“I thought Skender and your mother looked alike enough, but I didn’t expect you to look even more like The grainy fingertips rubbing on her face made Rosalyn feel uncomfortable, so she turned her head.
“Ms. Clark, may I ask why you asked me to come here?”
Don’t pretend to be affectionate, just get straight to the point. Isn’t it better to be quick and decisive? Why do you have to put on a show first?
Alice’s gaze slid over Andrew, who had no expression on his face, and then she pretended to be nonchalant and reached for Rosalyn’s hand.
“I just wanted to see you for the last time. Now that I’ve seen you, I’m satisfied…”
They had already met, yet Alice still said this. Could it be that she really just wanted to see Sumasa’s daughter for the last time?
When Rosalyn looked puzzled, Alice gently patted her hand and said with a serious tone:
“I am sorry for your mother’s death. I have always wanted to apologize to her, but I never had the chance. So, I am trying to make amends by finding her daughter. I don’t want to carry any regrets or guilt to the afterlife.”
Upon hearing this, Rosalyn furrowed her brows slightly and asked, “Did you kill my mother?”
Alice shook her head and said regretfully, “No, I didn’t harm her. When she came to me asking for money with her child, I refused to lend her any. Actually, I could have helped her, but my parents didn’t allow it. They said whoever dared to lend money to Sumasa would have their legs broken. The Clark family’s rules were strict, and no one dared to disobey my parents…”
I want to borrow something fr… As Alice spoke, the light in her eyes was no longer gloomy but tinged with a hint of remorse. Rosalyn felt that Alice was not lying to her.
However, she had no right to speak for her mother.
So, she sat in front of the sickbed, looking at the woman who was half-leaning on it, pale and bloodless, with a complicated expression.
Alice held Rosalyn’s hand tightly, as if she had caught her mother’s hand, and never let go. “Sumasa and I were only a year apart. We were close sisters since childhood. But because I was too obedient to my parents and refused to lend her money, it indirectly caused her death. Every time I think of this, I feel extremely guilty and can’t sleep at night…”
Speaking of this, she looked into Rosalyn’s eyes, with glistening tears, “Child, I’m sorry for your mother. That’s why my son has been searching for her daughter all over the world, just to make up for the regret of the past. Don’t think too much about it…”
Perhaps guessing that Andrew had already uncovered the truth, Alice’s emotional words were mostly true, without any falsehood. Unfortunately, Rosalyn wouldn’t believe her just like that. “The person is already gone. You found her daughter just to say sorry. What’s the use?”
Alice wanted to lower her guard, but who would have thought that Rosalyn was smarter than her mother.
However, Alice was still determined to achieve her goal. “In fact, besides apologizing to her daughter, I also want to borrow something from her daughter…”
Seeing Alice getting to the point, Rosalyn sneered and raised her eyebrows, “You just said you wanted to make it up to me, and now you want to borrow something from me. Aren’t you contradicting yourself?”
Alice shook her head and denied, “I will definitely make it up to you. I have a 30% stake in the Clark family, which will be fully left to you after my death. It will be stated in my will. As for borrowing something, I just want to borrow a small tube of blood from you I want to borrow something fr… 4/4 for testing…”
Upon hearing this, Rosalyn was puzzled and frowned,
“Borrow a small tube of blood from me? What for?”
Alice didn’t hide anything and, directly lifted the blanket to reveal her weak legs to Rosalyn. “Before I pass away, I have a wish to walk under the sun. But with my current condition, I can’t move due to lack of blood…”
After pausing for a moment, Alice looked guilty and turned to Rosalyn. “When your mother borrowed money from me, she told me that you, Skender, and I have the same blood type, AB. She said that if I was willing to lend her money, she would help me if I ever needed blood in the future…”
Alice knew she was being unreasonable, but she had to plead with Rosalyn sincerely. “I’m sorry I didn’t lend her the money at that time, but if possible, I still want you to help me donate blood. Just 400cc is enough to let me stand up…”
II
Alice’s words sounded genuine, but upon closer My wife’s blood is not for lend… inspection, they were full of loopholes.
Firstly, Alice and Skender are not AB type, but rather the common O type. Alice’s mother may have lied about her blood type to borrow money in a desperate attempt to find a cure. Unfortunately, this became one of the reasons why Alice was searching for the two sisters everywhere.
Secondly, 400cc of blood is not enough for Alice to stand up and walk. Alice’s request was just an excuse to draw her blood for testing. What happens after the test is completed will depend on how Alice continues to play her role.
