Hey, My Twins Babies novel Chapter 426

Hearing what Rufus said, Isobel was shocked. With her eyes wide open, she asked Rufus.

“Do you mean my brother hit Brian in the car accident?”

“Yes.”

After hearing Rufus’ answer, Isobel's had heartache and her tears once again fell down.

“What's going? Why are we in a tangle? Was our Chambers family indebted to you last life and we have not paid you back?”

Seeing that Isobel in tears with painful expression, Rufus felt distressed.

“Don't cry. It's destiny. We are not indented to each other. Pain must be endured, all people have to go through pain to grow up, to be mature.”

“It is only through suffering that we know what happiness is. Let us take it; their happiness is worth the sacrifice of both of us.”

Rufus comforted and persuaded her. Escaping was irresponsible behavior for everyone, he did not want to be sorry to anyone.

Isobel could not think about any problem at the moment. She did not understand why after 20 years, they had not moved on but got more entangled.

Was this so-called fate? If it was really fate, it should be a bad fate.

“Winwin went to surrogacy because of medical bills and lack of money to compensate the deceased. But we did not expect the wounded man was Brian, and that Winwin surrogate for Brian?”

“We did not see the families of the dead or injured during the whole process. We only saw your lawyer who represented you. If we had seen it earlier, it probably wouldn't be what it is now.”

The feeling of Isobel was not on a line with Rufus. She was still thinking about the incredible predestination, but Rufus had already come up the solution.

Isobel continued.

“Winwin had already got the money for the injured and the damaged car ready. No matter how hard it was for us, we didn't use the money all these years. I don't understand why Brian suddenly disappeared, and the mobile phone we had been contacting was turned off and never turned on again. Had we been in touch earlier, none of this might have happened.”

“I don't know about that. I don't know that it wasn't done. Brian had his head hit in the car accident, although it was not too serious, part of his memory lost. But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the compensation.”

Rufus was not clear about the specific situation, and did not know that the matter had not been handled after so many years. He was completely blindsided by the situation.

“The money we paid was a huge amount of compensation. Winwin said it would not cost that much if we followed the legal procedures, but the man was innocent after all. We tried our best to meet the demands of the other party...”

At this, Isobel did not continue. At that time, no one could understand Winnie’s and her suffering and helplessness. Now it seemed to be a kind of hell.

“Well, we are in the wrong and have no right to complain. An innocent life was taken by my brother, and all we can do is to let the family of the dearth live in peace of mind.”

Isobel undertook all the responsibility kind-heartedly and had more guilt to Brian.

What should she do? Should she let it be more and more tangled, or, as Rufus said, though it hurt many people, they solve the problem?

Isobel did not give her answer until the end. They parted, she told Rufus she would think about it and the thing of Vanessa could not add more mess.

After Isobel and Rufus parted, Isobel took a taxi and returned to the villa of her brother before. Standing outside the gate of the villa, Isobel was surprised.

The gates were locked, the yard was strewn with weeds, the Windows were shut, and there seemed to be no one living there. Had it been empty all these years? Had the bank not auctioned or had the buyer never lived in it at all?

Though surprised, Isobel did not think much of it, after all, it was no longer their home. The only thing she could feel was the shadow of her brother and sister-in-law still walking in the yard.

After dinner in the evening, Isobel mentioned the house to Winnie and Vanessa, but she did not tell them she had met Rufus.

“Our house is still there, as if no one lives there.”

Isobel sat in the middle of the sofa, flanked by Vanessa and Winnie.

When Isobel finished speaking, the two sisters looked at each other.

Subsequently Vanessa intimately embraced Isobel's arms, with her head leaning on Isobel's shoulder.

“Aunt, do you miss my parents? Do you miss our previous home? It is good there is no one, so that we can go and have a look casually.”

Vanessa did not thinking too much, she just thought her aunt was homesick.

“I was homesick, if only your parents were alive.”

Isobel took a sigh. If her brother and sister-in-law were still alive, none of this might have happened. Even if poor, Winnie was impossible to surrogate and she would not meet Brian and to tangle with Brian.

If she had come back earlier, things would never had turned out the way they were now. At least there would not have been two children, and there would have been no trouble with the Bennet family.

“Don't think too much about it. Or out parents would worry about us.”

Vanessa sensibly comforted her aunt. She did not know why her aunt suddenly became sad and did not ask why her aunt suddenly went to the original home. She only knew that her aunt was the only support for her and her sister, and could not bear to see her sad.

“Aunt, did you say the house is empty now? The villa has been sold?”
