Both of them turned around and went out. They sat down on a bench outside the prison.
Eudora George hadnât seen Laura Westin for a long time. She looked much older ever since her son was imprisoned.
A lot of things had happened in the past, but now it seemed to matter very little. They could not help but sigh.
âGo ahead and ask. Donât keep me from meeting my son.â
At that, Eudora asked, âDo you know who Fae is?â
âOf course I know who she is!â Laura answered. âFae isâ¦â She paused for a moment and asked, âWhy are you suddenly asking this?â
âWell, you donât say it if you donât want to!â With those words, Eudora got up to leave.
Laura hurriedly grabbed her. She was really afraid that Eudora would make her sonâs life in the prison even more difficult.
âFae was a friend of Felixâs and also his childhood sweetheart. They had a very good relationship when they were younger. I liked Fae very much so Faeâs parents and I made a decision. They would get married in the future when they were both older. Later on, when Fae was about seven or eight years old, she and her parents moved abroad, and never came back.
Eudora was stunned. âWhat do you mean by never came back?â
Laura nodded. âShe died. And I heard that she died in a horrible way. She was kidnapped by a psycho. She was imprisoned in a basement and she was abused for half a month. When she was finally rescued, she passed away.â
Lauraâs expression remained calm, but the fear in her eyes did not diminish.
However, the sound of a whip cracking suddenly resonated in her mind for no reason. Eudora subconsciously closed her eyes and placed her hand over her beating heart.
Recently, she seemed to think of this scene often.
âSo⦠do I know Fae?â Eudora asked.
Laura shook her head. âHow would I know?â
Laura didnât know? Then why did Felix say that she had killed Fae?
As the conversation ended, Eudora got up and was about to leave. Laura stopped her, âCan you tell Amos Granger to let our Felix go? After all, you were once Felixâs wife.
Eudora was surprised. âDid Felix ever see me as his wife?â
Laura went silent.
After Eudora left the prison, she quietly went back to the George Family. Gordon George was in the yard, basking in the sun. He was very surprised when he saw her.
âEudora, youâre back?â
Eudora glanced at him. It hadnât been long since she last saw him, but now he was sitting in a wheelchair.
Seeing her glance at the wheelchair, Gordon said, âItâs just a small matter, donât worry about it.â
âIâm not worried.â Eudora began awkwardly, before asking, âI want to ask you something.â
âWhat is it?â
âHave I ever been to the United States when I was a child?â
Hearing this, Gordon was stunned and said hurriedly, âNo.â
âReally?â Eudora was suspicious. She felt that Gordonâs demeanour had suddenly turned strange.
âOf course not!â This time, Gordon spoke with certainty, âWhy are you asking this? Who told you that?â
âNo one.â Eudora said, âIâm going upstairs to see Mom.â
Although Eudoraâs mother had passed away, Gordon wasnât that ruthless to rid everything of hers. He still kept her former room in the house.
As Eudora pushed the door of the room open, she recalled the times when she was a child. Whenever she was tired of playing in the garden, she would walk barefoot upstairs, after stepping in mud and water. Her father would be scolding her as he followed after her.
âMy little princessâ¦â
And her mother would come towards her from the room with a displeased look on her face. Seeing her feet, she would frown.
âWhy are they dirty? Come on, Iâll wash them for you.â
Thinking of that, Eudora let out a sigh. There was a closet by the wall, and in it were all the things that her mother had left behind. Eudora casually searched through them but found nothing.
Indeed, after her mother had passed away, she had looked at these things for over a thousand times. If there was anything, she would have discovered it long ago.
She was over-thinking things!
After saying goodbye to her motherâs photo, Eudora turned around and left.
As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw Kesha George blocking her way.
âEudora, why are you back?â
Eudora had already read the reports in the paper, and had a general understanding of Keshaâs current situation, and she had no sympathy for her at all.
âThis is my own home, why canât I come back?â
âDonât call it your home. My mother is the current Lady of this house, and she hasnât approved you. What right do you have to say that this is your home?
Eudora coldly replied, âKesha, it seems you havenât learnt your lesson, have you?â
Just as the two of them were about to quarrel, Felicia Maurice suddenly appeared from downstairs.
âKesha, why are you talking to your sister? Go back to your room!â
Kesha pursed her lips and said, âMom, youâre always taking her side.â
âGo back to your room!â Felicia scolded. She turned around and looked at Eudora. âYou havenât been back for such a long time, and youâve lost a lot of weight. The last time I saw you, you were in the hospital. Are you feeling better?â
Eudora couldnât stand Feliciaâs hypocritical attitude. She couldnât help but snap at her.
âI thought that you would be visiting me. I waited for a few days, but you never showed up.â
The smile on Feliciaâs face froze. Only then did Eudora turn around and head downstairs.
After Eudora left, Kesha impatiently glanced at Felicia, âLook at that! I knew she wouldnât appreciate it!â
Felicia bit her lips, and her expression turned serious for a second.
âYou stubborn girl, you knew clearly that she doesnât want to see us. Why do you still keep bothering her?â
âIâm bothering her?â Kesha gritted her teeth. âWhose mother are you?â
Kesha pushed Felicia away and ran off.
Felicia clenched her fists and thought to herself, âKesha doesnât know Iâm doing all these for her own good!â
â¦â¦
After Kesha ran out, she spent the rest of the night at a bar. The next day, she went to Wendyâs office drunk.
When Wendy Liam saw her, she was annoyed and felt a burst of anger.
âDidnât I tell you to take a break?â
Kesha, who was drunk, didnât notice that Wendy was unhappy. She found a sofa to lie down on and began to gather her scattered thoughts.
âWendy, Iâm coming to realize that Eudora is not as good a person as you are. She is like a dog at Mr. Grangerâs side. When he no longer cares for her, he will dump her!â
Her rants made Wendy feel a lot better. She got up and walked over.
âWhatâs wrong? Did you quarrel with your sister again?â
âWhat quarrel? She asked for it! Every time she returns, she causes trouble. She regards herself as the first daughter. Donât you think this is ridiculous?â
âIt canât be that serious, can it? After all, your sister really is the first daughter.â
âWhat first daughter? Do you know what that b*tch came back and did yesterday?â
âWhat did she do?â Wendy asked.
âShe asked my father whether sheâs ever been to the United States before! Iâm going to laugh myself to death. Shouldnât she know best whether she had ever been to the United States before? Why is she asking others? Sheâs making it as if she would be better if she had been to the United States before!â
Hearing this, Wendy was stunned. âWhy would she ask that?â
