The sick man cut her off mercilessly, retorting, “Do you really? You don’t.If you knew, you would’ve stopped bothering me by now, Yelena.I remember that I’ve told you so many times that I don’t like you, and I don’t want you to be in my life, ever.”
Yet, Yelena replied stubbornly, “I know you found a girl who looked like me and used her to trick me.”
Hank scoffed.
“Trick you?”
It was as though he had heard the funniest joke of this century.
“What makes you think I’d go to that extent? Who told you that I found someone who looks like you to trick you?thuy bao If you really don’t believe me, you can investigate yourself and see if there was such a girl all those years ago.”
Yelena was stunned.
“What did you say? She doesn’t exist?”
The man refuted with a snort, “Of course.If there’s nothing else, please don’t bother me.I feel sick, and your presence is affecting my rest.”
Yelena froze on the spot, and she parted her lips to speak, but the words were stuck in her throat.She couldn’t utter a single word.
“I’m sorry, I was terribly misinformed.That’s why I rushed over so hastily.But I’m genuinely concerned about you, so I came to check on you to make sure you’re okay.I’m just glad to see that you have no serious issues.”
Nonetheless, when Hank heard her nattering away, he said bluntly, “Then, you can leave now.”
Yelena had never heard such harsh words from him, and she felt at a loss.However, her tears fell faster.She wiped them away quickly and asked, “Do you hate me that much?”
The man snapped, “There are so many men in this world, yet you’re still clinging to the one who cheated on you?”
It was already impolite to bother him, so Yelena apologized again, muttering, “Hank, I know you think that I’m loud and childish.There’s also a high chance that you detest me.But I’m just worried about your health and nothing else.If you don’t want to see me, I’ll never appear in front of you again.Live well.Whatever you said before…I’ll forget it.”
After she squeezed those words out of her throat, she turned and rushed downstairs, almost like she was running away.
While she was fleeing, she suddenly felt extremely ashamed.
It seemed as though Yelena was throwing herself at him.She didn’t even say goodbye to Simone as she rushed to the door and ran out.
The commotion upstairs could be heard clearly downstairs.
Simone was worried.
Yet, she could only watch in resignation as Yelena fled the house before she could say anything.
Slevin watched her rush off, and his lips curled down into a slight smirk.
Still, he remained silent upon watching the ruckus.
“Slade, isn’t Yelena your friend? Don’t you want to chase after her to check on her?”
Simone knew her son’s temper, and Yelena was definitely devastated after being treated so harshly by Hank.She was concerned that Yelena would do something stupid.
To her surprise, Slevin merely leaned against the sofa calmly.
“It’s okay, Mrs.Damazio.Yelena can take care of herself.”
Simone nodded helplessly when she suddenly recalled something.She inquired warily, “Since Yelena is already gone, what are you still doing here?”
Slevin seemed to have been waiting for that question.
He drawled, “Well, Mrs.Damazio, I’m here not just for Yelena.”
A sense of caution instantly rose in Simone’s heart.
“What are you here for?” Slevin replied calmly, “Mrs.Damazio, do you remember a woman called Leah Hudson from around twenty-five years ago?”
Leah Hudson…
A memory instantly surfaced, and Simone’s face paled with fright.
“You know Leah?”
The man toyed with her, “Coincidentally, not only do I know her, but she’s also my biological mother.”
“What?!”
“I said, she’s my biological mother.”
Simone stuttered, not daring to answer, “So…Dear child, how’s your mother now?”
Slevin’s smile gradually became malicious.
“She’s actually crossed the rainbow bridge now, so she’s at peace.”
Simone was well aware of that answer.
But she couldn’t help but stagger when she heard the answer.
“I…I can explain this.”
The man smiled, “You don’t have to explain, Mrs.Damazio.Your reaction is enough.”
The memory was so painful that Simone had never dared to think about it in the past twenty-five years.
Back then, she found Leah lying on the floor, covered in blood.
Yet, instead of calling the police, she quickly fled the scene.
At first, it was out of fear, afraid that she would suffer the same treatment.
It was such a pity that she didn’t expect that her actions would cause Leah’s death.
The year Leah died…
“Leah, I’ve told you countless times.
Please stop pestering my husband.”
Simone had been raised well.
So, even though she was stuck in such a situation, she didn’t yell at Leah.
The two women stood facing each other in front of the abandoned warehouse.
Simone’s eyes were cold.
“I’m not pestering your husband, but…”
Leah’s eyes were full of helplessness.
“But now, I’m in dire need of money to raise my children.I have no choice but to come to him.”
There was a trace of pity in Simone’s eyes.She knew that the woman in front of her was just a poor and helpless woman with nothing but looks.
Alas, she was still too young at the time, and she had always felt that this woman robbed her of happiness and destroyed her family.
In fact, this was true.
The frequent presence of this woman had caused a great deal of trouble in Simone’s daily life, but she also knew in her heart that her husband was an extremely flirtatious man that had no control over his libido.
Leah was merely just one of her husband’s many lovers.
“If you need money, tell me the amount, and I’ll transfer it to you.”
