Torn Between Love and Hate novel Chapter 183

Chapter 183 Coughing Blood and Rescue Efforts 

Upon hearing this, Donna’s face immediately lit up with joy, feeling even more certain that the relationship between Evelyn and Adrian was now confirmed.

It hasn’t been long since they last met, yet Evelyn was eager to see him again.

Donna nodded immediately, “Go ahead, go ahead. The backyard is indeed chilly. Adrian is only wearing a sweater, so please bring him an overcoat while you’re at it.”

She said this and gave a meaningful glance to the housekeeper standing nearby.

The housekeeper immediately took a brown long coat from the coat rack and handed it to Evelyn.

Evelyn couldn’t refuse, so she took her coat and went to the backyard to join the fun.

Deborah, accompanied by Alyssa, sat down on the couch opposite Donna.

Donna laughed and said. “Ms. Shepherd, I haven’t had the chance to thank you yet. The gift you gave me was so thoughtful. I had my eye on it before but couldn’t get it. You really went out of your way.”

Deborah looked a bit bewildered.

That’s a set of health products, not expensive, and not a waste of money.

At the very least, it won’t let Donna set her sights on something she hasn’t bought yet.

Donna looked at the vase in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room and said, “It’s so big, it must have been quite a hassle for you and Mr. Black to bring it all the way here.”

Deborah glanced over and noticed the vase. It was the same one that the organizers had politely offered to give her at the auction earlier.

This antique, worth over 3 million dollars, is adorned with a drawing of Hygieia, symbolizing longevity and happiness. It is the perfect gift

for the elderly.

She had also considered buying it as a gift for Donna.

But it was indeed too expensive, so she couldn’t bring herself to buy it.

It seems that the auction house informed Joseph about it, so he bought it and brought it over as a gift for Donna.

Deborah shifted her gaze back, as the items had already been delivered. She couldn’t possibly let Joseph take them away now.

Deborah responded calmly. “You’re too polite, Mrs. Moxley. I’m glad you like it.”

Donna got up and sat down next to her.

“Ms. Shepherd, Alyssa has been living with the Moxley family for three years, and now she has acknowledged you as her mother. I have thought long and hard about her future life.

From the moment I first saw you yesterday, I felt a special closeness to you. If you don’t mind, how about I make you just like an adopted granddaughter from now on? Is that okay?”

Rebecca had just come downstairs when she heard Donna’s words, and she froze in place.

She was not Donna’s biological granddaughter; her own mother was merely Donna’s adopted daughter.

Speaking of it, there’s no blood relation with the Moxley family.

Over the years, Donna has taken care of her, giving her the best of everything, merely to make up for the regrets of the past, to compensate

for the loss of that young granddaughter back then.

Rebecca stood at the bottom of the stairs, feeling somewhat awkward.

She was caught in a dilemma.

This was Deborah’s first time visiting the Moxley family, and right upon arrival, she received a confession from Adrian and faced several difficulties posed by Rebecca.

She couldn’t help but be cautious in her heart, and it was even more unlikely that she would suddenly agree to become a child of the Moxley family.

Fearing that she might hurt the elderly lady’s feelings, she tactfully said, “Mrs. Moxley, I haven’t had any close relatives or elders around for the past few years, so I’ve grown accustomed to being on my own.”

So Donna didn’t say much more, planning to talk to her about Alyssa’s situation.

From a distance, Donna’s eyesight wasn’t very good. It took her a while to clearly see that it was Rebecca standing at the bottom of the

stairs.

It’s not appropriate to say certain things in front of Alyssa and Rebecca.

She then waved her hand and said, “Rebecca, take Alyssa to the backyard and see why Adrian and Mr. Black haven’t come in yet.”

Rebecca understood Donna’s intentions, nodded, and led Alyssa away.

After they left, Donna continued to speak, “Ms. Shepherd, Alyssa is your daughter. In terms of both emotion and reason, our Moxley family has no right to keep her any longer.

But it’s been three years, and I really like this child. Can you guys come and visit me more often, like every now and then?”

Deborah thought that Donna would make some unreasonable demands.
