"I stood at your door, listening to your sounds. How I wished to rush in and stab him dead with a knife! But I couldn’t! Helen, I couldn’t do that! I had to endure!" Yoel clenched his fists fiercely. "But I've endured enough now! He's finally dead, and everything in his hands is mine now! He's going to give me back my son too!"
When Yoel said this, Helen felt sorry for him. When she left Zephyr, his contract had not yet ended, so he could only remain inside Zephyr. He had to carry out his last mission, which was an S-class mission, and he sacrificed himself to do it. Helen always thought he had died, so what use could she have for her own body? She had to live and take revenge, so she sought out John. But she did not expect that he was still alive, and within a few years, he even appeared in the Fowler Family and became its well-respected butler.
Thus, she also knew that he had not had an easy time over the years. After all, who wanted to watch the woman they loved so much get into another man's bed? It was not easy for them to hold back for so many years until today.
"Okay, let's not argue about it. Give me two days. I just need two days to make Chris understand all that we’ve done. He is our son, so if we don't have him on our side, we can't count on anyone else." Helen also compromised with matters, since she didn't wish for the two to quarrel after having endured separation for so many years.
Sighing, Yoel had no choice but to agree.
Moving closer to him, Helen embraced him and said, "Yoel, let's endure for a while longer. Let’s wait for another year or two, and when our positions are firm in the company, we will disclose our relationship, and then when I remarry, no one will say anything about it. We have to hold a grand wedding, okay?"
Their relationship had been underground for so many years, and for so long, Helen had dreamed of being able to marry her beloved man in a white dress.
Yoel held her hand, saying, "Helen, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lost my temper with you just now."
"It's okay, I understand you. I know it hasn't been easy for you all these years, but we've all survived through it, haven't we?"
Nodding, Yoel smiled and gently patted Helen's hand. After a while, the two left the place separately one after another, since their current relationship could not be exposed yet. After all, John's corpse was still around, so Helen could not do anything indiscreet yet; otherwise, everything would be a lost cause.
At this moment, Jude had been in the hospital guarding by Juniper’s side. The little girl was undergoing a routine medical treatment, and as the doctor had said, the effect of the medical treatment was much worse than the first time. Wyatt came to the ward and saw Jude dozing off, as she was too tired. As Juniper had to suffer while undergoing treatment, Jude felt sad for her and could not bear to leave her side at all.
Then, Wyatt came over with a blanket and draped it over her body. Feeling the movement, Jude woke up.
"Sorry for waking you up."
Jude rubbed her eyes. "There’s no need for any apology between us."
"Go back to sleep for a while. I'm free now, so I can watch Juniper for you."
"Nah, you're also tired from your work all day. Forget it."
"I'm fine. I'm used to it already, and there weren't many patients today." Wyatt sat down on Jude's side and gently stroked her long hair. "Go back and rest. If you get sick, there won’t be anyone to look after Juniper."
"Okay. Then I'll go back, take a bath, change my clothes, and come back straightaway."
"Get some more rest than that. It’s fine."
