Elizabeth sat in the car, looking out the window at the familiar scenery and streets, her eyes were a little dry. She used to want to leave the city, go out and see the world, but now, after staying outside for a while, she wanted to come back.
Fiona was really a dedicated bodyguard. Sitting beside her, she was like an invisible man.
Therefore, she gave herself a very short time. She had already booked a plane ticket to Australia at night, so she directly went to see April.
Joshua had already made an arrangement for her.
As once aunts and nieces, they had nothing to say. Now that they had met, they did not know what to say.
"Elizabeth, I'm sorry! I didn't have the qualifications to be your mother. Just take me as a dead people, and don't ever see me again. I don't want to implicate you in this! " April felt ashamed and guilty, and couldn't help but apologize to her.
"It's already like this, don't say such words
anymore. I just want to ask you, why did you give birth to me back then?" You know you don't have the ability to raise me, but why did you give me back my life? " When Elizabeth asked this question, she had already calmed down. She felt that if she was even more surprised, she wouldn't be able to lift the waves in her heart.
"If I say... I... Would you hate me more if you were forced to give birth to you? " As matters stood, April did not want to lie anymore. She felt that it was very tiring to lie and she would have to pay an even greater price.
"Forced? Why was someone forced to have children? Mom, are you trying to lie to me again? Are you telling the truth about me? I really don't believe you anymore. " In Elizabeth heart, it was as if a knife had cut through her.
"No, I'm not lying, what I said was true. Elizabeth, do you know? If... "If you were a son, your life would not be like this. You would be born rich and powerful, but it's a pity that you won't be able to live up to your expectations, and your mother won't be able to do the same. I made the wrong bet!" When April said till this point, she covered her face and cried. She felt that she was too foolish at that time.
Elizabeth felt as if she had been struck in the head, her entire body was in a daze. After a long while, she found her voice: "What do you mean by that? Why would my life be different if I were a son? "What happened?"
April's face was as white as paper, as though she was unwilling to think back to those painful years. She bit her lips, not daring to speak.
"Can't you tell me what to do? Also, do you know who my biological father is? " Elizabeth heard a lot of information from her mother's words. She still felt that her mother still had something to say.
"Okay, let me tell you the truth. I once promised someone to help them give birth to a son, but unfortunately, when you were born, they found out that you were a daughter, so they didn't want us anymore. Besides, I suspect that they were the ones who were responsible for me being accused of using drugs and being sent to prison. I don't have any proof, but I feel that it has something to do with them." April no longer cared about anything anymore and directly spoke the truth.
