Chapter 22 (Part Two)
Nicole lost in thought, 'Just for what this couple had ever done. Why should I and Layton care about them?'
But looking at Primrose who was sad, timid, silent and didn't dare to look at her, Nicole was embarrassed in a dilemma.
"Dad just need the kidney of you two!" Howard begged. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Nicole still didn't say anything, but clenched her fists more and more tightly.
Lena seemed to lost her patience and began to complain, "If you hadn't pushed my daughter down the stairs and if you hadn't made her physically disabled, she wouldn't have lose immune to all kinds of diseases in the past few years, and in the end, her kidney failure... It's all because of you. It's all your fault that my daughter is like this. You have to atone for what you have done to her. Nicole, you have to atone for what you have done to my daughter! "
Lean in her mother's arms, Primrose cried so hard that her whole body trembled. She said in a low voice, "Mommy, stop it, stop it..."
Lena patted Primrose on the back and said with tears, "My child, you're too kind. You've been too tolerant and modest all these years. Otherwise, I've already got justice for you!"
"Mommy, I don't want to. I really don't want to... I don't want to... But I also don't want to leave you and Dad... " Primrose continued to cry while saying.
All of a sudden, Howard reached out and patted Nicole's fist on the table, begging, "Nicole, Dad beg you, please, please..."
Nicole's heart seemed to be on fire. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't bear the torture of her conscience. Finally, she asked in a low voice, "What do you want me to do?"
As if Howard had seen a glimmer of hope, his eyes lit up with a faint starlight, and his voice was a little clear. "In fact, I don't need you to do anything for this matter, because you are blood type O, while both of Primrose and Layton are type B blood, and the one that Dad need to help Primrose is... It's Layton. You just need to agree with me to take Layton back and ask Layton to help Primrose. I will take good care of Layton in the future. Layton won't be homeless again. Layton has transferred many new school and no one would discipline him. In the future, even if Layton is sick, I will still have enough financial strength to support him!"
Nicole finally looked away from Primrose and turned to look at the man. She raised her eyebrows and looked at the man as if he was a monster. There was a lot of sadness in her heart, and many ridiculous emotions flashed.
She didn't get emotional, but said in a clear voice, "What did Layton do wrong, Howard? When you had a feud with my mother, Layton was only a 9 year old child. Even though I pushed Primrose down the stairs, Layton was far away and didn't know what had happened. Since so many years passed, Layton didn't get the love of his parents, nor did he get the happiness that a child should have. Layton didn't owe you, nor did he owe Primrose. On the contrary, both you and Lena should feel deeply sorry for Layton, and even Primrose robbed his father's love and happiness! But now you are going to ask Layton to cut a kidney to help Primrose. Why do you think you can do that? Why?"
"You and Layton are very affectionate. If you can't pay back what you have done, you should ask Layton to do it. Anyway, you two should be responsible for my daughter! If you can't pay your debt, then your brother will pay it. Why not?" Lena shouted out of control.
Nicole was almost driven mad by Lena's words. She had to clench her fists to control her emotions. She still tried to speak sarcastically calmly, "What about my mother? She was forced to death by you. Shouldn't you let Primrose to pay if you can't pay your debt? If you can't pay your debt, then your daughter will pay it. Why not? You two have a connection. It's natural for your daughter to pay for what you had done!"
"Nancy also had faults. It's not all my fault. If she hadn't taken my love, I would have been with Howard! She caused such consequences because she deserves it! But my daughter had no faults. Why do you hurt her like this? Why are you unwilling to pay for it?"
"But Layton also had no faults. Why should he pay for the debt? Besides, please don't insult my mother. She didn't know that Howard had an affair with you. It was not until you and your daughter came to her that she knew she had been betrayed by Howard for more than ten years! Please tell me, what's wrong with her in this position? Who on earth took the love?" Nicole was also a little emotional!
Lena was speechless by Nicole's words for a moment. She didn't know how to say something against Nicole. Feeling sad, Howard was embarrassed and suddenly begged Nicole to say, "Nicole, Dad really have no choice. Primrose needed your help very much. She really need you. Dad beg you, please!"
Looking at this man, Nicole said dejectedly, "Where were you when I and Layton were homeless, staying around, being bullied by others, and even being driven out of the house by the landlord? Where were you when Layton was seriously ill and there was no medical fee? Where were you when I begged others for money? You said you had been looking for us and knew what I was doing, but you never appeared! When we needed help most, you didn't show up and didn't fulfill your father's responsibility. Now the daughter of the mistress is seriously ill and needs help, but you come out to beg us for help. Why should we help you?"
Nicole picked up her bag and stood up. "You are the most disgusting people I've ever seen. I don't want to see you again in my life. Please don't appear in front of me and Layton again!"
Nicole wanted to leave, but Lena suddenly stood up emotionally and grabbed Nicole's hand. "Where are you going? You haven't settled my daughter's debts. How can you leave?"
