Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Amanda and Casimir both got off, but Abbott was still in the car, as if he had lost track of what he was doing, and at the same time looking like he was still mulling over what Casimir had said.

“Mr. Baron.” Amanda reminded him, which brought him back to reality.

After getting off the car, they came to the ward led by Casimir.

“My mother is inside there.” He didn’t sound like he wanted to go in.

Abbott glanced at him and slowly solidified his guess in his heart. It was just that he still found it hard to believe.

Even though so many years had passed, Abbott could still recognize Emma with ease. Although she was not young anymore, he could still remember her face.

At this moment, the person lying in bed had woken up. She was able to see those who stood not too far away from the bed, and there was a frozen expression for a moment, but it developed into a self-deprecating smile very quickly.

She imagined herself having bad eyes now, “It must be almost time for me to go since we can still meet each other for the last time.”

She let out a long sigh, “It’s really head-scratching. We barely saw each other when we’re still alive, so what’s the point of meeting before my demise?”

“I am really useless.” She hated herself for remembering him, for still having such an illusion at this timing.

Abbott felt like his legs had turned to lead.

There was a churning motion in his chest, and he was only able to open his mouth after a while, “Emma?”

The woman lying in bed visibly froze for a moment, and then her eyes slowly became bigger. She was staring at Abbott incredulously, “You…”

Was this not her illusion?

“You, you…”

She was agitated, fearful and feeling a whirl of emotion. In the end, nothing came out of her mouth.

Abbott came over and asked with a solemn expression, “Where have you been hiding? Hmm? I couldn’t find you even if I wanted to, and it turns out that you’ve been hiding here.”

Emma seemed to be digesting his words, to the point that her eyes started to become wet.

Her voice was strangely hoarse, “You have been finding me.”

Abbott's eyes were slightly reddened too, “Of course. I am not as cruel as you. You can just disappear after making a fool out of someone. You can be gone without leaving so much as a note behind.”

Emma was sobbing now, and her lips were shuddering. Beads of tears were coming down from her eyes.

They flowed into her hair.

They flowed onto the pure white pillow.

Outside the ward, Amanda and Casimir were sitting on a long bench, and they had been wordless for some time. They could only hear the occasional voice of conversation and sobbing, the crying sound coming from the ward.

The different sounds interchanged with one another.

From it was still daylight until night came.

For those waiting outside, it was a long time.

However, Emma and Abbott felt that time was too short.

They had missed each other their whole lives.

They had been missing each other in their hearts, yet they never got the chance to tell each other their feelings.

After calming down, Abbott asked the doctor about Emma’s situation. It was her last moment in life, and even if there were God in this world, her life couldn’t be prolonged anyway.

Abbott was here to walk her through the last part of her life.

They didn’t just linger in the hospital. Abbott had brought her to many places.

They talked about their lives.

When Emma learnt that Abbott was a married man and had children already, her heart felt like it was electrocuted. The pain was as if someone were drilling a hole in it.

She knew it and she was ready to hear it from him. It was not likely that Abbott would spend his whole life alone.

However, no matter how she was prepared, when the moment he told her by himself came, she still couldn’t keep her emotions in check.

She lost her consciousness at that time.

Abbott returned her to the hospital, and after that whenever she asked about his life again, he would try to avoid getting further with that topic.

One day, Emma wanted to see the ocean, and Abbott proceeded to bring her there.

The sky was very blue, and the waves were lapping against the shore calmly. There was the scent of salt lingering in the air.

It was the smell of the ocean.

“After I am gone, scatter my ashes into the ocean.” She held Abbott’s hand, “…I never thought that at the very end, you are the one who is going to see me off.”

Abbott said nothing afterwards. His throat was parched and dry.

“Casimir… He… Is he my son?” This was what he wanted to ask most, and it was something he didn’t dare to broach too.

He had a feeling that the days were counting down for Emma. He really wanted to hear the truth from her.

“He’s all grown up now, and he can take good care of himself…” As she said that, her tears fell. She didn’t want to cry, but she couldn’t hold back the tears, “I have been indebted to him for too long, and as a mother, I am not worthy of him…”

Even until now, she never thought to reveal to Casimir her real identity.
