Chapter 528 Back To The Hua Family (Part One)
That day, on a couch inside the Seaview Villa.
Terence sat there with sweat dripping from his forehead. The table that was in front of him had been
flipped over and the coffee had gotten splattered all over the place. Frantically opening his collar,
Terence gasped.
"Nathan, tell me the truth! She is alive, isn't she?" —
Nathan was left utterly dumbfounded. He stared at his boss for a long while without saying anything.
After a while, he took one big gulp and nodded his head, slowly but with quite a heavy heart.
"... Yes, Mrs. Carla is still alive!"
Ever since he heard the news about Carla's death, Terence started having moments when he'd
completely lose control. Even after he was successfully put under hypnosis, he would still turn into this
from time to time, but not as frequent as before.
There were times when Terence's memory would be in a state of disarray.
In his mind, it was like two entirely different figures had been in constant conflict with each other. The
tragic memory, which should have been masked completely by the hypnosis, would randomly flood his
thoughts every now and then.
That being said, it had actually been a while since he last got so infuriated like this.
Nathan thought that Carla's sudden return was probably the catalyst that woke up his memories once
again.
With a pair of bloodshot eyes, Terence gave him a menacing glare, itching to hear an answer,
"Nathan... What are you talking about? What are you trying to say?"
"Mr. Terence, as it turned out, Mrs. Carla didn't really die. And she has finally returned!"
Nathan remembered clearly that a while back, whenever Terence would ask him about Carla, he would
always give him the same reply every single time—that his wife was already gone.
He had to do this in order to help Terence come to terms with the truth.
Then Terence lunged forward and grabbed Nathan's collar faster than he could react. Obviously fuming
with anger, he asked, "What? Say that one more time!"
"Yes, Mr. Terence, you heard that correctly. Mrs. Carla has returned. And it wasn't just her. She came
back together with your daughter as well!"
Nathan answered in a loud voice and with his eyes closed as he gritted his teeth. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Upon hearing his reply, Terence fell silent. His eyes were completely dilated as he stared intently at
Nathan without blinking.
"Do you realize what's going to happen once I find out that you're lying to me?"
Opening his eyes, Nathan took in a deep breath and answered resolutely, "Yes, I'm perfectly aware of
that! But Mr. Terence, believe me. I'm not making these things up. It is really true that Mrs. Carla is alive
and she came back!"
"So, you said you weren't making it all up. A dead body was found, and it was confirmed that it
belonged to her. How are you going to explain the fact that she is indeed still alive now?" Terence's
chest was visibly heaving in and out. The light in his eyes disappeared as soon as he closed them.
"Well, Mr. Terence... Regarding that dead body that was retrieved... it didn't really belong to Mrs. Carla.
It was actually Mr. Edmund who decided to tell you that that was the case. He couldn't sit quietly and
watch you wait in vain. For that reason, he decided to do something when they were trying to identify
the dead body that was retrieved."
Every single person around him had been lying to his face all this time. Finding that out after so long
brought him so much pain.
However, they didn't just do it to make a fool out of him. Those people had a reason to do so.
Carla had been missing for such a long time. They thought that even though the dead body didn't really
belong to Carla, they assumed that she must not have survived the flood, so her body was bound to
show up sooner or later.
They wanted Terence to learn to accept the truth and move on as soon as possible.
Terence pressed his hand against his head, which was starting to hurt once again. With his eyebrows
deeply knitted, he asked, "Nathan, what is it exactly that you are trying to say?"
"Mr. Terence, I sincerely apologize on everyone's behalf for deceiving you. I'm well aware that we
shouldn't have made such an impetuous decision or listened to Mr. Edmund for that matter. We are
terribly sorry..."
Nathan was still holding himself responsible for what had befallen Terence. If they hadn't hastily come
up with the conclusion that Mrs. Carla had died, Terence wouldn't have been hurt as badly as he was
right now.
After all, who on earth would've expected that Carla would show up alive and well after going missing
for such a long time?!
Terence tried to pull himself little by little, his red eyes fixed on Nathan without so much as a single
blink. It seemed that his breath was getting much slower than it was a few seconds ago.
"... You also said that she had come back, and with a little girl. Is that true?"
Nathan simply kept on nodding his head in response.
"... So where are they at the moment? Where can I find them?"
Terence asked, with his voice sounding like it was about to break.
Straight away, Nathan gave him an answer, "Mr. Terence, Mrs. Carla has probably returned to her birth
parents' home by now. I received word a few moments ago that the two of them had just arrived at the
Hua family home."
Terence squinted his eyes in utter disbelief. Hearing those words from Nathan, he was having a bit of a
hard time trying to process everything.
"Nathan, if you are making all of these things up, I am going to kill you personally. Do you understand
that?"
He felt as though he had been waiting for an eternity. If she was still alive, why didn't she come back
much sooner?
Why did she only decide to show up now after all these years?
"I, Nathan, swear on my grave that I am not lying to Mr. Terence!"
