Chapter 198 Alstonâs Revenge Get Bonus âGrand... Grandma... Why are you here?â Cynthia was stuttering while speaking. She and Lorenz looked at each other and found their eyes were full of panic.
âWhen did she come here? How much did she hear? Did she know the news of my motherâs death?â Cynthia kept asking in her heart.
Old Mrs. Green smiled and took Cynthiaâs hand. âI was looking for you two. Why are you hiding here? Come to eat soon. I asked the servants to make a lot of meals, all of which you like to eat.â
After speaking, she pulled Cynthia to the living room.
Seeing that Old Mrs. Green had no abnormal expression, Lorenz heaved a sigh of relief. Old Mrs. Green seemed not to hear what Lorenz and Cynthia had said.
Cynthia looked back at Lorenz while walking towards the living room. Seeing Lorenz waving at her, she frowned and didnât feel relaxed.
They were both lost in their thoughts and didnât notice Old Mrs. Greenâs eyes were red, and her empty hand kept shaking.
The meal was enjoyable. After that, considering Cynthia, Lorenz, and the babies had traveled on for a whole day, Old Mrs.
Green asked to rest.
Cynthia lived in Lynnâs room. It could tell from the spotlessness of the room that it was often cleaned and tidied up. It was a large, pink, dreamlike room with a bigâsize princess bed decorated with a fantastic gauze curtain on which many dolls lay.
Cynthia looked around quietly, and Mrs. Green brought some daily necessities and said, âLynn used to live here. Since she left, it has been cleaned every day. The arrangement of the room is the same as before. It hasnât changed for twenty years.â
Cynthiaâs throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing her look, Mrs. Green held her in her arms and comforted her in a gentle voice. âItâs okay, my good girl. Lynn has suffered so much for so many years and is finally free. We who are still alive canât be so far gone in sadness forever. We must look forward. You are her only daughter. You must go on with life and see more of the world for your mother.â
Her embrace was so warm that Cynthia rubbed it greedily. She said in a choked voice, âI see!â
Old Mrs. Green slowly returned to her room, and the smile on her face had disappeared. She sat in front of the vanity mirror, looking ten years older in an instant, and the tears she had been holding back flowed down her face.
She looked at the family photo on the desk, in which Lynn was only eighteen years old, standing beside her with a gentle, pleasant smile. Seeing her smile, Old Mrs. Green seemed to hear her crisp voice calling her.
âMy such a wellâbehaved daughter. Why did she leave? How much did she suffer? She died before us.â Old Mrs. Green thought grievously.
Get Bonus She was afraid that her crying would be heard, so she covered her mouth. But she was so painful that she couldnât control her voice of hoarse moan and trembling body.
Old Mr. Green excitedly walked in with a kite and said, âI just found this kite in the storage room. It was made by Lynn and me.
When Cynthia wakes up later, I will take her to the lawn to fly it. She must like it...â
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Old Mrs. Green lying on the desk in front of the vanity mirror, trembling from crying, with tears all over her face. He was terrified and at a loss. âDear, whatâs wrong with you? Why are you crying? Is it because you are so excited to see Cynthia?â
âDear!â Old Mrs. Green turned her head, and her hoarse voice was full of sadness. âLynn has died... Cynthia came here this time to deliver Lynnâs ashes.â
Her words brought Old Mr. Green up short, and the kite in his hand fell to the ground with a snap. The kite was old and fragile, so it fell apart as soon as it fell to the ground, like their current hearts.
âLynn... How is it possible?â
Cynthia had been away for almost a day, and Alston had been looking at his watch. âShe should have arrived in Coast City by this time and met the people of the Green family. But why didnât she send him a message to report her safety?â He thought worriedly.
He walked up and down the office with a sullen face, constantly looking at his watch and cell.
Suddenly, the phone rang, and his face was filled with joy. He rushed over to pick up the phone. Before he saw the number, he answered the phone, and his voice was full of surprise.
The person on the other end of the line was stunned when he heard this and said in a deep voice, âMr. Smith, Alex is clamoring to leave.â
It was not Cynthia.
