When she saw the notification from Netimail, she tapped into her inbox confusedly!
She was caught off guard when she saw a familiar name! Jed Hutchinson!
She saw Jed’s name. In an instant, tears welled up in her eyes. Was Jed not dead? If not, why would he send her an email?
Tears blurred her vision. Her fingers were trembling terribly, so much so that she had to tap a few times before tapping into Jed's emails.
Perhaps she was too excited, so she accidentally tapped on the back button. Looking at her phone's home screen. She could not help but doubt the reality of the matter.
She wanted to call Jed to make sure that it was true and not a prank!
She found Jed's number in her contact and dialed him.
Although Jed has died, she did not delete his contact. Just like how her mother died many years ago, she still kept her contact on her phone.
After calling through, she thought that she would receive an automated response, turns out, the call connected!
She sprang up from the sofa. Tears fell silently.
Was Jed truly not dead? A strong excitement overwhelmed her.
"Hello, is this Avery?" A man's voice came from the other end of the line. It was not Jed's voice!
This was an old man's voice. It was Jed’s father!
After Jed died, his belongings were brought back to Bridgedale by his then-girlfriend to his parents.
At that moment, Jed's phone could still be called because his parents had kept it.
[Dear Avery,]
[If you are reading this email, please think back to 18 years ago, when we were at Ylore, because I wrote this email in the hotel room 18 years ago. Please finish reading this email before contacting me.
No matter how badly you loathe me, I would understand.] [About a week ago, you said your period was late. I brought you to the hospital to check up and you fell asleep on the bed. The doctor passed me an ultrasound scan. I was so shocked I did not know what to say.]
[There was a tumor in your head and the tumor was pressing on your brain's nerves. It is constantly growing too. You had to undergo surgery as soon as possible. This was the reason why you called me to Ylore to help you. How could you get pregnant at such a time?]
[Of course, it was pointless to pursue this. I wanted to tell you this, but your bodyguard told me that you like children a lot. Also, you are a stubborn person. If you knew about the baby's existence, you would risk your life to give birth to it. I was feeling hopeless.]
[Between you and the baby, of course, I chose you. Which was why I decided to secretly abort your baby while you were under anesthesia.]
[Right at this moment, an unexpected event occurred.]
