Chapter 17

ผู้เขียน: Sequora
Once the facade was gone, Renee was faced with the harsh reality.

It made her body tremble.

Not far away, Jasper and Luke had taken in the entire scene.

Luke clicked his tongue and let out a long sigh. "I feel bad for Ms. Whitley. First, that car accident in the middle of the night, and no one gave a damn. Now she nearly dies in the ocean, and her husband hits her on top of that."

Jasper stood tall, hands in his pockets, eyes dark and deep as he stared at the woman leaning against the wall. His brows furrowed slightly.

"Look into what happened today."

"Yes, sir." Luke nodded.

Even without the order, he would have looked into it himself. After all, Seraph Island was part of the Zeller family's assets. If this turned into a criminal case, it could seriously affect the island's income.

Jasper turned and walked toward the elevator on the other side. He added coldly, "Seraph Island could use some cleaning up."

"Understood." Luke immediately pulled out his phone and began issuing in

    The nurse nodded. "Okay."After she left, Renee sat beside Emma's bed, holding her hand nervously.Everything about today had been strange, but if there was a direct cause, it had to be Martin's presence.So what secrets was that man keeping? And since her mother knew Martin's secrets, why would she hate him so much and snap whenever she saw him?There were just so many questions that it hurt Renee's brain to think, not to mention that she was completely deflated after Jasper's death and couldn't pull herself together at all.For some reason, she felt like she was caught in a web that stretched across the world, and there was no escape, suffocating her.As she held her mother's hand and remembered the way she snapped, she then remembered she saying that the IV was poisoned.Her eyes widened in realization—her mother was sending her a message!Even as she looked up sharply at the dangling IV bottle, her heart skipped a beat.Was there something else in the bottle?She felt a c

    Renee just couldn't understand why, be it in the past or in the present."What happened back then must have overwhelmed her." Martin sighed in regret. "It's all my fault. I owe her."Then, looking up and into her eyes, he finished, "It's late—you should go home. I'll stay."Renee's heart skipped a beat as her worst fear came true.Hanging her head to make herself look unhappy, she sniffled, "No, I'll stay with Mom… I've been through a lot lately, and I'd like to stay with her.""Oh, silly. I know you're grieving, that's why I'm telling you to go home and get some rest… Or how about a hotel room?""No, I wouldn't be able to fall asleep anyway." Renee sighed, holding Martin's gaze with her tearful eyes. "I've been insomniac—just let me sleep here." Seeing that she was determined, Martin didn't argue. "Alright, then I'm going now—I'll be back tomorrow morning.""Okay," Renee replied and walked him out to the parking lot.When she returned, she closed the front door and rushed to

    Renee put her phone on speaker and put it on the table. "Yvie, I have good news!""Really? What is it?""My dad! He came back!""Your dad?!" Yvie gasped in feigned surprise. "Are you okay? Your dad's been gone for so long. There's no way, right?""It's the truth!" Renee insisted, turning to Martin. "Come on, Dad! Tell Yvie, or she won't believe me!"Martin's expression stiffened, and he was about to reach for the phone when she held it down."Just leave it there—I'd like to hear how Yvie reacts," she said with a smile.Unable to argue, Martin hence spoke, "Yvie? It's me, Martin. I'm really back."Hearing the familiar voice, Yvie gasped in disbelief again and snapped, "That's impossible! I watched Martin die—there's no way he's still alive! Who are you?! Don't lie to me, or I'll call the cops!"Renee quickly seized the moment. "Go on, Dad! Tell Yvie everything that happened to you, or she won't believe you."Martin's expression stiffened more than before, but he said, "Oh, you

    Renee's eyes were moist with tears as she nodded. "Yeah, she always has been… I just came from the office, and she was sedated when I got here. I've been waiting for her to wake up."It was a half-truth, but Martin suspected nothing as he kept tabs on Evergreen.Straightening Renee's disheveled hair, he breathed a long sigh. "All those years have been hard on you…"Renee's eyes were moist with tears, and she shook her head. "As long as you come back to us. What actually happened?""Well, it's a long story," Martin replied, glancing at Emma who was still asleep.After the medical staff left, he led Renee to the couch and sat down. "The body in the accident was a close friend's. I was still alive, but the other driver was trying to kill me. He would have succeeded if the cops weren't on their way, so he dragged me into his car instead before dumping me into the ocean."I was lucky. I have no idea how long I had been adrift, but a fisherman had saved me when I woke up. I also lost m

    As Martin repeated himself, Renee couldn't say no this time because she didn't want to show her doubt about the man too clearly.Shaking her head, she forced a smile and said, "No, I'm just having trouble taking it all in… What happened, Dad? Where have you been? Why are you back now?"She was still caught in the anguish of Jasper's death, and her tears dropped easily with just a tinge of emotion.Seeing how miserably she was sobbing, Martin smiled as he reached up to wipe her tears while smiling. "Oh, silly—why are you crying? We're back together, and that's good, isn't it? Come in, let's take a look at your mom."As he still held Renee's hand, he led her into the living area.Every room in Evergreen Care Center had a living area just like an apartment, which was only fitting for a place that charged 200 grand each month.As they entered and saw the woman on the couch, Martin promptly called out, "Emma? Is it really you? Oh, I finally found you!"He hurried to the couch, sittin

    Emma held Renee in turn and gently patted her back.She had no idea who was gone but had a vague guess seeing how miserably Renee was crying.Having never seen Renee crying so miserably before, it hurt her heart so much to see that."It's alright. Just let it out—you'll feel better," she said.Renee really threw herself into Emma's arms and started wailing just then, aggrieved by the reality of Jasper's death and all the misery she had suffered over the years.As her emotional dam burst, everything came crashing out all at once.There was no telling how long she cried, but she eventually calmed down and returned to the couch.Emma wiped her tears with some tissues, as if she were a child again.While Renee was still reeling from agony, she suddenly remembered that Emma was keeping a lot of things from her and quickly composed herself.Wiping the tears off her cheek, she asked, "You had something to tell me, didn't you? About dad…"Thud, thud."I'll get it."Renee was cut of
