"I will think about it." Janice nodded, a hint of unnoticeable resentment quietly flashing across her eyes.
If she couldn't get him, no other woman could get him.
In the Xu family's manor, Essie told Baron that Vinton might have been rescued by a merchant ship from Country F.
"That's great, Baron. Send someone to Country F to look for Vinton. I know God won't be so cruel to take my son away. He must be alive in the world," Elizabeth wiped her tears and said. Vinton was her reliance. Without Vinton, she would be nothing in the Xu family.
"No wonder Vinton hasn't appeared in my dream for so long. It turns out that he is still alive. It must be a blessing from our ancestors." Trembling, Mrs. Vicki grabbed the Buddha beads on her chest and began to chant, "Amitabha,"
"Zac's people have gone to Country F. There should be news soon. I'm worried that something might have happened to brother, or he might have been injured. Otherwise, he would have contacted us after such a long time," said Essie.
"My poor child, where are you suffering now?" said Mrs. Vicki, wiping her tears.
After Vinton's accident, she looked much older and haggard.
"As long as Vinton is still alive, it will be great," Baron said in a low voice.
He had never been a good father to Vinton. He had never cared about him since he was a child. He hoped that he could make it up now.
Valery snorted, "It was all because of that bitch, Eva. If it weren't for her, how could Vinton go to that island? How could he encounter a tsunami? She is a disaster, the God of plague."
"You just can't speak decent words." Essie snorted.
"Did I say anything wrong? That woman is a scourge. I heard that she has hooked up with Jim now. It won't be long before Jim will die because of her." Valery spat on the ground.
"Valery, isn't it because of me that you don't like Eva? If you continue to tie me together with Eva, I can do nothing. But I advise you to be more tolerant, or you won't even be able to find a husband," said Essie sarcastically.
It was well-known that Valery was domineering in Dragon City. Those young men from a good family couldn't bear her Princess disease and didn't dare to marry her. Valery didn't like those poor men who were willing to marry into the Xu family, so her marriage was still in uncertainty.
Being poked in the pain, Valery was so angry that the corners of her mouth tilted to the side. "Essie, let me tell you, I will find a husband better and more powerful than Zac."
"Then I wish you good luck," said Essie with a sneer.
In this world, there were very few men who could be equal to Zac. There was absolutely no one who was stronger than him. It seemed that Valery couldn't get married.
Elizabeth was worried about Valery's marriage. The older a woman was, the less good men she could find. Her Valery was such a good girl, but those men still refused her. Damn it!
Valery informed the reporters that Vinton was still alive, and Eva naturally knew it soon.
She called out Essie in a hurry.
"Essie, Vinton is still alive. Is that true?"
"I'm not sure yet. I can only say that there is still hope of survival," said Essie.
"As long as he is still alive, as long as I can see him again, that will be great." Eva collapsed to the ground, her eyes brimming with tears.
Her mind was in a mess, like a tangled mass of thread, she could not cut them off, nor could she unravel them.
"I thought he was dead. I thought he would never come back. I thought we were separated from each other in two different worlds. When he comes back, he will hate me and blame me, won't he?" Eva held her face and burst into tears.
"Eva." "It's not your fault. We didn't expect that after so long, my brother still has a chance of survival. We have published the notice of lost in every country in Southeast Asia, including Country F. If the person who saved my brother sees it, he should contact us. But there was no news for so long. Of course everyone will think that brother is in danger."
"Essie, since that ship might have saved Vinton, why didn't they contact us?" Eva asked.
"Either they didn't save brother at all, or something happened between them and brother and they didn't contact us on purpose. Anyway, it must be something. Even if brother is still alive, he might be in danger," said Essie thoughtfully.
"Then send someone to Country F to look for Vinton now. Country F is not big. We can definitely find him," said Eva.
"Fred has been conducting a thorough search there. Mr. Baron and the Qin family have also sent people there. I believe there will be news soon," said Essie.
"That's good." Eva nodded.
Essie held her hand and said, "Eva, now that you are with Jim, you must make a choice when my brother comes back. Short pain is better than long pain in love."
Eva was shocked. She knew what Essie meant.
The most difficult thing in life is to make a choice between the two people you love most.
"I don't want Vinton to be sad. Maybe if he hates me, that will make me feel better," Eva said painfully.
"It's not your fault. It's God's decision for you. You and my brother are destined to be separated, or there won't be a tsunami that separated you and let you be with Jim," said Essie.
Sometimes, people had to face their fate. It was said, 'Everything is written in your destiny and you don't have to persist in acquiring something you don't possess.'
The fate between people was decided by God. Once the fate came, it would not wait for a moment.
Eva and bother were destined to be together for the first half of their lives. Even if they would not parted alive, God had a way to separate them by death.
On the way back, Eva had been absent-minded.
After entering the villa and sitting on the sofa, she didn't move any more.
Until the twilight came in from the window and surrounded her.
