Chapter 253
The Forger's Residence was brightly lit with children running around. In contrast to the endless laughter, Shawn
appeared distant and aloof, even bordering on cruel.
He was exactly like when we first met.
He completely ignored Rudy. I, on the other hand, gave Rudy a slight stare and politely reminded him, "Mind your
own business."
"You're threatening me now, huh?"
I wasn't; I was only courteously reminding him.
Then, I entered the room and shut the door. Vaguely, I heard Rudy asking, as if he was watching the fire across the
river, "Did you make her angry again?"
After failing to get Shawn's response, Rudy continued, "Women are just troublesome."
Why did he say so, though? Did May go looking for trouble with him last night?
That did not seem like something May would do, though.
I turned around and took a sip from a water bottle I found in the room. After a while, I took two of the anticancer
drugs from my bag and popped them into my mouth.
Just based on my current state, my condition had indeed worsened. I could only hope that it would stabilize and not
deteriorate further, but the doctor had advised me to have my womb removed.
I was well aware of what that would entail. Though having my womb made no difference because I wasn't in a
condition to become pregnant, removing it would mean that I was completely no longer eligible to have a child.
My body had been tortured to an unbearable state by me!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI was simply not meant to be a mother in this lifetime.
Heaving a sigh, I sat down and curled up on the sofa. At this moment, someone knocked on the door. "Joseph, who
is that?"
"Miss, Mr. York is here."
Kevin?!
I stood up and went to open the door barefoot. When the door was opened, I saw Kevin standing there with a
bouquet of bright red roses in his arms. Seeing me, he stuffed the bouquet into my arms and said, "I'm finally
seeing you after such a long time! Shawn has asked me to give this to you."
"You can just tell me straight up that you bought it."
He laughed at that. "I'm just trying to score some points for Shawn!"
Even though Shawn and I were no longer together, I didn't want to ruin my relationship with Kevin. After all, he had
been treating me well all along.
I then moved my body a little for him to enter the room.
He walked in and, after taking a look around the room, said, "Nicholas truly cares about you. He assigned you the
best room."
While I bent down to place the roses on the table, Kevin, who was standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows, asked,
"Are you going to reconcile with him?"
"No." I shook my head and denied it.
Indeed, Nicholas had become a gentleman, but everything that had happened between him and me was now
history.
"What are your plans for Shawn, then?"
At this point, I realized that Kevin was here today to be a go-between.
Thus, I pretended to be ignorant. "What do you mean?"
"Are you still blaming Shawn for breaking up with you?"
I sat back on the sofa. While scrolling my phone, I commented, "Since we have broken up, there's no blaming going
on. I'll just accept it!"
Truth be told, there was nothing to play with on the phone, but Emma suddenly added me to two group chats, one
with her, James, and Merlin, and the other with Diego, Kevin, and Shawn. I guessed Ian, Morgan, and the rest of
them were in it as well. What a brilliant move, but why did Emma add me to these group chats all of a sudden?
'Why did you add me to the group chats?' I asked her in a personal message.
'I've wanted to add you to the group chat with Merlin for a long time, but I forgot about it earlier. Whereas the one
with Shawn… Kevin asked me to add you to it this morning, but I didn't see it until now. There's no other meaning.
You can ignore them if you want, or you can leave the group.'
'But Kevin can add me to the group chat himself, can't he?' I replied doubtfully.
'Well…' Emma replied. Then, she sent another message that read, 'He wants me to take the blame.'
It seemed that Kevin did not dare to invite me to the group chat himself in front of Shawn.
Hence, he made Emma the scapegoat.
I laughed softly when I read Emma's message. At this point, Kevin came over and sat beside me, and I had to
quickly put my phone away. "Shawn has been missing for a month," he explained. "I only found out yesterday that
he was with WT all this while."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOn the way back to Bryxton last night, Joseph informed me that Shawn had ended WT. He essentially meant that
Shawn had completely destroyed WT, but I couldn't figure out why Shawn wanted to do this.
Wasn't that his territory?
Despite being curious, I did not ask Joseph to investigate further.
After all, I did not want myself to be too concerned with Shawn's matters.
"So?" I asked as I lounged sideways on the sofa.
Kevin moved in closer to me. "Do you remember when I told you Shawn killed his first person when he was
fourteen?"
He had previously told me that Shawn had joined a mafia gang in Europe when he was young. There, he was
scolded a b*stard, a magg*t, and was even spit on, but he endured all of the humiliation and pain.
"Was WT that gang he joined?" I asked.
Kevin nodded in agreement with what I said. "WT provided Shawn an arena to grow in. It was where he was most
familiar with."
"It was also where he had great influence," I added, my brow furrowed.
When Kevin heard that, he frowned and explained, "You have misunderstood Shawn. Despite his origins in WT, the
gang was unrelated to him. Not only that, but WT has been competing against Shawn for the past several years. He
wasn't bothered by their minor misbehavior and let them do whatever they wanted but unexpectedly, they
managed to capture him this time and imprisoned him with them for a month!"
At this instant, I understood why Shawn was determined to destroy WT.
If Shawn was imprisoned and controlled by them, the fact that he stabbed me…
