Chapter 131 His Attempt to Test You Succeeded
After enduring over a decade of humiliation, eight months of imprisonment, disfigurement, and vengeance for her own and her child's attempted murder, how could Eleanor, with her unyielding nature, simply let bygones be bygones?
Others might not know Eleanor's strength, but she did. Eleanor, who had been bullied by her since childhood, was always at her mercy.
She was merely a foil in her life.
Once, wanting to watch others having sex, she kidnapped Eleanor and hoped to see her turn into a slut.
However, a mix-up with the photos spared Eleanor from capture; instead, she was the one abducted and suffering the consequences of her sin.
At just seventeen, she suffered indescribable humiliation. From that moment, she swore to destroy Eleanor and take away everything Eleanor had to make her life a living hell.
And she succeeded. She seized away Eleanor's only hope, Michael, and thought she had killed Eleanor. But now, knowing that Eleanor was still alive, why was she so terrified?
The banquet continued, but after Sebastian and Nathan's departure, it lost its significance.
Yet, the guests didn't leave and were eager to see how things would unfold.
...
Nathan rushed Eleanor to the nearest hospital. She was diagnosed with a severe allergic shock and looked heartbreakingly fragile.
Waylon, upon hearing the doctor's words, instantly understood Michael's intentions. He was testing his mother because he doubted her identity.
Tears streamed down Waylon's face.
Watching his mother on the intravenous drip, he felt a deep ache in his heart. Why did everyone try to hurt them? What had they done?
Why should they deserve such cruelty?
Christian pushed the wheelchair for Sebastian and they went into the ward.
Sebastian saw his son crying.
His heart clenched. It was the first time he had seen his son in such grief for someone other than him.
He then saw Eleanor, who was pale and had rashes all over her body. Her breath was weak as if a mere gust of wind could blow her away.
"Waylon," Sebastian reached out for his son's hand.
But Waylon quickly withdrew his hand.
Sebastian was caught off guard and felt hurt with his brows furrowed.
"You couldn't keep her safe; just let her go," Waylon said. His Dad just watched his Mom faint and did nothing.
Stunned by his son's words, Sebastian stroked his fingers.
"Waylon, I've already told you to stay out of adults' matters."
Waylon made no response and just stared at him as his lips trembled.
His Mom had saved his Dad because the latter raised him all these years.
She was returning the favor by saving his life.
"I might not meddle in other affairs, but I can't stand aside when it comes to Aunt Eleanor," Waylon's voice, despite his young age, was surprisingly firm.
It was soft yet filled with power.
Sebastian was silently watching his son. Why was he acting that way?
In just one month, Eleanor had become a significant part of Waylon's life, and it seemed that he cared more about her than his own father.
"Why insist on letting her go if you care about her so much? You'd be much happier if she stayed," Sebastian couldn't understand what his son was thinking.
Waylon replied frustratedly, "Dad, Michael did this intentionally to Aunt Eleanor tonight. Why didn't you stand up for her? Dad, a man is supposed to protect his woman, but you failed to do that. Maybe it's better if she leaves." Waylon pleaded as his mother wasn't safe in the Moore family. He could take on the responsibility of seeking revenge.
"She deserves someone who can truly protect her," Waylon stated with a heavy heart. He knew his Dad better than anyone else. His Dad was void of emotions.
Suddenly, they heard applause coming from the doorway.
Nathan entered with a teasing smile, looked at Waylon's good-looking face, and said, "Young man, you've certainly surpassed your father in compassion."
Sebastian glanced coldly at Nathan's charming face and said nothing.
