Chapter 31 She Missed Jefferson's Phone Call
Hector looked at Elianna, and his expression was slightly cold.
"Do you believe our dad?"
"I do."
Elianna's tone was firm, "Dad is an upright person. He would never do something like that."
Hector's brows softened slightly, "That's enough. As long as you know our dad didn't do it, that's enough."
"What do you mean that's enough? Brother, you were with our dad at that time. Why did he... why did he leave us in that way?"
"And Mia, why did the Gibson family keep her death a secret? What..."
"Anna."
Hector called out, and his tone became serious, "Don't ask anymore. It's all in the past."
"The past?"
Elianna's eyes were red and swollen, "Our dad, a respected musician, became a public enemy and jumped off a building while carrying a bad reputation. Even in death, he is still being criticized! How am I supposed to move on with this!"
Hector couldn't bear to see her like this and clenched his lips in restraint.
"Don't be like this, please."
Elianna's strength seemed to drain away, and she slumped down.
Yes, what else could she do?
Their whole family was pushed to a dead end by the Gibson family. If it weren't for faking their deaths and escaping, they would've lost their lives.
Even if they knew the truth, what difference would it make?
A sense of helplessness surged through her, saturating her voice, "I understand."
She got up, "Rest well, and I'll come to visit you again in a few days."
Hector moved his lips but ultimately didn't say anything.
As she left the hospital room, Elianna's mood was completely different from when she arrived.
After calming herself down, she didn't leave immediately. Instead, she went to inquire about Hector's condition with the doctors at the sanatorium.
She originally wanted to visit her mother and younger sister, but the staff at the sanatorium kept urging her, so she had to return first.
