Shane touched his chin and said uncertainly, "He called you Margaret. It should be what he wanted to name you before this."
"That's right. I thought that name when your mother was still pregnant with you. If it's a daughter, it'll be Margaret. If it's a boy, it'll be Lucius. But who knows, people can change in just a few months," Dominic laughed at himself.
At this moment, he finally knew what kind of person h e was when he was young.
He used to refuse to admit that he was nasty, but now that he was dying, he had to admit that he was indeed not a good man.
And what made him sad and ridiculed the most was that he wasn't thinking about the other woman, but Laura when his life was coming to an end.
That woman had long been blurred in his memory, but Laura was still so clear.
It turned out that the reason why he still remembered Laura so clearly wasn't because of anything else - he still loved her all the time, but he didn't want to admit i t in the past because he made a mistake. So, he subconsciously kept Laura in the bottom of his heart and didn’t think about her. Only in this way would he feel that he had done nothing wrong.
Thinking about it now, he had just been deceiving himself. He had never forgotten her. She had always been at the bottom of his heart, so he took care of all her belongings for all those years.
Yvonne was impatient and roared, "That's enough. I don’t want to hear these things. Don’t tell me about your confession. If you want to confess, go down and tell my mother in person. I'm just her daughter, so what's the use in telling me? I have no right and I won't forgive you for her!"
What she hated the most now were people coming back to repent after doing something wrong.
What was the point?
Since you'll regret it later, why did you do it in the first place? 2
Therefore, she would never sympathize with such a person.
Hearing the disgust in Yvonne's tone, Dominic's heart throbbed for a while and he mumbled about something.
After a while, he suddenly pulled something from his neck and handed it to her. "This is the key to my safe box."
Yvonne looked at the small key, which had been rusty for a long time. Her eyes were very puzzled. "Safe box?"
"There’s a secret compartment under the floor of my study room. A safe box is there. All the things your mother left are in it. I've kept them all this time and I've never told anyone. Jacqueline and the rest don’t know about this. I'm giving it all to you now." After Dominic spoke, he put down the key and closed his eyes.
Yvonne looked at him as if he was very tired. Her lips moved and she wanted to ask a lot of questions, but she couldn't.
She wanted to ask why he kept her mother’s belongings since he betrayed her biological mother and watched her die.
Not only did he keep her belongings, but he also put them in such a hidden safe and kept them close to him.
Looking at the scratches on the key, she knew that the key had never left him. Obviously, it was very important to him.
Was it true when he said that the person he had always loved was her biological mother?
Shane saw Yvonne in a daze and gently reminded her, "Yvonne, let's head out."
Yvonne bit her lower lip, took the key, then turned around to walk to the door.
Outside the ward, she looked at the key in her palm with complicated eyes. "What do you think is in the safe?"
Shane said, "I don’t know. But I’m really surprised by the meaning behind this key. I thought it was a decoration. When I checked on Dominic yesterday and wanted to take it off, he stopped me. He looked very nervous about this key at that time."
Yvonne put the key away. “This key should be around his neck all the time."
Shane nodded. "Seems like it. This key is rusty and slightly deformed. It’s clear that it has never been removed. In fact, I've always had some impressions of this key."
Yvonne looked at him. "Huh?"
Shane said with a smile, "That was ten years ago. Well, it was the year before you married Henry and there was a banquet that year. I saw Dominic with this key o n his neck, but I thought it was just an accessory so I didn’t pay too much attention to it. Now I know the importance of this key."
Yvonne took a deep breath and said, "Let’s go. No matter what, I have to see if there really is a safe in his study room."
Shane shrugged his shoulders regretfully. "I can't go with you. I have to go to the laboratory to continue with the vaccine research."
Yvonne asked, "Is there any progress?"
