Chapter 658 Go back to the South
"Such being the case, I'll just let you do whatever you want. You're an adult now, and you're entitled to
make life choices for yourself."
"I only hope you'll remember that, whatever happens in the future, your father and your brother will
always support you, you get it?"
Tears streamed down Victoria's cheeks silently.
She buried her head in Brandon's arms, nodding and weeping.
"I get it."
Now Brandon felt a little relieved. He patted Victoria gently on the back to calm her down, as if she was
a child.
He said, "Cry it out loud if it makes you feel better."
The two had talked for a long time in the study.
It was after half an hour later that the conversation was over.
Victoria's eyes were still red when she went downstairs, but obviously, she was in a better mood now.
Charlie had been waiting for her downstairs. He greeted her immediately at the sight of her.
"How's it going?"
Charlie grabbed Victoria's hand and pulled her into their room.
Victoria gave a smile and nodded. "Done."
Charlie raised his eyebrows.
Victoria pressed her lips together before she smiled, "Dad loves us. Charlie, don't confront him again.
He..."
As Victoria said that, the two of them had already gone into their room.
Charlie suddenly threw Victoria in his arms as he closed the door.
"He what?"
He dropped his head to kiss her as he spoke.
Panting, Victoria stuttered, "He's getting old, and he has done all this for my own good. Don't..."
Charlie chuckled all of a sudden.
He used his body to push her to the bed as he kissed her.
"Victoria, I never confront him. It's just that he wouldn't let me go. As I said, I don't care about anything,
as long as he doesn't stop us from being together."
Now Victoria was pushed to the bed by Charlie.
Startled, she stretched out her arms subconsciously to push him away, mumbling, "What are you doing,
Charlie..."
Before she could finish her sentence, her lips were sealed by Charlie's.
It was another sleepless night.
Since Victoria still had work to do in the next few days, she wouldn't be staying long in Julio.
Now, the New Year holiday was already over. During the holiday, both Brandon and James were busy
holding or attending parties, and they had no time to keep her company, so Victoria went back to Eqitin
with Joy and Charlie.
Meanwhile, after the New Year holiday, Maria got Laura another modern urban drama, and Laura was
busy filming now.
She hadn't met Christine recently, so nothing had happened between the two.
At the same time, Fannie was getting better day by day.
During the filming, Laura asked for a day off to take Fannie to St. Peter's Hospital for an overall
checkup.
Ordinarily, a family doctor would come to check on Fannie, but Laura still believed that it was better to
have the specialist of international reputation in St. Peter's Hospital check on Fannie, and he was also
the one doing her surgery back then.
Besides, the specialist wouldn't refuse for the sake of Max.
Moreover, Fannie was his patient, to begin with.
It turned out Fannie was in a good condition now, and she was no different from a healthy person,
except that she couldn't get angry or do heavy physical labor.
Laura and Fannie were happy to learn that.
Laura asked the cook to prepare a big dinner for them when they got home.
Fannie, rarely, even cooked in person. She made two appetizers.
Laura had grown up having these dishes. It had been long since she had last had them, and now she
felt warm and nostalgic for the old days.
Max was, naturally, struck by the happy atmosphere.
The whole night went by in a cheerful mood.
Max had met some technical problems in the research institute today, but nothing like a happy family
dinner to wash the frustration away.
However, just as the whole family was sitting on the couch watching TV after dinner, Fannie suddenly
said that she would go back to Julio.
Both Laura and Max were shocked to hear that.
Laura objected at once.
"Mom, why do you wanna go back there all of a sudden? You have no friends or family there. You'll be
lonely!"
Fannie, nevertheless, shook her head with a smile.
"I can't stay with you forever. Now you all have your priorities and your own life. I'll be a burden for you
if I continue staying here."
As she said that, Laura and Max's faces darkened at the same time.
Laura said with a sullen face, "Mom, stop calling yourself a burden. You're my mom, and you'll never be
a burden to me. You're well now, and you're supposed to live happily with your family at this stage of
life, but why must you go back to Julio?"
Max chimed in with her.
"Exactly. Fannie, don't think too much. Just live here in Eqitin with us. If you feel lonely or bored at
home, I'll introduce you to a few ladies another day so that you can hang out together."
Max meant it. He had to work every day, while Laura was busy filming, so of course, Fannie would feel
lonely.novelbin
She had no one to talk to, except for the maids.
She also had no friends here, so she had no one to hang out with.
Thinking about this, Max couldn't help but feel guilty.
He blamed himself for not being thoughtful enough, even after they had lived together for so long.
If Fannie left for real this time, Laura would be devastated.
Fannie smiled with relief watching the two being upset.
"You two took me wrong."
She let out a sigh, her lips curving into a gentle and calm smile.
"I'm getting old. Eqitin is in the north part of the country and the temperature is low here, and I'm not
used to it. However, I've lived in the south for over ten years, and my body has long gotten used to the
weather there. Back then, I was worried about Laura, so I came here with her."
"But now, you two are happy together, and I don't worry about her anymore."
"I don't want to be kept to my daughter's side for the rest of my life. After what I've gone through, I've
thought many things through."
"I don't know how many days are left for me, but even if there's only one day left, I'll live it well for
myself."
"Now that you guys have tried so hard to snatch me back from the jaws of death, I want to make my life
all worthwhile."
The room went silent after Fannie finished her words.
