"What?" After listening to Elizabeth's words, Evelyn sighed with emotion, "My god! How can there be such a hateful scum in this world? No wonder..." No wonder James asked her to accompany Elizabeth. But since she had promised James,
she bit back the words she would like to have said.
Yesterday, when she came out of Lu Enterprises, she called Elizabeth. She thought that it was getting late, so she just chatted with her on the phone for a while and asked her to go out the next day.
Elizabeth was in a bad mood indeed.
After Evelyn knew what had happened, although she didn't know those people, she was in disbelief.
"No wonder what?"
"Oh, nothing." Evelyn shook her head and said, "Why didn't I hear any news about this? It shouldn't be."
Elizabeth sighed, "The Bais must have blocked the passage of information. After all, this is a disgraceful thing."
"That's true." Evelyn nodded. Then she looked at Elizabeth, who looked unhappy, and asked, "So, are you in a bad mood because of this matter?"
"Yes. I have always been regretful. If I hadn't left at that time, things wouldn't be like this. Adele would go to the place where James had arranged for her. A few months later, she would have her own child, and then she would have a new job. Even if she couldn't be with Doctor Bai, she would meet another man who loved her since she was so lovely and attractive. She wouldn't die..." Elizabeth choked with sobs when she said this.
"Elizabeth..." Evelyn handed her a few tissues and said, "Don't cry."
In fact, at this time, she was really at a loss. She had known Elizabeth for a long time and she knew her very well. She could understand that Elizabeth was so guilty, but...
She finally understand why James asked her to accompany Elizabeth. It had been so long since Adele died, but Elizabeth was still in a bad mood. Although she could understand her, she couldn't let her be so sad forever.
"Elizabeth, I know that you are sad, but you know that there is something wrong with the phone call. This is not your fault. I know what I'm saying now may not be very pleasant to listen to, but Adele has died. Even though you're sad, she can't come back to life. You also said that your husband and others had been looking for her for so long, and they have given up. What's more, it's raining heavily now..."
She had been studying in A city for several years and knew this city well. The river next to A city was very long, and its lower reaches led to the sea. Since they hadn't found Adele's body for so long, her body must have been moved to the sea by the current.
"Elizabeth, you can't go on like this. Think about your husband. You're unhappy, so is he. Those are his sister and friend. Isn't he sadder than you? But life is still going on. Even Dr. Bai, who you have mentioned, can cheer up. If you still think like this, all the people around you will be unhappy as you, such as your husband and me."
Elizabeth nodded, "Evelyn, I know I should move on, but I can't do it for the time being. You don't know that..." She sniffed and said, "I felt so bad when I saw Doctor Bai's hopeless look and heard he say that he would only live for three years. He's such a good man. He used to be so cheerful, and so was Adele..."
"Since you know this, you can't split hairs like this. He said that he would still live for three years, and maybe there will be a new turning point. For example, maybe he will fall in love with someone else. Although this is a sad news for Adele, Doctor Bai is still young, isn't he?"
"You didn't see how crazy he was that day. A turning point? Unless Adele could come back."
"Hey! Why do you say this again?" Evelyn was somewhat helpless, but she couldn't criticize Elizabeth, "Maybe she will really come back one day, just like the plot in the novel."
