It was a long time before he asked in a hoarse voice, "You're not lying to me, are you?"
"You're dying, do I need to lie to you?" Violet laughed lightly.
Eason covered his eyes, "When did you know that?"
"A long time ago, but only recently it was confirmed. Sometime before I married Stanley, I met Nate and Talia at the TV station and heard them talking about Phoebe, saying that Phoebe was their daughter, only at that time I didn't believe it, until some time ago, I saw Phoebe's blood type, then I gave Phoebe and Nate a paternity test."
Violet didn't say any further because there was no need for them.
Eason suddenly laughed out, his laughter filled with self-deprecation and sadness, "Ridiculous, ridiculous, I never thought that in my life, there would be times when I mistakenly love a feral child as my own for more than twenty years."
In fact, at first, he didn't like Phoebe that much, after all, Phoebe was an illegitimate daughter, and he had always been macho, so naturally, he didn't like her.
But Phoebe was sweet-talking and coaxed him, unlike Violet and Steven. Violet had been raised as a lady by Lily since she was a child, and would not surround him like Phoebe, let alone pamper him as a father, while Steven was sick and hospitalized because of her poor health since childhood, so he was even more reluctant to contact.
So over time, he naturally favored Phoebe even more, because he naturally preferred Phoebe who was devoted to him while Violet and Steven who were devoted to Lily.
But to his surprise, the daughter he had favored for over twenty years was not his kid.
He had raised a feral child for someone else for over twenty years, and for that feral child, he had actually thrown his own two children out of the house.
Oh, could there be anything more ridiculous and ironic than that?
"I'm an idiot, I'm such an idiot!" Eason pounded his chest and spat on himself.
Violet however laughed, "You are indeed idiot, you think you've cuckolded my mother for over twenty years, unaware that others have cuckolded you for over twenty years as well. At the time you kicked us out of the house for Talia and Phoebe, maybe Talia and Nate were laughing behind your back at you, so you are an idiot."
Eason didn't answer.
What else could he say?
She was right that he was an idiot. He kicked his biological kids out of the house and completely cooled their heart.
"By the way, there's one more thing." Seeing that he hadn't completely died of anger, Violet decided to say it all, he could accept it anyway.
"Actually, you could have lived for another ten or twenty years." Violet looked at Eason.
Eason realized what was going on and his body shook violently, "You ...... I ......"
Seeming to know what he wanted to say, Violet hooked her lips, "Talia no longer wanted to put up with you, so she joined forces with Nate to poison you, wanting you to die quietly, so that your inheritance would naturally be Talia's, so do you understand now why you suddenly got sick?"
Eason stared at the ceiling, as if there was Talia on the ceiling.
"Poisonous woman, poisonous woman!"
It turned out he was not sick, he was poisoned.
It was Talia who wanted her dead.
That woman, who had not only cuckolded him for over twenty years, but also made him raise a wild child for over twenty years, was now trying to kill him.
At this moment, Eason was both angry and sad, and even scared.
Yes, scared.
It turned out that his wife was actually so evil-minded, and he had been with her for over twenty years.
Although he didn't love Talia very much, but after so many years, he had also long considered Talia as a family member.
Talia was ten years younger than him and would die later than him, and if he died and there was no one to take care of her in the future, he would arrange a nursing home for her before he died so that she would not be left unattended.
But she ......
Eason pounded his chest, "Retribution, it's all retribution! Hahahahahaha ......"
Crying and laughing, he didn't move.