âI almost forgot this dog!â Alstonâs heart sank suddenly, and his eyes became colder. âIâll go over. You guys continue to keep an eye on him.â
It just so happened that he was irritable right now, and he needed an opportunity to vent. Alex is that opportunity.
Alston hung up the phone, picked up his coat, and drove straight to the house where Alex was placed. It was different from the last time. He could hear Alexâs arrogant scolding as soon as he arrived at the door before, but this time he couldnât hear a single sound.
He sneered and walked in.
âMr. Smith, youâre here!â The bodyguard saw Alston and hurriedly invited him in. When Alston entered, he saw Alex being guarded by two bodyguards, obediently sitting on the sofa and not daring to move.
Last time, there was only one maid here, so Alex was very insolent. Now, Alston specially sent three people to guard him. Then even if Alex dared to make trouble, he could only scold in a low voice.
Get Borus When Alex saw Alston coming, he became excited and wanted to rush over, but the bodyguards pressed his shoulders to sit down.
Alston sat on the sofa unhurriedly and looked at him. âWhatâs going on?â
Seeing that Alston asked, Alex wanted to break free from the bodyguards. But after struggling for a long time, he couldnât. Then he could only be pressed forcibly and begged Alston, âMr. Smith, this time I agree to donate a kidney and follow you here. When the time for the operation was set, the patient committed suicide. So it wasnât my fault. Since I am useless, there is no need for me to continue to stay here. I also feel sorry for spending your money on my life.â
âHow about...â He looked at Alston tentatively and whispered, âYou let me go?â
Alston raised his eyebrows. He had learned Alexâs shamelessness for a long time, so he didnât find it strange. âIndeed, as you said, you are useless, and it is inappropriate for your stay here...â
Before he could finish, Alex expressed his gratitude loudly, âMr. Smith, you are such a kind person. I will always remember your kindness and virtue in my heart...â
Alex was ecstatic in his heart. Alston had already spent money to redeem him from Jakson, and he had gotten free food and drink in the villa for a few days. He had someone to serve him and didnât have to cut his kidney. This kind of life was enjoyable, but according to his brain and the experience he had gained from the street since he was a child, he couldnât stay for a long time.
Now, although he was useless, he still remembered his temporary repentance caused the delay of the operation for Alstonâs motherâinâlaw. He knew he was part of the reason for her death, so he had to leave as soon as possible.
It was the instinct of a mere cipher to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Alex initially thought Alston wouldnât let him go and that he had to try every means to persuade Alston, but he didnât expect Alston to agree immediately.
âMr. Smith, donât worry. After I go home, I will publicize your kindness to my brothers and let you...â
âWait!â Alston sneered, and his dark eyes looked deeper. âWhen did I say I would let you go home?â
âWhat?â Alex was stunned. âJust now, you said... That itâs inappropriate for me to stay here...â
His voice weakened, and his pupils suddenly dilated. He looked at Alston with a pale face. âYou. You are lying. to me, arenât you?â
âNo, no, no!â Alston wagged his slender index finger. âI didnât lie to you. I just said itâs inappropriate for you to stay here, but I didnât say to let you go home!â
Moments after he spoke, the villa door was knocked, and the bodyguard opened it. Jakson brought someone 1. in.
When Alex saw comerâs face, he was terrified and flinched suddenly. âJak... Jakson. Why does he come? I have already paid back the money I owed, and Mr. Smith helped me pay it back. You canât get me into trouble.
You canât...â
Get Bonus Jakson looked at his embarrassed and frightened look with a cold face. Although his handsome face was expressionless, he looked ruthless and fierce because of his aura.
âAlex, I think you have misunderstood it. Mr. Smith never said to help you pay back the money. He just took you away from me before I cut off your hand.â
Alex looked at Alston in bewilderment. âMr. Smith!â
Alston was tall and straight. He leaned against the back of the sofa like a giant beast, lazy but full of menace. âYes, as Jakson said, I just brought you here, and I didnât say to help you pay back the money.â
âSince you dare to break the contract, why canât I lie to you?â
As soon as Alston finished his words, Alexâs heart turned to water. He realized all of this was Alstonâs revenge.
