Chapter 2019
Avery saw that Margaret’s face became dark blue, and her eyes became cold and fierce, as if she could blast herself out in the next second.
“Ms. Gomez, the reason why I raised this doubt is because I went to see Caleb yesterday.” Avery was anxious, and explained, “After Caleb saw me, he hated me very much. With felt disgusting I left from him.”
“When people encounter this kind of blow, their temperament is easy to change. I heard his father say that he used to be more stable and sensible than Emilio. Now it’s like this, it’s a pity.” Margaret said, and then she changed the conversation, “I thought that I would treat him, but now I have more than enough strength.”
Avery was puzzled.
“My hands…have been shaking uncontrollably for the past two years…it used to be only a slight tremor, but the impact was not very big. Recently, it was probably overworked, so the tremors became more and more serious. You are still young, and you may not understand that an elderly person like us may wake up one day and find that there is a new problem with your body.” Margaret raised her right hand and glanced.
Avery immediately said with embarrassment: “I’m sorry, I didn’t know there was something wrong with your hand. I came here today mainly to visit you. I promised to treat Caleb yesterday, so I won’t regret it.”
“You come to see me. Are you here to ask me for guilt?” Margaret raised her brows and teased, “Travis came back yesterday and asked me if I had slapped you before… You really hold a lot of revenge! If it wasn’t for you to mention it, I would have forgotten about it.”
“Ms. Gomez, if I was so upset because of the slap that you slapped me in the first place, I would have gone to you for revenge, why should I wait until now?” Avery continued in a calm tone, “Every time my mentor mentioned you before his death, it was always a compliment. I naturally won’t be angry with you because of this trivial matter.”
Margaret heard the word ‘mentor’, and the expression on her face suddenly turned cold.
Margaret: “Don’t mention that dead man in front of me again and again!”
Avery: “Although my mentor is dead but he will always live in my heart.”
