Filed to story: I Got Married Without You
Alice mustered all her strength and held onto his hand tightly.
“Don’t go.”
Facing death for real, Alice suddenly didn’t find it as terrifying.
It was just as if fate had been hanging her by a thread, as if it wanted her to confess something.
She gently stroked the hands of her two children, hesitated for a long, long time, and then began to reveal all the things she had done to Sumasa.
“Carson, my younger brother, actually quite liked his elder sister. It was me who instigated discord between them, causing their sibling relationship to deteriorate. Even the money he gave to Sumasa to save her life, I took it and bought a bag, throwing it to the people in the slums…”
“Jocelyn, who was originally a good friend of Sumasa, I deliberately provoked their conflict out of jealousy, causing them to completely break ties. I even encouraged her to destroy Sumasa’s face…”
“Your father, the person he wanted to marry, was always Sumasa. It was me who interfered, using some means to make your father abandon Sumasa and marry me instead.”
“I did everything…”
Jonny and Gigi, who had always seen their mother as pure and innocent, were shocked to discover the many dark secrets hidden beneath her gentle exterior.
They looked at Alice in disbelief, while Alice herself parted her lips and smiled.
“Speaking out loud, it really feels much easier…”
After she finished speaking, she felt a surge of blood in her chest.
That rusty smell spread in her mouth.
It made her a little scared, so she squeezed Jonny and Gigi’s hands tightly.
“You two, take care, and…”
Alice looked at her children with great reluctance.
“I’m sorry…”
I’m sorry, before I die, I said some hurtful words that disappointed you.
Their faces gradually became blurry and finally disappeared.
In the moment when she closed her eyes, Alice moved her gaze and looked towards the door, as if she saw Sumasa’s figure…
She smiled, acknowledging the sins she committed in her lifetime, and now in death, she deserved to be held accountable. When the dripping sound reached their ears, Jonny and Gigi finally reacted, their mother had passed away…
Gigi threw herself onto Alice, crying in pain, ignoring her own wounds.
Jonny, on the other hand, became restless, frantically pressing the bell.
The doctors and nurses heard the sound and rushed over.
A group of people in white coats surrounded Alice.
They did everything, defibrillation, compression, but they couldn’t save Alice.
Jonny stood still, lowered his eyes, and stared at Alice’s pale face, whispering.
“Mother, you haven’t waited for me to find a donor for you, why did you leave like this…”
The caretaker who had been waiting outside saw that Alice had passed away, immediately turned around and called Freda.
Upon hearing the news, Freda quickly called Andrew, “Mr. Shawn, Alice has passed away.”
Andrew, sitting in the CEO’s office, raised an eyebrow, “They removed the oxygen tube so quickly?”
Freda shook her head, “Our people didn’t have a chance to do anything, and the old lady passed away. The doctor said it was due to mental instability and emotional distress, that’s why…” No matter how she died, as long as she’s gone.
Andrew didn’t care at all, he replied with a “Thank you for your hard work” and hung up the phone.
On the Brook Family’s side, Gigi was originally supposed to meet Dylan from the Lawrence Family, but Alice’s sudden passing forced them to handle her funeral first.
After finishing Alice’s funeral, Samuel returned to the study, opened a drawer, took out a photo, and stared at the person in it quietly…
Jonny pushed the door open, “Father, Uncle and the others have arrived, what about…”
As soon as Samuel heard his voice, he immediately hid the photo he was holding in the drawer.
Jonny was stunned, wasn’t he looking at a photo of his mother? Why was he so nervous?
Samuel closed the drawer and stood up, “Let’s go.”
Jonny turned around and suddenly stopped in his tracks. After standing still for two seconds, he walked over to the desk.
He opened the drawer and what caught his eye was not Rosalyn’s photo… No, it was Sumasa’s!
It turns out that his father had been hiding Sumasa’s photo all along. Could it be that his father had never forgotten Sumasa? Realizing this, Jonny felt that the love his parents displayed in front of them was utterly hypocritical.
He used to look down on Rosalyn, thinking she was a lowly and self-loathing woman…
But now, he realized that it was his parents who had caused Rosalyn to live this kind of life.
His mother did everything she could to harm Sumasa in order to marry his father.
His father abandoned his fiancee and chose Alice, who could help him.
The love he and Gigi received was all gained by trampling over Skender and Rosalyn.
So why did he look down on Rosalyn?
Jonny pondered this and complex emotions welled up in his eyes.
It seemed that after someone’s death, forgiveness would come, just like Jonny at this moment.
He knew very well that it was Alice who caused Sumasa’s suffering, which led to Skender and Rosalyn’s tumultuous life.
But Alice was dead. Could the past grievances be erased with Alice’s death?
Jonny couldn’t find an answer. He simply lifted his hand, touched Sumasa’s photo, and then put it back in its place… Carson came to the Brook Family to ask Samuel for a memento of Alice.
Upon hearing this, Samuel returned to the room and brought him a necklace.
