Chapter 850 Bury the hatchet
A few simple words expressed Sophie's friendship for her. Esmae was very sad, and annoyed by her indifferent attitude, so she pretended to be angry and said,
"Idiot! You still say it so easily. If you have severe injury, I will..."
"No." Seeing Esmae's red eyes, Sophie comforted quickly,
"Aren't I doing well? Besides, I am willing to block a shot for you. This is what I owe you... I am really happy to be able to pay it back."
"Who wants you to pay it back!" Esmae said in a "bad voice", but the moisture in her eyes became excess.
Sophie sighed lowly.
"I'm sorry about your parents... because of my concealment, you were burdened with heavy shackles. After learning the truth, I have been thinking about how I should pay off this. I don't..." Before Sophie finished speaking, Esmae stopped her,
"I was the one who was so impulsive back then, and I never thought about Edwin's attitude towards me. I chose the path I took, and no one is to blame. From now on, let's not talk about the past. I, Esmae, only know that the most important friend in my life, Sophie, is back!"
"Esmae ..." Hearing Esmae's words, Sophie, who was worried about her crying, cried out first. Her eyes were red when she was crying.
Esmae couldn't bear it anymore. She gently raised her hand to wipe away the tears that Sophie shed, but forgot that she had tears in her eyes, and said,
"Sophie, I need your advice for the rest of my life."
Sophie and Esmae resolved the years of grievances with a few words, and they were still crying tenderly. Helena beside her was so moved that she burst into tears, making the two elders dumbfounded and laughed dumbly in tears.
On the deck, the sea breeze at night was no longer as gentle as it was during the day. Mixed with the splashed sea water, it kept rolling towards the two people standing by the fence. "Did Spencer die here?" Elliot said sadly, looking at the bottomless sea outside the railing.
Edwin didn't respond, but just felt sad. After several hours of salvage, Spencer's body was still missing. Maybe he was rolled into the bottom of the boat, or maybe he was dragged away by something in the sea. In short, his fate was bleak. As an elder, there was no resentment in Edwin's heart, only regret.
"It's also my fault that I'm careless. I haven't cared much about him for so many years. I know that Erik's intentions are not right, and his mother died young. I should teach him more..." As soon as he left, all kinds of regrets came to his heart. Unfortunately, no amount of regret was in vain.
"Elliot, sorry." Edwin didn't know how to comfort Elliot.
"Right now Erik is almost half crazy. When I told him the bad news, he cried and said his baby son was gone, and smiled and said he deserved it. I don't know how he should continue to live in the future." Elliot said to himself.
Thinking of Erik and his long-standing obsessions, Edwin pondered for a while and asked Elliot,
"Elliot, do you also feel that my father owed you all back then?"
"How could it be!" Elliot immediately denied Edwin's statement.
"If it wasn't for his rescue, we would have been eaten alive by relatives from my mother's side. He not only educated us, but I also know that all the start-up funds he gave us to start our business were all his own assets. My father's business was at a loss, and there is nothing left, but it's a pity that Erik ignored this fact and led to the bitter fruit like today."
"I want to settle the matter for Erik and send him back to his home. If he still has obsessions, I will give him something..." Edwin said his plan.
"You don't have to do so," Elliot said. "Now Erik has been expelled from the family long ago. I will bring him back to Scotland. For what happens after that, we can decide."
Seeing that Elliot had already figured out a way out, Edwin patted him on the shoulder, and the two of them looked at the boundless deep sea in silence, speechless since then.
The next day, the freighter continued to move forward under the rising sun, all the way to the land. This time, the people on the freighter no longer frowned, and each one was immersed in the joy of reunion. Seeing Gene again, Lucia went up and gave him a big hug. Arthur couldn't help coughing and reminding him with jealousy after a long time.
"Gene, let go now. He will take your skin off later." Victor teased.
Gene heard the words and immediately raised his hands to signal, saying innocently, "Lucia hugged me!"
A man behaved so cowardly that everyone couldn't help laughing.
Lucia let go of Gene with a smile and said gratefully,
"Gene, thank you for keeping our promise!"
Lucia was really grateful. If it weren't for Gene, the baby might not be so safe.
"I should do so." Seeing Lucia thanking himself so solemnly, Gene felt a little embarrassed.
Speaking of the agreement between Lucia and Gene, Arthur still has lingering fears. He hugged Lucia into his arms and said seriously,
"Don't make such a dangerous agreement in the future. Do you know that my heart almost stopped beating at that time."
"Okay, okay..." Lucia put her hand on Arthur's heart with a smile, and said mischievously, "It will never happen again." Underneath the joke was Lucia's solemn promise that she will never make him so worried again.
Hugging Lucia tightly, Arthur felt the overflowing happiness again.
Seeing the young people so happy, the elders kept smiling. Just when everyone was having fun, Casper and Nia suddenly appeared at the door of Sophie's cabin. When they saw them, the smiles on everyone's faces faded a lot.
Seemingly unconcerned about what everyone thought, after briefly greeting Sophie, Nia said,
"Ms. Webb, Mr. Davies, this rescue has been successfully completed. We should go back too. The freighter is going too slowly, so we plan to go back by helicopter first, and we will get together again when we get back to Athegate."
"Really?" Arthur didn't have the slightest intention to hold back, and said directly, "Then I wish you all the best of luck."
Nia wasn't annoyed. Anyway, they would have plenty of opportunities to "do business" in the future, and they were about to leave after greeting each other, but Casper said abruptly,
"Ms. Webb, can I have a few words with you alone?"
As soon as Casper finished speaking, it wasn't just Arthur and Nia who frowned, but everyone present.
"Okay." Lucia was just about to chat with Casper.This is the property of NĂ´-velDrama.Org.
