Chapter 31 She Missed Jefferson's Phone Call

Hector looked at Elianna, and his expression was slightly cold.

"Do you believe our dad?"

"I do."

Elianna's tone was firm, "Dad is an upright person. He would never do something like that." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Hector's brows softened slightly, "That's enough. As long as you know our dad didn't do it, that's enough."

"What do you mean that's enough? Brother, you were with our dad at that time. Why did he... why did he leave us in that way?"

"And Mia, why did the Gibson family keep her death a secret? What..."

"Anna."

Hector called out, and his tone became serious, "Don't ask anymore. It's all in the past."

"The past?"

Elianna's eyes were red and swollen, "Our dad, a respected musician, became a public enemy and jumped off a building while carrying a bad reputation. Even in death, he is still being criticized! How am I supposed to move on with this!"

Hector couldn't bear to see her like this and clenched his lips in restraint.

"Don't be like this, please."

Elianna's strength seemed to drain away, and she slumped down.

Yes, what else could she do?

Their whole family was pushed to a dead end by the Gibson family. If it weren't for faking their deaths and escaping, they would've lost their lives.

Even if they knew the truth, what difference would it make?

A sense of helplessness surged through her, saturating her voice, "I understand."

She got up, "Rest well, and I'll come to visit you again in a few days."

Hector moved his lips but ultimately didn't say anything.

As she left the hospital room, Elianna's mood was completely different from when she arrived.

After calming herself down, she didn't leave immediately. Instead, she went to inquire about Hector's condition with the doctors at the sanatorium.

She originally wanted to visit her mother and younger sister, but the staff at the sanatorium kept urging her, so she had to return first.

As she walked away, Elianna looked back repeatedly. Her mother should have known she was coming, so why wasn't she waiting in the hospital room?

Just as Elianna was leaving, two people appeared in the corridor.

A woman scolded a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, "Why are you running around? Didn't I tell you to let your sister see you?"

"Hmph, she doesn't have the leisure to see me. She's out there living as a rich young lady, carefree and unrestricted. How could she be like us, stuck in this remote sanatorium, wasting away."

"Nonsense, your sister is doing it all for us."

The girl was dissatisfied and pouted without saying a word.

The woman saw her unhappiness and gently touched her head. "Alright, go see your brother."

After leaving the sanatorium, Elianna aimlessly drove on the road.

She didn't want to go back to her and Asher's home, but if she didn't go home, she didn't know where to go.

Suddenly, she remembered that Jefferson had told her to wait for his phone call.

She casually picked up the phone on the passenger seat and glanced at it, immediately freezing in place.

Missed calls.

The call had come in an hour ago, with less than ten minutes between the first and second missed calls.

She had been in a hurry to see Hector and had left her phone in the car.

Looking at Jefferson's name on the screen, Elianna had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.

She never expected Jefferson to call at this time.

Although Jefferson didn't say why he was calling, there was nothing else between them except for that matter.

Besides, she had clearly felt that Jefferson wasn't satisfied with their last time together.

She quickly found a place to park the car and organized her thoughts before calling back.

As she waited for his answer to her call, Elianna's heart trembled with every beat.

There weren't many people brave enough to not answer Jefferson's call.

No, there were none.

As soon as the call connected, Elianna didn't dare to wait and preemptively explained.

"It's me, Elianna. I'm sorry. I forgot to bring my phone and just saw your missed calls. Where are you? I'll come over now."
