Kevin said, “Mrs. Farrell was naturally furious. Shiloh was kicked out of the Farrell family that night. In the middle of the night, an ambulance took Holden to the hospital. Mrs. Farrell did not allow anyone to follow Holden to the hospital, nor did she allow anyone to follow her to the hospital. Anyone asking about Holden’s injury.”
At this point, Kevin stopped talking.
Liberty picked up the unfinished warm water and took two more sips. After putting down the cup, she looked at Kevin quietly, waiting for him to continue talking.
Kevin said, “I sent someone to the hospital to inquire.”
Liberty asked, “How was Holden injured? Was it Mrs. Farrell who injured him?”
Kevin replied, “It was Holden who committed suicide with a knife. I think it was Matriarch Farrell who was forcing Holden. Otherwise, Holden would not do this.”
Matriarch Farrell probably gave Holden two ways to go. The Janzen family behind Holden still depended on the Farrell family for survival. Holden would not choose divorce, but if he didn’t divorce, he couldn’t let Matriarch Farrell rest assured, so he could only kill himself with a knife. Only in this way can Matriarch Farrell feel at ease.
Liberty blinked and was a little dazed. She didn’t expect this result.
Kevin didn’t say much more about Holden’s injury but just said, “Holden is not dead.
It’s hard to find out about Holden’s injury. Matriarch Farrell covered it up and prevented it from spreading. This kind of thing is still very embarrassing for a man, especially Holden, who is the son-in-law of the Farrell family, so he has no dignity.”
Liberty said calmly, “Isn’t the experience of the son-in-law the same as the experience of thousands of women who marry into their husband’s family? It’s just that the roles and genders have been swapped.”
Kevin choked and was speechless.
After a pause, Kevin said, “Sister Liberty, my brother Duncan will be a good destination. Let the past be the past. We have to look forward and hope to get better and better in the future.”
He knew that Liberty’s first marriage had caused her great harm.
