Chapter 555
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning
After Ethan went back to his place, he sat on the couch in the living room and smoked all night. The ashtray was filled with cigarette butts.
In the early morning, just before six oâclock, when the sky outside had just begun to brighten slightly, the servant was preparing to clean the house. She was very surprised to find the entire living room filled with smoke.
She thought, âMr. Arnold just got engaged to Ms. Jent yesterday. Shouldnât he be at the hotel with her now?â
âWhatâs the time now?â Ethan suddenly spoke. The servantâs heart skipped a beat, âMr. Arnold, itâs almost six in the morning now.â
He thought, âIs the sky outside bright now?â
Ethanâs eyes were filled with red veins as he glanced outside. When he stood up, his body swayed. He then suddenly closed his eyes and passed out.
âMr. Arnold!â The servant exclaimed. She quickly went to call the family doctor. The family doctor arrived half an hour later. After he examined Ethan, he said, âMr. Arnold was just overtired and didnât get enough rest. Let him sleep well. Heâll be fine when he wakes up.â
Evelyn had not slept all night either. She was sitting on the edge of the bed. After she got to know that Ethan had fainted, she merely sighed.
Marta approached her and covered her with a blanket, âMrs. Arnold Sr., you should get some rest now.
Itâs already morning.â
Evelyn suddenly asked, âHas the child been found?â Marta responded, âGeorge checked the surveillance footage just now. He found that the child left with a woman. And after they left⦠we couldnât find out anything about the child!
âItâs so strange. Mr. Arnold has always lived chastely and doesnât like getting into trouble. How can there be a kid who looks exactly like him?!
âIf I hadnât seen the kid with my own eyes, I wouldnât believe it.â âIn the past, when Ethan was still acting recklesslyâ¦â Evelyn responded before she suddenly remembered something, âWhere are the photos? Show me the pictures of the child leaving.â
Marta said, âOkay, okay. Iâll go get them. Donât worry for now.â
Marta then took the photos and gave them to Evelyn. Evelynâs hands trembled, and she appeared agitated as she looked through the photos. Due to the darkness last night, the childâs features looked a bit blurry in some of the photos. But overall, the childâs face was distinguishable at first glance.
Evelyn went through the photos one by one. She looked like she was searching for something. And finally⦠when she reached the last photo, she stopped.
In that picture, a woman was holding the child they were looking for. The woman was turning her head, revealing her side profile. When Evelyn saw her, she suddenly widened her eyes, âItâs her. Itâs really her.â
Marta asked, âWhoâs she?â
âWho else could it be? I knew she was hiding something when she agreed to it so easily back then,â
Evelynâs eyes darkened. She continued, âDo everything to contact Donna Jolie. If itâs really the Arnold familyâs child, I absolutely canât let him be living out there.â
Marta was shocked, âIt really is Donna. If she is back, what will Ms. Jent do? Given her personality, she probably wonât stay with Mr. Arnold. If she leaves him, heâll surely become the old him. If that happens, none of us can do anything.â
Evelyn fell silent. Marta wondered what Evelyn was thinking. Evelyn thought, On one hand, itâs my grandchild. And on the other hand, itâs the Arnold familyâs heir. I canât bear to lose either of them.â
After a long silence, Evelyn said, âWe canât let Madelyn know about this. Sheâs leaving for Paris for three months today. Letâs resolve this issue during these three months.â
She was lost in her thoughts again, The timing of this childâs appearance is just right! Donna⦠The Arnold family will never accept a person like her. I absolutely wonât allow another âSylvia to ruin my family.â
Marta responded, âOkay.â
