Supreme Mars novel Chapter 415

Silence hung heavily in the ward as William uncovered the secret of the Henderson family.

 

Caroline and Lydia were stupefied and unable to say a word, while Leo listened with a serious face. Even if he had roughly guessed what had happened in the past, he was still affected by the whole story.

 

As for Rebecca, her features softened as William finished the story.

 

Everyone had some happy memories. Despite what she was now, Rebecca had used to be a girl in love 20 years ago.

 

Just as the old saying goes, time heals, but time also kills.

 

William cast an apologetic look at Rebecca. "I have to apologize to Rebecca. Truly, I married you, and I’ve loved you, but deep down inside, I’ve never forgotten Vanessa. Of course, I’ve also been thinking about Lydia all the time."

 

Rebecca said nothing but clenched her teeth.

 

Then William turned to Caroline. "It’s not that I don’t love you. It’s just that I miss my eldest daughter more. I owe her too much, but I don’t have the chance to make up for it."

 

Finally, Caroline stopped crying, but after hearing what William said, she started weeping again.

 

"Dad, don’t say that. I understand you!" Caroline said in a choked voice, "Now that you’ve woken up, it’s all worthwhile us looking after you for the past few days."

 

Leo also chimed in, "Exactly. When you were in a coma, Lydia was so worried about you. She donated two big bags of blood to save you. I’m sure she did it out of kinship in addition to her kindness."

 

At this moment, William’s gaze fell upon Lydia, who had been quiet. She was better than before, but still pale from anemia.

 

William couldn’t help but reach out, trying to stroke her cheek, but he stopped halfway before drawing back his arm.

 

He was aware that he was an unfit father, and that he was unqualified to touch his daughter.

 

However, the next moment, Lydia grabbed William’s hand and leaned over.

 

"Dad!" She took William in her arms and called sincerely. She poured down all her emotions and squeezed them within this word.

 

William froze before his eyes turned red. Now Lydia called him dad not because she married Leo, but because he really was her father.

 

"I don’t hate you. On the contrary, I know you did that to protect me. To me, Valenham is my sad place, while Emerdale is my real home!" Tears gushed out of Lydia’s eyes. "You make me feel fatherly love. You are my real father! And Caroline, from now on, you’re my little sister!"

 

"And you!" Suddenly, Lydia’s eyes turned to Leo, who hadn’t said anything.

Leo burst into laughter and took Lydia in his arms, while Lydia showed her emotions in front of everyone and rested her head against Leo’s shoulder.

 

After all they had been through, the family finally got together.

 

Rebecca, nonetheless, watched this scene blankly, feeling left out. A pang of regret welled up inside her, but soon, it was replaced by resentment.

 

What was done couldn’t be undone, and she couldn’t turn back.

 

"I have a confession, Lydia." Suddeniy, Caroline seemed to remember something and looked earnestly at Lydia. “Actually...”

Sensing danger, Rebecca rushed forward and yanked Caroline’s long hair.

 

“Ah!" Caroline moaned, slumping down to the floor. The next moment, she came to her senses, only to see Rebecca staring coldly at her, which made her eyes misty all of a sudden.

 

“What are you doing, mom?"

 

“Come with me!" Rebecca dragged Caroline out of the ward in a huff.

 

Lydia was confused, while Leo’s eyes glinted knowingly.

 

At this moment, Leo’s phone rang. Nadine’s calm voice came from his Bluetooth earphone. "My lord, I’ve got some findings. Something’s wrong with Rebecca."

 

Alertness flashed across his eyes as Leo heard that, and he walked out of the ward silently.

 

“Go ahead!" Leo said in a low voice, and rarely, there was a look of anger on his face.

 

It turned out it was an inside job!

 

“I checked Rebecca’s call records and cash flow. Recently, she has called a few unidentified numbers, and each call lasts less than one minute. Meanwhile, she suddenly transferred one million to another account, on the day your father was shot. The following is the cal! recording captured by my men. It isn’t fully restored, but you can get a general idea of the content.”

Before long, an audio clip was sent to Leo’s phone. He played it, and there came the on-and-off conversation between Rebecca and a man with a synthetic voice.

 

“Transfer one million..."
