, Mrs. Wood?” Nia asked, taking a seat without hesitation as Libby’s face darkened.
“This is a hospital,” Libby replied curtly.
Nia chuckled, her intentions unclear as she continued to make herself comfortable.
“What brings you here to see me? I have treatment scheduled for three o’clock.”
Libby couldn’t help but feel irritated by Nia’s presence and sternly replied, “If you have something to say, then say it. Otherwise, I’ll have someone escort you out.”
Nia remained unfazed by the threat and continued with her indirect approach. “You seem to be in good spirits despite being hospitalized. Why are you still here?”
Her words struck a chord with Libby who fell silent.
Nia relished in the power of controlling others’ emotions and pressed on with her agenda. “Have you thought about what we discussed last time? Do you ever suspect your son isn’t really your son anymore?”
“What do you mean?” Libby exclaimed defensively.
“Think about it,” Nia smirked slyly.
