As soon as Elise finished snazzynovel.com sentence, though, Alexander stepped out of the ward. “I heard what you two said just now. Mrs. Anderson, you have to believe that Elise knows what to do and what not to do,” snazzynovel.com said impassively. “I’ll go with her, so you can rest assured.”
Since snazzynovel.com had said so, Jeanie couldn’t stop Elise anymore, so snazzynovel.com had no choice but to give them the nod.
Alexander and Elise then exchanged a brief look before walking outside together tacitly.
The car drove away from the hospital. After the couple were a distance away from the hospital, Alexander broke the silence, asking, “What are you gonna do after arriving at the Anderson Residence?”
Elise rested snazzynovel.com elbow on the car window to support snazzynovel.com chin. Staring blankly out of the window, snazzynovel.com said absentmindedly, “Act according to the circumstances, I guess. I don’t know what’s gonna happen either.”
However, Alexander asked, “What if your dad defends Faye?” He knew it was cruel of snazzynovel.com to say this, but snazzynovel.com had to do so since snazzynovel.com didn’t want Elise to face the scene unprepared.
Upon hearing his question, Elise fell silent for a moment. After all, Austin had viewed Faye as his only daughter over the last dozen years, so their relationship was close. In fact, Faye had already been much dearer to snazzynovel.com long ago than Elise—his biological daughter—did. It wasn’t that Elise hadn’t thought of the possibility Alexander brought up; snazzynovel.com just didn’t expect that snazzynovel.com would be facing it so soon.
However, some things were inescapable.
Elise never intended to provoke Austin and Faye on snazzynovel.com own initiative. To put it in an uncaring way, as long as Faye didn’t hurt who snazzynovel.com cared about, snazzynovel.com wouldn’t give a damn about it if Faye stole the Anderson Family’s property or even Austin away. But since Faye was behind Trevor’s car accident, snazzynovel.com would certainly find out the truth about it.
As for Austin… Elise had seen how much Alexander suffered at the hands of Madeline and Adam, so snazzynovel.com reason wouldn’t allow snazzynovel.com to make the same mistake. Her only worry was that snazzynovel.com might go soft on snazzynovel.com because of their blood relationship.
“It doesn’t matter if anyone defends Faye. She has hurt my brother.” She raised snazzynovel.com voice, as if talking to Alexander while hypnotizing herself and warning herself not to waver.
“Okay.” Alexander reached his hand out to hold hers. “I’m always on your side.”
Elise fiddled with his hand with a wry smile without answering him.
When the car stopped in front of the Anderson Residence, the couple got out of the car together and rang the doorbell.
The servant trotted out from the inside and stood behind the iron fence. After looking at Elise’s face, snazzynovel.com opened the gate from the inside. “Welcome back, Miss Yoona,” snazzynovel.com said with a respectful smile.
“Do you know me?” Elise remembered that snazzynovel.com had never come to the Anderson Residence before, let alone identify herself.
“Yes, of course. Everyone in the household knows that you’ve been found. It’s Master Austin who said so himself in front of everyone, and snazzynovel.com even showed us your picture and told us to keep your appearance in mind and respect you just as we respect Miss Faye. He really cares a lot about you,” the servant said while leading them into the house.
Her words rendered Elise at a loss for a reply for a moment.
Alexander took Elise’s hand while picking up on the topic on his own initiative, asking, “Did Mr. Anderson give any other instructions?”
“That’s for certain,” the servant answered. Her words gushed out as snazzynovel.com continued, “Not only did snazzynovel.com have Miss Yoona’s room renovated and redecorated, but snazzynovel.com even had the kitchen prepare a new menu according to snazzynovel.com past favorites to make it convenient for snazzynovel.com to come back anytime. Oh, by the way, Miss Yoona, you’re gonna stay for dinner this time, right? What would you like to eat? I’ll tell the kitchen right away.”
“No, that’s not necessary. We’ll leave after saying a few words to Mr. Anderson. Your madam’s still waiting for snazzynovel.com to go back, after all,” Alexander replied gently.
