You, Me and Our Genius Twins

Chapter 59 Delusional

Cedric instinctively refuted Sam’s words. “But Madeline isn’t dead, is she?”

Sam was silent for a long while before he spoke up. “It’s dangerous to think the way you do, Cedric.”

“W-What?” Cedric could feel his scalp tingling in fear when he heard Sam’s stern voice. “W-What do you mean, Sam?”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“The way that you considered this issue and the perspective you took sounds like something an evil, irrational b*tch would say…” Sam uttered.

“Sam… I…” Cedric’s throat was dry.

“I know you’re close to Angie, and I understand how you may be biased toward her. But Cedric… Regardless, Madeline is still your sister and Aunt Crystal and Uncle Michael’s daughter. You can be biased, but you need to know your limits. You may feel sorry for Angie, but don’t you feel sorry for your mother as well? If your mother chose Madeline over Angie, are you going to pick a fight with her? Would you prefer to stab your mother in the heart one more time just to stand up for Angie?” Sam asked.

“No… That’s not what I meant!” Cedric quickly denied it. Among all of Cedric’s cousins and siblings, Sam was the second closest person to Cedric, falling behind Cedric’s brother, Jonathan. Sam had always been the gentlest one among all of Cedric’s other cousins, yet Sam was also the one who had the strongest aura. Everyone else was afraid to act rashly when they were in front of Sam.

“Sam… I just feel sorry for Angie…” Cedric muttered. “Up until now, Angie still thinks that she’s my parents’ biological daughter and my biological sister. She grew up in a comfortable environment, and she was a spoiled child from birth. If the public finds out that she isn’t part of the Wendel Family and that she’s the illegitimate child of Cameron, others are going to look down on her. Her marriage will be affected as well. My heart hurts whenever I think of this, Sam. All of us cherished and cared for Angie a lot as she was growing up. How could we bear to watch her suffer?”

“All you think about is Angie. But what about Madeline?” Sam asked. “If Cameron hadn’t exchanged her daughter for someone else’s, then Madeline would’ve been the sister that you guys cared for. Angie was lucky enough to live under the warm and loving roof of the Wendel Family for more than twenty years, but Madeline…” When Sam thought about all the abuse that Madeline had to go through, he no longer felt like talking.

Sam sighed. “Cedric, Angie’s role as your parents’ daughter comes before her role as your sister. You shouldn’t meddle with this—let your parents handle it. You should just go along with whatever your parents say. They’d never bring harm to you guys.”

“I’m sure my parents will listen to Madeline!” Cedric wailed. “Sam, when the DNA test results are out, can you please talk to Madeline about this? If she’s truly my parents’ daughter, can you tell her to accept Angie and convince my parents to say that they are twins? All four of us would owe her one if she did that!”

Sam felt his head hurting when he realized that Cedric wasn’t listening to his advice at all. “Cedric, is this what you want, or is this what all four of you guys want?”

“All four of us have agreed on this,” Cedric replied.

“I got it. You can end the call now, and I’ll call Jonathan and Joseph to ask them about this,” Sam replied.

“Don’t!” Cedric lost the confidence he had earlier. “It’s my opinion for now, but all four of us have always shared the same mindset on things. My elder brothers might not have voiced out about this, but I’m sure they agree with what I say!”

Sam shook his head. “If you told Joseph what you just said, I’m sure the first thing he would do is to beat you up. Don’t you agree?”

Cedric flinched before mumbling grumpily. “That’s why I talked to you before talking to him! Just help me to talk to Madeline, Sam. I know she listens to whatever you say. You should convince her to let Angie live with her. There’s no harm done to her, anyway. As long as you speak to her about it, I’m sure she’ll listen to you.”

“You’re being delusional, Cedric!” No matter how patient Sam was, he still had his limits. “Listen to me, Cedric. You shouldn’t stick your nose into this. Listen to your parents’ instructions… You need to remember that your mother has a bad heart, Cedric. If you cause trouble and trigger her illness, you’ll regret it if anything bad happens!” Sam warned.

“Why aren’t you being more understanding, Sam?” Cedric was getting mad as well. “Madeline listens to you the most, and my parents value your opinion as well. As long as you’re willing to step forward and voice out about this, I’m sure my parents will agree to tell the public that Angie and Madeline are twins. This will be good for both Angie and Madeline, so why don’t you agree to my idea, Sam?”

“Because this is a lie that can be easily exposed. Only an idiot would believe it,” Sam replied. “Also, based on Aunt Crystal’s personality, once it’s confirmed that Angie is Cameron’s daughter, Aunt Crystal will definitely cut ties with Angie. She wouldn’t allow Cameron’s daughter to call her ‘mom’. You should just give up on your idea!”

“It’s all about putting in the effort to change things!” Cedric replied. “You know how much my mom loves Angie, Sam. Even if Angie is Cameron’s daughter, my mom was still the one who brought her up. How could my mom bear to let her go? E-Even if my mom lost her temper and chased Angie out for a while, I’m sure my mom will give in if we speak up for Angie. She’ll let Angie stay.”

“Aunt Crystal despises Cameron, and she wants to chase Cameron’s daughter away, yet you insist on speaking up for Cameron’s daughter. Do you think that sounds like a good idea?” Sam frowned while asking. “Don’t you care whether your mother gets a heart attack? Are you sacrificing your mother’s life for the sake of your sister’s wellbeing, Cedric?”

“I told you—that’s not what I meant!” Cedric uttered anxiously. “How could I not care about my own mother’s life? My mother’s heart isn’t that weak—she just suffers from palpitations. She’s so fond of Angie. Even if she gets mad for a while and chases Angie away, she’d regret it and have a heart attack after she calms down! I’m preparing for the worst, and I’m trying to avoid all of this before it happens. I’m thinking on behalf of my mother too!”

Sam’s head pounded as he felt himself getting angry. He pinched the bridge of his nose as he spoke. “You can do whatever you want. I have some family matters, and I’m about to travel to Dusktown, so I don’t have time to continue talking to you. I’ve said what I needed to say. You’re a grown man now, so you should use your brain before taking action. Don’t regret your actions only after it’s too late! I’ll repeat myself again. You shouldn’t meddle with Angie and Madeline’s matters, and you should go according to your parents’ wishes. If you still regard me as your cousin, then you should listen to my advice. That’s all. Goodbye!”
