Sally could not hold in her tears anymore. Her tears streamed down her cheeks.
She quickly wiped off her tears and said, “They’re our mom and dad, not just mine! They had hoped to see you getting married and having a child. They had always wanted to care for and dot on their grandchild! How can you just up and leave them like this?!”
If it were not for that wicked Esme, her good brother would not have lost his mind like this! She was not convinced that Esme would really behave herself. There was no way she would marry Peter and give birth to his child!
“Sally, I’ve made the best compromise I could. Why can’t you understand?” Peter said in anguish. He felt that he had no right to face his little sister anymore.
Sally said sarcastically, “Understand? Understand what? Understand why you’d leave your dearest family for true love? Peter, I could not shed that thought from my head in the past three days… That if no one came to save me that day, my life would be completely ruined! If that ever happened, what’d you do?”
Peter said without hesitation, “I’ll make her pay for what she did!”
“Really? Heh, I don’t think so. You’re already poisoned by her charm. You don’t care about your family anymore!” Sally kept on chiding him sarcastically.
Peter retorted as tears welled up in his reddened eyes, “No! You, Mom, and Dad will always be in my thoughts no matter where I go.”
“If you really do care about Mom and Dad, then you would not hurt their feelings like this! You would never hurt me by trying to confine me at home like that! You’re so selfish, Pete! If I take care of Mom
and Dad, I hope it’d be a choice I make, not a choice I’m forced to make! I’d like to have a husband who’d allow me to take care of our parents because I choose to! Not because of you abandoning them!”
Sally purposely said this to provoke Peter. She had to. In order to make her brother stay, Sally had no choice but to say these hurtful words!
If Peter had found a wife in a good woman, she would not stop them from living abroad. She would be willing to take up the mantle to take care of their parents. However, she would never do that for Esme Manning!
Peter stared at Sally in surprise. “You think our parents are a burden to you?”
“Yes! Why are you allowed to abandon them?! I’m a woman, not a man! I’ll have to marry the man that I love and leave the Hall’s household. I can’t possibly be tied to this home forever!” Sally yelled at him.
Peter was so pissed that his mouth began to twitch as he spoke. “Then I’d like to extend my apology, dear sister! Don’t worry. I’ll find a way to take care of Mom and Dad. You don’t have to feel burdened by it!”
“You better keep your word then!” Sally shot Peter a final glare before storming out of the study.
Peter was so furious seeing Sally like this. He could not stop thinking… His sister was never like that. It was all Fia Lawson’s fault! Yes, it had to be! Fia must have brainwashed his little
sister! If it were not for her, Sally would never act so insolently!
Perhaps it was time for him to take action. He needed to give the Parkers a fatal blow before leaving Fortuna with Esme!
And Sally was right. He should not have to rely solely on this little sister to take care of his parents. He had the money and resources to find a good old folks’ home for his.
parents. Maybe after spending a few years abroad with Esme and their baby, she would cool down for the sake of their child. Then, he would be able to bring his parents over to their new home. Seeing that Sally had come downstairs, Mrs. Hall anxiously asked how their talk went. Sally soothed her mother for a moment before leaving, saying that she had work at the hospital. After driving away from home, she pulled to the side of the road and gave Fia a phone call. Worrying for Sally, Fia did not sleep well in the past three days. Still, she did not dare to contact Sally, fearing that it would worsen her trauma. So she had been pestering Conrad to instruct the hospital’s director to keep an eye on Sally.
Although the director said Sally was recovering well, Fia could not help but to still feel concerned for her. She was worried that Sally would, like her, develop a mental disorder.
“Hello? Sally?” So Fia was overjoyed to receive Sally’s phone call.
Hearing Fia’s chirpy sigh of relief, a smile appeared on Sally’s face.
“Fia, I’m calling to inform you that I’m about to meet the expert in massage to be under the master’s short-term tutelage. Now, you be good and stay at home. Don’t leave the house and don’t meet any strangers when I’m away, okay?”
