Chapter 150: How to Stop Carole
Fred woke up, learned that Elena woke up, flew to the ward, at this time Elena was eating porridge, saw Fred’s handsome sunken face, tears seized her eyes.
“Dear–” Elena looked at Fred and instantly understood that some men may not like to put love on their lips, but they will use their actions to prove his love for you, no different, Fred is such a man.
All along, she always thought that Fred did not love her enough, or even did not love her, just because they met too dramatically. But she didn’t think about it, even though it was such a drama, she fell in love with him. By the same token, he did not need any reason to fall in love with her himself. It was she herself who couldn’t let go, especially after knowing what happened to Anna, there was always a shadow in her heart.
“Honey, you’re finally awake.” Fred walked to the bed and took the sitting up Elena into his arms tightly, even with this hug, his hands were still trembling, very afraid that it was just his own illusion, until he felt Elena’s body temperature, his panic-stricken heart, only to return to its original position.
“I’m sorry for making you worry.” After resting, Elena’s voice has been much better, although it hurts a little to be held by Fred like this, but she doesn’t care, then even if she just keeps holding, she is willing, these days of slumber, although she is lying here, but she is also struggling with the darkness. These days, she felt as if she was locked in a small dark room to come, as long as she was slightly distracted, she might be swallowed by the darkness, fortunately, fortunately Fred came and saved her from the darkness.
“Promise me that you won’t do this kind of stupid thing again, okay? No matter where you go, you have to talk to me first.” Fred’s voice trembled.
Elena felt a little wet on her neck, it was Fred’s tears, burning her heart, Elena was sleeping this month, Fred, no matter how grief and anger, just roar, but never drop tears, but at this time, he cried out like a child.
“Dad, you do not cry, in the future, my brother and I will be good and obedient, we never again will be naughty, woo woo ……” looking at the mother and father that are crying, the children also followed and cried.
“Elena, Fred, you guys are ……” the two dads came back and all they saw was the family of four hugging and crying together.
“Come on, little baby, don’t cry, come to grandpa.” The mayor naturally went to hug the two children, and the word grandpa came out of his mouth.
Only Elena and Fred did not hear into the ears, but rather the two children.
“Grandpa, our grandpa is there, you are not grandpa.” Jack corrected seriously and tried to break away from the mayor’s hand.
“Good boy, that’s grandpa too.” Gary hurriedly said to the two children.
Paul, who had returned from buying porridge, heard the two old men about to get up and hurriedly shut the door vigilantly.
“Fred, we all, are grown men, what would it look like, if the reporter photographed you, The Cloud Group’s president with this look, will be industry colleagues make fun of you.” Gary said with a straight face.
“Dad, this is ……” Elena was embarrassed to push Fred away, and even more embarrassed to see strangers in the room besides her dad.
“Elena, this is Mayor Warren, but …… Mayor, please give Elena a moment, okay?” Fred, who knew the truth, stopped it.
“Fred, this matter, sooner or later is to say, and besides, Elena hospitalized these days, the mayor has been very worried.” Gary sternly corrected Fred.
“Fred, what is it exactly?” Elena was confused, she only remembered the day she crashed her car, and then she didn’t remember anything. And she remembered that her dad didn’t know anyone in politics very well, why would the mayor be here when she was sick?
“Elena, did your mother tell you who your father is?” Gary asked without waiting for Fred to speak, that is, he grabbed the question.
Elena shook her head, she wanted to ask, but her mother didn’t give her the chance, and her words made it impossible for her to ask, if even her mother herself didn’t know who the man who got her pregnant was, how could she possibly know.
“Dad, hasn’t one Carole done enough damage?” Fred was a little annoyed.
The trouble one Carole brought is still unresolved till now, and now she wants to come to recognize her father, even if he can bear it, what about Elena?
Even if the mayor is not worried, but he is afraid, he is afraid of Carole’s repeated pestering, afraid that Carole will hurt Elena again.
“It’s not the same, Fred, it’s better to leave this matter to Elena to decide for herself.” Gary looked choked, Carole’s matter, he also did not expect it, did not expect that more than twenty years, can make one person become another.
“Dad, what’s going on?” Elena’s brain hadn’t returned to normal functioning at this point, especially when it came to Carole again, and had no idea what Dad and Fred were playing at.
“It’s better for me to say it, actually I should call you sister, you should be my dad’s daughter, which is this one.” Paul stepped forward, explaining to Elena as he pushed the mayor to the hospital bed.
“Brother? Dad? Are you sure?” Elena looked to the mayor and then turned to Fred.
