Chapter 893
Sweet Subterfuge
Edmund was standing right in front of her.
His head, arms, and legs were encased in thick plaster casts.
His face was also covered in bruises, just like what she had witnessed at the hospital âWendy, are you looking for her?â he asked with a seductive smile.
As he spoke, a little girl appeared by his side.
She was the same one who had called Wendy âMommyâ earlier.
The girl stood close to Edmund, her tiny hands tightly gripping his.
She peeked at Wendy with a shy gaze.
âMommy,â she called out again.
Wendy couldnât muster a response.
Edmund led the little girl closer and said, âWendy, look at her. Sheâs our daughter.â
Wendy greedily gazed at the girl her eyes Exed on her without wavering.
âIsnât she adorable?â Edmund asked.
Wendy nodded unconsciously.
He smiled. âI think so too, but unfortunately-
The little girl vanished again as he smiled.
This sudden disappearance alarmed Wendy. She hastily asked. âWhereâs my daughter? Where did she go?â
âSheâs dead!â Edmundâs expression turned sinister. âShe was killed by Kevan, Wendy! You must remember thisâKevan killed her!â
âKevan?â She tilted her head, contemplating carefully.
Indeed, there seemed to be something like that.
The moment she fell she saw a panicked look on Kevanâs face as he reached his hand cut to her.
âIt has nothing to do with Kevan. I accidentally fell. He tried to save me, but it was too late,â she earnestly told Edmund, âNo, itâs Kevan! Did you forget, Wendy? The reason we ended up like this is all thanks to Kevan and Larissal Look at me!â He grew angrier and pointed at himsell. âAll these injuries are from Kevan! He wanted to send me to jaill He wanted me dead?
She struggled to push herself off the ground. It took her some time with great effort to do so.
âItâs not like that. Youâre the one to blame for the situation weâre in today.â
Her expression changed suddenly, and she grabbed him by his neck with both her hands, âItâs you, Edmund! You ruined me! You deceived me! You slept with me! And you tricked me into losing my best friend! Youre a motherfucker Iâm going to kill you!â
Edmundâs pupils gradually dilated. Finally, they reached a limit where there was no biological response in his eyes.
âBastard Rot in hell!â
Her shout jolted Larissa, who had been in a daze, Lanssa quickly came back to her senses.
âWendy?â She rushed to Wendyâs side, trying to assess Wendyâs condition.
Wendyâs eyes remained tightly shut. However, her eye movements were rapid and Intense beneath her thin eyelids.
Larissa held her breath. Alter a few seconds, Wendy slowly opened her eyes.
Larissa did not dare to disturb her. She simply wa ted quielly beside her.
Finally, Wendy regained consciousness, and the fierceness in her eyes subsided.
She sensed someone was beside her. She turned and saw Larissa looking at her with a worried expression.
Her lips trembled. After a long while, she finally managed to speak, âIs it really you, Lar?â
She thought she might still be dreaming.
The mist in front of her eyes condensed into tears, streaming down her cheeks.
Larissaâs figure became hazy and unclear. Wendy reached out in distress, calling. âLari?
Larissa gripped her hand, her voice hoarse as she reassured, âIâm here. Wendy, donât worry.â
âLari!â Wendy sobbed, her sadness deepening. âIâm sorry! I was wrong! I shouldnât have said those hurtful things to you! I should have believed in you! Iâm such a fool!â
Larissa had considered a thousand possible reactions from Wendy when she woke upâshe hadnât dared to hope for this one..
So, she was a bit overwhelmed at first. However, Werdyâs emotions quickly infected her, and both of them ended up crying uncontrollably.
âIâm sorry too! I shouldnât have kept those things from you! If I had warned you earlier, you wouldnât have been in this state now! Wendy. can you forgive me?â
âYou must forgive me first, Lar!â
