Jay was a little stunned. He then said with a deeper meaning, "Oh, really? You miss the past?”
In the past, she was not Grand Asia’s president and wielded no power over other people’s life and property as she pleased, yet she liked it?
Angeline leaned on his shoulder and lamented, "I miss the old days when worries were the least of our concerns and I only had eyes for you. There's just so much helplessness now..."
Jay listened to her and hugged her tighter involuntarily.
How he hoped that everything Sydney said was fake.
He would rather believe that he and Angeline used to love and hold each other, that their love was unsophisticated and pure.
After dinner.
Jay washed the dishes whereas Angeline and Baby Zetty went to the back garden to admire the flowers.
Jay's mobile phone suddenly vibrated. He took out his phone and saw a text message from his mother displayed on top of the screen. Feeling a little puzzled, he slid to unlock his phone.
Madam Ares: [Angeline set me up, Son. I'm dying.
Please come and save me.]
Jay’s face grew ashen. He could feel an icy current sweeping through his body.
What did Angeline do to his mother?
When Baby Zetty saw Mommy's hands, she was so flustered that she brought the first-aid kit and pressed Mommy onto the couch before saying thoughtfully," Let me disinfect your wounds for you, Mommy."
Angeline ignored her wounds and took her daughter's hand, begging her. "Baby Zetty, call Daddy and ask him to come home."
"Okay, okay. When I'm done cleaning your wounds, I'll make sure to give Daddy a call and ask him to come home." Baby Zetty promised.
Meanwhile.
Jay followed the navigation Madam Ares sent him and successfully located Madam Ares in a dark room.
There was a tiny opening at the bottom of the dark room's door panel. Through the tiny opening, Jay could see Madam Ares lying in a pool of blood.
