"Oh! It's good that you've woken up. I'm so happy." Aisling was so excited that she burst into tears. She put the lunch box on the table and wiped her tears before she looked at Eden, "Do you feel better now? You can't have an accident again. I was too scared before you woke up. By the way, Victor, you brat! Why didn't you tell me that Eden had woken up?"
Victor smiled, "Mom, I wanted to give you a surprise, didn't I?"
Hearing the way Victor addressed her, Aisling was a little stunned, "Ha-ha..." She couldn't help but laugh and then said teasingly, "You and Eden have been married for so long, and you didn't call me mom until just now. I really regret that I agreed to let Eden marry you so early."
Victor was a bit embarrassed. He had a good relationship with the Clement family, so he had no way to call Aisling mom in the past.
Since Eden had woken up, she would be mad at him if he still didn't call Aisling mom.
He didn't want his little angel to be angry.
Seeing that he was too awkward to answer her, Aisling smiled and said, "It seems that you changed your way of addressing me because Eden had woken up. Well, I should thank my daughter."
"Ha-ha..." Eden smiled, "Mom, I will always be your considerate sweetheart."
Aisling nodded with a happy smile, and her eyes were loving and distressed, "Isn't it just? When you were a child, the atmosphere in our family was warm and lively because of you. Even Victor used to be delighted with you by his side."
Victor looked at Eden and chuckled, "Yeah, thanks to Eden, I had an unforgettable childhood."
Smiling, Eden blinked her big eyes and turned slightly to look at him, "It seems that I'm a lucky star."
"That's right!" Aisling gently stroked Eden's beautiful hair and said with amiable eyes, "Eden, promise me that you'll protect yourself in the future. Don't get hurt again."
Eden nodded heavily, "Mother, such an accident won't happen again."
"Mm!" Aisling suddenly thought of Grandma Clement who was lying next door. She thought that if she told Eden about Grandma Clement's accident, Eden would definitely suffer a severe blow.
But even if she didn't say it, Eden would know it soon.
Aisling hesitated for a while and said, "Eden, your grandmother had a car accident. She lives the next door. I tell you about it now because I don't want you to be too worried. You could even wake up, let alone your grandma. She has become much better."
"What?" There was a sharp pain in Eden's heart. Grandma Clement was so old. Why did she have to suffer like this?
"Why was there a car accident?" Eden was a little confused. She had an accident because of Rebecca, but why did Grandma Clement have an car accident as well?
Victor said in a serious tone, "Half a year ago, I held a shareholders' meeting of Jotham Alwynn Group. Grandma wanted to send me the contract, and she had an car accident on the way. Later, the contract was missing. It was a premeditated murder." He always felt guilty about what had happened to Grandma Clement, and he couldn't be at ease until he caught the murder on his own.
Eden's eyes blurred with tears when she heard that.
"Who could it be?" Eden did not dare to think about it. Who would be so cruel to hurt such an old lady?
Victor put his hands on her shoulders and took a deep breath, "Eden, don't worry. There is no forever secret in this world."
Haven would definitely expose herself one day.
