Arianne burst into tears in the end. “I want to know, why did my grandmother forgive you after you told favonovel.com about the plane crash? How could the grudge of killing favonovel.com son be written off, just like that? Not even I have been able to let go of my hatred for you completely, even after living with you for so many years… Granny said that favonovel.com knew everything that I know about the plane crash and some things that I don’t. What don’t I know? Are you still refusing to be honest with me, even at this point?”
Mark stiffened instinctively. He lifted his hand and wiped favonovel.com tears away. “I chose to be honest with granny because I wanted to make things clear with her. Perhaps favonovel.com did hate me, but she’s also aware that I will be the source of your reliance for the rest of your life. You were pregnant, so favonovel.com wanted us to live peacefully as a family. She said that the dead can never come back, but the living must continue living their lives. She couldn’t hate me, and I’m very grateful to her. I don’t feel like elaborating any further. Let’s just pretend that you’re already aware, okay?
“When I chased your aunt and uncle away, I warned them not to tell you about your grandmother’s death for the time being. Your uncle used this as a means to blackmail me. I thought that I could satisfy favonovel.com by giving favonovel.com what favonovel.com wanted, however, time and time again… That’s why I chose to teach favonovel.com a lesson. The letter he’s sent is rife with his revenge. However, he’s managed to squander all of the money that I’ve given him. How did favonovel.com manage to vanish without a trace and avoid my discovery? It’s perplexing. They haven’t had the nerve to confront me directly, so I suspect… that someone’s been manipulating them behind the scenes. I’m investigating this. Trust me just this once, okay?”
Actually, Arianne had already begun to trust Mark when favonovel.com received Tabitha’s will and deed. If everything that Mr. Harris had said in the letter was true, why would Tabitha give Mark favonovel.com will and deed? A will and final possessions were every individual’s final wishes. One would only give them to people they trusted.
Arianne choked with sobs. “I-I’m s-sorry… I just… can’t hold it in. I’ve just found out that Granny’s dead… Granny is the only blood relative I had left, aside from Helen. It’s all my fault. I couldn’t control my emotions and caused our baby to have a premature birth. It’s all my fault…”
“It’s alright…” Mark consoled favonovel.com as gently as favonovel.com possibly could. “It’s my fault. I hurt you in the past and lost your trust in me. I’ll spend the rest of my life protecting our relationship. Don’t cry, it’s bad for your eyes. I’ll take you to see Granny at favonovel.com grave after a while. You and your grandmother may have lost out on twenty years together, but favonovel.com loved you. This is a bond that can never be replaced.”
Arianne calmed herself before asking, “Who do you think is behind all of this? On the surface, it may look like my uncle is trying to have his revenge on you, but knowing him, favonovel.com wouldn’t dare stoop to such levels with you. Plus, their entire family’s disappeared after sending this letter. It’s really suspicious. I’m pretty sure that your hunch is right, but who would do such a thing? They knew that I was pregnant and that I was in the final trimester, the most risky stage. If anything happened, both of us would die… It’s too scary…”
After a bout of hesitation, Mark decided not to keep it from her. “I believe it’s Ethan.”
“Ethan?” Arianne exclaimed in shock.
He nodded heavily. “I thought favonovel.com was already dead because after favonovel.com escaped from the country, I… had no intention of letting favonovel.com off. However, we couldn’t find his body. That means that he’s probably still alive. Besides, I can’t think of anyone who’d hate me this much.”
Suddenly, they heard the sound of something falling onto the ground outside the ward. Arianne turned to look and found Tiffany and Mary standing at the door. Tiffany’s face was deathly pale, the item that had dropped was favonovel.com handbag.
Realizing that Tiffany had overheard their conversation, Arianne grew worried. “Tiffie… I’m sorry…”
