302 A Bomb Was Dropped (1/2)
Sheila went to sit beside her son and held his hand as she narrated what had happened many years ago….
....
Sheila was studying at college when she had to quit her studies and help her parents. Her father had just gotten laid off from work, and her mother was sick and had to be hospitalized. Her uncle had managed to get her a position at the Liu's ancestral mansion as an assistant cook.
Everything began the moment she stepped foot there…
Charles, the eldest son of the Liu's, fell in love with her at first sight. He was kind and gentle, and he was not the kind who put importance on one's background. He didn't care about the big gap in their social class. Sheila reciprocated his feelings, and they became lovers.
Meanwhile, Thom, the younger brother, had also fallen in love with Sheila. But when he realized his brother and Sheila's relationship, he chose to hide his own feelings and wish them both the best.
Charles and Sheila decided to keep their relationship hidden from others because Charles knew that his mother wouldn't approve of it. But somehow, Old Madam Liu found out about it, and tried to separate them by offering Sheila all kinds of bribery in exchange with her leaving Charles.
Sheila refused to accept all of her offers. In return, Old Madam Liu did all kinds of things to make sure Sheila's family would suffer the consequences of her refusal.
Upon finding out what his mother had been doing, Charles made a choice to leave his family for Sheila. They eloped and remained hidden for years, away from Old Madam Liu's constant chasing…
The two had a happy life for quite some time until Old Madam Liu tracked their location. They had to run away once more, and by this time, Sheila was already pregnant with Zach.
They were involved in a car chase with Old Madam Liu's men. Their car was trailed closely. Charles tried to evade the cars that were pursuing them until he saw a construction work in front of him. But it was too late. He was not able to swerve their vehicle, which resulted in a frontal collision that had cost him his life.
It was true that the two of them had been pronounced dead on arrival, but a miracle happened, and Sheila came back to life. She grabbed the arm of the nurse beside her, who was already in the middle of preparing to transfer her body to the morgue.
Upon knowing that Charles hadn't survived the accident, Sheila wailed uncontrollably and begged the nurse to help her hide the fact that she was still alive.
...….
”Jonathan, your father, was that nurse. He took pity on me, and he helped transfer me to another hospital, while arranging an unclaimed body to replace mine. I knew Old Madam Liu would have not bothered to check on my remains. And true enough, she didn't. She just instructed her people to have me cremated, and because of that, everything went smoothly,” Sheila explained and started to sob again.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
”I lived with your father, and I eventually contacted my parents to inform them that I was okay, only after everything cooled down. I was pregnant with you, and I knew Old Madam Liu would have taken you away from me. So I did all I could to keep you with me by hiding your existence from her,” Sheila continued explaining.
Jonathan Lim was a great father to Zach, and she was grateful that Zach got to experience the love of a father from him, even though he was not his biological father.
