Chapter 007 Other Intentions Theresa didn’t struggle to free her throat. She continued infuriating him,
“My words didn’t make you what you are. You made yourself! You wanna choke me? Fine! But that will
not make you something better. And I will haunt you after I become a ghost!” . Theresa looked at
Jimmy, and her eyes unwittingly became moist. No one knew how she got through all these years. If it
wasn’t for her boys, for Cristina… she must have
died.
Jimmy stared at her bloodshot eyes and was stunned. He then let go of her and wiped his hands with
his handkerchief as if he thought she was dirty. He looked aloof. In his eyes, he was superior to
Theresa. He warned, “As long as you don’t mention
our past in the Calsis, we will stay cool. But if you let out a word, you will go to hell with me!” After
saying, Jimmy jumped into his car and drove away. in the darkness of the night, Theresa felt a breeze.
But the breeze brought her chill.
It was summer.
She became more and more susceptible to coldness after giving birth to her boys. She rubbed her
hands and walked into the apartment building. She took out her phone and checked. The latest
message was sent by her stepmother Leah Cameron. (Theresa, your father fell ill and is now in
hospital. Pay him a visit someday.” After she divorced Jimmy and gave birth to her boys, she hadn’t
gone home once. Father didn’t want to see her or taik to her. However, when she heard that father was
ill, she was still worried. Theresa’s mother passed away when she was little and it was father who
painstakingly raised her up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen she saw the message, she hurried texted to see father’s condition. (How is he?]
[He’s in Victoria Hospital. Pay him a visit when you’re free.) Leah was Sarah’s mother. Leah married
Johnson after Theresa’s biological mother passed away. She was with Sarah when she married
Johnson. And Theresa didn’t call Leah mom but by her name. Theresa replied, (Okay. I’ll be there
tomorrow.) She wondered whether father was willing to see her. Father thought that Ben and Leonard
were bastards. He felt ashamed for Theresa and refused to
forgive her.
As Theresa opened the door, she saw her boys both standing at the entrance. One brought her
slippers
and another brought a cup of water. They were both attentive. Theresa looked at the little fellows and
said, “Alright, mom got this.” “No.” Cried Leonard, “Mom is tired for working. Leonard could be of some
help.” Ben brought water to Theresa. Before handing the water to mother, he even took a sip. “It’s not
hot at all.”
Cristina was lying on the sofa playing a mobile game. Seeing the scene, she said enviously, “Your sons
are so nice to you. Sweet little boys. I wonder how happy you will be when they are big boys.” Theresa
also felt much better at the sight of her boys.
Though she had been through lots of unpleasant things, God seemed to be making it up for her
through her boys.
However, when she looked at the two little fellows, Charlie’s face somehow occurred to her.
Theresa left early the next morning. Before going to the Calsis’s Residence, she went to the hospital.
Before she entered Johnson’s ward, she heard an emotionless and serious male voice coming from
inside. “Due date has passed. Where is Sarah Cameron?”
Leah said tremblingly, “Mr. Gay, I don’t know where Sarah is either. My husband is sick again now.
Could you please give us a couple of days’ grace?” Jonathan looked at the woman indifferently. He felt
that she was buying time and that she didn’t plan to tell him where her daughter was. “How much time
do you want to buy from me? I only need Sarah Cameron’s address. You hid her well. If you don’t tell
me where she is, bankruptcy awaits you, Cameron!”
Leah pleaded, “You just want a wife for Master Calsis, right? Actually…we have another daughter. She
is very good-looking and well-educated. She’ll come over soon. You can take a look. If you’re satisfied,
let her marry Master Calsis in place of Sarah. What say you?” Leah wouldn’t marry her daughter to a
cripple.
Theresa stood by the door and heard Leah’s words. She frowned.
She came to visit father. But it seemed that Leah had other intentions. To let me take Sarah’s place?
Theresa had a little memory about Sarah’s fiancé.
The two families’ grandfathers agreed on a marriage between the grandchildren of the two families.
Later, when Theresa married Jimmy, the child to be married became Sarah. When Theresa divorced
Jimmy, Sarah boasted in full complacency in front of Theresa that she was going to become the
madam of a wealthy family. But something seemed to have happened to the bridegroom and Sarah ran
away. And my stepmother wants me to take Sarah’s place? What am I in her eyes?
Theresa now knew why Leah informed her of father’s illness.
Hearing Leah’s words, Jonathan sneered, “Mr. Careron, isn’t your other daughter divorced? You want a
divorced woman to marry our Master Calsis? Our Master Calsis wouldn’t marry a divorced woman
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmeven if he is now having some difficulty with his legs.” He insisted on finding Sarah because he thought
Sarah dishonest, and he was mad… Jonathan said, “Since you can’t find your daughter, then you will
find yourselves bankrupt.” After saying, Jonathan walked out of the ward. Two men in black was
following him, which made the
scene a bit frightening. Leah followed behind Jonathan with an attempt to stop him. “Mr. Jonathan. We
could talk…”. As they got out, Jonathan ran into Theresa who was standing by the door. He was
surprised. “Dr. Cameron.” As if Theresa was a savior, Leah said to Theresa, “Theresa, you’re finally
here!” Theresa looked at her stepmother and sneered, “Since when did Mrs. Cameron become so
eager to see
me?” Seeing that Theresa was being ironic, Theresa was blue in the face. Jonathan looked at Theresa
surprisingly. “Are you Mr. Cameron’s daughter?” Theresa didn’t deny it, “Yes, I am the divorced woman
you were talking about.” She didn’t think her divorce had anything to do with others and she disliked it
to be talked behind her back
Hearing Theresa’s words, Jonathan was embarrassed. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know it was you.” How could
he possibly know that Theresa should be Johnson’s daughter! “It’s okay, we don’t know each other very
well anyway.” Theresa walked into the ward after she was done speaking Leah’s voice came from
behind Theresa, “Theresa, don’t talk to Mr. Gay like that! That’s too rude.” Theresa ignored them and
went directly towards her father. Leah feared that Theresa’s words might infuriate Jonathan, and she
flattered, “Mr. Gay, please take no offense. It’s not her normal self. My Theresa had been a good girl
since her childhood. She is much better than Sarah.” Just as Theresa sat down beside Johnson, she
heard Leah’s words, which was somewhat ridiculous to her. In order to make Jonathan agree to let
Theresa marry Charlie, Leah even began putting in good word for her. Pigs can fly now! Jonathan cast
a glance at Leah and said, “Don’t even think about it.”