“Of course, we’ve done a DNA test, 99. 7% similarity, sis, actually Dad didn’t mean anything else, it’s just …… ugh, Dad or you can say it yourself.” Paul rubbed his head and turned to his dad.
Since he wants to admit it himself, it’s up to him to say it, anyway, this matter is nothing more for their family, mom already knows and doesn’t blame dad, that’s all.
“Back then, although it was just an accident, but you are my daughter after all, over the years, I owe you too much as a father, so I hope to make up for it.” The mayor looked at Elena, full of apologies and full of longing.
“Dad? Is that possible?” Elena looked at the mayor, a little in disbelief that someone of her mother’s character could meet such a good man. Suddenly God gave her a mayor dad, is it possible?
“Mayor, aren’t you worried about getting stuck with Carole?” Fred was distressed to see Elena frowning and turned to question the mayor.
“Of course I’m afraid, but dad has guilt towards my sister, but what happened back then was just an accident, and it was before dad’s marriage, even if she really looks for trouble, she can’t find any trouble, not to mention that my sister has already started a family, she can’t ask my dad for any more alimony, right?” Paul has been investigating Carole’s affairs, and he is worried about it, but his dad says he is not worried, so he has to put his heart down for now.
“If I recognize you, she’ll definitely come to me, you’re the mayor, in case ……”
“Everyone is responsible for what they do, back then, although I was drunk and immoral, but you are innocent, all these years although Gary brother will raise you, but I hope you can let me as a father give compensation in my lifetime, just to give me peace of mind, can you?” The mayor looked at Elena lovingly.
“But I have a greedy mother.” Elena leaned into Fred’s arms, thinking about what Carole had done, and couldn’t help but feel a little scared. For her now, it didn’t matter if she had one more dad, or one less, she just couldn’t harm him.
If her dad was a normal person at this point, she would not hesitate to believe it, but he is the mayor, what if he gets stuck with mom again?
“But you’re my dad’s daughter, too.” Paul took up Elena’s words.
“But that would hurt you.” Elena looked at them so that the mayor turned to Gary again, and for her, she was already happy to have a father like Gary Costa, but the mayor was her real father, and now that she knew, she couldn’t disown him.
“Before that, and even to this day, she and I are not considered to know each other, she can not influence me.” The mayor repeatedly made it clear.
“Elena, you already have a family of your own, just don’t say anything, Carole, she won’t know.” Gary saw that Elena was still hesitating and thought for a moment.
“It’s not that easy, Carole is more shameless than you all think, the best way is not to say anything, Elena and the mayor identify, there is no impact to us, but the mayor is not afraid that his career will be ruined?” Fred saw Elena’s dilemma and reminded the mayor once again.
“Daddy, is this grandfather Mommy’s father?” Jack looked at the mayor, unable to connect him with the old hag, but he had heard some understanding from the adults’ conversation.
“Brother-in-law, do you think this will work, to the outside world, we will say that sister is the daughter that daddy recognized, if anyone asks, just say this car accident ……” Paul said, also feel as if it is not good, recently the Internet godfather prevalent, there is no guarantee that someone will be nonsense,. Then shook his head and said, “or not, or …… forget it, or you guys think about it.”
“Auntie that won’t have anything?” Elena looked at Paul, remembered the mayor’s wife, and said again.
“You don’t have to worry about that, my dad has already explained to mom – how about, let my mom step in?” Paul said again.
“Honey, have you really decided?” Fred looked at Elena, she had just woken up and it was a bit hard for her to face so many problems.
“I’m just worried about mom, she …… Fred, is the case closed?” Elena held Fred’s hand and trembled a little.
“The case is closed, in fact, I have come up with a solution, fifty million dollars I can not give them, but if converted into RMB to is not impossible, as long as they leave China.” For the sake of his wife, Fred decided to take a step back.
Fifty million dollars, for the average person, could not be spent in a lifetime, and even if they went to America, mother and daughter could still live well without that home, depending on whether they were content.
“If they are willing to go back to America, it is best, brother-in-law, if they are willing to go back to America, I am willing to give one million.” Paul also stepped forward and said.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Fifty million is nothing for Fred, but one million is rare for a company like Paul’s that is just starting out.
“No need, this matter, I’ll handle it, Honey, you eat something first.” Fred held Elena up and gestured for Paul to bring the porridge over, which he would feed himself.
“Fred, it’s better for me to go talk to her, she wasn’t like this before, I’m sure she’s not as bad as you think.” Gary volunteered.