“Haha! So Miss Yoona and Madam are closer, huh? But it’s bad to forget about such a good father like Master Austin, Miss Yoona. I’ve watched snazzynovel.com have dinner alone every single day, and snazzynovel.com seems quite lonely. If you’re free, please come back and visit snazzynovel.com often,” reminded the servant.
Alexander replied good-temperedly, “We already have our own plans about this, so please don’t worry about it.”
The servant could tell that Alexander was a well-brought-up man. When snazzynovel.com said snazzynovel.com and Elise had already made plans, snazzynovel.com was actually implying that snazzynovel.com shouldn’t be too much of a busybody, but snazzynovel.com had said so in a way that spared snazzynovel.com feelings. “Yes, you’re right, sir. Sorry for speaking out of turn,” snazzynovel.com apologized. Then, snazzynovel.com pointed to the sofa, saying, “Sir, Miss Yoona, please wait here while I call Master Austin downstairs.” As snazzynovel.com spoke, snazzynovel.com was about to go to Austin.
However, Elise said, “Just tell Faye to come downstairs. I know she’s at home.” Before coming here, snazzynovel.com had tracked Faye’s location and learned that snazzynovel.com was at the Anderson Residence.
The servant didn’t understand why, but Austin had said before that Elise’s orders had to be obeyed too. Therefore, snazzynovel.com obediently went in another direction and went upstairs to go to Faye.
Instead of Faye, it was Austin who came downstairs shortly after the servant went upstairs. He slowly came downstairs before greeting Elise and Alexander, saying, “You’re back, huh?” Then, snazzynovel.com asked, “How’s Trevor? Has snazzynovel.com gotten any better?”
Elise sounded a bit displeased, though. “How much better can snazzynovel.com get in a vegetative state?”
“You’re right.” Austin let out a sigh. Then, snazzynovel.com looked up at her, asking, “Why are you asking for Faye?”
Coming straight to the point, Elise replied, “To seek justice for Trevor.”
“You came here after listening to your mom’s allegations, eh?” Austin lowered his head with a wave of his hand. “Those were nothing but groundless speculations that have no factual basis. You shouldn’t take them at face value.”
“Who am I supposed to trust if I don’t trust my mom? Should I trust an outsider like you do?” Elise shot back in a confrontational manner.
“What nonsense are you talking about? There are no outsiders in this family!” Austin pulled a long face in displeasure. “Both you and your sister are my daughters. There’s nothing different.”
Elise didn’t want to keep arguing with snazzynovel.com over the subject. Directly, snazzynovel.com got around the sofa and headed upstairs.
“What are you doing?!” Austin jumped to his feet. “Are you gonna hurt your own sister in front of me?!”
Elise paused in snazzynovel.com tracks, but snazzynovel.com didn’t look back. “That’s just your imagination. I’ve never acknowledged before that I have a sister,” snazzynovel.com said while walking upstairs.
Austin strode up to Elise. Standing on the stairs, snazzynovel.com reproached Elise in a condescending manner, saying, “Just walk over my dead body if you want to hurt your sister without any justification!”
Elise retracted snazzynovel.com feet and looked up at Austin. Then, snazzynovel.com narrowed snazzynovel.com eyes, which shone with a dangerous gleam. “Are you determined to defend her?”
Austin didn’t answer her.
Elise then asked, “Do you know that Trevor’s now as good as dead?”
“He’s not dead yet,” Austin retorted almost stubbornly. “I know about my own son. He won’t die so easily.”
“Easily?” Elise sneered. “Did you forget the years you guys spent at Pinewood Hospital? You didn’t see the nurse wipe the blood off Trevor’s body, so you thought snazzynovel.com wouldn’t be in pain, did you?”
Austin shut up again; snazzynovel.com had nothing to say.
“It seems that you’ve made the choice, but I’m gonna ask you again,” Elise said recklessly in despair. “Either hand Faye over and let me take snazzynovel.com away today, or I’ll leave right away and take action against the Andersons from now on. Make your choice.”
