Sampson reached out his hand to caress her pale face, softly and gently, “Your surgery must be anesthetized, the child can’t be kept——”
Her body trembled slightly, “What if I don’t take the anesthesia?”
“You won’t stand it!” Sampson almost jumped, reprimanding her.
Surgery without anesthesia was painful enough to kill!
“Lola listen.” Sampson tried to persuade, “It’s just three months, in the future——”
“Isn’t three months still life?” Loredana’s attitude was firm, “I’m not giving up.”
Six years later in A country…
The warm, yellow light illuminated the interior of the house.
A thin and slender shadow figure was busy in the kitchen, preparing dinner for the family.
Sampson Herbert sat on the sofa in the living room, staring at Loredana Flores, who was busy in the kitchen. Simona Flores crawled towards Sampson, “Uncle, do you like my mommy?”
Sampson jumped. Every time he heard that name, he would become very frantic. Loredana refused to accept his feelings toward her, only treating him as a brother.
These two kids both called him uncle.
But they were adorable.
With a pair of big round eyes, tender and white skin, just like spring; curly eyelashes, blinking like porcelain dolls.
Sampson picked up one of them and walked towards the kitchen.
He stood in front of the kitchen, “Lola.”
Loredana glanced back and smiled, “Are you guys hungry? Dinner’s ready soon.”
Sampson did not reply, only staring at his back emptily.
Six years ago, Loredana insisted on not getting anesthesia, keeping the baby. Sampson could only agree.
But, he had one condition, which was to leave the country and returning to A country.
Loredana agreed, and with the help of Sampson, they brought Maxina Lennon with them.
Six years passed.
“I’m going back to the country in a couple of days.”
Loredana paused slightly, stirring the soup; the pain she felt six years ago was still haunting her.
She pretended nothing was wrong, didn’t turn back, “What’s happening?”
“So, my sister’s engaged,” still staring at Loredana’s back.
She turned around; after giving birth to Samuel and Simona, Sampson told her he found his long lost sister.
Loredana had been happy for him.
“That’s good, you should go back.” Loredana said.
Still gazing deeply at her, “She’s engaged to Cormac Mendelsohn.”
Bang!
The spoon on her hand slipped and fell down to the ground, breaking into countless pieces.
She hurriedly squatted down to pick them up, “He has nothing to do with me anymore.”
Six years had been too long, she had even forgotten that man had existed in her life.
Now, she just wanted to take care of her two kids.
It was just that she was confused, wasn’t Cormac marrying Helen White six years ago?
How could it be Sampson’s sister now?
She looked at him as if a soundless inquiry.
Sampson looked back at her and pursed his lips, “Sorry, I didn’t tell you.”
Loredana frowned, “What are you hiding from me?”
As soon as she said that, she thought of something, then widen her eyes and said her guess, “Helen is your sister?”
“Yeah.” That year he helped Loredana to investigate that incident that night and learned about what happened that night from a hotel attendant there. He dug in deeper and found out that the role Helen played.
He never liked a dishonest person, just like Helen. It was just that coincidentally, Helen was also at A
country, so they had ran into each other.
They had no interactions, but it was because she wore a suspender skirt, showing a green birthmark on her shoulder, which caught his attention.
His lost sister also had the same green birthmark on her shoulder.
To find out, he did an in-depth investigation of Helen. He found out that Helen grew up in an orphanage without her parents. At first, he was just curious about Helen, having the same birthmark as his lost sister. Naturally, he wanted to know more about her.
But when he found out she was an orphan, Sampson gave birth to a thought: she could be his long lost sister, so he started stalking her, collecting her hair sample and saliva to do a DNA test.
The result showed that she really was his sister.
He knew his sister’s secret, also knew that she liked Cormac Mendelsohn.
He had been keeping this to himself, never telling Loredana, not even once.
Sampson put down Simona to play in the living room.
Simona nodded and ran towards the living room with her short legs, “I’ll wait for brother to come back, I want to play with brother.”
“Hey, slow down. You’ll fall.” Sampson tugged her, “Slowly.”
Simona pouted, she was unhappy.
He let go of Simona and pinched her little nose, “Be good.” He went into the kitchen, squatting beside
Loredana, holding her hand, “Let me take care of you, okay?”
“I got two kids——”
“I don’t care…”
“I care.” Loredana looked at him. She didn’t want to rely on anyone to take care of her children.
He knew that Sampson’s family would not accept her.
Plus, she promised Mrs. Herbert that she would never be with him.
She smiled and let go of his hand, “Go to the living room, dinner’s almost ready.”
Sampson’s heart sunk. He might have seen her as his sister before, but these six years had long made him fall in love with this brave and stubborn woman.
He didn’t understand why she rejected him that harshly, leaving no chances for him.
“You like someone else, don’t you?” He guessed, “That man is Cormac, isn’t he?”
Cormac was the only man that appeared around her anyway.
“No!” She answered swiftly as if proving she was telling the truth, “If it wasn’t for you, I would’ve forgotten that person long ago.”
“Then…”
“Mommy.” Simona ran in and hugged Loredana’s neck, “Mommy, when are brother and grandma coming back?”
Simona came in and interrupted the conversation.
Loredana didn’t want to talk about the topic anyway.
She took a quick glance at the clock and picked up Simona with her arms, “School ends at 6:30, it’s 6:20 now, they’ll be back soon.”
Loredana put her down, “Come, be good. The kitchen is dangerous.” She held out her hands for Simona to see, “Look at mommy’s hand, are they dirty?”
