Chapter 693: Chapter 693 As If It Were Yesterday

Eudora and Amos arrived at the address given by Gordon ten minutes after.

It was a mediocre residential area. Eudora had arranged a nice sanatorium for Gordon previously, but he moved out of that place because of Kesha.

It was the first time Eudora realized that Gordon was living here.

The alley was very dark, and there was a strange smell in the air.

Eudora and Amos quickly walked in, and they finally found the place that matched Gordon’s description.

They knocked on the door, and soon, Gordon opened the door.

His eyes were dull, but they immediately brightened up when he saw Eudora.

“Eudora, hurry. Kesha has been waiting for you.”

Eudora was curious. Didn’t Kesha hate her? Why did she still ask her when she was in such a terrible state?

Following Gordon’s instructions, Eudora finally saw Kesha for the last time.

Yes, it was the last time.

Kesha was lying on a single bed against the window. She was looking out of the window at a broken flower pot.

There was nothing left in the flower pot. There was only a blade of wild grass growing out of the remaining soil.

Kesha looked at it for a while and suddenly reached out. She heard footsteps just as she was about to touch the broken flower pot.

She turned around, revealing her own face without any makeup.

She used to be an adorable child, especially the time before she started going to school.

Back then, she used to be Eudora’s fangirl.

Whenever Eudora came back from school, Kesha would follow her around eagerly. She wanted to read the books that Eudora had, and she wanted to play games with her.

At first, Eudora was hostile towards her.

However, she gradually became more open-minded. Whenever she was in a good mood, she would even go the distance to buy delicious snacks for Kesha.

At that time, Eudora regarded Kesha as her adorable younger sister. However, when she returned home one day, Kesha became a completely different person.

She had bought Kesha’s favorite honey kebabs that day.

She wanted to give her a surprise.

She opened the door, and she heard Kesha asking Felicia in a fit of rage, “Why is there an outsider in our family? Why did Dad treat her so well? He was not that nice to me! I don’t like both her and Dad!”

Eudora did not hear Felicia’s answer. She could feel her heart being crushed.

It turned out that the person closest to her had only treated her as an outsider.

She finished the honey kebabs herself in tears. From then on, she never treated Kesha well again.

From that day on, Kesha gradually revealed her true colors and became her rival.

She stole everything from Eudora ever since she was young.

She even tried to steal someone as trashy as Felix.

Eudora smiled mockingly.

Kesha’s weak voice rang in her ears. “Eudora, you’re here.”

Eudora stood by her bed and asked, “What do you want to say to me?”

Kesha shook her head. “Eudora, look at that flower pot. Do you remember? We used to plant trees together when we were young.”

It was a long time after their initial fallout that they planted those trees together. By then, they were no longer sisters, but rivals.

Kesha said some harsh words to Eudora even while they were planting those trees.

“My tress will grow to be better than yours!”

Eudora couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to her. Back then, Kesha’s trees wilted soon after. As for Eudora’s tree, it was personally plucked out by Kesha.

Eudora replied coldly, “Oh, weren’t you the one who plucked mine out?”

Kesha paused. All of a sudden, she looked at Eudora with guilt in her eyes.

“If I were to say that it was only because I tried to straighten the tree as it had become crooked, but I had accidentally damaged its roots in the process, would you believe me?”

Eudora pursed her lips and did not reply.

Kesha sighed. “Forget it, Eudora. Let’s make up, okay? I don’t want to fight with you anymore. I have made a lot of mistakes in the past. I know that my actions are unforgivable, and I have hurt you over and over again. But now, I am dying, and my words are kind when I am about to die. I don’t want to live with resentment anymore in my next life. Eudora, could you please forgive me?”

It turned out that she was here to seek forgiveness!

Eudora pursed her lips. She wasn’t a cruel person, but, she wasn’t a merciful person either.

No matter what the reason was, it was true that Kesha had hurt her and the people around her all these years.

Eudora whispered, “I don’t hate you, but I won’t forgive you either.”

Kesha’s gaze fell.

Eudora turned around to leave, but Kesha immediately shouted, “Eudora, if you trust me, you’d better pay attention to the people around you. The Holt Family isn’t as simple as you think. You have to protect yourself well…”

Eudora froze before turning around to look back at Kesha. “What do you know?”

Kesha shook her head. “I don’t know anything, and I don’t know much about Fabian. However, I know that there is a person who has been secretly contacting Fabian. That person is the real leader of the organization…”

Eudora was about to probe, but Kesha was already having a hard time breathing.

Gordon ran over in a hurry and grabbed Kesha’s hand.

“Kesha, does it hurt? Go, if you must. I don’t want to see you suffer so much!”

Kesha smiled at Gordon. “Dad, I’m sorry. I’m so unfilial. I killed my mother with my own hands. I’ve failed to become a good daughter in this life. In the next life, I will definitely be a good daughter to you. Just like my sister, I won’t make you angry again…”

Gordon burst into tears. “I didn’t do it well as a father either. You’re not the only one to be blamed. I don’t deserve to be a father either! Kesha, please don’t blame me. I’ll work hard with you to maintain a good family relationship in our next life…”

“Okay…” Kesha uttered her final words. She turned her head to look at that wild grass once again, and a light flickered before her eyes. A moment later, she finally rested in peace.

“Kesha! Kesha…” Gordon shouted.

Eudora pursed her lips tightly and felt a tinge of sorrow welling up in her heart.

She remembered the little girl, with her hair tied into double braids, following behind her and calling after her repeatedly. It seemed like it was only yesterday.

Why did things end up like this?

Gordon became so emotional that he fell onto the ground and passed out.

Eudora wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes hurriedly and went forward to hold him. “Dad…”

Amos quickly carried Gordon onto the bed. Then, he immediately called the doctor.

Kesha had been taken away shortly after, whereas Gordon was treated by the doctor.

Looking at Amos, who had arranged everything for her, Eudora couldn’t imagine what she would do if he was not there for her.
