Chapter 716
When Jeremy heard the voice which sounded like it was from someone who had gone through the vicissitudes of life, he swallowed back what he was about to say to refute him.
In fact, he was already living in torture every day! Otherwise, he wouldn't stay in the office and smoke even though he had already finished his work! Yet, there was one thing that he was very clear about. Lindsay loved him. She might not be a good person, but she treated him very well.
He thought of her lonely past, and how much she had done for him, not to mention that she was pregnant then.
He had once given up on Alicia reluctantly, which was the most painful thing in his life! At that moment, he could never do the same to someone else ever again.
After thinking for a moment, Jeremy said, "Dad, I know what I'm doing! After some time, I'll go back and see you!"
Finally, the man on the other end sighed and said,
"Jeremy, you really haven't experienced how terrible a failed marriage is yet! It's said that a perfect marriage is about having a good wife and a pair of good children, and not needing to worry about life. If I could bear your mother, I would not have come to this stage. Dad still hopes that you can be more cautious. Even if you don't marry the lady from the Castle family, you should think about it properly! Marriage, life and a good woman are very important!"
After hanging up, Jeremy's face became gloomy again. The last sentence made him feel like a big rock was stuck in his heart.
When he got home, he habitually went to his mother's place first. When he entered the house, he saw his mother sitting on the sofa, stunned, with a handful of hair in her hand.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Why was she losing so much hair?
Sally suddenly came to her senses, and quickly threw the hair in her hand into the trash can and smiled,
"It's okay, it's okay! I'm old, it's because I'm worried about you! Jeremy, sit down! Mom cooked an apple for you, it was your favourite when you were young!"
After a while, she took out a plate of cold mashed apple from the kitchen. In fact, he had grown out of it for a long time, but he still took a spoon and
ate a scoop.
"Mmm. It's very sweet!"
It was too sweet, but Jeremy still had two more bites. He said, "Mom, do you feel any discomfort recently? Shall I take you to the hospital to have a check?"
She shook her head vigorously and propped her head with her hands. Sally seemed very panicked, "No! No! I'm fine! Don't send me back there! I don't want to live in that kind of place anymore!"
"Mom, Mom, I know. You've recovered. I won't send you back there! You're just going for a physical check-up..." Jeremy said. Sitting beside her, Jeremy took her hand. He couldn't help but feel that there was something wrong with her complexion.
"No! I just didn't sleep well. I'm a little dizzy and I don't have enough strength, so I forgot... It's okay, I'll be fine after taking a rest or some medicine!" Sally said.
Sally stood up again and muttered, "I've bought you some jerky, you can eat it when you're hungry at night!"
After searching for a while, Sally only took out a bag of dried sweet potatoes and dried fruits. She kept looking for the jerky, and muttered, "Where is the jerky that I bought? Who ate it?"
Seeing that she was getting annoyed, Jeremy quickly grabbed her hand and asked, "Mom, mom, didn't I bring it back two days ago?"
"Ah? You took it home! No wonder! Then, remember to eat it when you're tired at night!" Sally said.
"Okay!" Jeremy answered.
Nodding his head, Jeremy unconsciously looked at her again.
Actually, those days, he would just go over to chat and occasionally eat a meal. He didn't bring anything back home at all. Obviously, his mother didn't remember it.
Was his mother being forgetful or delusional?
No wonder she kept annoying Lindsay after she returned!
At that moment, Jeremy suddenly had a little sympathy for Lindsay, and his guilt towards her inevitably increased.
He chatted with his mother for a while, and then asked the servants to take good care of her before he went home. When he just arrived at the door, a terrible looking woman emerged and asked,
"Are you Jeremy?"
He looked at the girl in front of him and saw that she was carrying a suitcase. Her hair was a little messy, and she was putting her weight on. one foot The heel of her shoe
seemed to be broken. At that
el.ne
moment, she was dirty and haggard, but under her messy hair, there was still a beautiful and outstanding face. Looking at the way she dressed and the suitcase she was carrying, the workmanship was not bad. It should be a branded stuff!
He nodded but seeing this unfamiliar face, he had some doubts. He asked, "You are...?"
The next second, something extremely soft crashed straight into his arms and said, "Brother-in-law!"
Holding him, Cecilia burst into tears.
Jeremy's arms were wide open in surprise. He was completely stunned. What was going on? Was she trying to blackmail him?
"Miss? Don't be like this! Are you sure you've got the right person?" Did Lindsay have a sister? Yes, she had a sister! However, he had seen Nerissa before!
Jeremy didn't dare to touch her body. He looked around, only to see a taxi parked at the side of the road. However, the taxi had a legitimate license plate and was not covered.
When he saw that there was a camera facing in the same direction, he slowly pushed Cecilia aside and took a step back and said, "I don't seem to know you!"
Cecilia sobbed and said, "I'm Waverly's sister. My name is Cecilia! You're Jeremy. Of course, you're my brother-in-law!"
Was she Waverly's sister? Why did she come to Casterwich City, and why did she even look for him at his house?
In shock, Jeremy looked at her from head to toe again. No wonder her whole body was full of branded stuff! However, her situation then...All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Looking down at herself, Cecilia cried again,
"I came to see my sister. On the way,
my bag was stolen. My cell phone and money are all gone! I couldn't contact my sister. Her neighbour told me that she went on a business trip yesterday. I didn't know where to go. I didn't know what to do. came here secretly. I didn't dare to tell my family! I could only come to you! I have no money. The taxi is still waiting there! Can you help me?
Help me to pay the fare first!"
She cried while wiping her tears. Cecilia was like a child, crying out loud. She looked very aggrieved.
Although his marriage with Waverly did not prevail, the two families still had a close relationship. Even if she was a stranger, he would not refuse to help her under such circumstances. Jeremy took out a handkerchief, passed it to her and said,
"All right, don't cry! I got it! I'll deal with it!"
He walked to the side and asked about the situation. Jeremy paid the fare and turned back. Seeing her haggard look, Jeremy said again,
"What happened to you? How did you get here?"
"I've been waiting for the whole day,
but I can't get a taxi! It's so hard to get a taxi at Casterwich City. I fought with someone for the taxi... I vaguely remember your address, so I came over and asked around, and then I found it!" Cecilia said.
She tidied up her hair and lowered her head. She had investigated his background thoroughly.
She actually was planning to meet him in a poor state, but who would have thought that her twisted plan would have come true after all? She really
had nowhere to go then!
