Chapter 430 There's Something Else Going On!
Silas looked at Camila and smiled. âTruthfully, my mother isn't dead. Back then, my mother was
already in the operating room by the time I rushed over to the hospital, and Brian stood outside the
operating room and blocked me from going in. I didnât know what condition my mother was in, so I
desperately begged a doctor to bring me inside. However, my mother was in critical condition at
the time. The doctor informed me that she might end up in a vegetative state. I didn't dare to tell
Brian about her condition. If she fell into a coma, how would these two sickly people take care of
each other? Thus, I went to my grandpa. He helped me sneak my mother out of the hospital and
sent her to a secret location to be treated. Moreover, he took control of the people who were
monitoring the situation from the shadows. When Brian learned that my mother did not survive the
incident, he passed out again. By the time he woke up again, he rushed over to the funeral home
and fought with me, thinking that I buried our mother behind his back. At this point, I admit that I
was using him. But, it was for his sake. He was only safe if we were not on good terms. Afterward, I
helped him get back on the right track, a little at a time. I might not have been in contact with him
all these years, but I know everything that has been going on in his life.â Camila was shaken by what
she heard. Then, she said in disbelief, âIt must have been hard for you as the elder brother. Then,
where is your mother now?â He replied, âShe's at a location I arranged for her.â After that, Camila
frowned and considered everything he had told her again. âEven if your father doesn't love your
mother, aren't you and Brian his biological sons? Why doesn't he love his own children? Besides,
wasn't he worried that both of you would be strongly criticized by the public if he turned your
motherâs incident into such a huge scandal?â He coldly spat out, âDidnât I already tell you before?
Brian and I were kids he never wanted! If he never had us, he might have had a smoother divorce!
How could he possibly care for a bunch of stumbling blocks that he hated in the first place?â
Frowning deeply, she said again, âEven if he didnât love you because he considered the two of you
little more than shackles hindering his divorce... was it worth doing all this just for Lara? Does he
love her that much? Does he love her so much that he doesnât mind claiming that he was cheated
on, setting up his ex-wife to be kicked out of the marriage with nothing but the clothes on her back,
treating his sons like they were no more than strangers, and even causing a car accident to kill your
mother after his divorce? Isn't that overdoing it a little? Don't you find it strange?â He frowned in
response but didnât bother considering it deeply. âHe has always been very caring toward Lara. Even
now, he obeys everything she says. If that isn't love, then what is it? If he didn't cause such a huge
scandal out of it, it wouldn't have been easy for him to get a divorce!â On the other hand, she didn't
know how to explain her thoughts well. Thus, she
mulled over it and tried to arrange her thoughts before saying, âLogically speaking, if all Lara and
your dad wanted was to force your mother to get a divorce, then Lara already achieved her goal! So
then, why did they have to kill your mother? Either you have been considering this from the wrong
direction, and they aren't the ones behind it at all, or they actually wanted to kill your mother to
conceal something else!â Upon hearing that, he scowled fiercely. In the beginning, he had simply
assumed that they were afraid of him exacting revenge on them, and that's why they did their best
to suppress him, use his men to kill his mother, as well as turn the brothers against each other. Now
that he heard what Camila said, he couldn't help thinking that what she said made sense.
âTomorrow, I plan to bring Brian with me to visit my mother. I'll ask her about this while I'm at it.
Why donât you come with me?â
âN-No!â she reflexively rejected the offer. âUh... I mean, I'll go with you another time.â The corners of
Silas's mouth turned up into a teasing smile. âAt first, I wanted to give you some time to mentally
prepare yourself too. But, I don't plan to marry anybody else except you. So, you don't need to feel
so mentally burdened. Besides, you've already met grandpa and Brian, so it shouldn't be a big deal
to meet your future mother-in-law, right?â
Upon hearing those words, Camila felt speechless. How is that the same? I met Grandpa and Brian
before we became a couple, okay?
