“I don’t have time.” Dolores rejected him abruptly, and held Matthew’s hand to get on the car. Sean
chased up to them a few steps, his eyes were a little red, “Dolores… Perhaps I shouldn’t call you
this…”
“What do you want?!” Dolores suddenly cut him off fiercely.
Sean didn’t expect that Dolores would have such a huge response, but he later understood why she
had reacted this way.
He was clear on why she had almost fainted outside the Harris family’s doorstep that day.
That day, after watching Dolores’ car leave the Harris family’s house, he hadn’t turned around to look
for Tommy. He had instead gone back to the Harris’ house, intending to ask Jeffery whether he had
done anything to Dolores again. This is because Dolores’ situation didn’t look good then, so he had
wanted to clarify things. When he pushed open the house door, he saw Marina standing in shock at the
living room with a strange expression. It was only when she saw her son come back that she regained
her senses.
Marina had requested for Dolores to stay back for dinner, but Dolores had ignored her. Marina had
thought that she had done something wrong to make Dolores angry, that was why she was stunned in
the living room.
But once she saw her son, she didn’t care about anything else anymore. She quickly walked over,
“You’re back? Just in time, I’ve made many dishes, keep me company for dinner tonight.”
Sean had no mood to have dinner, so he had asked, “Where’s dad?”
Marina frowned, “Why are you looking for dad once you got back?”
She knew that her son and her husband didn’t get along, so she was very worried. Especially when
Sean was asking for his father in such an accusatory tone. Even more so she didn’t dare to let him and
Jeffery meet.
Marina pulled her son over, worried that he would go look for Jeffery, “Why are you looking for your
dad?”
“Did Dolores come over just now? Did she meet with dad?” Sean looked at his own mother, and his
tone was considered gentle. Although he was prejudiced against Jeffery, but he respected his mother.
Marina nodded her head.
Sean laughed coldly, “No wonder she almost passed out at the doorstep, what has dad done again?!”
Speaking of Jeffery, Sean was so angry that he was gritting his teeth.
Marina was stunned for a moment, thinking in her heart whether Dolores and Jeffery had had an
argument in the study room. Was that why Dolores didn’t even reply when she had asked her to stay
for dinner?
“Where is he?” Sean asked.
Marina didn’t dare to answer him. If Sean went to see Jeffery like this, it would definitely erupt in an
argument.
“Apart from coming up with dirty tactics with Eddie at home, I think he would usually like to stay in his
study room.” Sean had a bit of understanding towards Jeffery. He waved away Marina’s hand, and
walked towards the study room. Without knocking on the door, he kicked open the door roughly. With a
bang, the door slammed on the wall.
“Jeffery, what do you want…”
He yelled Jeffery’s name, but before he could finish his questioning, he saw Jeffery laying on the floor.
Sean was taken aback for a second. He hadn’t even finished his question, why, why was he laying on
the floor?
Afraid that her son and her husband would get into an argument, Marina had run over too. Seeing her
husband laying on the floor, she shrieked in shock. Quickly, she ran over, “Old man, what’s wrong?
Stop scaring me.”
Jeffery hadn’t passed out. Because he was too emotional, thrombosis had occurred. Added with a
strong emotional impact, this had increased the burden on his heart. These extreme emotions had
caused a stroke.
His health was usually good, but he had previously passed out once before. He was almost sixty,
regardless of how healthy he was, he couldn’t be as fit as when he was young. Not to mention the
impact on his emotions, hence he wasn’t able to handle it at once.
His eyes were wide open, his mouth was slanted to a side and unable to speak, his hands and legs
were fidgeting.
Marina was so shocked that her tears were flowing. She yelled at Sean who was stunned by the
doorstep, “Stop standing there, quick send your father to the hospital, do you want to see him die?”
