Chapter 109 Determined to Take Revenge
Avery was completely disheartened. She had thought that Jacob wouldn't be so heartless even if he was not a good person. But now she realized that she didn't know him at all.
"Bella, you know what? On the day my father had an accident, I was at home preparing food because it was Jacob's birthday..."
Isabella handed her a few tissue papers to wipe her tears, but her tears kept running down her face, quickly wetting the tissues.
"Jacob never celebrates his birthday because he shares the same birthday with his sister. Every time it's their birthday, his mood is not good. In order to cheer him up, I tried my best. I remember clearly that I prepared a lot that day, but he didn't come back. Instead, I received the news of my father's accident and critical condition."
Avery held her chest, crying and gasping for breath. "I once thought that if our doomed fate had to be resolved with death, I would rather die. But now I regret it. Why is the one who's going to die me and not him? Why did I get a terminal illness? Why is it so unfair?"
"Avy, calm down first. Just because he appeared at the scene doesn't mean he planned the accident. Who sent you the message? What if it's someone with ulterior motives?"
"This is a detective I especially hired to investigate my father's case. I have no grudges with him, so why would he scheme against me? It was his sister's birthday that day, so he wanted it to be the anniversary of my father's death! Maybe he didn't expect it to be delayed for so long, and my father managed to survive."
Avery forced a bitter smile. "I used to think that he spared the Adams family because of me. Maybe at some point, he even wanted to kill me. Oh right, my child!"
