Chapter 1337: A Daughter’s Redemption
Cheyenne decided to tell Pearl about Sam’s whereabouts, knowing she would find out sooner or later.
“He did many wrong things and got caught, but don’t worry… at least for now, he is safe.”
“What!”
He got caught!
Pearl was shocked by the sudden news and couldn’t help but start worrying about him.
She grabbed Cheyenne’s hand. “Cheyenne, will he die?”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Please, save him. He’s not a very bad person; I can feel it.”
He took in Giana and Esteban and took her to the amusement park. How could someone like him be a terrible person?
Pearl had just woken up and couldn’t handle such intense emotions. Cheyenne patted her shoulder to calm her down.
“Don’t get too worked up. You just woke up, and your heart can’t handle strong emotions.”
“But…”
“Sam did many wrong things, but he also contributed to this case by reporting it.”
She believed that with some persuasion, she could save Sam from the death penalty.
“As long as he isn’t sentenced to death, I am confident I can save him. The worst outcome would be life imprisonment.”
Life imprisonment meant being in jail for life. Would someone as proud as Sam accept such a fate?
Pearl was confused. Regardless, she had to thank Cheyenne. Without her, both she and Sam would have faced death.
“Thank you, Cheyenne. I have nothing to repay you with now. If you ever need my help in the future, just ask.”
Cheyenne smiled softly and helped her lie back down to rest.
“I forgot to tell you, Sam and my husband are half-brothers.”
“By seniority, you shouldn’t call me Cheyenne; I should call you sister-in-law.”
Sam was a month older than Kelvin. Even though it was just a month, he was still the elder brother.
The term “sister-in-law” made Pearl blush. She didn’t know there was a blood relation between Sam and Mr. Foley, although they did look somewhat alike.
“He never mentioned it.”
“Their relationship is complicated due to certain things. Let’s talk about it later. You should rest now.”
Cheyenne had done so much for her while she was unconscious. Pearl’s eyes filled with tears, and she softly said, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
Pearl was indeed tired after talking so much right after waking up. She quickly fell asleep after closing her eyes.
Seeing this, Cheyenne gently adjusted her blanket and quietly left the room.
“Cheyenne~”
Kelvin looked at her with a pitiful expression as soon as she stepped out.
“What now?”
“You were patting Miss Gilliam’s back.”
“So?”
“You held her hand and tucked her in.”
Cheyenne nodded, not seeing anything wrong with that.
Seeing she didn’t understand, Kelvin spoke more directly. “You were gentler with her than with me. I’m jealous.”
Cheyenne laughed at his jealousy over such a small thing.
“You, jealous of a woman? She’s your sister-in-law!”
Kelvin shamelessly hugged her, resting his chin on her shoulder.
“Even if she’s a woman or my sister-in-law, it doesn’t matter!”
“Alright, stop making a scene. Sam is caught now; what do you plan to do?”
Whether he wanted revenge or forgiveness, Cheyenne would support him.
Regarding Sam…
Kelvin was conflicted. He took a deep breath and said slowly, “Let it be. Sparing his life is an explanation to her.”
By “her,” he meant Gracie, his mother who never cared for him.
Cheyenne hugged his waist, gently patting his back like she did with Pearl.
“You’ve done well. No one will blame you.”
“Thank you, Cheyenne.”
Kelvin smiled again and hugged her tighter.
“I can’t wait to go back home. We’ve been here for almost two months. I wonder if Cierra misses me? Has she lost weight?”
Cheyenne wanted to say: You just video-called her this morning.
“Don’t worry; even if Cierra misses you, it won’t affect her eating habits.”
Lose weight? More like gain five pounds!
Despite her teasing thoughts, Cheyenne missed home too.
She held Kelvin’s hand as they walked away together. “Just a few more days. Once things are settled here, we can go home.”
“Okay, I’ll ask Chris to book the tickets tonight.”
“Alright.”
Three days later, Pearl’s medical check-ups showed no abnormalities. She would no longer be troubled by heart disease.
Like other girls in their twenties, Pearl could finally live the life she wanted-drinking, staying up late, going to clubs.
Moreover, Cheyenne discovered that the Golden Silkworm Magic fused into Pearl’s blood had detoxifying properties.
“Amazing! It’s like an invincible body from a novel!”
In all her years of practice, Cheyenne had never encountered such a case!
This made her think of the suffering soldiers back home. If they could use Pearl’s blood as an antidote, their symptoms could be alleviated.
She knew asking for this favor seemed like taking advantage of gratitude, but every day of delay meant more innocent lives lost.
However, Pearl was pregnant and slightly anemic; asking for her blood now seemed too much.
Cheyenne felt stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Pearl noticed Cheyenne’s unusual behavior and learned about the situation from Eddie and Mr. Weaver.
It turned out that the cause was her father’s mistake in trying to extend her life.
“Since my father made the mistake, it’s my duty as his daughter to atone for it.”
Those people died because of her; she should be the one to save them.
Only then would she have the courage to continue living in this world.
