Starting with A Divorce

Chapter 685 Study Abroad

To prove what she said, Robyn took out her phone and showed the contents of the email to Matteo. “This is the email.’

Matteo checked it and found nothing suspicious.

However, he didn’t fully buy what Robyn had said. “It’s just an anonymous message. How come it makes you so frightened?”

There was some fear on Robyn’s face. “I escaped death several times. It’s not fake!”

“What exactly happened?” Mr. Easton looked at everyone with a puzzled expression.

Matteo didn’t want to explain, and Ainsley didn’t want to speak either.

After a moment of silence, Ainsley said thoughtfully, “Previously, Leonard helped me a lot to bring down Irene, so I promised him that I would protect him.”

“That’s all?” Mr. Easton raised his eyebrows.

Ainsley nodded. “Yeah.”

Robyn was relieved. “Isn’t that perfect? Leonard didn’t die, instead it was Samuel who died.”

“Mom, you didn’t tell us the whole story, did you?” Matteo asked cautiously.

“Yes.” Robyn said seriously, “I’m done talking. I can give you the letter. Go and find out the address.”

Ainsley’s mind was in a mess. Samuel was dead. Why did Leonard say nothing happened when he received the call the other day? What happened to him?

Virginia Mason Hospital.

Lainey had just eaten the oatmeal in the insulated container and Roman cleaned it up for her. She felt better with some energy now.

“I want to see my dad.” After knowing that the incident had spread all over the Internet, she knew that her father also knew about it. She had been afraid to face it for the past two days, but no matter what, she had to face it.

Roman did not intend to stop her. Instead, he walked out and returned with a wheelchair. Seeing Lainey’s puzzled gaze, he explained, “You’re a patient now, and you’re very weak. I’ll push you over.”

Lainey didn’t refuse. She was carried into the wheelchair by Roman.

The two wards were only one floor apart. When she was pushed into her father’s ward, she didn’t expect to see her father being so fragile.

In her impression, her father had always been very tall, and he would rush ahead in everything. Even if his hair turned white, he would dye it back to black. But now, his hair was greying at the sides, and he seemed to have aged ten years in just a few days.

Jaydan also saw Lainey. He turned his face away and forced himself not to see her, but in the end, he still couldn’t bear to let his precious daughter, who had been treasured since she was a child, be hurt like this. He wanted to die when he saw the video again.

Roman pushed the wheelchair to the side of the bed, then lifted the upper part of the bed up to let Jaydan sit up.

“You may leave,” Jaydan said coldly.

Roman was stunned for a moment, but he immediately walked out of the ward. “Call me if you need anything.”

Only Jaydan and Lainey were left in the ward. Jaydan asked angrily, “All that happened, and why didn’t I, as a father, know anything about this? Why didn’t you tell me at that time?”

Lainey had endured the pain all the way. Now as she looked at Jaydan, whose eyes were red with worry, and heard what he said, she could not help it.

“Dad, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have kept it from you. But, I really don’t want you to worry about me all the time,” Lainey said.

“When did this happen?” Jaydan asked coldly.

Lainey thought for a while and said, “Two months ago. Maybe not that long ago, but I don’t remember it clearly.”

After what happened, she tried hypnotizing herself to forget, but unfortunately, nothing helped. Only time could blurthose painful pasts.

“So it’s not all because I locked you up at home that you were depressed some time ago?” Jaydan said. He was slightly agitated, thinking of something.

Only then did Lainey dare to tell the truth. “Actually, after what happened, I tried many times to stop myself from thinking. Dad, when I was at home, I almost broke down several times, and I wanted to tell you. But in the end, I didn’t because I felt that there was no need to mention what had already happened, which would only increase your pain.”

Jaydan’s fingers trembled. And even now, he still couldn’t accept what had happened, “W-Who did it? You don’t even want to hide this from me, do you?”

Lainey shook her head. “Dad, it was Daniel and Irene who designed it. Irene has already learned her lesson, yet Daniel is still at large.”

Jaydan suddenly exerted force on his hand and then coughed violently.

Lainey nervously picked up the glass of water for him and patted his back. “Dad! Are you okay?”

“I! I will never let him go! Anyone who hurts my daughter will have to pay for it!” Jaydan said angrily.

After a long time, he calmed down slowly, and Lainey said, “Dad, he will pay for it.”

Looking at her daughter’s dark eye circles, Jaydan knew that she hadn’t slept well these days. It was right. Who could sleep after so many things had happened?

Jaydan took a deep breath and persuaded, “Lainey, shall we go abroad? Everything I’ve arranged for you before is still in preparation, and you can leave at any time. After you leave Seattle, you will be far away from all the mess. In two or three years, no one in the entire city will remember this matter.”

“Dad, are you saying that I should hide abroad for two to three years?” Lainey had already anticipated what her father would say.

“I didn’t say that. You can make your own decision.”

Lainey lowered her eyes. The first thing she saw was Jaydan’s rough and calloused hands.

Immediately after was his eyes full of concern. She was touched at the moment. Jaydan was worried about her every day.

She hesitated for a moment, “Dad, I agree to go abroad to study.”

“Really?” Jaydan didn’t expect that his daughter would agree.

“But there is one condition.”

Jaydan asked eagerly, “What is it?”

“That is, I can study abroad, but only after I’ve had my revenge,” Lainey said.

Until this moment, she was still thinking about revenge.

“Dad, don’t worry too much. Besides being my enemy, there are many people who treat Daniel as their enemy. Aisy is also dealing with Daniel, so this day won’t be too far away.” Lainey finally convinced Jaydan.

She could see that Jaydan was a little tired, and she just couldn’t hold on any longer.

After making the agreement with Jaydan, she called Roman over.

Jaydan immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep before he saw Roman.

Lainey didn’t want to disturb him, so she whispered to Roman, “Push me away. My dad is asleep.”

She barely had any interest after out of the ward.

Noticing that Lainey was preoccupied, Roman stopped and asked, “What’s wrong? Did you leave anything behind?”

“No. Nothing.” Roman’s voice pierced her heart like a thorn.

“What happened, Lainey?” Roman continued to ask.

No matter how much he pressed, Lainey always shook her head, indicating that nothing had happened.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
