Chapter 125
Arthur couldn't understand why she was so worried about an adopted child, but he still turned the corner immediately and changed to go to the airport.
He had a good impression of that child!
"Arthur, can you stop moving any faster?" Lucy's face was completely devoid of color. In just a dozen or so minutes, several dozen children's news of an accident had already passed through her mind!
She had booked the latest flight. The plane would take off in 15 minutes, but it would take another 45 minutes to get from here to the airport.
"It's most important to be safe." If Lucy wasn't in the car, Arthur would have dared to step on the gas pedal to the end, run the traffic light, and rush to the airport as fast as he could.
But as long as she was here, he would not take such a big risk.
Lucy did not urge him anymore. He just held his mobile phone and kept calling the little fellow. However, his mobile phone was turned off, so she could only text him— NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
"Caden, where are you now?"
[Did you see Mommy's text message? If you see it, just tell me!]
[Caden, I've transferred 50,000 dollars to your bank card. Be careful when you take money. Don't be targeted by the bad guys.]
However, there was no news from Caden, and those text messages were like stones sinking into the sea.
Psst—
The car suddenly stopped. It had just turned from a green light to a red light.
Su stared at the red light, bit his lower lip, and then clasped his hands together. Hurry up and turn green! She wouldn't be able to catch up to the plane!
However, the more she stared at him, the slower she felt that time passed.
"Relax, the security is very good now, and he is very smart. Nothing will happen." Arthur held her in his arms and patted her on the back.
At this moment, Lucy didn't have any dirty thoughts. "You don't understand."
She knew that Caden was her biological son, but he thought that it was just an adopted child. How could it be the same?
"I've already arranged for someone to look for him. Don't worry too much." Arthur was not good at comforting people, so he could only hold her tightly and tell her that he was still there.
He was so considerate, which made Lucy feel very complicated.
She had always been worried that she and Arthur's relationship was unstable. After breaking up, he
would steal Caden's raised rights, so she had been hiding the existence of Caden.
However, Caden was the child of her and Arthur. It was unfair for her to be so selfish!
Looking at the red light for 25 seconds, she made up her mind and said, "Arthur, in fact, Caden is..."
However, he couldn't finish his words.
Arthur stared blankly in front of him. Suddenly, he let go of her, pushed open the car door, and ran down without saying a word!
Lucy looked in the direction he was running in. His heart seemed to have been struck by a bomb and exploded into pieces.
The woman wore a khaki trench coat, with long black hair and a waist. Her face was exactly the same as hers!
However, this woman's temperament was more like that of a lady from a respectable family. She was not as flamboyant as she was!
—"This is Elyse!"
"Arthur!" Lucy's eyes were red as he poked his head out and shouted at the top of his lungs.
She had her own pride and dignity. She didn't want to admit that she had lost to another woman so easily!
However, Arthur didn't even turn his head. After Elyse crossed the path, he followed her without hesitation!
It hurts!
It was a heart-wrenching pain!
Lucy covered his heart, finding it hard to breathe.
Tears instantly blurred her eyes and fell on her clothes and her seat.
In the past few days, she had been so happy, happy, and satisfied. Now, she felt so sad, heartbroken, and desperate. It was even more painful, painful, and desperate than five years ago!
It turned out that in Arthur's heart, she never had the right to be compared to Elyse!
From the beginning to the end, she was just a substitute!
Beep, beep, beep—
The car behind rang twice, and the driver shouted impatiently, "The one in front, are you leaving or not?"
"Let's go!" Lucy didn't care if they could hear her or not. She replied with a choked voice, wiped away her tears, and stepped on the accelerator.
Fortunately, she didn't tell him Caden's real identity!
She had lost her lover. She couldn't lose her son anymore!
The scenery on both sides of the car flew back like the happy, painful, and helpless memories flashed across Lucy's mind.
From the expectation when she married Arthur, the despair when she made up her mind to leave him, and then the happiness after she opened up her heart to him...
For eight years, she had given him the best years of her life, but in his eyes, she was just a substitute!
Heh, what a joke!
The scene in his eyes began to become blurry. Lucy wiped away his tears and swallowed all of his sore teeth.
She should be glad that Elyse had appeared. At least... she didn't need to be a substitute for the rest of her life.
...
As soon as he saw the familiar figure, Arthur's mind went blank.
He pushed Lucy aside and got out of the car. He chased after that figure with the fastest speed possible.
At this moment, he only wanted to stop Elyse and ask her, "Since you're still alive, why didn't you come
to me?"
"Elyse!" For the first time, Arthur ignored her and called out a person's name on the street.
When the woman heard his shout, she looked back at him, and her face instantly turned pale. She recognized him, but she did not stay. Instead, she tried her best to escape!
"Elyse!" Arthur frowned and shouted as he sped up to chase after her.
He had to get to the bottom of it!
"A taxi, a taxi!" The woman was so anxious that she almost burst into tears. She stopped a taxi in a hurry and drove away.
"Elyse!" Under the strange gazes of the passers-by, Arthur chased after the taxi for nearly a kilometer until the car got farther and farther away and gradually disappeared from his sight.
He put his hands on his knees and breathed heavily. In the cool autumn sun, sweat ran down his cheeks and dripped to the ground, and then disappeared.
Ever since she 'died' in a car accident at the age of sixteen, the longing for her for the past 13 years, day and night, had become his obsession. Even when he missed Lucy, Elyse's figure still barged into his dreams!
If she was alive, why didn't she come to him?!
Arthur clenched his fists tightly. His heart seemed to have been gnawed by tens of millions of ants. It
was so painful that it was almost numb!
Beep, beep, beep—
The horn of the car rang. He straightened his body, dragged his legs that were a little sore due to excessive running, and retreated to the other end of the sidewalk.
The blankness in his mind was gradually replaced by Lucy's. He looked around, but he couldn't see her car anymore.
He began to panic and feel uneasy!
What would Lucy think when he went after Elyse without hesitation?
Taking out his phone, he called her in a panic... Even if he didn't know how to explain why he was chasing after Elyse!
However —
"Sorry, the number you dialed is on the phone. Please call later."
He called her five times in a row, but all of them were the same reminder.
"Arthur, let me go!"
When he thought back to how Lucy told him this sentence while crying, Arthur's heart began to ache.
He was very sure that he loved her, and he would never let her leave him!
"Get the plane ready." Arthur made a phone call, stopped a taxi, and rushed to the Johnson family's plane fair.
