Trapped with a Lawyer

Chapter 212 I'm Back

Anna, Judith and Ella were stumped by what Jane said.

Anna always knew that Eason loved her very much, especially after she became pregnant. He never

said no to her no matter what Anna asked for. However, when she got to know about what happened

between him and Judith, she felt very sad, and also touched.

She fought back tears, and held Jane in her arms. Although Jane was only 3 years old, she could tell

that her uncle Eason loved her aunt very much, and Judith's arrival made her aunt very unhappy.

Ella was also speechless because of what Jane said. She was capable of understanding and

expressing all these feelings even though she was so little. But she was only 3 years old. How could

she understand the situation in such a short time?

However, Ella was proud of her clever and sensible little girl.

Judith looked pale and tired. There was no doubt that Eason loved Anna very much, as even the little

girl could tell from being around the couple.

"Where does he work? I can go there." Judith said to Ella. She had an inkling that Anna would not tell

her, so she asked Ella directly.

Ella felt she was in an awkward position. She glanced at Anna who smiled tentatively, and addressed

her servant, "Aunt Zhang, could you bring me my phone please?"

Her phone was on the dining-table and in no time, Anna had it in her hand.

Ella and Judith looked at Anna at the same time, doubtfully. Anna, then, called her husband Eason.

Eason was modifying a blueprint when he saw the incoming call from his wife. He pushed the green

button gently and said, "Do you miss me babe?"

Anna didn't know what to say for the first time after hearing Eason's sweet voice. She was wondering if

he still address her that way, when he heard the name Judith.

"Babe. Someone wants to meet you. She is at our house now."

"Wants to meet me? What's her name?" Why was there an unknown woman going to his house to see

him? Eason stopped what he was doing, sensing that this woman was not the usual past flings that

came looking for him.

Anna looked at Judith, who was fully expecting the answer from the other end of the line, and said,

"Judith."

Eason's mind went totally blank after he heard the name.

'Judith'. He had not heard that name for many years.

The silence from the other end made Anna panic. What kind of expression would he have when he

heard the name? Why didn't he say something?

"What are you talking about, babe? How do you know about her?" Very few people knew about her.

Had Ella told her?

"I'm not kidding. She's sitting right in front of me."

"No. No way. But she..." She had disappeared over ten years ago. "Don't get jealous, babe. She may

not be alive." Eason answered Anna nervously. He had not mentioned this name to anyone for more

than 10 years.

The airplane crashed and everyone onboard had died.

He had given up on finding her many years ago.

"No. She is alive. Eason, she's here and sitting in front of me right now."

Anna looked at Judith while she talked to Eason. Judith had been crying since she got here. She could

tell that Judith really loved Eason, very much. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

"What are you talking about?" His voice sounded slightly strange. Anna smiled bitterly without anyone

noticing.

She thought that they loved each other very much, no one could break them apart.

But it seemed that she could be wrong.

"It's real. Judith is sitting in front of me, right now." She tried to sound calm, and repeated herself just so

Eason would believe it..

"How? It's not possible." Eason murmured. Anna became more and more sad when they kept talking

about Judith.

She handed the phone to Judith, who was shivering. Judith got up from the couch and wanted to take

the phone, but she was too excited that she could hardly stand and ended up falling back on the couch.

Anna had to bring it to her instead.

Judith took the phone and said his name, "Eason..."

Her voice hit him like a thunderbolt.

After sobbing hysterically, Judith took tissue from Ella, wiped away her tears and said again, "Eason,

I'm back."

Anna held Jane very tightly. What if Eason still loved Judith? What would she do?

"Wait." Eason only said one word and hung up the phone.

Ella took Jane to sleep, and when she came back down the stairs, Eason opened the door.

She was standing on the stairs, with a full view of what was going to happen.

Eason and Judith had been apart from each other for very long time. When they looked at each other,

their emotions weighed on them and they became speechless.

Two minutes later, Judith ran into his arms. "Eason!"

Eason held her tight, even the veins on his shoulders stood out.

Anna sat on the coach and witnessed their interaction. Only she could understand the pain in her heart.

"Eason! I'm back! I'm back!" Judith was so thrilled that she did not know what to do. The only thought in

her mind was keeping Eason in her arms for as long as she could. She hadn't stopped thinking about

him for so many years.

Eason was not so sure what he was thinking, as he wasn't as thrilled and happy as expected.

He glanced at the woman on the couch accidentally, and retreated from Judith.

"It's wonderful that you are back." He just gave Judith a simple response, which was unlike the way

someone would respond to a long-separated lover.

Judith's heart sunk with disappointment. She stared at Eason who gazed at Anna intently.

Had circumstances changed with the passage of time, including one's heart?

Seconds later, Eason proceeded to sit on the couch next to Anna. He put his arms around her and held

her fist with his hand.

Held in Eason's arms, Anna started to calm down slowly.

"Judith, I'm very glad that you are back. But as you can see, I have my own family now. I have a wife

and a child. You and I... are over." Even Eason had no idea that he would say something like that

calmly when he met Judith, the woman he had loved and searched for many years.

Judith went deathly pale again. The hope in her heart for many years fell through, but what could she

say?

"Eason, are you sure that you don't love me anymore?" She could not give up so eailyy and wanted to

confirm with him again.

"Yes. I love Anna, and only Anna. I'm sorry Judith." 'Judith, we did nothing wrong, fate did, ' Eason

thought.

Judith came back after he fell in love with Anna. So, it was too late.

Judith could not remember how she left the house. She looked around and felt lost.

Who was she? Where could she go? Everything was different after 10 years.

She looked at the bridge which was not far away, and soon after found herself walking on it.

The current of the river under the bridge was flowing fast. There was a sign on the wall that read,

"Deep waters. Please do not swim."

She had lost her father, her mother, and now Eason. There was nothing in the world that she could live

for.

She climbed the rail, leaped forward and threw herself into the water. She chose to end her life when

she was only 33 years old.

A stranger found her floating in the water. She was dead.

Judith's appearance was a flash in the pan. Eason regarded it as a dream. He had not tried to reach

her, or look for her after he saw her that day.
