Sabrina called out calmly. "Holden..." "Sabrina..."
He did not know what he should say. He had wanted t o take her to the island and give her the most peaceful life. He wanted to accompany her to plant some flowers and grass every day and live a simple and idyllic life with her, but he never expected that things would turn out like that.
"Sabrina, just kill me!" said Holden miserably.
Sabrina shook her head and her voice was incomparably hoarse. "Holden, did you know? Your brother, who is my husband, had already drawn up the plan to divide the Ford Group in two and one of the two halves was yours."
Holden was speechless.
"Also, that large ship that stopped outside this island o f yours was not filled with weapons that your brother wanted to use against you at all. It was filled with supplies on them. Supplies, do you know that?"
Holden was speechless. He knew. How could he not know? When he had just gotten onboard, Malvolio had already told him.
"You can blame it on your fate that it had been unfair t o you, but you had never been a mother, so you will never know how heartbroken a mother can get when she is at her weakest and most helpless. A woman without a husband had given birth to two children on the delivery bed, and she still had to hide from being hunted by the wife of her children's father. Tell me, if you were in her shoes, what should you do? Perhaps you would say that you wouldn't throw your child to others even if you had to die. However, you are not a mother. Holden Payne! You are not a mother! You will never be able to understand what a mother feels. She had given birth to her children after being a hair's breadth away from death. This child had not even been into society yet, should she have taken everything away from him like that? Even if she was his mother, she had no right to do so! You weigh lighter than your brother back then. Your mother pitied you. She wanted to let you live so she had no choice but to give you to the Payne family. That was because under the circumstances back then, your life would be in more danger if you were to follow your mother. It was because your mother pitied the weak, s o she had given the chance to live to the smaller one. Was she wrong?"
Holden was speechless. He did not say anything at all. He did not know what he should say. Did he feel regretful? Did he feel sorry for his mother? Did he feel sorry for his elder twin brother? It did not seem so. He had not met his mother before. He did not even have a single photo of her, so he did not have the slightest bit of impression of her.Therefore, he did not feel sorry for her. He smiled miserably and then he raised his head to look at the sky.
"Holden, when you're able to live, just live your life well. That's all I can say to you," Sabrina said to Holden calmly. This was the only encouragement she could have given him.
She hoped that he could understand. She hoped that h e could reserve his energy and stop going against Malvolio. As long as he could keep his life, anything could have a fresh start. Did Holden understand that? Sabrina did not know. She turned around and walked out. She was truly hungry, and wanted to have some food. Otherwise, the baby in her belly would not be able to stand it.
"Sabrina!" Holden called out from behind her. Sabrina turned her head around to look at Holden.
"You...have to stay alive. Don't kill yourself, alright?" said Holden.
Sabrina could not answer him. At a crucial moment, she could only kill herself to protect her mother, husband, and child in South City. She left without looking back.
Just as she arrived at the door, she suddenly heard Isadora let out a sharp cry behind her "Oh!"
