Chapter 57
Before Edwin could respond, Jasmine said anxiously, “Yes, I was the one who sent you away back then” As she spoke too quickly, she had no choice but to lower her head to catch her breath. “I know that it was indeed wrong to do that, but your eyes were not good at that time. I just wanted to find a quiet place for you to recuperase.”
Edwin did not even respond this time. He only raised his head slightly and showed a mocking smile.
He did not say a single word, but it hurt Jasmine even more than if he had said harsh words.
Standing in front of him, she was ashamed.
“After I sent you away, I even I can understand if you’re upset about it, but can’t you understand my situation? 1 had no choice back then. If there was even the slightest possibility, I wouldn’t have… Jasmine defended herself carefully with a hint of pity.
Edwin had treated her indifferently all these years, but he had never mistreated her.
However, she could not sense the sense of superiority as a mother from him.
Jasmine didn’t like it and had always wanted to find an opportunity to defend herself, but she was too embarrassed to mention it.
Now that she h
had spoken, she wanted to defend herself to the end so that Edwin could understand.
The next moment, she said self–righteously and loudly. “You can’t blame me for what 1 did back then. Your father just passed away, and you couldn’t see at all. The doctor said that there was no possibility of recovery. In addition, you used to be so agitated and throw things.. I had way to communicate with you normally.
“Your grandfather couldn’t be handled by others, so I could only I had no choice but to adopt a son. In the end, it was all for your sake.
“If you were
right”
were really blind for the rest of your life, at least he would be in charge of the family business. You wouldn’t be poor for the rest of your life,
Edwin had always been taciturn. Even if he was dissatisfied with Jasmine, he had never complained to her.
But Jasmine’s words were too shameless.
He showed more mockery with his smile and said, “You sound guilty. What do you expect me to do?”
Whoosh!
Jasmine’s hand trembled and the book in her hand fell to the floor.
After being exposed so bluntly, she was so embarrassed that her face turned red. She kept blinking, and her lips trembled uncontrollably.
She stretched out her fingers, wanting to hold something, but because her hands were trembling too much, she couldn’t hold anything.
Instead, she knocked over a glass.
The glass fell to the floor and shattered.
Edwin finally turned around and looked at the woman in front of him.
All these years, he did not blame Jasmine for adopting an adopted son to inherit the family business.
Edwin didn’t blame her for settling him in such a remote mountainous area.
However, after she sent Edwin to Pinevale, she had never visited him.
Even an unfamiliar young lady took pity on Edwin and was willing to spend time persuading him to control his temper and encourage him to start
over.
However, as his biological mother, Jasmine completely ignored him.
– Jasmine didn’t settle him but abandoned him.
Obviously, Jasmine did not understand.
Disappointment appeared in his eyes as Edwin took another step forward.
Jasmine suddenly pushed down a chair.
The chair hit the floor with a loud bang.
As a mother, she didn’t allow her dignity to be trampled on. She could not control her anger and shouted at Edwin’s back, “Why would I feel guilty! I don’t feel guilty at all!
In order to show off her aura, she shouted at the top of her lungs, “On the other hand, if you hadn’t made a fuss and asked your father to send you back then, why would he be in a car accident? Why would our family encounter so much trouble? Have you forgotten! Your father wouldn’t have died. He injured his brain to protect you!”
Jasmine slammed the table heavily and continued, “You made such a huge mistake. What’s wrong with suffering a bit! Besides, didn’t I treat your eyes and make you the successor of the Stanley family again? You didn’t lose anything at all!”
This time, no matter what she said. Edwin did not stop.
His figure disappeared at the end of the stairs.
On the other hand, Jasmine collapsed on the sofa after scolding him. She could not move anymore.
She bent down and covered her face.
Even if Edwin did not refute a word, she knew in her heart that her husband was Edwin’s father.
As a father, it was his human instinct to block the danger for his son. Edwin couldn’t be blamed
It was only because she could not absolve herself of her absurdity that she blamed Edwin,
That was why Jasmine pushed all the blame on him.
Edwin returned to his room and rubbed the space between his eyebrows.
He laid himself down on the sofa in the bedroom and let all his strength leave him,
After a while, he picked up his phone and sent a message to Tilda: [Good night.]
When Edwin came back from showering, he realized that there were two missed calls on his phone.
One was from Tida.
One was from May.
May was his assistant and would not call him at this hour unless it was something important
Edwin pressed the button and dialed her number.
“Mr. Stanley. On the other end, May’s voice was clear, I’ve checked what you asked me to check
“Speak” Edwin rubbed the bridge of his nose, but he was energized by her words.
May said, “I found the hospital that changed your cornea and found the donor’s information through some means.
She took a deep breath and continued, “However, the other party did not leave their name, age, or place of origin. I specially asked the person who took over this matter at that time and even asked about the situation.
“They said that the person who came to them was a young lady who looked to be 15 or 16 years old. Everyone thought that she was donating after death, so they tested the relevant data for her and found that her blood type was very compatible with yours. They could transplant her cornes to
you.
“The girl offered to remove the corneas alive for you, but that was clearly against the law and hospital regulations. No one was willing to operate on her.
When Edwin heard these words, he felt touched and stunned. He could not help but ask, “It’s been ten years since these things happened. Can those people still remember them!”
May said, “Although ten years have passed, this matter was too abnormal at that time. If a teenage girl wanted to remove her cornea alive, it would be big news. Moreover, the girl was quite persistent. She kept asking the attending doctor for a few weeks. Who wouldn’t remember? What’s even more surprising is that this girl actually found a private hospital and really removed her cornea.
“Are you sure?” When Edwin heard this, he felt an extreme pain coming to his chest.
May answered, “Well I’m not 100% sure. However, the girl specifically asked to give her cornea to you by name. Moreover, her blood type matched yours in all aspects. Other than the girl, I don’t think there’s anyone else who would’ve done it.”
Corneas were scarce to begin with
Only so many people died in a year, and less than 1% of them were willing to donate their organs,
