Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister

Chapter 288 The Decision Back Then

Helena could not blame Laura since she believed that it was what she did that led to such a result, so it

was reasonable and forgivable that Laura would treat her badly—after all, she was only a maid of the

Hutchinson.

At the thought that Laura did not even want to see her, Helena burst out of greater tears. Although

Laura had promised her to dine in her house, she was still not sure whether Laura would actually come

or not. She wondered whether she could see her again for the rest of her life.

She was longing to sit Laura's wedding ceremony, take care of her when she was pregnant and make

sure that her could live a happy life. Yet, it might be impossible for her to realize these dreams.

"Mom, where have you been today? I could find you nowhere," Clara ventured without apparent

anxiety. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

At Clara's question, Helena immediately turned around and secretly wiped her tears. Then, she turned

back to face Clara, smiling, and said, "I find it boring here so I took a casual walk."

Instead of nailing Helena's lie, Clara looked her in her eyes and asked, "Mom, why did you cry just

now?"

"I didn't," Helena nervously lowered down her head and slightly rubbed her eyes, "Well, there was dust

in my eyes. I didn't cry. What should I cry for?" Helena squeezed a smile which, according to Clara,

was more than bizarre and reluctant.

Suppressing the jealousy, Clara walked over and took Helena's hands, "Mom, can you tell me where

your biological daughter is? If untreated, your illness can become severe and dangerous."

Recently, Clara had been always talking about the disease and the biological daughter, which infuriated

Helena, so she flung Clara's hands away and cried loudly, "Don't ask me those questions anymore. I

won't tell you. I don't want any treatment now! I will take care of myself and it is none of your business."

Helena's response greatly upset Clara. How could Helena scold her like that when she cared so much

about her health and treated her as her biological mother?

Yet, no matter how badly and contemptuously Laura Hutchinson had treated Helena that day outside

Hutchinson's villa, she still smiled and spoke gently. Clara wondered whether it was only because she

was not Helena's biological daughter that she had been treated in such a bad way.

Jealousy erupting, Clara burst out in tears. She asked, "Mom, you went to visit the Hutchinson's today,

didn't you? Laura Hutchinson is your daughter, right?"

"Nonsense!" In a panic, Helena shouted, "I didn't! Laura is not my daughter! Stop imagining things!"

Although Helena shouted angrily, she did not even dare to look at Clara. Helena's evasive expression

further convinced Clara that Laura was her biological daughter.

"Mom, please tell me the truth. I saw you talking with Laura today in front of the Hutchinson's villa."

"You followed me?" Helena finally looked Clara in her eyes, anger overflowing from her tone and

expression.

Helena's suspicion upset Clara more greatly. She retorted, "I didn't. I was anxious when I couldn't find

you. Then, I remembered that there is a GPS on your phone, so I tried to locate you through that

system. When I arrived at Hutchinson's villa, I saw you talking with Laura."

At Clara's explanation, Helena relaxed her facial expression and said, "I know I'll die soon, so I just

wanted to say goodbye to Laura," after a pause, Helena continued, "And Logan. I lied to you because I

don't want you to worried me. Don't overthink."

Even now when Clara had already nailed Helena's lie, Helena still did not want to tell the truth, which

made Clara cry much harder, "Mom, I asked Logan this afternoon and he told everything about how

Laura was kidnapped when she was just born. How did you save her? Why did you work as a maid for

the Hutchinson family?"

"Did Logan really tell you everything?" Helena asked, tears blurring her vision—maybe she could not

keep the secret any longer.

"Yes," Clara nodded heavily. She held Helena's hands again and said, "Mom, please tell me the truth.

What happened? Is Laura really your daughter?"

Clara's tears made Helena feel sorry since, although Laura was not her biological daughter, she was

the one who brought Clara up, so she must be deeply touched when Clara cried and begged her to tell

the truth.

"Clara, I don't know how to tell you the truth. I am so sorry."

"Mom, please tell me the truth. Who am I? You can't keep it as a secret all your life," Clara further

questioned when she realized that Helena was ready to tell her.

Indeed, Helena felt sorry. Had it not been for her decision, Clara must have lived a wealthy and happy

life and would never have been troubled by poverty and hardship.

It was her who destroyed Clara's original life and she now wondered whether she should keep her in

the dark any longer. It was not fair to Clara.

"Clara, it is all my fault! I've been lying to you for so many years! I am so sorry." To be honest, after all

these years, she had already been deeply connected to Clara and her love for this adopted daughter

also became profound. Helena pulled Clara into her arms and cried out, "Clara, please forgive me!"

"Mom," Clara also offered her hug, "It is you who brought me up and I will blame you for nothing.

Please tell me the truth."

"Fine, I'll tell you the truth now. I'll tell you everything," a twinge of guilt overflowing from Helena's eyes,

she wiped her tears and began her narration.

After Helena gave birth to her baby, she took a month's rest in a rented house because she was poor at

that time.

One day, when Helena went out to dispose trash, she heard a baby crying. Then, she found a baby

beside the trashcan as she followed the sound.

"Whose baby is that? Why are you here, my sweetie?" Helena picked up that baby in a hurry.

It was cold in the morning and the baby was nearly frozen. Helena, as a mother, felt so sorry for the

baby. She cursed the one who left the baby alone secretly.

She held the baby for a long while, waiting for someone to take the baby back, but no one came. Then

she asked all her neighbors whether they knew anything about the baby. Yet, she got no answer.

Therefore, she had no other choice but to take the baby back to her home.
