Chapter 1125 Knowing the Truth
“Mrs. Wood, I’ve reminded you once before.” Compared to Libby’s excitement, Nia was so calm, still slightly hooked her lips and said,
“And, I think Mr. Wood has already figured it out from these few actions.”
Upon hearing this, Libby felt her anger rising and she stood up abruptly, demanding fiercely, “What do you mean? If there’s something to say, just say it straight out. Don’t beat around the bush with me!”
“I’ve made it clear enough,” Nia raised an eyebrow and stood up abruptly. “Mrs. Wood, a turtledove takes over the nest of a magpie. Don’t let your son suffer because of someone else’s actions.”
After speaking, Nia seemed to let Libby think for herself and left the ward decisively. Anyway, this trip was already worth it.
After Nia left, Libby looked extremely conflicted. Nia didn’t say much, but it stirred up all of her suspicions once again.
Thinking of her husband’s strange behavior over the past six months, Libby suddenly shouted towards the door,
“Thomas, Rhys! Come in here!”
Thomas and Rhys were Miles’ trusted subordinates, and this time they were tasked with protecting Libby in the hospital. When they saw Nia, they had a bad feeling in their hearts. After hearing Libby’s angry roar, the two exchanged a glance and reluctantly walked into the ward.
“You guys pack up your things right away. We’re going back now.” Libby had already made up her mind and decisively spoke after glancing at the two people with their heads down.
“Mrs. Wood, this won’t do!” Thomas quickly raised his head and said.
“Why?” Libby said coldly, “You’ve been following me around, so you should know my condition best. Is there anything wrong with me going home?”
“This…” Thomas looked at Rhys with difficulty.
“Mrs. Wood, Mr. Wood meant for you to continue receiving treatment for a while longer to completely cure the root of your illness. Don’t listen to Nia spreading rumors here.”
Rhys’ words made Libby furrow her brow, and she stared at him asking, “You said she spread rumors. So what rumors did she spread that could affect my discharge?”
This time, Thomas and Rhys were both speechless.
“You are all old subordinates of Miles. I don’t believe you are not aware of why Miles has been insisting on me staying here. Today, no matter what, you must give me an answer. Otherwise I will leave the hospital immediately and no one can stop me!” Libby said firmly.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Thomas and Rhys were certainly aware of the reason, but they dared not say it.
“Mrs. Wood!” Thomas was easily swayed, and when he saw Libby getting anxious, he quickly stopped her and said helplessly, “Let’s just talk about it.”
“What exactly is going on?” Libby took a deep breath and slowly sat down, waiting for them to give her an answer.
After thinking for a moment, Thomas finally recounted Miles’ emotional journey over the past six months. The more Libby listened, the paler her face became. Although Rhys was worried too, he couldn’t stop it. He could only observe Libby’s condition while adding a few words here and there. Fifteen minutes later, Thomas finished speaking.
“Mrs. Wood… Mr. Wood is afraid that you’ll worry…” Seeing Libby’s empty eyes and pale face with a dejected expression on her face made Rhys uncomfortable as he tried to comfort her with these words.
“No wonder…” It had only been ten minutes or so since they started talking but now Libby’s voice had changed from being high-pitched to low and hoarse as she almost spoke inaudibly, “No wonder Miles… no wonder that person did this…”
“Mr. Wood… has been very troubled ever since finding out about young master’s situation. He hasn’t had peace of mind even for one day,” said Thomas with tears in his eyes as he remained loyal to Miles while holding onto hope that the real Casper was still alive despite everything else.
“But all of us have hope deep down inside our hearts – we hope that your real son is still alive. We hope that he will be okay… That’s why Mr. Wood has always accommodated that person – just so we can save Mr. Wood Junior.”
Libby looked at the white wall before saying something even paler than its color, “There’s no more hope…” Now she knew what Leon meant by playing back those recordings.
“What?” While both Thomas and Rhys were still confused by what she meant by this statement; they heard nothing but despairing sobs coming from Libby next second before she fainted right in front of them.
Afterwards came chaos. Thomas and Rhys were busy calling doctors; busy trying to revive her. Over an hour later, Libby finally woke up from unconsciousness, looking extremely haggard with bloodshot eyes.
As soon as Thomas saw Libby wake up, he immediately said, “Mrs. Wood, it was our fault. We told you everything. I’m going to tell Mr. Wood right away.”
“No!” Although weak, Libby spoke firmly,
“Mrs. Wood?” Both Thomes and Rhys didn’t understand why.
“You come here.” With a sobbing heart yet determined spirit, Libby waved at Thomes and Rhys, suggesting they come closer. At this point, Libby may have been crying uncontrollably, but like any mother who would do anything for their child, she already had an idea in mind.
In mid-April, all the cherry blossoms in Athegate were blooming. Occasional rain made the falling petals even more beautiful. In this romantic moment, Eduard proposed to Daphne and they entered into marriage after a solemn ceremony.
On their wedding day, Lucia’s friends all gathered together. Since Lucia and Arthur did not officially get married, she was the maid of honor and naturally Arthur would not let anyone else be Eduard’s best man. He even pushed aside Eduard’s cousin to successfully become the best man himself.
The CEO of Webbex Group was the maid of honor while the CEO of Branch of Davonnis was the best man. Eduard himself was also an executive for Jibillion Inc. This luxurious lineup naturally attracted countless guests who came to congratulate them, even those who were not invited tried to find ways to sneak in. But Arthur had already prepared for this by bringing in security personnel from Davonnis Corp; as a good friend of Eduard’s, he did everything he could do and covered everything that couldn’t be done.
In the lounge area, Eduard couldn’t help but pat Arthur on his shoulder saying, “Arthur, you are so loyal! I was really worried about using company resources for my personal matters, but now with your help, it has been taken care off.”
Arthur shrugged off Eduard’s hand with a smirk, “Come on now! You knew I would do this from early on.”
Eduard chuckled knowingly at him without saying anything.
“From now on you are a family man,” Kane chimed in from beside them with a smile. “Remember to treat Daphne and your child well instead of always goofing around.”
“Kane…”Eduard shook his head speechlessly at him; this guy always acted like an old man despite being around their age group.