At this moment, Sean came back to his senses, and ran over to carry Jeffery up. After all, it was his
biological father, regardless of how much dissatisfaction he had in his heart, he would still be very
worried about his health. He was exceptionally strong, but it still took an effort to carry Jeffery up. He
could see the veins pulsing on Jeffery’s forehead. When Sean carried Jeffery up, the paper that was
clenched in Jeffery’s fists dropped onto the floor. It was then that Marina saw there was something in
his hands. She reached out to pick it up. Just when she was about to read the contents, Sean yelled at
her, “Quick.”
He had to drive the car, and there needed to be someone to take care of Jeffery in the car.
Marina anxiously put the paper into her pocket and ran out with him. Sean put Jeffery in the back car
seat, and she followed by hugging Jeffery, to prevent him from falling. Sean drove the car in front.
This concerned Jeffery’s life, and Sean drove very quickly. Even so, it still took twenty over minutes
before reaching the hospital.
Jeffery was sent into the emergency department. Sean anxiously paced the corridor, mumbling to
himself, “His body is usually very healthy, how did this…”
The Jeffery in his memory, was always in uniform, tall and upright, and forever with a serious face. It
was as if people owed him money. Why would this happen suddenly?
“Mum…” Sean turned to look at Marina, wanting to ask her what had happened between Dolores and
Jeffery. Why were both of them injured? Instead, he saw Marina leaning against the wall and reading
the letter.
Why did she still had the mood to read the letter now?
Sean walked in front of her, “Mum, my dad and…”
“Look at this.” Before he could finish his words, he was cut off by Marina, and she passed the letter in
her hands to him.
Sean didn’t understand, “What is this?”
“You will understand everything once you read this.” Marina pushed the letter to him again.
This time, Sean took the letter. Although Marina wasn’t as emotional as Jeffery, but she was also
shocked by this letter. She held the wall and walked slowly towards a row of chairs to sit down.
Now she understood why her husband would…
Sigh – she couldn’t help but sigh.
Sean took a look at Marina, and hesitated for a moment. He didn’t go over, but instead lowered his
head to read the letter. Firstly, what entered his eyes were the two words, ‘Dear Brother’. He continued
reading.
“Dear Brother.
If you can see this letter, this means that I am no longer alive. Don’t be sad because of this, don’t be
down because of me. Everything was my choice.
I have done many wrong things in my lifetime, and have did many people wrong. The person that I am
most sorry to is Jayden. Even though I married him, I have never done my part as a wife.
I selfishly wanted to stay together with Stanley, and ridiculously found another woman for Jayden. This
is another person that I am sorry towards. When she met me, she lost her lover, and became a
mistress that couldn’t see the light of day.
Up till here, I guess you would be able to guess something. Yes, Matthew isn’t my biological son. He is
Victoria and Jayden’s biological son. I felt that I owe Jayden something. In order to give the child a
legitimate status, as well as to not worry you and dad, I told the public that Matthew was my son. I had
cheated everyone of the truth.
In the past even though it was said that the two families would marry, but you guys wanted to separate
me and Stanley. You guys thought that he is an illegitimate son. Yes… I know our family wouldn’t get
along with this type of person. But, I love him, and even if he is a heinous sinner, I am willing to go to
the deepest valleys of hell with him when I die.
Jeffery, when writing this letter, my deepest regret is agreeing to marry Jayden. I had hurt him, and hurt
an innocent woman. I understand your temper, you would definitely think that my marriage was broken
up by Victoria. However, that is not the case, everything was caused by me.
I am the culprit and the sinner.
Jeffery, I have something else to let you know. I am pregnant, and the child belongs to Stanley. I have
already done the checks, and it is a girl. I told Jayden before, that I hope that she can become a couple
with Matthew. I once again selfishly wanted my daughter to make up for my mistakes towards the
Nelson family.
Up to my writing here, I realized that I am a failed human being. I am not suitable to be someone’s wife,
and someone’s mother. If I had a choice again, I wouldn’t have given in, I wouldn’t have hurt someone
else because of my own selfishness, and let myself live in pain and regret.
Jolene.”
