Chapter 667 Life In Prison
As Talbot looked at Theodore, a sentimental feeling pervaded his heart. He had known him for so many years, but he had never seen him like this before.
One could only imagine what Theodore had been through during this period of time.
Helen looked at her grandson, and her heart was full of sourness. All his happiness was ruined by his own father.
“Mr. Drake, everything is clear now. You can make your decision right now.” Helen didn’t say anything else, even though she had plenty to say.
Her purpose was accomplished, all done.
The next thing to do was to wait for the final judgment.
Talbot nodded. Indeed, there was no need for them to go on.
He shouted at the door, and men came in and brought Derick and Wilson away.
Before Wilson left, he asked Helen, “When did you start suspecting me?”
“Is it important now?” She asked rhetorically. Since this was already the case, there was no point in pursuing the past.
He sneered and said nothing. How could it not be important? He had thought he hid it very well, and now, all his previous efforts had been in vain.
How could he stomach that fiasco?
After Wilson was taken away, Cecil and Alexander looked at each other. They were reeling in disbelief that the person who had died suddenly appeared in front of their eyes.
“Grandma.” Theodore turned his head to look lovingly at Helen and called softly.
Helen’s eyes turned red as she looked at him. She had missed him very much. “Theodore.”
Alexander looked at her and suggested, “Here is not a good place, let’s leave first.”
“Take me to see Everleigh,” she said.
Hearing this, Theodore’s entire body seized up. He didn’t know if Helen knew about Everleigh’s current situation.
“Let us go. I know that Everleigh is in the hospital. We, the Godfreys, are sorry to her,” Helen said as she walked.
Theodore’s eyes dimmed a little, and he followed them out of the room.
The group went to the hospital. Christopher and Erine were accompanying Everleigh in the ward with Alastair and Adrienne.
When Helen came in, Alastair and Adrienne couldn’t believe their eyes.
“Great-Grandma, is that you?” Alastair asked in disbelief.
“My dear, I didn’t die.” Helen walked over and touched the faces of the two children. They hadn’t seen each other in a long time.
The kids had already grown so much taller.
“Great-Grandma, I really missed you.” Seeing that Helen was not dead, Adrienne smiled slightly. Then, she took her hand and pulled her to the bedside. “Great-Grandma, my mommy is asleep and I don’t know when she will wake up. Can you speak to her more and tell her to wake up soon?” Her eyes reddened.
Helen looked at Everleigh with her eyes tightly closed. There was no sign of her waking up at all, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
“It’s my fault, it’s all my fault! Kids, I’m so sorry.” Helen suddenly burst into tears.
She felt more and more guilty for Everleigh.
Erine’s and Cecil’s eyes were also red.
They hoped Everleigh would hear Helen’s cries and open her eyes to see them.
However, the person on the bed remained immobile.
The ward was immediately surrounded by a somber atmosphere, and everyone’s faces were filled with regret.
In the evening, Theodore still stayed with her.
Adrienne and Alastair had already been taken away by Selena, leaving only Theodore and Helen in the room.
“Grandma, have you always been in Haviden City?”
“Yes, your grandfather bought this house for me. No one knew about it. Everleigh told me to hide in a safe place and secretly investigate the people behind the curtain. Only by staying out of the way could I see the whole picture clearly.”
Theodore listened to her and turned his head to look at Everleigh. He understood that she wasn’t trying to get Helen to investigate in secret. She just didn’t want anything to happen to his grandmother, or let anyone target her.
“Everleigh is a good girl. Theodore, why didn’t you trust her back then?” Helen said emotionally.
If he had believed her, they could have been married for a long time, and a lot of things would have been different.
Theodore regretted it very much. He often asked himself, “Why didn’t I trust her? Then perhaps all the tragedies never would have happened.”
Helen watched his regretful face and understood what was going on. She sighed softly, “Theodore, what are you going to do next?”
“I’ll wait and wait for Everleigh to wake up. There’s something else you don’t know. Everleigh’s greatest wish is to find the person who killed her biological parents. I will continue to help her search until her wish is granted,” he whispered.
She didn’t say anything. Now that Everleigh was in that state, it was the last thing she wanted, so to speak. It also gave Theodore something to do, otherwise he didn’t even know how to spend the rest of his days.
Wilson had been tried and sentenced to a lifetime in prison. When Theodore heard Alexander’s words, he really wanted to laugh.
“Only a lifetime in prison?”
“You think a lifetime in prison is a light sentence?” Alexander walked over to Everleigh’s bedside and took a look at her. He felt a little disappointed to see her being in the same condition.
“How many people did you send?”
“Not many, five in each cell,” Alexander said faintly.
Five people “served” Wilson everyday. He believed that he would like it very much.
Theodore’s eyes flashed. Only five people; that was too little.
“Add a few more, five’s too small a number. It doesn’t matter as long as he doesn’t die.”
Alexander didn’t care about his words. Theodore, as a son, was trying to torture his own father. What could he, an outsider, say?
In particular, Wilson had hurt his cousin in this way.
He didn’t kill him only because of Theodore.
“Didn’t the doctor say when Everleigh will wake up?”
“The doc says that Everleigh is in a very stable condition. Her life is not in danger for now. Just stay with her and talk to her, and she will wake up, just like Xavier,” Theodore explained.
He would go on with such hope.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Until she woke up.
“If it doesn’t work, I’ll ask Dr. Harrison to invite some foreign specialists to take a look.” Alexander wanted to call the best doctors over. As long as they could cure her, it didn’t matter to him.
“Dr. Harrison is already the best. The others are pretty much the same. I believe in him, and I think Everleigh would believe him too.” Theodore refused. He had heard Christopher previously say that Maxwell was also a frequent visitor to foreign countries to give seminars, and he was very capable.
Alexander heard this and thought it made sense.
“I saw Moses when I came in earlier. How long has it been since you’ve paid a visit to the office?”
“Everleigh hasn’t woken up yet. I’m not in the mood to take care of the company.” Theodore’s tone was matter-of-fact.
Alexander was really surprised to hear this. “If Everleigh sees you like this, she will definitely give you a talking-to. Don’t you want the company anymore?”
“That’s nothing compared to Everleigh.”
Alexander was struck dumb with the man’s reply, and he fell silent.
However, this wouldn’t do. If Everleigh woke up when the company went bankrupt, that would be a sight to behold.
When Alexander walked out of the ward, he saw Alastair and Adrienne coming over.
