Chapter 95 Another Sweet Kiss
"Mrs. Shepard's physical condition is indeed very poor. Besides medication, she needs emotional support as well, as mood can significantly affect the illness," Bethany said slowly.
"Of course, I will. I have already turned down all my work to stay at home with her."
"That's good," Bethany said. "I will come again for the next chemotherapy session. If Mrs. Shepard experiences any discomfort during this period, you can also call me."
"You're really putting in a lot of effort. Please stay for lunch. I have instructed the cooks to prepare for the meal."
"Don't bother," Bethany quickly declined. She would rather go hungry than eat with Karter and Aria. "I have to go home to take care of the children."
"In that case, I won't force you to stay." Karter then sent her to the front courtyard. Suddenly, Karter asked, "Bethany, are you and Raymond getting married soon?"
Caught off guard by the question, Bethany didn't know how to respond. Before she could answer, Karter continued, "If you two get married, I'll be happy for you. But I really regard Raymond as my own son. No one wants to see his son being deceived, so I hope you can be honest with him."
This question again...
"I understand," Bethany said slowly. "Then please excuse me, Mr. Shepard."
"All right, go home and have a rest early. You've had a tough day." Karter arranged a car for her and watched her leave.
After she left, Aria still felt uneasy and looked at Karter with concern. She asked, "Dad, are you sure nothing will go wrong?"
"As long as you don't give yourself away, there won't be any problems," Karter replied.
Aria fell silent, followed by frustration and anger. She kicked over a flowerpot angrily and cursed, "I feel so helpless now! I've been that little bastard's mother for so many years just because I hope I can be Raymond's real wife one day. But in the end, I'm rewarded with nothing. I hate it! If I had known that Raymond was so heartless, I wouldn't have done these foolish things for him."
Aria deeply regretted it now, but Karter said, "It's no use complaining about it now that everything has happened. As long as we assert that we know nothing about it, the blame won't fall on us. Just rest assured."
Aria felt slightly reassured when she heard the words. After all, for so many years, as long as her father was there, there was no problem they couldn't handle.
As soon as Bethany returned home, she kept thinking about Karter's words. Raymond truly wanted to marry her and was honest with her
Therefore, she couldn't hide her past from him. It was unfair to Raymond. After much contemplation, Bethany decided to tell him everything that had happened before.
If he accepted her past, she would finally be able to let go of the burden in her heart. If he didn't accept it, it would be better to end things before they truly began, sparing themselves from prolonged pain.
After returning from Shepard's mansion, Bethany went to the Zavala Group. As everyone in the company knew she would become Raymond's wife soon, naturally no one would stop her from finding Raymond.
Upon inquiring with Morgan, Bethany learned that Raymond was alone in his office. Gathering her courage, she knocked on the door.
Since she had decided to move forward and get rid of the shadow of the past, she should accept her past calmly. She was determined to tell Raymond everything about her past without holding back. With these thoughts in mind, Bethany felt nervous about how he would react.
"Come in."
