Words I Was Afraid To Hear

A pair of hazel eyes appeared before her .

"Victor? You . . . " She looked at him from head to toe .

The man is in a wheelchair but he was smiling . There is also evidence that he could use his arms and hands well .

Su Linyu bolted into his embrace and leaned in, as if she had lost all strength .

"Victor . . . " she broke into tears in his embrace . "Verdan . . . he . . . I . . . "

"I know . . . " he consoled her by gently rubbing her back .

"B-but . . . then he . . . and now he . . . " she wailed .

"I know . . . we will get him back . I will help you . " Victor Zhou had a subtle smile on his face . His hazel eyes showed sincerity .

Even though she had been mean to him, especially that time when he needed family support, he still considers her as his wife .

As they were married for financial reasons, Victor Zhou had always considered his wife as a friend whom he needed to provide for . Except when they needed to have children there were never any romance between them .

However, he made sure that at least on the surface, his children would perceive their marriage as something that works . As time went by and the children grew up to be adults, he knew they understand what their real relationship is like .

"Linyu . . . we have to take him back . Not just for us . . . most importantly, for his own family . "

"You actually believe that old monster?! My son would never marry his daughter!"

"No . Verdan did not marry the daughter of Chairman Song . . . " he paused . He took a deep breath and looked at his wife in the eyes . "He married Xiu Jin"s daughter . "

"What?! No! It can"t be! No . . . he can"t!"

"Would you rather prefer him dead?" Victor Zhou was half asking and half joking .

Su Linyu glared at him .

He chuckled at her glaring face streaked with tears .

"Let"s talk about his family later on . Right now, we need to take him back first . "

"Agatha . . . " the fair hand of Samantha Yang reached out to pat the hand of the daughter she raised as they sat facing each other in a café .

Agatha Yang finally agreed to meet the only mother she knew . The meeting was requested several times . She finally succ.u.mbed when she was informed that her brother is back in the hospital .

"I"m back at the Xiu"s now . Can"t you leave me alone?"

"Agatha, I"m your mother! How could you talk to me like that?!"

"As far as I know, you only have a son . " The indifferent expression on Agatha"s face hid her dimples . Her hazel eyes looked lifeless . She slid off her hand from her mother"s . She held the teacup with both hands, as if creating an excuse for her action .

Samantha Yang refocused her objective and shifted her expression . "I was hoping you would at least be grateful of your parents who raised you . You might not be our biological daughter, but we treated you as our own . We even married you off into a rich family . "

Agatha"s face turned into an irritated expression . "What do you want?"

"Your brother is in the hospital again . "

"I know . I can"t pay for his bills again . I only have enough for my everyday needs . I seldom go out . I tend to eat at home . "

"You unfilial child!"

The sound of the wooden chair legs harshly rubbing against the floor, along with the sudden movement of standing, startled the older lady .

"It"s enough that you almost got me and my husband killed . Don"t bother me again!" Her heels clicked against the tiled floor of the restaurant .

The older lady frowned too much that her face contorted to something ugly . She glared at the retreating figure as she dialled her phone .
