Chapter 3106
When he was told of Irene's passing, he would often dream of her nightly. However, the dreams stopped when he started his company. Each minute was filled with work.
Ivy's appearance had reminded him of Irene once again.
Lucas' biggest regret was leaving home to study in Edelweiss without bidding farewell to Irene; he had thought that he would eventually see her again, only to be told later that he would never be able to see her again.
He had left his phone behind because he wanted a new start and did not want to contact his family. Because of his actions, he had lost touch with her.
Irene did not have any other friends, so he assumed that she had no one else to talk to after he left.
He did not know how Irene died, or whether she suffered before her death. Every time he thought of her, he would find himself overwhelmed by regret and sorrow.
He got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up. After washing his face, he felt more awake.
A voice inside him urged him to return to his parents' house and find his old phone.
Lucas' return shocked both Mr. and Mrs. Woods.
When Lucas returned, they were still in bed and only the housekeeper and servants were up and busy. Lucas mentioned he was going to the South Block, and the housekeeper went to find the keys, waking up Mr. Woods in the process.
As Mr. Woods got up, Mrs. Woods learned that Lucas had returned and also got up. "Why did you come back so early today? Why didn't you let me know in advance? Stay and have breakfast with us!" Mr. Woods said with a smile. "By the way, how is your mother's health?"
"If you truly care about my mother, go ask her about it yourself. She's not dead yet," Lucas replied.
Mr. Woods grew awkward. "Lucas, I wanted to visit your mother at the hospital, but she refused to see me. I guess she still holds a grudge against me."
"In that case, there's no need for you to pretend to care about her. If she doesn't care, I don't care either," Lucas said.
"Alright then. What brought you here today?" Mr. Woods asked.
"I came back to get my belongings," Lucas replied.
"What belongings?" Mr. Woods asked.
At that moment, the housekeeper came over with the keys to the South Block. "Mr. Lucas, here are the keys to the South Block. Do you want me to accompany you?" "I can handle it myself," Lucas replied as he took the keys.
After Lucas left with the keys, Mrs. Woods immediately asked the housekeeper, "What belongings is he referring to? I remember throwing away all of his things when he left." en.swhovels.net
The housekeeper felt embarrassed. "Yes, you did order us to throw away Mr. Lucas' belongings."
"You're trying to shift the blame to
me? Don't think you can gain any advantage from him just because, he's successful now! He won't do anything for the Woods! Don't act like he'll help the family in any way!" Mrs. Woods retorted.
Mr. Woods shouted in anger, "The housekeeper was just telling the truth! I was present when you had his things thrown away!"
"If you were there, why didn't you
stop me? It just shows that you don't care much about this son of yours! How dare you play the caring father now? Besides, it was all junk anyways. There's nothing valuable, so what's wrong with throwing them away?" Mrs. Woods snapped.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
In the South Block, Lucas opened the door and entered. The place had not been ventilated for a long time, and there was an acrid smell of must.
