193 I Know

A pair of hazel eyes appeared before her.

"Victor? You..." She looked at him from head to toe.

The man is in a wheelchair but he was smiling. There is also evidence that he could use his arms and hands well.

Su Linyu bolted into his embrace and leaned in, as if she had lost all strength.

"Victor..." she broke into tears in his embrace. "Verdan...he...I..."

"I know..." he consoled her by gently rubbing her back.

"B-but...then he...and now he..." she wailed.

"I know...we will get him back. I will help you." Victor Zhou had a subtle smile on his face. His hazel eyes showed sincerity.

Even though she had been mean to him, especially that time when he needed family support, he still considers her as his wife.

As they were married for financial reasons, Victor Zhou had always considered his wife as a friend whom he needed to provide for. Except when they needed to have children there were never any romance between them.

However, he made sure that at least on the surface, his children would perceive their marriage as something that works. As time went by and the children grew up to be adults, he knew they understand what their real relationship is like.

"Linyu...we have to take him back. Not just for us...most importantly, for his own family."

"You actually believe that old monster?! My son would never marry his daughter!"

"No. Verdan did not marry the daughter of Chairman Song..." he paused. He took a deep breath and looked at his wife in the eyes. "He married Xiu Jin's daughter."

"What?! No! It can't be! No...he can't!"

"Would you rather prefer him dead?" Victor Zhou was half asking and half joking.

Su Linyu glared at him.

He chuckled at her glaring face streaked with tears.

"Let's talk about his family later on. Right now, we need to take him back first."

"Agatha..." the fair hand of Samantha Yang reached out to pat the hand of the daughter she raised as they sat facing each other in a café.

Agatha Yang finally agreed to meet the only mother she knew. The meeting was requested several times. She finally succumbed when she was informed that her brother is back in the hospital.

"I'm back at the Xiu's now. Can't you leave me alone?"

"Agatha, I'm your mother! How could you talk to me like that?!"

"As far as I know, you only have a son." The indifferent expression on Agatha's face hid her dimples. Her hazel eyes looked lifeless. She slid off her hand from her mother's. She held the teacup with both hands, as if creating an excuse for her action.

Samantha Yang refocused her objective and shifted her expression. "I was hoping you would at least be grateful of your parents who raised you. You might not be our biological daughter, but we treated you as our own. We even married you off into a rich family."

Agatha's face turned into an irritated expression. "What do you want?"

"Your brother is in the hospital again."

"I know. I can't pay for his bills again. I only have enough for my everyday needs. I seldom go out. I tend to eat at home."

"You unfilial child!"

The sound of the wooden chair legs harshly rubbing against the floor, along with the sudden movement of standing, startled the older lady.

"It's enough that you almost got me and my husband killed. Don't bother me again!" Her heels clicked against the tiled floor of the restaurant.

The older lady frowned too much that her face contorted to something ugly. She glared at the retreating figure as she dialled her phone.
