Shrugging her shoulders, Essie said, "To be honest, I don't know either. She has feelings for my brother as time goes by, and for Jim, they are quarrelsome lovers. I don't know who she loves more."
"If Vinton is still alive and comes back safely, it will be a complicated love triangle." Zac shrugged.
Essie glanced at him and said, "Zac, why do I feel that your words today are strange? You always mention my brother. Is there any news from Fred in South Eastern Asia?"
Zac said calmly, "Isn't the soap opera you watched a love triangle? I thought of something and asked by the way."
"I see." With a hint of disappointment on her face, Essie pouted. She really hoped that Fred could find out the good news and that her brother was still alive.
"Fred and the Kerr have been in the Southeast Asia for a long time, but they still haven't found any news about my brother. Mr. Baron, Mrs. Vicki and Elizabeth have discussed with each other. If there is no news about my brother in three months, they will hold a funeral and set up a tomb which contains his belongs for him." With a sigh, Essie looked sad.
Zac put his arm around her shoulder and said, "My little fool, if Vinton is still alive and comes back, will you support Eva to be with Vinton or with Jim?"
Taking a sip of the milk on the tea table, Essie said, "It depends on Eva. No matter if she chooses my brother or Jim, I will support her."
"Indeed, outsiders can't interfere in love affairs. They have to make their own choices." Zac said in a low voice, "Besides, Jim's speed is too slow. If he forces Eva directly, he will have nothing to worry about."
Back then, he was very decisive to deal with the muddled fool. If he couldn't subdue her, he would sleep in it and wouldn't give Hanson the slightest chance.
If Jim had been more domineering, Eva would have been his. Even if Vinton had come back, Eva would not have regretted.
People should be quick, ruthless and accurate in love. They should make a move when it was time. They couldn't hesitate. Once they hesitated, it would be bad.
In Country F.
A handsome man was sitting on a wheelchair, staring blankly at the place where the sound of the wave came.
At the end of the sea was the place he missed, where there were the people he missed day and night.
'Eva, are you okay? Even if I'm not with you, you will live well, won't you?
I miss you so much. I really hope that I can grow a pair of wings and come back to you.
But I can't see your beautiful face and charming smile anymore.
I can't stand up anymore. I can only sit on a damn wheelchair.
I can't protect you as before.
Maybe it's a good thing for you to think that I'm dead and start a new life.
I think Jim will take good care of you for me.
I know he likes you. I always know it," he thought.
Andria, a servant, came over and knelt down at his feet.
"Sir, have you considered my suggestion? Our master is going to marry our Miss to an old man. Only you can save her. As long as you are willing to marry her, our master will arrange a servant to donate the corneas so that you can see the light again."
"I have a wife. I love her very much. I can't marry anyone else," said Vinton.
"But, a man can marry several wives here, and our master has four wives. If it weren't for our Miss, you would have died on the uninhabited island. She saved your life. Do you really want to see her die without saving her?" said Andria.
"Do you have a phone here? I want to call my wife," said Vinton.
"We can't make phone calls abroad. We can only make phone calls in the city. I can't help you. The reason why someone takes care of you now is because of our Miss' order. If our Miss marries someone else, no one will take care of you. You can't see, your legs are not good, and you can't speak well. The people outside are not like our Miss and I, who can speak Chinese and communicate with you. At that time, you can only be a beggar on the street," Andria threatened.
Vinton clenched his fists. If he could see and stand up, how could he be threatened by her here?
He knew how terrible his situation was now.
If he refused, he might never be able to go back. If he died in a foreign country, he would never see his favorite Eva again.
People had to bow their heads under the eaves.
He had to put up with it and try to cure his eyes first. Only when he could see and return to Dragon City could he have hope.
After a long silence, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I promise you."
