Esmae glared at Edwin coldly. Her disdainful look seemed to want him to continue.
"Esmae, did you express your feelings to me clearly back then?" Edwin asked the first question.
Esmae said nothing.
"Have you ever noticed that I were only very nice to you, different from others?" Edwin asked the second time question.
Esmae was silent.
"Is there anything when I got along with you that is ambiguous enough to cause you to misunderstand?" Edwin asked the third question.
Esmae frowned.
"Not at all, right?" Edwin said in a deep voice, "Esmae, haven't you thought about yourself from the beginning to the end? Are all these misunderstandings just due to your own wishful thinking?"
"dwin!" Thinking Edwin's words were too straightforward, Sophie stopped him immediately, but Edwin stopped her instead.
"Sophie, don't make a sound. Since she's obsessed, I'll let her see the reality!" After Edwin said this to Sophie, he turned to Esmae and continued,
"You said that you had a deep love for me back then, but as far as I am concerned, you were just an ordinary friend. Because you and Sophie had a deep friendship, we had more contact than other classmates. Because you did not find the only bridge between us is Sophie!"
Esmae was shocked when she heard this, and she couldn't help looking at Sophie. She saw Sophie's frowning eyebrows, and her eyes were downcast. It was clear that she had acquiesced to Edwin's words. "Maybe you think what I said is a bit ruthless, but it's the truth. The three of us can came together because Sophie was the connection between us. Sophie and I have been recognized as a couple since junior high school. Yes, I have never changed my feelings for her for so many years, but you appeared in high school and just based on your wishful feelings for me. No matter what you experienced after that, it was a self-behavior that you had not communicated with me or confessed to me. After that, you accused Sophie who is kind, accused us of lying to you and deceiving you. This is ridiculous in my opinion. It was not me who accepted your feelings and deceived you to go abroad. In this life, I never owe you anything!"
What Edwin said was the crux of the relationship between the three. In fact, from the very beginning, it was their helpless wishful thinking towards Esmae. Indeed, Edwin's words may sound cold, but they were the clearest facts. Everything Esmae had experienced came from her obsession with living in her own fantasy world.
"I don't know what you think, but you would blame me and Sophie for this. Destiny has its own trajectory. If you hadn't gone abroad, how could you have met your husband who loves you so much now, and gave birth to such outstanding children? Everything develops according to the steps of the past. If you cherish what you have now, you should not cling to the misunderstandings of the past, so that you can truly let go of hatred and continue to live without any problems."
Edwin persuaded Esmae bitterly.
Unfortunately, Esmae didn't want to listen to it. She wasn't willing. Maybe, because Edwin really got to the point.
"I don't want to listen to your sophistry. Anyway, I have already informed you about Teddy's condition," Esmae said coldly, hiding the already shaken belief in her heart,
"Give them the blood sample. This is Teddy's blood sample. You can take this to find a suitable match for him. Remember, it must be an immediate family member within three generations, and the donor can't be more than sixty years old. Wait until you find this person. Bring this person for further lymphocyte toxicity test, human leukocyte antigen A system, and group reactive antibody test."
Esmae never imagined that one day she would memorize so many medical terms, and it was all because of Teddy who was poor....
"I said so much. Didn't you hear a word?" Edwin sighed.
"I'm here just for Teddy. The rest is irrelevant." Esmae replied nonchalantly.
"Edwin, forget it. Let's contact the relatives immediately." Sophie was already disappointed with Esmae's attitude, and now she just wanted to find a match for her grandson as soon as possible. "Esmae, we'll inform Lucia and Arthur. We won't bother you." Edwin said to Esmae deliberately, and he drew a clear line in front of her, letting her know that Lucia was already part of Davis family.. "Whatever you want," Esmae was actually worried about how to tell Lucia. If they were willing to take the pain, it was up to them. She continued,
"My mobile phone is on 24 hours a day. When you find a match, contact me immediately."
After Esmae finished speaking, the entourage beside her immediately politely presented a black gold-embedded business card to Edwin. Edwin took it and put it into his pocket without looking at it, saying, "Then we'll leave first. We'll contact you when we have news."
If continuing to stay here, Edwin only felt angry. After saying this, he wrapped his arms around Sophie's waist and walked out. Even when Esmae's entourage intended to send them off, he said coldly, "No need."
Sophie followed her husband's footsteps. After a few steps, she couldn't help but look back at Esmae. In the gap where the door to the room was closed, she saw Esmae bowing her head and wiping her tears with a handkerchief.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Was Esmae crying again?
What was she for?
Was it just for poor Teddy, was is it for the past between them?
As soon as the door closed, Sophie could no longer guess.
Their moods were completely different from when they came. When they walked out of Esmae's room, Edwin and Sophie's footsteps seemed to be tied to the shackles, which were extremely heavy. Facing her husband only, Sophie's tears finally couldn't help falling down. She leaned on Edwin's shoulder and choked,
"Why is it so unfair to torture our Teddy..."
Edwin was equally heartbroken. He and his grandson had just met each other and had not spent much time together. Why did he fall ill? But even though his mood was so low, he still gave priority to comforting his wife,
"Sophie, don't worry. Now that medicine is developed. As long as we find a suitable match for Teddy and do a transplant operation, he can be cured. We must have confidence."
"Well, Teddy will definitely recover," Sophie raised her eyes to look at her husband after hearing this. She needed to identify her beliefs, but she hesitated again,
"But... how do you tell Lucia and Arthur?"
Edwin was speechless. He didn't know how to answer this question for a while. Telling such a cruel fact to Lucia and Arthur was a huge blow to them, especially Lucia. Theodore was her life!
