Billionaire's Unforgettable Ex-Wife-Chapter 144 - 122 Gathering in Switzerland 1_2
Chapter 144: Chapter 122 Gathering in Switzerland 1_2
"We’ll all help you, plus there are caregivers; they’re more professional at nursing than us."
"But the caregivers can’t give Little Ai the family affection she wants." Faye Townsend smiled softly and ate her steak.
"Oliver, you’re busy with work too; there’s really no need for you to make this special trip."
"Alright, there’s no need to discuss this further. You don’t know how happy Miya was to see me.
If you knew, you wouldn’t say that."
Faye felt a bit guilty: "I just feel like it’s too much trouble for you."
"That’s because you haven’t thought of me as one of your own. If you truly considered me your closest person, you wouldn’t think this way."
Faye recalled the moment at Hunter Warren’s doorstep, when they nearly kissed, and felt a bit awkward.
Since that day, Oliver Turner hadn’t called her or tried to reach her.
She thought Oliver was angry and decided to ignore her.
"Faye, about that day at your house... I think I owe you an apology."
Faye looked up at him: "Why do you need to apologize? You didn’t do anything wrong.
I’m the one who should apologize. You were already in a bad mood that day, and I provoked you."
Oliver folded his arms with a smile: "I’ll accept your apology; I was indeed a little upset by you that day.
But I was in a bad mood, otherwise I wouldn’t have reacted so angrily.
Sometimes, a person’s emotions can easily affect their mood for the entire day."
Faye smiled gently: "Have you been in touch with Clara these days?"
"That silly girl, perhaps I’ve spoiled her into being ungrateful; she hasn’t been to work for many days now.
It’s just a spat with me, is it necessary?
You two are of the same age, but in this matter, I admire you more.
Arguing is one thing, work is another, you always have to keep things clear."
"Don’t you think I’m a bit cold-blooded and lacking in compassion?
Sometimes, I’d rather be a little willful like Clara.
Unfortunately, my parents are gone, and no one is there to tolerate my whims anymore.
Actually, it’s not that women want to be strong, but they have no choice but to be strong."
"You can really speak up for her."
"I’m just stating the facts, and to be honest, I feel you’re being a bit unfair to Clara in this matter.
It was Clara’s biological mother who passed away, she has every right to hate Ms. Fisher.
No matter the grievance, it’s wrong to be responsible for someone else’s death.
Clara just hopes you’ll be fair to her. You can support Ms. Fisher, but at least... don’t force her to have the same perspective as you.
Besides being the ’child’ you raised, she loves you.
Seeing you treat Ms. Fisher well, it’s more strange if she could accept it."
"Faye, there are some things where everyone has their own reasoning.
I know Clara doesn’t want to see Luna Fisher, so I never mentioned it to her from the start.
I even stayed at a hotel for many days to make her feel a bit better.
I thought out of sight, out of mind, if she didn’t see me she wouldn’t be angry.
Yet she still found me at the hotel to question me.
It was fine if she questioned me, but she actually demanded I sever ties with Luna Fisher.
Even if I hadn’t been involved with Luna Fisher back then, she’s still my friend.
Yes, she committed a crime, but she’s still someone I know.
The incident happened at my house back then. Baoyi lost her life, and Luna lost her freedom.
Both are inseparably linked to me. I don’t intend to pursue things with Luna; I just want to help her adjust to society after losing twenty years of freedom.
Baoyi is gone, even if Luna were to pay for her life, Baoyi wouldn’t come back.
So why should we press her completely?"
Faye nodded, admitting that Oliver’s words made sense.
From Oliver’s perspective, he could very well think this way.
Indeed, everyone has their own viewpoint, and he and Clara are now on different sides.
But Clara is upset probably because of this damned stance they have.
She surely wishes Uncle Oliver, whom she loves, could stand with her against the person who killed her mother.
Perhaps she truly can’t make Luna pay with her life, but if Oliver could just ignore Luna with her, she might feel better.
Some things are truly unable to be concluded by outsiders.
After hearing Clara’s feelings, Faye thought Clara made sense.
But after listening to Oliver, she felt he also had his own reasoning.
"Actually I’m really curious, back then, why did Luna Fisher, so young and with a promising future, kill Clara’s mother?
Was there such a deep-seated hatred between them to make her go insane like that?"
Oliver stayed silent for a moment and then shook his head: "Let’s not bring up the past.
It’s been over twenty years; I’ve already forgotten what should be forgotten."
Hearing Oliver say this, Faye knew he hadn’t forgotten anything; he just chose to let it go.
Since that’s the case, why dig into someone else’s wounds?
She pursed her lips: "Tonight’s steak tastes good. Earlier I didn’t have much of an appetite, yet now I feel it would be a disservice to Lucia’s culinary skills not to eat.
You should eat some too. Lucia will be going to the hospital later, if you don’t eat now, there won’t be dinner."
"No worries, I’m truly not hungry. I’ll go to the hospital with Lucia later; you can rest well at home."
"With you guys around, I truly feel at ease, so I’ll thank you in advance."
"Do you say thank you to Kay Forrest as well?" Oliver looked at her, quite serious.
Faye pursed her lips, of course not, she and Forrest don’t need such pointless things.
Seeing her expression, Oliver knew she wouldn’t say thank you to Kay Forrest.
"So, from now on, there’s no need to say thank you between you and me either. I don’t like you treating me as an outsider."
Faye shrugged with a slight smile: "Then I’ll change."
After Oliver and Lucia left, Faye returned to her room and called Kay Forrest to ask about Clara.
Knowing Clara was doing fine, she felt at ease.
"Didn’t Oliver Turner tell you not to come?"
"I was just about to tell you, you take care of Miya tonight, my head feels a bit foggy, I’m worried I won’t be able to take good care of her if I go."
"What’s wrong, are you okay?"
"I probably slept too much, I’m fine, don’t worry."
"You’re such a worrywart, just take care of yourself. If you don’t feel well, come to the hospital and get checked.
Don’t expect me to take care of you, my precious daughter is way more important than you now."
