Sara had a dream this night.
She dreamed of the Five-flavored Plum Tree in the courtyard of Family. It should be the season of the Five-flavored Plum Tree. Strips of red fruits were hung on the book. From a distance, it looked like a small and pleasant lantern.
At that time, she was only five or six years old. She stretched out her little fat hands and wanted to pick one for fun, but she was too short. It was really not enough. She stood under the tree and cried alone. At this time, someone picked her up and said with a smile between her eyebrows, "Pick it as much as you want."
Sara woke up when her dream came to an end.
She propped herself up on her forehead and found it hard to believe what she had just seen.
The first half of her dream was true. She had burst into tears under the tree, but her grandparents were all in the hospital at that time, and no one would hold her up to pick fruit, so she could only cry.
But in her dream, someone picked her up and let her take as many as she wanted. That person was... Hank.
Sara couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile. Even though her mind was still in a mess, her heart was still full of sweetness.
She moved, got up from the bed, washed up, and went downstairs. Hank was waiting for her to have breakfast.
Sara told him that she wanted to go to the police station and pick up a friend at the airport, so she went out with her schoolbag.
After class in the morning, Sara took the afternoon leave and went to the police station to see Yen.
Compared with the hoarse voice on the phone, Yen himself was much more haggard, and his clothes were also wrinkled. He looked a bit like a beggar under the bridge. William didn't know how to clean up his own father's decent outfit.
Yen glanced at Sara, and the first sentence was, "I know you have the ability now. William is not your opponent, so I tell you this matter on the premise that you are not allowed to do anything to William."
Sara said with no expression, "You mean that I can't fight back when she stabbed me with a knife? Then we don't have to talk about it, Miss Martin."
She was about to stand up and leave when Yen shouted angrily, "That's not what I meant!"
Sara calmly looked at him and said, "Do you think you are still the same as before? You can yell at me as you please."
"I..." Yen coughed and gritted his teeth. "You guarantee that you will not take the initiative to touch William."
"Okay, I promise." Sara responded very quickly. Seeing the look of distrust in Yen's eyes, Sara smiled. "Don't worry, I won't go back on my word. Furthermore, right now, you don't have any other bargaining chip to use to negotiate with me."
"You..." Yen covered his chest. It seemed that he had not rested well for even a few days. His eyes were red and bloodshot. He looked a little terrible.
He stared at Sara for a while and said, "In those days, Caroline came back from abroad and went to some other places. Finally, she stayed in the capital. I met with her as an old schoolmate in the early years. We met by accident in an academic integrity. She is... my first love."
At that time, Caroline was so dazzling that it seemed that the whole sky could not contain her. She was smart, excellent, and beautiful. She was a genius in everyone's mouth. There was no boy in the school who didn't like her. Even if she was a girl, it was rare to see her as an enemy.
Yen felt that it was not surprising at all that he would fall in love with such a woman.
But among Caroline's so many pursuers, he was too ordinary. He was so ordinary that he couldn't even compare with the dust.
His family background was average, his grades were ordinary, and his looks weren't all that outstanding either. No matter how you looked at it, he had nothing to do with Caroline.
So later, he took over the family business, married Lilly, and had children. He wanted to live a peaceful life, but when Lilly was pregnant, Caroline returned home. She called him and made a shocking deal with him.
Your mother was pregnant when she returned to America ." Yen stared coldly at Sara. "So, you're not my daughter at all."
"Wh-what?" Sara's eyes widened. She never thought that she would hear such a piece of news. "I'm not your daughter!?"
Yen sneered. "Yes, why do you hate me for being against you?! You're not my child!" His tone was resentful. He didn't know if he was hating his first love for having another man's child, or hating Sara for making him fall into such a situation.
He almost gritted his teeth and said, "She asked if I am married. I said no for some unknown reason. She said that if I marry her, she would invest 80 million Dollar in the company to repair the broken capital chain. This deal is really too tempting..."
As he spoke, he felt like he was in a trance. It was as if he had returned to the day eighteen years ago.
He remembered that Caroline wore an empty long dress with long hair hanging down. She should have been in her prime at the age of 20, but there was a sorrow in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows that could not be gotten rid of. When she faced him, she always showed a little smile. "... I know you must be confused about why, but sorry, I can't tell you that my child needs a father. When she is born, we will complete the divorce procedure, okay?"
She was the woman he had been missing as crazy as a madman in his youth.
Even if it was just a transaction, he was still willing to accept it. He really wanted to have this woman.
So that year, Yen made the boldest decision in his life..
Lilly was pregnant and her wrist was vicious, so he didn't dare to mention divorce at all. Therefore, he could only deceive Caroline, who would finish the marriage formalities, and then asked someone to forge a certificate. Caroline had no doubt about it.
During that period of time, Yen was very happy. Even if Caroline was carrying another person's child, he felt very satisfied when he could see her from time to time, as if he had finally realized the dream of his youth.
He began to be greedy. He didn't want to only have a business relationship with Caroline. He wanted to possess her forever, so he began to plan the divorce with Lilly. Unfortunately, Lilly was too smart. She had noticed that he was not right a long time ago. She didn't show it on her face, but secretly made a bowl of abortion medicine for Caroline.
Caroline hated Lilly and felt sorry for her, so she did not tell anyone about it. She just moved quickly to live with her father, dragging her daughter, who was sick to take care of premature birth.
Yen wanted to see her several times, but she was refused.
Until a few days before Caroline committed suicide, he suddenly asked him to meet her in a cafe. He was very nervous and excited at that time, but after ten years, Caroline was still as beautiful as before. Her affection for him had been gone, and she seemed to be a stranger to him for the first time.
antha choked with sobs. "You're too bad! I won't talk to you anymore! Sob sob..."
Hank was really angry. He patted her on the back and said, "All right, all right. I'm just joking. I'm not your friend. We're friends. As for orange juice... I bought milk tea for you last night. You ran out to drink by yourself."
