Chapter 372.2 Repay for Him II
Imogen didn’t take Irene’s words seriously. If she really wanted to take Imogen back to the Harrington Villa, wouldn’t it be possible now, even if it wasn’t possible back then? Why would she wait for more than twenty years and come to acknowledge her because of Ivette?
Imogen still vividly remembered Irene’s attitude in the hospital.
Imogen turned to look at Irene and said, “If you hadn’t come to me to force me to forgive Murphy, I might have understood you.”
Irene remained indifferent. “Imogen, whether you resent me or hate me, I must do this for Ivette. In fact, I didn’t plan to give birth to you in the first place. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so difficult for me and Walter. If you forgive Murphy, consider it as repaying the favor of carrying you for ten months. What I’m owed by Bill, you can repay for him as well.”
Imogen didn’t expect Irene to say such things so boldly.
“I can tell you clearly, it’s impossible. To give birth and not raise is worse than not giving birth at all. This is not a favor but a grudge.”
“Imogen, you’re emotional right now, and you’re prone to making the wrong choice. You should go back and think about it carefully.” After a pause, Irene added, “I heard that last time the members of the Dodd family came, it was Troy who helped you resolve the matter. If the Harrington family intervenes this time, will you still let Troy help you? What are his chances against the Harrington and Dodd families? Will he continue to tirelessly resolve these troubles?”
The weather in April was gradually warming up, but it was still cold at night, with a chill in the
air.
After leaving the restaurant, Imogen adjusted her coat and descended a flight of steps, gazing ahead absentmindedly, motionless.
The driver parked the car on the roadside. He thought that Imogen hadn’t seen where the car was and turned on the hazard lights.
Still, Imogen didn’t come over, and the driver lowered the window and called out. “Ms. Forbes, why aren’t you getting in the car?”
Imogen snapped back to reality and walked slowly towards the car. She opened the door and got in, her voice slightly hoarse, saying, “Go… to the riverside.”
The driver paused for a moment, glancing at Imogen through the rearview mirror. He noticed her reddened eyes
and hesitated before speaking. “Ms. Forbes, the riverside is quite cold now… Is there something that’s making you sad?”
Seeing that Imogen didn’t speak, the driver didn’t say anything more.
The dim streetlights illuminated Imogen’s face through the car window, flickering on and off. She leaned back in her seat, looking out at the street scene, wearing a desolate expression on her face. She felt heavy without wanting to speak, and it was like a large stone was pressing down on
her.
The rumors and gossip from her childhood in the village flashed back in her memory time and time again.
It turned out that what they said was true. She was not her father’s child but was a despised illegitimate child.
A bitter taste surged in Imogen’s throat, followed by a stinging pain in her nose, causing tears to

well up.
The sharp sound of a car horn, the deafening crash, the entire front of the car collapsing, and the roaring flames emerged in her head.
The lights reflected in Imogen’s eyes. She recalled the roaring flames in the car accident, the one that caused her father’s death.
Her father loved her very much, but she wasn’t his daughter.
If it weren’t for her, her father wouldn’t have died.
She thought she shouldn’t exist in this world.
Imogen bit her lower lip, suppressing the inner pain, desperately trying to look up but still unable to stop the tears from falling.
If her father knew she wasn’t his daughter, he would surely be very sad.
The sweet memories with her father flashed in her mind, and Imogen’s heart bore a tremendous pain, which made her struggle to catch her breath.
She didn’t understand why it would be like this.
Her body slowly slid down in her seat.
The driver took a glance at Imogen through the rearview mirror and was shocked. “Ms. Forbes, what’s wrong with you?”
