Chapter 842: Chapter 836: The Death of the Young Girl (Part 3)
He let out a cold laugh, devoid of any compassion, sarcastically questioning, "Twenty-one years ago, I was merely a plaything for your amusement, wasn’t I? So much so, you didn’t even give me your real name and made me yearn for a false identity."
After speaking, he laughed self-mockingly, "No wonder, no wonder, I’ve been searching for twenty-one years but couldn’t find you as Rona Lynch because you never actually used that name."
Whitney Lynch listened to his words and suddenly froze, a flurry of emotions flashed through her eyes.
As if in disbelief, he had been searching for her for so long, yet also afraid that the past might be revealed.
She swallowed and spoke heartlessly, "I don’t understand what you’re saying."
"Then I’ll recount everything from the beginning and see if it helps you remember anything."
Whitney panicked and angrily exclaimed, "No! Don’t!"
Aiden Shaw, who had been silent, spoke up, with a hint of command in his tone, "Continue."
Hugh Grant pressed his lips tightly and revealed the events from twenty-one years ago.
It was an autumn, he had failed in business, his mother couldn’t bear the blow and passed away due to illness, it was the darkest moment of his life then.
Because he didn’t have the money for his mother’s surgery, he ended up watching her pass away without being able to do anything.
But as an unfilial son, he couldn’t afford a proper burial for his mother, nor could he buy a plot of land, and even the money for the funeral home was beyond his reach.
He stood on the bridge, staring at the river below, choosing to escape the trials and blows the world gave him.
Just as he was about to end it, Rona...
No, it was Whitney, she dashed over and hugged him.
Initially, he struggled in his quest to die and inadvertently pushed Whitney to the ground.
Whitney cried out in pain.
Her cries shocked him momentarily, as he turned back and saw her tear-streaked face, approached her and apologized.
Whitney cried while holding his hand, leading him away from the bridge.
Whitney took him to a park café, ordered him coffee, and asked if he was going through something.
He nodded.
She said things would pass, given time.
Perhaps, Whitney was the only one who cried for him when he was about to die, opening his heart, he told her what he was experiencing.
Whitney handed him a card, saying the money was lent to him, and when he was capable in the future, he should repay her.
He needed money desperately to let his mother rest in peace.
He accepted the money and promised he would repay her someday.
Back then, Whitney was like a ray of light in his life, one day, she came to him drunkenly, fell into his arms, and confessed she had fallen for him at first sight.
A lonely man and woman, alone in a room, like dry wood meeting a fierce blaze, everything happened naturally.
The next morning, seeing the blood on the sheets, he realized it was Whitney’s first time and swore to cherish this girl who appeared during his hardest and toughest times.
Their relationship lasted precisely one month.
But afterward, her phone was turned off, and she never contacted him again, vanished into thin air inexplicably.
He searched for her a long time until Aiden Shaw found him.
Aiden Shaw said he would take him to meet the person he wanted to see.
But he never thought, after twenty years, Whitney wouldn’t recognize him.
Her gaze towards him was as if he was a stain on her life, eager to discard him.
Georgia Thorne, after listening, shook her head bewilderedly, "How could this be? You must have mistaken her. My mother got married twenty-five years ago."
