Chapter 115 I Can Fix It
Elva widened her eyes.
When did Emily open the recording?
Elva was trembling with panic, her eyes fixed on Claudia without blinking.
âHow could Mom have recorded it?â Waldron furrowed his brows and looked at Elva. âIs there
something wrong with the conversation you had?â
Elvaâs lips trembled, and her heart pounded fiercely.
A wave of despair and humiliation surged up in my heart.
Why did she record it? Because Emily didnât believe her, she had already planned to keep the evidence
from the beginning.
She really wanted to send herself to prison, without any hesitation.
The slight sense of guilt in Elvaâs heart completely dissipated.
Emily did not consider herself as her own, and she even resorted to such tactics!
Looking at the over forty-minute recording, Elvaâs face turned pale.
âIt might have been pressed accidentally,â Derrick looked at Elva, seeing her head down and looking
upset, he pursed his lips.
He also wanted to know why his mother recorded their conversations.
Waldron quickly grabbed the phone and said, âLetâs just listen and see

what Mom recorded.â
He pressed the play button.
Elvaâs body felt as if all her blood had been drained, and her heart stopped suddenly.
Just when she thought she couldnât hide it any longer, Waldronâs complaining voice rang out, âWhatâs
wrong? It wonât turn on, this phone is broken.â
He pressed other keys again, but still nothing happened.
âIt must have been broken,â Claudia sighed softly, looking thoughtfully at her phone. âGive it to me, I
can fix it.â
Waldron gave her the phone.
Elvaâs heart finally relaxed, and she let out a gentle sigh.

Early the next morning.
At the Lamontâs manor, Edmond grabbed a coat and headed outside, but Cicely stopped him with Abel.
âWhere are you going?â Cicelyâs face looked very unpleasant. âReporters, media friends, they are all
waiting for your response.â
âGo to the hospital,â Edmond said, his expression unchanged, and continued walking away.
Abel stood in front of him.
Looking at this little person, Edmondâs pupils deepened a bit.
Abel timidly shrunk his neck when he met Edmondâs dark pupils, and

asked, âDad, are you going to find Claudia?â
From the argument between his mother and him yesterday, he realized that his father didnât actually
like his mother at all.
Edmond remained silent, but Cicely, upon hearing these words, reacted angrily and shouted, âEdmond,
what on earth do you want to do?â
âDonât forget that you were Abelâs father now, Claudia is no longer your wife. She is carrying someone
elseâs child, and everything between you two is over!â
âThe word âendâ pierced into his heart like a knife.â
Thinking about what Horace said, Edmondâs face grew even colder.
âEdmond, have you forgotten that you previously said you would marry Rosalie?â Cicelyâs expression
also turned cold. âBefore, I thought it didnât matter whether you married Rosalie or not, but now it
seems that I was too naive. In order to prevent you from becoming the father of Claudiaâs child after I
die, you should still marry Rosalie.â
Instead of letting someone else raise the child, it is better to let him marry Abelâs mother, so that Abel
can also have a legitimate status.
Anyway, Rosalie was Abelâs biological mother, which was better than Claudia, who was pregnant with
someone unknownâs illegitimate child.
Marry Rosalie?
Edmond frowned slightly, âI wouldnât marry her.â
âNot getting married?â Cicely suddenly laughed, âI remember a month ago you were so determined to
marry her, why donât you want to marry her now?â

âWhat about you? You were so adamant before, insisting that I should be with Claudia, and now youâre
trying to set me up with Rosalie?â
Cicelyâs face suddenly changed color.
Edmond glanced at Abel, smiling with a deep meaning, but with a hint of coldness at the corner of his
lips.
âRegardless of whether I married Rosalie or Claudia, when have you ever truly considered me?â
âDid you really consider me as your son?â
Cicely was startled and stared at him blankly.
Cicelyâs heart sank as she noticed the desolate look in Edmondâs eyes.
Edmondâs words tore apart the darkest mask she had worn for so many
years.
It is said that two children can carry a bowl of water evenly, but she knew that she had never carried it
evenly.
Her favorite child was Tristen, and always had been.
Edmond also knew.
Not only she, but also her own husband liked Tristen the most.
Edmond was a marginalized figure in the Lamont family, as the heir of the Lamont family had always
been Tristen.
She realized how biased she had been all these years only when she knew she didnât have much time
left. However, she never expected that Tristen had another child.
Tristen is gone, if they want to trace his lineage, they can only make

Edmond acknowledge Abel.
She was selfish, and had been selfish her whole life, and she didnât care to continue being selfish.
âI was biased, but Edmond, you have now become the heir of the Lamont family,â Cicely turned her
face away and said coldly, âYou have received what you deserve.â
What should have been obtained has been obtainedâ¦
Edmond lowered his brows and sneered, that was not what he wanted
at all.
Edmondâs lips curled in a slight mockery as he continued walking
away.
Abel watched as he got closer and closer to him, and suddenly asked, âDad, will Mom go to jail?â
Edmond stood still, and Cicely quickly hugged Abel and said, âNo, your mother didnât go to jail. She has
already been released and will never go back in again.â
Thinking about the childâs future, Cicely felt extremely sorry.
Dad passed away, and mom was burdened with a lawsuit again. Education became a problem
afterwards.
Abel thought about what his mother had done, his pupils trembled, and he buried himself in Cicelyâs
arms like an ostrich.
After all, he was just a five-year-old child who had never seen such brutality before. That scene
remained etched in his mind.
His mother, surprisingly, was a bad person.

Abel blinked his eyes, and tears of fear filled his face.
Cicely didnât think much about it and assumed that he had heard some rumors, so she kept comforting
him.
Edmond frowned as he looked at Abel.
He knew that Abel was afraid of him, as a member of the Lamont family, there were some things he
should also know.
âWait for me to come back.â
He forced a smile toward Abel, took big strides and walked away. Cicely shouted from behind, but he
pretended not to hear.
In the hospital, the door of the intensive care unit finally opened.
The people waiting outside rushed forward.
The doctor walked out with a tired face and said, âThe patient is not in immediate danger.â
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, especially Thomas, whose pale face finally regained some
color.
Elva, sitting in a wheelchair, clenched her hands tightly.
However, the doctorâs next sentence made everyoneâs heart drop.
âBut you should be prepared, the patient might also be difficult to wake up.â
âWhat does it mean?â Ervin, who is usually calm, couldnât help but change his expression.
âWe did our best to save her life, but the patient suffered severe head injuries and is now essentially in
a vegetative state.â
Vegetative state!
Everyoneâs face changed dramatically, especially Thomas. He immediately felt weak in the knees and
fainted.
âDad!â

Soon, chaos ensued outside the operating room.
Claudiaâs eyes blurred, and her chest ached so much that she couldnât breathe.
Finally found my mother, but before I could fulfill my filial duty, things turned out like this.
She leaned against the wall, biting her tongue hard, just to prevent herself from fainting.
Elva heard the news and felt a burst of joy in her heart.
In her heart, she didnât want Emily to die for real, but if she could become a vegetable, that would be
the best outcome.
Just then, the phone vibrated. She took out her phone and saw the message on it, her face stiffened.
The message was sent by Sheldon: âI heard that Mrs. Friedan went to the hospital, and your mom is
worried that you must come to see you.â
