Chapter 207: Chapter 207: She Wants Him to Live (1)
Raina looked down coldly at Shea: "Willing, since you’re ready to duel your own mother for a man, what else am I reluctant about?"
"Mommy, Mommy..." Shea twisted like a pretzel.
Raina bent down, kissed her daughter’s cheek, and stroked her little face: "Alright, go with your two brothers."
Baby Hawthorne didn’t want to leave. He wished he could be with Raina 24/7, but he also knew the situation was special now and could only follow Aunt Rivers back to The Hawthorne Manor.
After sending off the three little ones, Raina returned to the hospital room. This young woman was still in danger, and she couldn’t rest easy if she wasn’t watching over her.
Ding——
Suddenly, a soft beep came from her phone; it was a text message.
From Elias Hawthorne.
The message read: I’ll be back home late tonight.
Raina was a bit puzzled as to why Elias Hawthorne would send her this information.
Raina thought for a while and finally understood that it was probably sent by mistake.
At this time, the young woman on the hospital bed let out a low moan of pain, Raina’s heart tightened, and she threw her phone aside, quickly grabbing her wrist to check her pulse.
...
Elias Hawthorne looked at his phone for the 108th time.
The phone was still quiet.
Could it be that the phone was broken?
That must be why he wasn’t receiving any messages from Raina.
It must be so.
Elias immediately decided to have Aidan Lynch bring him a new phone.
"Boss!" Quinn Thorne suddenly lunged at him, snatching the phone away and throwing it aside: "Why are you looking at the phone? Let’s drink."
"You drink by yourself."
"Alright, I’ll drink by myself. Where’s the booze? Why can’t I find the booze?"
Elias Hawthorne, seeing Quinn Thorne’s drunk appearance, poured a glass of mineral water and handed it to him: "Drink this."
"Eh, why does this wine taste different from before?"
"This is the special wine I opened just for you."
"Specially for me, huh." Quinn Thorne took the wineglass filled with water and gulped it down: "Good wine! Really good wine!" He chuckled, patting Elias Hawthorne on the shoulder: "Boss, you’re the best, giving me such good wine. Great! The boss is great!"
Then he slumped onto the coffee table: "Boss, you say you’re willing to be so good to me, your brother. How could she be so ruthless to me, the one she sleeps beside? Didn’t she always say she loved me?"
Elias Hawthorne looked at Quinn Thorne in his agony: "She’s already gone, you should let it go too."
"Let it go? I want to let it go too, but this heart, it just won’t let go. Boss." Quinn Thorne suddenly lifted his head, his eyes red: "Tell me, was I completely wrong back then?"
Elias Hawthorne looked at Quinn Thorne: "Yes. You were wrong back then."
Quinn Thorne paused for a moment, then laughed: "Great! The boss is such a good brother, willing to tell the truth, unlike others who always lie to me! But the problem is, I’m not a fool, it’s not so easy to fool me!"
"Hmm, you’re not a fool."
"No, I am a fool, the biggest fool in the world. If I weren’t a fool, how would I have lost her?" Quinn Thorne’s eyes were filled with pain: "Boss, do you know? Sometimes I really want to chase after her, but I also know very clearly that Anya wants me to live."
Only by living can I constantly feel that heart-wrenching pain.
Elias Hawthorne looked at Quinn Thorne, a flash of pity in his eyes, and patted him on the shoulder: "It’s been so many years, forgive yourself."
"No, Boss, I can’t. If I even forgive myself, who will bring justice for Anya?" Quinn Thorne grabbed another bottle of alcohol and gulped it down.
Bang——
The bottle fell to the floor, shattering into pieces, and Quinn Thorne also fell to the floor beside him.
Elias Hawthorne reached out, dragged him back, and threw him onto the sofa.
