However, at that moment…No! No one would find out about that incident! She had done everything seamlessly! Even Everly thought that her child died. How could Carson find out about it! No! "Let me out! You can't lock me here! I have the right to be free! This is against the law!"Layla's eyes were shifty. She shoved Robbie aside, trying to escape, but Robbie could not be bothered with her.Just when Layla was about to escape once again…"Mr. Baxter!" Robbie and the bodyguards greeted respectfully.Carson entered and looked down at Layla condescendingly."Carson!" Layla quickly ran over and hugged Carson's arms. "Carson, do something! They humiliated me just now. He actually dared to…uh…"Before Layla could finish her sentence, Carson grabbed her by the neck and violently pinned her to the wall."Carson…" Layla was frightened, but she pretended to be shocked and had a pitiful look."Whose child is Oliver? Tell me!" Carson rebuked coldly.Layla immediately started crying.
"No!" Layla screamed. However, Robbie had already turned around and personally headed to the nursing home to oversee the DNA match, leaving Layla screaming non-stop.Carson looked at the lunatic woman in front of him, yet there was only Everly's calm face on his mind."Carson…" Layla immediately crawled over to him while crying. "Carson, don't believe him! He must have been bought off!"Carson, I have been living alone abroad all these years, living every single moment in fear. I think of you and Oliver every waking moment. I don't dare to return because I'm afraid that Everly would treat me like before…"Carson, you have to believe me! I have sacrificed so much for you! I was pregnant for ten months, giving birth to Oliver! You cannot be swayed by just a few sentences from others!"Layla was getting more and more hysterical with every sentence. Carson's heart hurt a little more every passing moment.It was not because of Layla but because of Everly. Layla was crying spritely rig
Before Layla could finish her sentence, Carson kicked her to the side.Layla lifted her head. She wanted to speak when she noticed Carson's furious glares."Carson…" Layla's panic had reached its peak."Don't treat everyone as fools. I was a fool to be tricked by you four years ago. Now…" Carson squinted his eyes dangerously. His eyes were cold and filled with murderous intent. He said, "Enjoy what you once did to her!""Car…""Robbie!" Carson had not an ounce of pity for Layla. He looked at Robbie."Yes, sir!" Robbie instantly understood what Carson meant."No…Carson, what are you going to do to me? Oliver, Oliver, look at your mother…"Layla wanted to rush forward once again, but Carson had already strode away with Oliver in his arms."Layla White, there is no use calling out. Just like what Mr. Baxter said. Today onward, you will get a taste of what you once did to Ms. Pettis. I will personally oversee it. I will make sure that nothing will be missed! It will be paid back t
He remembered.It was the day after her college entrance examination. She called him around noon that day and asked him to pick her up at night.At that time, she said that she wanted him to be the one staying beside her when the old stage of life ended, and the new stage started.He was already twenty-five years old back then, seven years older than she was. The college entrance examination was already a long-gone history for him. He thought her childish request was funny, but he agreed to it.The photo was taken by her friend at that time, and she was very beautiful in the photo.Honk, honk.The red light had turned green, and the cars behind were constantly honking.The sound of the honking pulled Carson out from his memory. He looked up at Oliver, who was holding a small mobile phone. He said hoarsely, “Where did you find this photo?”Oliver put down his two chubby hands. He looked at him and said sternly, “There is a room at home that has been locked all the time. That da
“They are attempting to bring her back, but her heartbeat has stopped, I’m not sure…”Carson had not heard what the butler said. He stomped on the accelerator pedal to the max, and all the dials on the dashboard hit the maximum. He rushed to the hospital at the fastest speed.“Screech!”He hurriedly parked the car outside the hospital and rushed to her ward with Oliver in his arms.Surrounded by passers-by, he got more and more anxious.“Sir!”The butler rushed over with red eyes and took Oliver from his arms.Carson’s lips were pressed tightly, and he went directly toward the ward.“Ready, again!” The doctor held a pair of defibrillators in his hand, facing Everly’s chest.Bang!After she bounced, she fell back to silence.Beep!The heart rate monitor on the side had been screaming incessantly, bringing signs of despair.“Ready, again…”Her body was heaved up and sank repeatedly.He could only watch the situation inside through the gap in the door of the ward.It was a
Outside the ward, the butler and Austin's eyes reddened as well.“Sir…” the butler murmured softly.He had never seen the young master like this. The whole world seemed to have undergone a somersault of changes in the past few days. He had not dared to think about the future… how the young master would live his life.In the ward next door.Oliver looked at the photo of Everly on the phone, and the corners of his mouth rose.“Mom,” he called softly, with anticipation in his eyes.…Everly died.Carson took everything to his own hand, from signing the documents to handling the after-death business.“Sir, the previous process of restoring Miss Pettis’s identity had been canceled,” the butler said to Carson respectfully.After learning that Everly was still alive, it did not take long for him to ask the butler to restore her identity, but in the end, it was useless since she had already passed away.“Yeah,” he replied without saying too much.“Sir, you can’t go on like this. Yo
The butler, standing on the side, kept wiping away his tears. Seeing that Carson had comforted Oliver, he asked the maid to take Oliver aside to play. He hesitated a little, and finally, he took out the tablet and handed it to Carson.“Sir, when I was sorting out all the follow-ups for Miss Pettis’s hospitalization, I found this…”Carson took the tablet and clicked the play button.“Actually, before Miss Pettis passed away, she woke up for a while. I’m sorry. At that time, I was discussing the follow-up treatments with the doctor, so I had not noticed it,” the butler said guiltily.Carson’s eyes were only fixed on the screen, watching the video.In the video, Everly walked out of bed barefooted, wearing only a thin hospital gown.She opened the balcony door and walked out slowly.The cold air blew her hair, but she seemed to feel nothing.She stood on the balcony, looking at the white snow all over the world. Her fragile body could not give a feminine outline to the hospital go
After a long time, he opened his mouth.“You already knew.” The butler nodded with red eyes. “Yes.”It seemed that he had started the topic, and the butler wiped away his tears before saying, “There are always a lot of women around you, Sir, but the ones you allow to stay by your side all share an extent of similarity to Miss Pettis…”“Even the gifts that you gave them are the things that Miss Pettis likes. Sir, maybe you didn’t realize it yourself, but you’ve always made them dress up like Miss Pettis. You never care about what they like. You’re always searching for Miss Petti’s shadows. From the beginning to the end… Sir, the person that you’re looking for, has always been Miss Pettis.”“Sir, although there are many women around you, you’re only really happy when you’re with Miss Pettis.”Carson looked at Layla’s photo on the document. He then realized that he had long forgotten what Layla looked like. The person he remembered was Everly from the beginning to the end.The per
