Seize His Little Wife

Ives Norton rubbed his chin and said with some uncertainty, “He called you Pearl, I think that’s what he tried to name you before.”

“That’s right, I had already thought of the name I was going to give you when your mother was still pregnant with you, Pearl if it was a daughter, and Bright if it was a boy, but who knew that hearts could change so fast in just a few short months.” Leo Bort laughed to himself.

By this moment, he finally realized what kind of person he had been when he was young.

He used to refuse to admit that he was nasty, but now that he was dying, he had to admit that he really wasn’t a good man.

And what he found most pathetic and ridiculous was that when he was nearing the end of his life, it wasn’t that woman who came to mind, but Ella Smith.

That woman had been a blur in his memory for a long time, and Ella Smith’s was still so clear.

It turns out that the reason why he still remembers Ella Smith so clearly is not because of anything else, it’s because he’s always still in love with her, it’s just that he didn’t want to admit it in the past, and because of the mistakes he made, he subconsciously pressed Ella Smith into the deepest recesses of his heart not to think about her, and only that way would he feel that he hadn’t done anything wrong.

Now that I think about it, everything is just him fooling himself, he never forgot her, she has always been in the bottom of his heart, that’s why he took her stuff back then for good.

“That’s enough, I don’t want to hear any of this, and don’t you dare talk to me about repentance, if you want to repent, go down there and tell my mother yourself, I’m just her daughter, so what’s the point of telling me this, I’m not entitled to it, and I’m not going to forgive you for her!” Christine White was getting impatient and pulled up her volume to yell.

What she hated now was people who clearly did something wrong and then came back later to confess.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

What’s the point?

If you’re going to regret it later, why did you do it in the first place?

So people like that, she would never sympathize with.

Hearing the disgust in Christine White’s tone, Leo Bort’s heart pumped and he mumbled not knowing what to say.

After a moment, he suddenly pulled something from around his neck and handed it to her, “This is the key to my safe.”

“A safe?” Christine White looked at the small, and very old and rusty key with confusion in her eyes.

“Under the floorboards in my study, there’s a secret compartment, there’s a safe in there, it holds all your mom’s belongings from when she was alive, I’ve kept it and never told anyone, none of the Molly Bort girls know about it, and now it’s all yours.” Leo Bort finished, put the key down and closed his eyes.

Christine White looked at how tired he seemed to be, and her lips moved, and much of what she wanted to ask, she couldn’t.

She actually wanted to ask why he kept her real mother’s things if he betrayed her real mother back then and watched her real mother go to her death.

Not only do you keep it, but you put it in a safe that is so hidden, and keep the if of the safe close to you.

Looking at the traces of the key, it was clear that this was a key that he had never left his side, and it was obvious that this if something important to him.

Was it really true, as he had just said, that the person he had always loved was her real mother?

“Christine, let’s go outside.” Ives Norton saw Christine White froze and spoke gently to remind her.

Christine White bit her lower lip, grabbed her keys and turned toward the door.

Walking out of the hospital room, she looked at the key in the palm of her hand, her eyes were complicated, “What do you think is in that safe?”

“I don’t know, but I’m really surprised that the key has this significance, I thought it was just a decoration, and I tried to take it off yesterday when I was examining Leo Bort, and I was stopped by him, and by the look of him at the time he was nervous about the key.” Ives Norton said.

“This key should have been hanging around his neck the whole time.” Christine White put the key away.

Ives Norton nodded, “I think so, this key is all rusted and slightly warped, it’s never been removed at first glance, in fact, I’ve always been a little impressed with this key.”

“Hmm?” Christine White looked at him.

Ives Norton smiled, “That was ten years ago, well it was the year before you married Baird, there was a party that year and I saw this key around Leo Bort’s neck, but I just thought it was a necklace decoration so I didn’t pay attention to it, and now I realize that it’s actually so important.”

“Come on, I’m going to see if there really is some kind of safe in his study anyway.” Christine White said as she took a deep breath.

Ives Norton shrugged his shoulders regretfully, “I won’t accompany you, I have to go to the lab to continue working on the serum vaccine.”

“Any progress?” Christine White asked.

Ives Norton shook his head, “Since there’s no way to do a deeper analysis without that vial of virus, there’s not much to go on at the moment.”

“Then have Baird Lane get you one infected with the virus, that should allow for deeper research.” Christine White said thoughtfully.

Ives Norton stretched, “That’s what I thought, already talked to Baird, he’ll set it up.”

“That’s good, then I’ll be on my way.” Christine White waved her hand and headed for the elevator.

When she got to the parking lot, she circled her car to make sure there was nothing wrong with her car before getting in and leaving.

On the way, she finally couldn’t resist and dialed Baird Lane’s number.

I didn’t think Baird Lane would answer, but the call actually went through.

“Hello?” Baird Lane’s low voice came.

Christine White was slightly relieved to hear that his voice was calm and not very emotional otherwise.

This means that he’s fine there for now and nothing has happened.

She was just worried that something would change if she didn’t hear from him for so long.

“It’s me.” Christine White spoke.

Baird Lane gave a low laugh, “I know.”

“I wanted to ask you how it’s going over there?” Christine White asked.

That was the most important thing she wanted to know at the moment.

Baird Lane swept a glance at the group of people under military control, his eyes darkened as he replied, “A lot of arrests have been made, some of the medics are testing those people to see if there are any contagious poisons, but there are a lot of people in the organization, and there are still some who have not been captured, and are still being apprehended.”

“What about Molly Bort, did Molly Bort get caught?” Christine White was concerned.

Baird Lane shook his head, “Not yet, neither Molly Bort nor the alpha have been captured, but they can’t run, they should be hiding somewhere, the military is searching, it should be a while longer.”

“I know, be careful not to go near those people.” Christine White instructed him seriously.

Baird Lane’s heart warmed and his voice became soft, “Don’t worry, I know, you’re out there now?”

He suddenly heard the sound of a car horn coming from the phone.

Christine White didn’t hide it from him and replied, “I went to see Leo Bort.”

“See him for what?” Baird Lane wrinkled his nose.

He knew Leo Bort was in the hospital.

Christine White said lightly, “He was the one who wanted to see me, and you know what, he got what he deserved, he got cancer.”

The corner of Baird Lane’s mouth twitched slightly, “Cancer?”

“Uh-huh.” Christine White told him all about meeting Leo Bort.

Baird Lane drifted off, “So you’re going to The Bort Family villa now?”

“Yes, I wanted to see if he really had what was left of my mom.”

“I’ll send someone over to help you, the floor is so thick, how are you going to pry it up by yourself.” Baird Lane arranged.

Christine White didn’t say no, “Okay, you tell him to go straight to The Bort Family Villa, I’m almost there, hang up now.”

With those words, she put down her cell phone and parked her car in front of The Bort Family Villa.
