Chapter 496 Consideration
Chapter 496 Consideration
Harris and Albert also secretly wiped their tears, but for their own sake, they couldn't cry in front of the younger generation. Enrique stood aside and thought in his heart, 'It would be good for the whole family to be together like this.'
He also realized that if Teresa could stand on his side and not interfere in the matter of Ives, he might be able to turn a blind eye to that matter.
After all, they had to live their rest life. They could choose to live a happy life. Why did they have to torture each other? But Teresa didn't seem to think so. Teresa had calmed down a little bit.
Holding Brain and Bruce who had fallen asleep in her arms, she looked up at Albert and said slowly.
"Dad, do you know Ives?"
At first, Albert, Harris, and Gavin, the three of them were very happy, but when they heard Teresa's question, they were obviously stunned, and then their expressions changed. They still remembered what happened at the funeral of Teresa.
He dared to set a trap on them back then. The horrible level of such a man was really frightening, especially his means of revenge and endurance...
"Abby, why do you ask this question?"
"Because after I fell into the river, it was Ives who saved me. He said I was his daughter, but I heard from my brother that he was kidnapped by him. I... I..."
Teresa turned her face away. Jerome was arranged to another ward, because the wound on his arm was getting worse and worse. And it was obvious that he had a slight fever in the J City.
During that time when they were hiding in that small village, Jerome and she had put everything clear to each other. She also knew that after she fell into the river, she disappeared. They thought that she was dead, and only her brother believed that she was still alive.
So he rented a yacht to look for her on the river. But he didn't expect to be knocked out by a sneak attack. When he woke up, he was tied to the small villa of the Ives.
Teresa was not a person who didn't know right from wrong. Moreover, even if Ives was really her biological father and they were related by blood, she would still repay Albert's kindness for raising him.
"You mean Jerome is back? Where is he?"
Albert looked around and didn't see Jerome. It was a big blow to him during this period of time, and Jerome suddenly disappeared.
He didn't expect that Jerome was kidnapped by that old bastard, which was called the crime of kidnapping, but they didn't have conclusive evidence, otherwise...
Albert didn't look good. Teresa looked at Albert, and then looked at Harris and Gavin who also looked pale. Did they hide something from her?
"In order to save me, my brother was shot in the arm. Now the wound is a little infected. He has been treated. Maybe he will come over later."
Albert didn't say anything more. Enrique reached out his hand, took Bruce from Teresa's hand and patted Teresa on the shoulder.
"Let's go. Dad needs some rest. We'll come back later." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Teresa nodded. In that case, she had to wait for a while. Maybe Enrique also knew something. Among so many people, she seemed to be the only one who was kept in the dark. She felt very uncomfortable.
Back to the ward of the two children, there were still tear stains on the corners of the eyes of Brain and Bruce, especially the two children, who were terribly thin in just a few days.
"How did you take care of the children? Why are they so thin?"
Teresa felt sorry for them. Enrique put down Bruce and looked up at the woman who was complaining about him. How could this woman have no conscience? Didn't she see that he was terribly thin too?
"Why don't you say anything? You haven't taken good care of the two kids. You are their father!"
"You only care about your two sons. Why don't you look at me? I'm thin, too."
"How old are you? How old is the children?"
"Yes, yes, you are right. I really didn't fulfill my responsibility as a father these two days."
Looking at the two children lying on the bed, Enrique's eyes flashed. Previously, he actually had two children to comfort him.
Because of Teresa, he didn't want to see these two children for a period of time. It seemed that he was more childish than these two children?
Thinking of this, Enrique smiled. He felt everything was fine now. Teresa rolled her eyes at Enrique. How dare he smile? In that case, as a father, shouldn't he be with his two children?
"Yes, Ives is your father,"
Hearing this, Teresa was stunned. Enrique tucked the children in and said casually.
"Really? I thought he was lying to me."
"It's true. But I think there is one more thing that he hasn't told you."
Enrique stood up and looked at Teresa. Teresa was stunned. Looking at his serious face, she knew that what he was going to say next must be true.
"He is your biological father, but your mother was not willing to do that. On the night your mother and her husband got married, your mother was raped by him, and then you were born. Moreover, my mother died at the hands of the assassin hired by Ives. That is to say, you are actually the daughter of the man who killed my mother."
Teresa took two steps back. It was not true. She frowned. She remembered the past. Enrique thought Albert was his mother killer, so he used her to revenge the Gu Family.
The misunderstanding in the past made her pregnant with two children. She was slandered and hurt by him. At last, the misunderstanding was cleared up. He came to apologize, but she could not forgive the man in front of her.
It was not until many years later that the grudge between him and her had just been resolved that he suddenly told her that in fact, she was the daughter of the person who had killed his mother.
"Teresa."
Enrique walked towards Teresa. In a trance, Teresa instinctively stood in front of the two children, which hurt Enrique's heart.
'Why is she so wary of me? Those two children were also his children. Was he really so crazy to get his own flesh and blood involved in the matter of that year?'
"I... I am sorry... Now... I'm in a mess now. I want to be alone for a while."
"Teresa, this is the truth that my father, your adoptive father and Uncle Gavin don't want to tell you. But I think there are some things that I'd rather tell you the answer directly than hide it from you. When you figure it out, tell me your decision. Do you want your husband, child and adoptive father, or your father who has never cared about your life or death since you were born?"