However, before Rosalyn could respond, a cold voice came from beside her, “My wife’s blood is not for lending.”
The man didn’t even bother to make an excuse and directly refused in a cold tone. Alice’s face stiffened and she slowly turned her gaze towards Rosalyn, “Child, your aunt only wants a little bit of blood, it won’t harm you…”
After considering for a moment, Rosalyn looked at Jonny sitting next to her and then proposed a condition to Alice, “If you honestly tell me how you married Samuel, I will let you draw a small tube of blood. If you’re lying, then I’m sorry, I won’t lend you my blood.”
Last night, Andrew had told her that Jonny didn’t know about the past between his parents and thought that Sumasa had intervened. She had to clear up the misunderstanding in front of Jonny for her mother’s sake.
At the same time, Alice wanted a tube of blood for testing. It turned out that she wanted an organ from Skender’s body, but since Skender was gone, she came to her. However, before taking the organ, Alice needed to confirm if her blood was a match. That’s why she needed to draw her blood for testing.
However, what surprised Rosalyn was that Alice didn’t know that Sumasa wasn’t from the Clark family.
But Herb had mentioned that he had overheard his grandparents talking when he was a child, which was how he found out. It was normal for Alice, who was only one year younger than Sumasa, not to know this secret.
Rosalyn thought that giving Alice a tube of blood and letting her personally test that she wasn’t from the Clark family, and then using Alice’s words to tell Dominic, would be more authentic and reliable than giving the report herself. It could also dispel Alice’s idea of wanting to take her organs and refresh Jonny’s understanding. It was like killing three birds. with one stone.
As soon as Rosalyn made her proposal, Andrew knew what she was thinking. However, he was reluctant to let anyone take a tube of blood and suffer even the Killing three birds with one sto… slightest harm.
Rosalyn held his hand tightly and pressed her fingertips on his palm to signal him not to worry.
Alice didn’t see their small movements and was still immersed in Rosalyn’s proposal.
The sentence “How did you marry Samuel?” made Alice feel like she was being stripped naked.
It seemed that Rosalyn knew everything but was still cooperating with her to act. Alice felt a sense of anger at being seen through while still wearing clothes.
Rosalyn must have already found out the truth about what happened back then when she married Andrew. By asking this question now, she just wanted Alice to admit her mistake in front of her son.
If she told the truth, the image of herself as a mother that she had established in front of her son would probably collapse. If she lied, Rosalyn would refuse to Killing three birds with one sto… take the blood.
After weighing the pros and cons, Alice chose to reveal the truth: “After Jocelyn ruined your mother’s appearance, Samuel broke off the engagement. The commercial alliance between the Clark family and the Brook family was supposed to end there. However, my parents didn’t want to miss the opportunity to climb up the social ladder, so they made me marry Samuel instead of Jocelyn…”
Rosalyn saw that Alice was being very careful with her words, so she deliberately provoked her: “I’ve met Jocelyn, and she said that you encouraged her to ruin my mother’s face…”
Alice turned pale and trembled inside, but she refused to admit it: “Nonsense! I just said a few words in front of her, comparing your mother’s looks to hers. She became jealous and went crazy, and did this to Sumasa. How dare she try to shift the blame onto me!”
To her surprise, Rosalyn found out the truth with just a Killing three birds with one st… casual lie: “If you didn’t say those things in front of Jocelyn, how could she have been jealous enough to use chemicals to attack my mother’s face?”
Alice became emotional and denied it vehemently:
“It’s not like that! I had nothing to do with this!” Rosalyn deliberately said: “Then what about using underhanded means to marry Samuel? Does that have nothing to do with you?” means “I was just there for him when he couldn’t accept Sumasa’s disfigurement,” Alice said excitedly. “If anyone is to blame, it’s him for drinking too much. We naturally had a relationship, but what’s wrong with that?”
Jonny, who had been sitting next to her, cutting an apple with his head down, paused with the knife handle in his hand when he heard this.
Alice had told him when he was young that his father loved her very much. They grew up together and promised to spend their lives together.
However, Sumasa intervened when they grew up and used improper means to have a relationship with his father, which led to their engagement.
But good and evil will eventually be repaid. When Sumasa’s face was disfigured, the Clark family felt Underhanded means embarrassed to marry her to Samuel, so they switched to her.
Who would have thought that the real version was that his mother had an improper relationship with his father before they had dissolved their engagement… He raised his sharp eyes and looked at Alice, who looked weak but had a sinister look in her eyes.
