Chapter 71
“Shawn gave it to me.” Carla came today with a purpose. She was messed up and didn’t know what to do. “Shawn was in trouble. He came to me yesterday, but I don’t know what to do.”
Carla hated him in her heart and wished him to die.
But in the final analysis, no matter how bad he is, he is still her father, and his blood is running in her body.
Lucia lowered her eyes, “I don’t want you to take it to heart, don’t entangle the past, don’t have ties to people in the past, don’t hurt, and don’t forgive.”
She understood what Lucia meant.
No matter what Shawn is, whether it is good or bad, she should not get involved with him.
“Ok.”
Later, the two spoke for a while, and Carla walked out of the room when it was time for the visit.
Coming out of the room, Carla went to the nurse’s desk to ask about the situation.
“She is so sober, does it mean that she is already well?”
“No, she selectively forgets some things and remembers the current things, but this situation won’t last long, one after another.”
Carla was a little disappointed, thinking she was all right, “Then please take care of her.”
“We will. Doctor Gill has taken special care of her. Please rest assured.”
Carla said thank you and left the hospital.
Since Lucia said so, she ignored her, and her grievances were wiped out, and she took a taxi to the company.
Sitting in the car, she cast her gaze out of the car window, looking at this familiar and unfamiliar city.
When the car passed by Lane’s company, there were many people around the door, pulling banners and writing in big characters; paying back the hard-earned money.
“Sir, please stop.” Carla lowered the window and looked at the situation outside.
The driver glanced back and said, “Have you heard that? These profiteers have cut work and materials, and the building collapsed before it was built. Those owners who have already paid for it can be regarded as a blood mold. Now, who would dare to live in such a house? But no, and there will be no refund. There are people around here every day during this period, and I don’t see any use, miss, did you buy a house here too?”
Carla shook her head, “No.”
“That’s good. Many people can’t afford to buy a house for a lifetime. Some people can only buy a house after emptying their pockets. If this happens, I am afraid to vomit to death. In the final analysis, it is the developer who is too callous and has killed so many people.” The more the driver spoke, the more angry he became, and it seemed that he was also a victim.
“Are you going to get off here?” the driver asked, it was a waste of his time to park here, and he had to do business.
“No, let’s go.” Carla didn’t just take it back and not look at it.
These are none of her business.
Soon the car stopped in front of the AAA Group building. Carla paid and got out of the car. When she was about to go forward, a man in a black suit ran over and said, “Is this Miss Lane?”
Carla turned her head and glanced at him up and down, a completely strange face, she searched for this person’s information in her mind, she was sure she didn’t know him, and had never seen him.
The last time she was taken away, she was very vigilant and did not admit her identity, but asked, “Who are you? I don’t know you.”
The driver did not panic and was calm, “I am the driver of Mrs. Gill, and she wants to see you.”
“Mrs. Gill?” Carla frowned, looking at a black luxury car parked on the side of the road.
It seems that the people inside felt Carla’s gaze, and the window slowly lowered——
The driver followed Carla’s gaze and said, “That’s Mrs. Gill.”
Chapter 72
When the car window was lowered, Carla saw the lady’s appearance, as noble and elegant as ever, yes, that lady was Jamie’s mother.
What did she find herself for?
Carla tried to inquire about the situation from the driver, “Is Mrs. Gill looking for something to do with me?”
The driver shook his head, “I don’t know about this. I’m just responsible for sending you a message.”
Jamie treated her well, no matter what the reason, she should agree, so she said, “Let’s go.”
Walking to the car, Carla said hello politely, “Hello.”
Maxine sat down and smiled gracefully, “Ms. Lane is free now? There is a cafe not far away. Let’s sit down?”
Carla hesitated for a second, then nodded.
“Come up.”
The driver came and opened the door for her, and she stooped to get in.
Soon the car stopped in front of the cafe.
Carla followed Maxine into the cafe.
Maxine chose a relatively quiet place to sit down, Carla sat opposite her, and the waiter walked over, “Excuse me, do you want to order something?”
Maxine put the bag on the sofa next to her and looked at Carla and asked, “What would you like to drink?”
“Give me a glass of plain water.” Carla replied lightly.
“Give me a glass of water too, and I will call you when I need it.”
“Ok.”
The waiter retreated and the position became quiet.
Carla sat quietly, waiting for Maxine to speak.
She suddenly found her, maybe it wasn’t just for coffee, right?
