Chapter 218 What He Wants
Martha stared into Stefan's eyes and said word by word.
She went all the way to the Harrison Villa to meet Giana just to figure out something.
However, Stefan avoided eye contact with her.
It wasn't that he didn't trust her, but he believed it was a sure thing and there couldn't be more to it!
He didn't look at Martha and said in disdain, "What misunderstanding? They are just despicable human
beings."
"Despicable? You are not any better." Rhys sneered and refuted.
Stefan squinted his eyes and said sharply, "You were just a mistake my dad was forced to make. You're
his moral stain. If your mother didn't frame my dad, you wouldn't have come to this world. Your
existence was a mistake."
Hearing this, Rhys frowned. Forced? Frame?
Impossible!
"If my mother were as despicable as you said and I were a mistake, your dad could have sent us away
with money, but he didn't. Why did he often come to see me and my mother all those years?"
He was just a hypocrite!
When Stefan heard this, he was stunned.
How could it be! How could his father do this? It was equal to betraying his wife, wasn't it?
"Your mom took the money and left and my dad had never seen her again! You are lying!"
Rhys frowned. Was this what Stefan heard?
Martha guessed that Giana told him so.
She anxiously said, "I told you there is some misunderstanding between you."
Martha said to Stefan, word for word, "Have you thought that maybe the person who told you this had
ulterior motives? Maybe she didn't tell you all the truth."
Stefan wanted to refute Martha but didn't know how.
He did believe in the story Giana told him. In a rage, he didn't question any of it.
Now that he thought about it...
Giana's words were flawed.
He would've noticed it if he wasn't driven mad by anger.
As for Giana's purpose...
Stefan could tell Giana did have ulterior motives, but he thought that she just wanted to sow discord
between Rhys and him.
After that, Martha looked at Rhys. After a few seconds to hesitation, she said in a deep voice, "But your
mom did play some tricks to get pregnant with you."
Giana's words might be flawed, but some of them might be true.
However, the reason of their contradiction indeed lay in how Rhys was conceived back then.
Even if it might be true that his mother played some dirty tricks, Martha was in no place to judge a dead
elder.
Moreover, it was cruel to tell Rhys that his mother was a scheming woman.
But Martha really didn't want them to be used by others or immerse themselves in hatred. She wanted
to help them solve the issues between them.
Rhys looked down and a lot of memories came to him, all of which were about Frank arguing with his
mother.
He couldn't figure out some words then, but now that he thought about them, those words indeed sent
a lot of messages.
In some of their quarrels, there were words like "drugged", "plotted". Every time these words were
mentioned, Frank would get angry and abuse Rhys' mother with harsh words.
However, Rhys never wanted to think about what they meant and put all the blame on Frank for failing
them.
Martha's words struck him and those memories he had been trying to ignore came up. He was forced
to face them now.
Maybe what Martha had said was the truth but he didn't think his mother did anything wrong.
There was a long and terrible silence.novelbin
After the silence, Rhys sneered, "So, you want to make peace between us so that I can save your son
without any condition? You don't really think I would be that kind, do you?"
Martha looked seriously into his eyes and shook her head.
"That's another matter. I didn't intend to make use of this. I just want you to know the truth."
"There's one thing you have to admit. You're brothers and you can't change that. Who will benefit from
your fighting?"
Martha's words made them lost in thought.
She looked down and then at Rhys, asking, "I do want you to save my son, but is marrying me really
what you want?"
Was it really what he wanted?
Rhys looked away and didn't answer, still in silence.
Martha suddenly smiled.
She smiled resignedly.
"It's up to you whether to save my son or not, I can't force you. But I can do anything for exchange of
that."
Then she looked over at Stefan, gritting her teeth, "Excluding exchanging one life for another. That's
the stupidest means."
Then the room fell into silence and the two men were thinking.
They could hear the wind blow clearly.
Just then, the phone rang and broke the silence.
Martha answered it. It was from the hospital.
There came the nurse's voice.
"Ms. Doyle! Your son has just fallen into a coma and is now in emergency rescue! Things are bad. You
need to be here!"
All of a sudden, Martha felt the world spinning and she was about to be out of breath.
She felt her legs weak and almost stumbled.
