Chapter 433 His Mother Was Still Alive
When I’m older, I want to find a place like this to live out my elderly years! On the other hand, North had a delighted expression on his face all this while. He looked like he was very proud of his father!
They walked around a rocky cliff and traversed through a maze-like path for a long while before they arrived at a villa. It was a three-story villa with stand-alone buildings on both sides and an intricately carved gate. Upon walking inside, they were greeted with a cobblestone path.
Moreover, there were all sorts of rare vegetation planted in the garden. Not only that, but even the swimming pool and the garden were very well-maintained. One glance was enough to tell that the owner here was very stylish! It was spring all year round, and the scenery was beautiful. Thus, it was the perfect place for somebody to recuperate from their illness!
Eugene felt inexplicably touched. I finally managed to bring Olivia here! My mother has always asked me to bring Olivia here for her to see, but I didn’t dare to tell Olivia about the ugly side of the Nolan Family. I was afraid that it would scare her away. It seems like my dispute with Brian this time around isn’t without any benefits!
Meanwhile, Olivia became extremely nervous for some reason, and her hand, which was held by Eugene, started sweating slightly. However, North bounced around excitedly. He didn’t seem to have the self-awareness of being at somebody else’s house.
On the other hand, Brian glanced about his surroundings. The yard gave him an inexplicably familiar feeling. The nearer he got, the stronger that feeling became. All of a sudden, he realized why. Isn’t this how my house used to look more than 10 years ago? Even the positioning of the plants is the same!
Those are the tulips and the lavender that my mother used to love. Even the swing is placed in the same position! His heart began to pound wildly. Why does this place look so similar to my house? Why did Eugene bring me here? Don’t tell me… No; no. No… That’s impossible! Mom has been dead for so many years. How can she still be alive?
Despite that, he subconsciously wanted to learn the answer to his questions. Thus, his steps became longer and longer. The door to the house was ajar. As soon as he entered the house, he saw a woman sitting on the sofa, hugging a little orange cat in her arms.
She rebukingly said, “You’re way too lazy! How can you snuggle against me and fall asleep?!” As she spoke, she stood up and headed toward the bedroom.
Brian started trembling uncontrollably, and his tears began to fall. It’s really Mom! She’s alive…
At the same time, Olivia widened her eyes in surprise. Didn’t Eugene say she had difficulty walking?! Then, she glared at Eugene accusingly as if rebuking him for lying to her!
Eugene burst out laughing. If I didn’t say that I needed her to come and treat my mother, she wouldn’t have come! However, he simply touched her comfortingly as she was about to explode from anger.
“To be honest, she’s been cured. Even so, I don’t feel at ease. So, I would like you to examine her, please!” After saying that, he shouted toward the woman who was heading back to her bedroom, “Mom—”
The woman paused and turned back abruptly. When she saw the four people standing by the door, she was completely taken aback. She studied Olivia curiously, then looked at North. Finally, her gaze landed on Brian, and her tears instantly caused her vision to go blurry. “Brian—” Then, she stumbled toward them.
Brian’s eyes were red-rimmed. After the joy that came with knowing his mother was still alive, it transformed into a strong sense of bitterness. She is still alive. Yet, she has never even contacted me once throughout these years.
She didn’t care about how much I missed her and longed for her; she didn’t care that I became enemies with Eugene because of that incident; she didn’t care that I had been all alone without anybody to lean on!
More annoyingly, Eugene knew everything, but he said nothing! He has been playing me for a fool! “Did you fake your death just to be rid of me?!”
