Chapter 440 The Truth

Upon hearing that, Silas and Gianna glanced at each other. This revelation is too overwhelming.

What’s that supposed to mean?

Did Gianna really make the right guess? Things weren’t really that simple?

“He thought the one who saved him was Lara? Are you saying that Lara wasn’t the one that saved

him?” Silas couldn’t hold himself back from asking

Ellen nodded with sadness visible in her eyes. She then looked at Gianna, feeling a little flustered to

talk about her past in front of her daughter-in-law. “Gianna, these are all trivial issues of our family.

Please don’t be scared away by them,” said Ellen vaguely Gianna was startled for a moment and she

said, “It’s okay, Mrs. Nolan. If you find it uncomfortable for me to stay throughout the conversation,

South and I can leave some space for you. We can go take a walk outside.”

As she was saying this, she got to her feet and pulled South as she tried to leave. Ellen hurriedly took

her hand. “No, no, I’m just afraid that my family issues will affect your relationship with Silas. You can

stay if you don’t mind.” At this moment, Silas helped Gianna back to the sofa. “Mom, you don’t have to

overthink things. I’m going to spend the rest of my life with Gianna. Besides, if it weren’t for Gianna, I

wouldn’t have remembered to ask you about this. I haven’t thought about this since the beginning and

really thought that Edward was captivated by Lara.” Ellen sighed again; her voice sounded helpless.

“He was indeed captivated by her. Both Edward and Lara were my university classmates, and he

always had a crush on Lara. During one of our class reunions, one of the rooms in the hotel was on

fire. But, restaurants thirty years ago were very undeveloped and there was no CCTV. Edward was

sitting at the end of the table. Everyone was rushing toward the doors. You can imagine how crowded it

was. I was sitting next to the door with Lara and so we managed to leave. But, Edward was nowhere to

be seen. I was very worried so I soaked myself with water and went in again.” When I found the room,

the door was closed; the entrance was blocked by a burning beam. The fire was roaring and I couldn’t

breathe at all. I closed my eyes and tried to put the fire out with a broom. When I finally got rid of the

beam and opened the door, Lara came in. She was covered in a damp blanket and when she saw me,

she put it on me. She rushed into the room and helped to get Edward out. I wanted to help her but she

told me that there was someone inside the room. I didn’t doubt her since we were indeed racing

against time with the fire. Covering myself in the blanket, I went into the room, but I found no one.

When I finally got out, Lara came in again saying that she might have been mistaken and helped me

out. That day, no one knew that it was actually me who had moved the beam and opened the door.”

Letting out a bitter laugh, she continued, “I couldn’t explain clearly what had happened that day. I

couldn’t say that Lara didn’t save anyone and tell everyone that she was taking credit for nothing. From

Edward’s perspective, it was Lara who had saved his life. In the eyes of our classmates, it was Lara

who had saved me and Edward!” Gianna was startled. “How could Lara be so scheming at such a

young age?” Helplessly, Ellen said, “She’s not scheming. I was the stupid one.” Gianna frowned in

response. “Then, how did you get married into the Nolans? Didn’t Lara do all that to marry Silas’s

Dad?” Taking a deep breath, Ellen answered, “The Nolans had intended to arrange a marriage with the

Mccarthys. Although Silas really wanted to marry Lara, she was abroad. I told him that if he can

persuade both our families, I would agree with his plan too. So, he went to the Roberts’, but they told

him that she already had a boyfriend and rejected his proposal. They didn’t even give him a phone

number to contact her. That night, he asked me out for a drink. He told me about how much he was in

love with Lara, how grateful he was that she saved him from the fire, and how if it wasn’t for her, he

wouldn’t be alive. I didn’t explain, but I did talk about the fire. Maybe he was too drunk, but he didn’t

hear what I said clearly. It might be that he didn’t care to listen at all. Anyway, he didn’t pity me at all for

everything I did for him.”
