Chapter 137 Take Action

A sneer sounded in Avery's ear, "It is said that Jacob is devoted and unchanging, but no one ever

mentioned his ex-wife."

Avery clenched her fingers tightly, her face filled with sadness. "In his eyes, I'm just a disposable

plaything. Naturally, he wouldn't let anyone know about my existence. Last night was the anniversary of

my premature son's death. I secretly boarded the ship intending to take Ethan away, but I didn't expect

you all to beat me to it."

"Your own son died; why did you try to steal someone else's child?" the man asked.

Avery spoke word by word, her face full of grief. "To have his son accompany mine in death! Do you

know what kind of life I've lived this past year? I couldn't sleep at night. Every time I closed my eyes, I

could see myself lying on the operating table. I..."

As she became emotional, Avery burst into tears. Her tears fell onto the cold blade and dripped onto

the back of the man's hand.

The man moved the blade away. "Why are you crying? I haven't done anything to you!"

Avery let out her grievances, regardless of who the man was. She loudly denounced Jacob's

despicable behavior.

Outside the door.

Carl held a stalk of catnip in his mouth, looking mischievous as he whispered to Randy beside him,

"Hey, do you think the boss has taken a liking to that woman? He actually guarded her all night."

"Nonsense, do you think Frank has never seen a woman before? I think he must find her suspicious

and was afraid she would escape. That's why he guarded her all night."

"If she was suspicious, we could have fed her to the fishes last night. Besides, even if she comes back,

we can just tie her up with a rope. Does he really need to stay awake all night? He must have fallen in

love at first sight with her. To be honest, I've never seen such a beautiful girl before."

"That woman should be awake now. Let's go and see. The boss is probably interrogating her cruelly.

Just don't end up killing her."

The two of them removed their masks and pushed the door open, but what they saw left them

dumbfounded.

Their usually imposing boss was now standing helplessly at the bedside, trying to comfort the crying

woman. "The dead cannot be brought back to life. Your tears won't change anything."

And the woman who cried uncontrollably not only wiped her tears on his coat sleeves but also blew her

nose onto them.

"Jacob is a bastard, right?"

"Yes, a bastard. A complete scoundrel."

"Why am I suffering so much? Wah..."

Although her crying seemed a bit exaggerated, it looked miserable against the backdrop. In contrast,

their usually imposing boss even seemed helpless, holding a claw knife in his hand.

Seeing Carl and Randy standing by the door, the boss's expression changed instantly. In a cold tone,

he said, "Come over here and comfort her."

Carl had a blank look. "Boss, do you want us to comfort the woman you made cry?"

Randy tried to be more gentle. He fumbled in his pocket for a while and took out a small grass-made

rabbit, placing it in front of Avery. "Here, stop crying. If you don't cry, you can play with this bunny."

Carl patted him on the head. "Who do you think she is, a child that needs comforting?"

Avery saw two boys, about twelve or thirteen years old, standing in front of her. Their masks couldn't NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

hide their foolish expressions.

Just a moment ago, the man holding the gun was cold and distant, but the next moment, he was

comforting her. No matter how she looked at them, they seemed like nice people.

Did they really take Ethan away? For what purpose?

Avery wiped her tears and looked at the man standing by the bed with teary eyes.

He was very tall, and his face was covered by a half-section mask, and his mood could only be judged

by his thin lips.

She tentatively asked, "That child took the life of my child. I hate him to the core. Can you give the child

to me?"
