Chapter 40
On the other end of the phone, Victor's cold eyes followed after Bethany and Myra, who were chatting happily.
He said, stressing each syllable, "I want to see Cyan's photo by tomorrow, and I want to know which orphanage Cyan's from." Victor hung up the phone in anger after he said that.
Anson widened his eyes on the other end of the line.
What the heck?
What got over Victor?
It was not easy for Anson to travel back and forth just to solve all these tasks given by Victor.
Anson cursed Victor in secret and then put away his phone.
Suddenly, something popped up in his mind again.
"Cyan? Orphanage? Could Cyan be Eden?" He muttered to himself word by word.
"Oh! Could this be a coincidence?" He carried his suitcase and hurried to the airport. His elegant pace became rushed.
Victor turned around and looked at the empty seat where Eden had just sat.
His gaze shifted to the glass door, and he saw Eden was looking at the ground. She still looked like she was in a lot of pain.
Jasper stood beside her and comforted her.
It was as if this scene was a knife that pierced through Victor's heart.
Victor had a very strong feeling that Eden Bleu was Eden Clement.
Why would a normal person erase her past for no reason?
There was only one possibility. She did not want anyone to know her identity and her whereabouts.
Just like his mother, who would send them messages to tell them that she was safe but otherwise was completely untraceable.
Victor stared at them with his deep-set eyes until both of them disappeared from his sight.
It was as if his heart was left behind too.
It was the first time he experienced such a feeling after so many years.
Victor thought, Eden, I've been looking for you for so many years. Why haven't you come back yet?
I've always believed that you're still alive, and you will definitely come back to me. You said that you will stay with me for the rest of your life.
This hope stemmed from the most painful part of his heart.
His soul would only find solace and peace when Eden returned to him.
Eden told Jasper about her encounter with Myra and Bethany.
Upon hearing that, Jasper regretted not accompanying Eden just now.
Eden's pale face showed that she was still in a daze. She stared blankly at the street under the neon lights.
Jasper stood beside her and looked worriedly at her. He carefully guarded her because he was afraid that she would fall down.
She still could not forget the pain deep within her even though seven years had already passed.
Seven years ago, she was not badly injured from the car accident, but she was disheartened and did not want to face reality.
It took Jasper and his sister a lot of effort to make Eden have the will to live. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Jasper and Abigail thought that Eden would forget the past after seven years.
With Kenny, Ricky, and Gia by her side, the pain in her heart would ease a little.
She had been extremely busy for the past seven years. It seemed like she was making herself busy so she would not have time to think about her horrible past.
However, she did not expect that she would run into the Gienger family so soon. The pain and regret flooded her heart, and it forced her to reveal her vulnerable side.
"Eden, don't be upset. How could I leave you alone if you're like this." Jasper suddenly said.
Eden slowly turned around and stared blankly at him.
She pursed her lips slightly. She had an urge to laugh, but she could not force the laughter out of her. Her eyes were dimmed, and her voice was hoarse. "Jasper, what did you just say?"
Jasper pulled a bitter smile. She was not listening to him at all.
She would be even worried if he told her.
He smiled and said with a soft voice, "Eden, shall I send you back?"
Eden quickly shook her head. She was in a much better mood now. If she met the Gienger family again, she would be able to face them bravely.
She had to be strong for herself.
She had come back for revenge. Next time, she
would not be so vulnerable anymore.
