Chapter 115 I Can Fix It Elva widened her eyes. When did Emily open the recording? Elva was trembling with panic, her eyes fixed on Claudia without blinking. “How could Mom have recorded it?” Waldron furrowed his brows and looked at Elva. “Is there something wrong with the conversation you had?” Elva’s lips trembled, and her heart pounded fiercely. A wave of despair and humiliation surged up in my heart. Why did she record it? Because Emily didn’t believe her, she had already planned to keep the evidence from the beginning. She really wanted to send herself to prison, without any hesitation. The slight sense of guilt in Elva’s heart completely dissipated. Emily did not consider herself as her own, and she even resorted to such tactics! Looking at the over forty-minute recording, Elva’s face turned pale. “It might have been pressed accidentally,” Derrick looked at Elva, seeing her head down and looking upset, he pursed his lips. He also wanted to know why his mother recorded their conversations. Waldron quickly grabbed the phone and said, “Let’s just listen and see 0.00% 11:56 what Mom recorded.” He pressed the play button. Elva’s body felt as if all her blood had been drained, and her heart stopped suddenly. Just when she thought she couldn’t hide it any longer, Waldron’s complaining voice rang out, “What’s wrong? It won’t turn on, this phone is broken.” He pressed other keys again, but still nothing happened.
“It must have been broken,” Claudia sighed softly, looking thoughtfully at her phone. “Give it to me, I can fix it.” Waldron gave her the phone. Elva’s heart finally relaxed, and she let out a gentle sigh. *** Early the next morning. At the Lamont’s manor, Edmond grabbed a coat and headed outside, but Cicely stopped him with Abel.
“Where are you going?” Cicely’s face looked very unpleasant. “Reporters, media friends, they are all waiting for your response.’ “Go to the hospital,” Edmond said, his expression unchanged, and continued walking away. Abel stood in front of him. Looking at this little person, Edmond’s pupils deepened a bit. Abel timidly shrunk his neck when he met Edmond’s dark pupils, and 13.49% 11:56 asked, “Dad, are you going to find Claudia?” From the argument between his mother and him yesterday, he realized that his father didn’t actually like his mother at all. Edmond remained silent, but Cicely, upon hearing these words, reacted angrily and shouted, “Edmond, what on earth do you want to do?” “Don’t forget that you were Abel’s father now, Claudia is no longer your wife. She is carrying someone else’s child, and everything between you two is over!” “The word ‘end’ pierced into his heart like a knife.” Thinking about what Horace said, Edmond’s face grew even colder. “Edmond, have you forgotten that you previously said you would marry Rosalie?” Cicely’s expression also turned cold. “Before, I thought it didn’t matter whether you married Rosalie or not, but now it
seems that I was too naive. In order to prevent you from becoming the father of Claudia’s child after I die, you should still marry Rosalie.” Instead of letting someone else raise the child, it is better to let him marry Abel’s mother, so that Abel can also have a legitimate status. Anyway, Rosalie was Abel’s biological mother, which was better than Claudia, who was pregnant with someone unknown’s illegitimate child. Marry Rosalie? Edmond frowned slightly, “I wouldn’t marry her.” “Not getting married?” Cicely suddenly laughed, “I remember a month ago you were so determined to marry her, why don’t you want to marry her now?” 26.62% 11:56 “What about you? You were so adamant before, insisting that I should be with Claudia, and now you’re trying to set me up with Rosalie?” Cicely’s face suddenly changed color. Edmond glanced at Abel, smiling with a deep meaning, but with a hint of coldness at the corner of his lips. “Regardless of whether I married Rosalie or Claudia, when have you ever truly considered me?” “Did you really consider me as your son?” Cicely was startled and stared at him blankly. Cicely’s heart sank as she noticed the desolate look in Edmond’s eyes. Edmond’s words tore apart the darkest mask she had worn for so many years. It is said that two children can carry a bowl of water evenly, but she knew that she had never carried it evenly. Her favorite child was Tristen, and always had been. Edmond also knew.
Not only she, but also her own husband liked Tristen the most. Edmond was a marginalized figure in the Lamont family, as the heir of the Lamont family had always been Tristen. She realized how biased she had been all these years only when she knew she didn’t have much time left. However, she never expected that Tristen had another child. Tristen is gone, if they want to trace his lineage, they can only make 44 10% 11:56 40 Vouchers Edmond acknowledge Abel. She was selfish, and had been selfish her whole life, and she didn’t care to continue being selfish. “I was biased, but Edmond, you have now become the heir of the Lamont family,” Cicely turned her face away and said coldly, “You have received what you deserve.” What should have been obtained has been obtained… Edmond lowered his brows and sneered, that was not what he wanted at all. Edmond’s lips curled in a slight mockery as he continued walking away. Abel watched as he got closer and closer to him, and suddenly asked, “Dad, will Mom go to jail?” Edmond stood still, and Cicely quickly hugged Abel and said, “No, your mother didn’t go to jail. She has already been released and will never go back in again.” Thinking about the child’s future, Cicely felt extremely sorry. Dad passed away, and mom was burdened with a lawsuit again. Education became a problem afterwards. Abel thought about what his mother had done, his pupils trembled, and he buried himself in Cicely’s arms like an ostrich. After all, he was just a five-year-old child who had never seen such brutality before. That scene
remained etched in his mind. His mother, surprisingly, was a bad person. 11.56 Abel blinked his eyes, and tears of fear filled his face. Cicely didn’t think much about it and assumed that he had heard some rumors, so she kept comforting him. Edmond frowned as he looked at Abel. He knew that Abel was afraid of him, as a member of the Lamont family, there were some things he should also know. “Wait for me to come back.” He forced a smile toward Abel, took big strides and walked away. Cicely shouted from behind, but he pretended not to hear. In the hospital, the door of the intensive care unit finally opened. The people waiting outside rushed forward. The doctor walked out with a tired face and said, “The patient is not in immediate danger.” Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, especially Thomas, whose pale face finally regained some color. Elva, sitting in a wheelchair, clenched her hands tightly. However, the doctor’s next sentence made everyone’s heart drop. “But you should be prepared, the patient might also be difficult to wake up.” “What does it mean?” Ervin, who is usually calm, couldn’t help but change his expression. “We did our best to save her life, but the patient suffered severe head injuries and is now essentially in a vegetative state.” Vegetative state! Everyone’s face changed dramatically, especially Thomas. He immediately felt weak in the knees and fainted. “Dad!”
43 Soon, chaos ensued outside the operating room. Claudia’s eyes blurred, and her chest ached so much that she couldn’t breathe. Finally found my mother, but before I could fulfill my filial duty, things turned out like this. She leaned against the wall, biting her tongue hard, just to prevent herself from fainting. Elva heard the news and felt a burst of joy in her heart. In her heart, she didn’t want Emily to die for real, but if she could become a vegetable, that would be the best outcome. Just then, the phone vibrated. She took out her phone and saw the message on it, her face stiffened. The message was sent by Sheldon: “I heard that Mrs. Friedan went to the hospital, and your mom is worried that you must come to see you.”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