Maxine took a sip of water, and when she put down the cup, she opened her mouth, “How did you meet Jamie?”
“My brother was ill, e showed him to him, and we have known each other for a long time.” Carla answered truthfully.
“Oh, how long have you been together?” She looked at her up and down while speaking, “I think you are not very old. Is Jamie your first love?”
Carla was in the mist with questions one by one, she thought she was with Jamie?
Carla suddenly remembered that on the day of the banquet, when Jamie introduced her identity to others, she was the ‘girlfriend’, so she had this question.
Carla just wanted to explain, Maxine spoke again, “I don’t want you to be together.”
She looked serious, “I hope his wife has a family background that is right for him. I heard that a lot of things have happened in your family now.”
Carla pressed her lips tightly, and finally understood her purpose of looking for her.
“Given the current situation of your family, I can’t accept you even more. Would you understand?”
Maxine softened her tone, took out a card from her bag, and slid it from the table to Carla, “There are some here. Although money can’t help you tide over your family’s difficulties, it can at least guarantee your life.”
Carla pushed the card back and smiled, “Auntie, I have hands and feet, how can I ask for your money.”
Is this to send her money?
She smiled bitterly in her heart and was sent away by Shawn at the age of ten. She was able to come back because Ryan was ‘limped’ and she had the chance to come back.
She has never enjoyed the scenery given by the Lane Family, but now she has to bear the impact of the Lane Family’s defeat.
“I understand what auntie meant. I won’t be with him. I always treat him as an older brother. If it’s okay, I’ll go back first, I have to go to work.” Then she stood up.
“Wait a minute.” Maxine yelled to her. She had thought of a lot of words, but those words were only when Carla disagreed, but she was so easy to talk, it seemed that she was mean.
“I don’t know if Jamie ever told you that his sister’s matter, that incident hit him a lot. He has been abroad for these years, and now he is willing to come back and face the past. I am very pleased, you just said that you treat him as your brother. I think he may have other feelings for you. Maybe you are too cute and he treats you as Diane.”
Carla thought about it after she learned that Jamie had a lost sister.
When he was in country A, he took care of her, did he treat her as a younger sister?
Maxine talked about her lost daughter with a sad expression. She gave birth to three children in her life, and her only daughter was lost.
But as the elder of her family, she can’t stay stuck in the past, can’t be sad in front of her husband, and she needs to take care of everything in the family.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.
She enjoyed the status and status given to her by the Gill family, and naturally paid something.
“I also want my son to be with the woman I like, but he was born into this family and enjoyed the glory and food and clothing that the family has given him, and he has to make sacrifices for this.”
Maxine took the card back. Handed over a business card, “You are so easy to talk, and I am not a mean person. If you need my help in the future, you can come to me.”
It was impolite to refuse all the time, Carla accepted it, “Thank you, auntie.”
Carla stood up, “It’s okay, then I’ll go first.”
“Well, I want us to meet, don’t tell Jamie, his stubborn temperament, if he knows about it, I’m afraid…”
“Auntie, don’t worry, I won’t tell him.” She didn’t think much about Jamie. People like her are not worthy of being with anyone.
For whatever reason, she is not a pure woman.
How qualified to talk about feelings.
Walking out of the cafe, she stretched out her hand to cover her lower abdomen, “With you, your mother is no longer alone and helpless.”
This child is her courage and her future.
She took a deep breath and walked away.
She walked back to the company along the road, just in time for Ramiro to return from the outside.
“Where have you been?” Ramiro closed the car door and walked towards her. “Didn’t you say that you went to the hospital? Why didn’t I find you when I went to the hospital?”
Before she went to the hospital, she told Ryan, after all, she went to work and was not free.
“I came back early, met someone, and had a few words, what’s the matter?” Ramiro looked anxious.
Did something happen?
“Come in first.” Ramiro walked into the hall quickly, Carla followed his footsteps, feeling a little uneasy, “What happened, does it have anything to do with me?”
Ramiro stood at the elevator door, pressed the ↑ key several times, and took a look at her.
“Watch it for yourself.”
Carla opened her mouth, what does he mean to see for herself?
She just wanted to ask, and the elevator door to open. Ramiro walked in first. Carla felt uneasy and moved a little slower. Ramiro urged her, “Hurry up.”
She walked in.
“It has to do with my dad?” Carla tried to ask without giving up.
