Chapter 79
She was humiliated.
Cathelina Bright dragged Jackie Waltson out for a walk after supper.
“How bizarre,” she reMarktin ed once the two of them had left the lake.
“What’s odd about that?”
“I had the impression that the person she liked was you, but seeing her with your second brother made me feel extremely natural. The two of them should have a pretty nice relationship, right?”
Wills Waltson’s attention drifted away from her face and toward the dark lake in the distance.
Luna pressed her lips together. She stopped wasting her breath because she was afraid she had said something incorrectly.
The peaceful midsummer night, even if they didn’t say anything, they just sat there like a painting.
The figure in the artwork, listening to cicadas and frogs and blowing in the hot summer breeze…
It seemed like an eternity to her at the time.
In the years since, every time she recalls that scene, she realizes how beautiful it was.
Cathelina Bright and the others would be there in 30 minutes.
She was already sweating profusely after going for a walk because she had personally pushed Jackie Waltson.
She had Wills Waltson and Luna Greenwich assist her in caring for Jackie Waltson, so she took a bath herself.
Wills Waltson and Jackie Waltson talked for a while. When he noticed Luna Greenwich was silent, he inquired, “Miss Greenwich , when do you and Wills plan to marry?”
“Huh?” For a little while, Luna became immobile. This is going too far.
“Our plan is for this year,” Wills Waltson joked, “but if there’s too much happening on this year, it might be delayed till next year.”
“If that’s the case, shouldn’t we get to meet your parents? Oh, I haven’t inquired around yet, but what do Miss Greenwich ‘s folks do?”
Her fist was clenched. “I …”
She didn’t know how to answer.
Wills Watson laughed: “Second brother, her mother is dead, so from now on, we’d better not mention this anymore.”
Jackie Waltson nodded his head: “Miss Greenwich , my apologies, I just asked something that I shouldn’t have.”
She smiled warmly, “It’s alright. You didn’t know it before.”
Jackie Waltson raised his wrist to look at the time: “It’s getting late, shouldn’t we go back and rest?”
Wills Watson stood up, pushed Jackie Waltson’s wheelchair and said to her: “You can go in first and tell second-sister-in law that I’m going to push Second Brother back. She can get prepared.”
“Alright.”
She entered the villa one step ahead of them.
Arriving at the door of Jackie Waltson’s room, she knocked on it. No one answered.
She pushed the door open and stepped inside.
“Miss Bright .”
Still, no one replied. She was curious, didn’t Cathelina Bright say that she was going to take a bath? Why was there no one in the room?Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
She looked in the direction of the bathroom, hesitated for a moment, then walked over. As she walked, she asked, “Miss Bright ?”
Still, no one answered.
She gently pushed open the bathroom door and looked inside.
Behind the thin, transparent white curtain, a huge white tub could be seen.
The tub was filled with water, and a layer of red rose petals floated on top, dark red like blood.
At the edge of the bathtub, there was a cup of red wine.
Cathelina Bright rested her wet hair on the bathtub and closed her eyes.
Upon seeing this sight, her legs softened and she staggered a step back.
In that instant, her mind flashed back to that stormy night five years ago.
The bathtub stained with blood, his lifeless mother, and the blood that flowed along the floor …
She covered her ears, closed her eyes, and knelt on the ground, screaming like a madman.
“Ah …Ahh!”
Hearing this scream, Cathelina Bright who was sleeping in the bathtub was jolted awake.
Seeing Luna Greenwich , she quickly got up from the bath, pulled on her bathrobe, and walked forward.
“Miss Greenwich , are you alright?”
And at this time, Wills Waltson , who had already pushed Jackie Waltson into the living room, heard her screams.
He abandoned Jackie Waltson and rushed towards the room.
When he reached the bathroom door, he saw her clutching her head and squatting on the floor, screaming.
Cathelina Bright’s wet hair hung down, and she helplessly squatted on the side and called out ‘Miss Greenwich ‘.
He stepped forward, hugged her gently, and looked at Cathelina Bright. “What’s going on?”
Cathelina Bright looked at him strangely, and shook her head: “I don’t know, I accidentally fell asleep in the bathtub just now, and was woken up by Miss Greenwich ‘s scream. When I opened my eyes, I saw this scene.”
Wills Watson did not reply, he only lowered his head to look at the screaming Luna Greenwich as he pulled her into his embrace.
“It’s ok, it’s ok. I’m here.”
Seeing Wills Waltson ‘s care and gentleness towards her, a certain corner of Cathelina Bright’s heart felt as if someone had ruthlessly stabbed her.
She was envious of Luna Greenwich , and a crazy amount of envy.
Luna didn’t know what she was doing. She didn’t even know she was screaming.
In her mind, all she could recall was the blood that filled the bathtub, her mother’s pale face, and the wine glasses that rolled on the floor.
At that time, it was as if the fear had suddenly returned to her mind and fiercely struck her heart.
She was scared, she was scared, she was trembling all over.
Her screams attracted the attention of Benjeming Waltson who was upstairs.
When Benjeming Waltson went downstairs, he saw Jackie Waltson struggling to turn the wheelchair to return to his room, and pushed Jackie Waltson in.
After entering the house, Benjeming Waltson saw the situation, and anxiously asked: “What’s going on, third brother, what’s going on?”
Cathelina Bright stood up and ran out in her bathrobe.
She came to Jackie Waltson’s front and half-squatted, her face filled with a grievance: “I don’t know, I just fell asleep in the bathtub. I was woken up by Miss Greenwich ‘s screams, I don’t know what happened, I really, I don’t know.”
Jackie Waltson looked at her, raised her hand, and gently caressed her head, patting her hand which was on his knee: “Don’t worry, Wills will take care of this.”
Cathelina Bright closed her eyes as tears welled up.
She was also shocked.
Wills Watson cupped his warm face with both hands and forced her to look at him.
“Luna . Open your eyes and look at me.”
When Wills Waltson ‘s figure entered her line of sight, the scene in her mind was instantly torn apart.
She threw herself at him as if she was looking at her lifesaver, and hugged him tightly.
“Wills Waltson …”
Wills Watson felt her fear.
He put one arm around her waist and the other behind her head on his shoulder.
The room seemed to have fallen into silence.
Wills Watson carried her and said to Jackie Waltson and the others, “I’ll take her back, rest early for now.”
Then he went upstairs first.
He put her on the bed after entering the room.
He half sat on the bed and gently caressed her forehead. “Are you willing to tell me what happened?”
She looked at him warmly and shook her head.
Wills Watson stroked her hair, “Then … Do you want me to go out and be alone for a while? ”
She still did not speak.
Wills Watson thought that she had tacitly agreed and stood up.
Just as he was about to leave, she reached out her hand to hold his sleeve tightly without letting go.
