When the bell was about to finish, only then did Laura open the button and place it beside her ear.
"Hello."
"Laura …"
Nick Anderson weakly called out her name, not saying another word.
She frowned.
"Is something that matter?"
"I just want to hear your voice. It feels like... I can't bear it any longer. "
Silence.
Nick Anderson sighed: "How could I turn our relationship into this, I shouldn't have been so impulsive, losing my little sister caused me great pain."
She lowered her eyes and lightly bit the corner of her lips, not making a sound.
In the past few years, Nick Anderson had treated her very well.
"I originally wanted to tell you when you graduated from university, but you met William Walton, and then a lot of things happened. I missed the best opportunity, and I should have kept silent, but I was so jealous that I lost my cool. Laura, do you hate me?"
"No. I can imagine that right now, you might be very sad, but I really don't know what I can comfort you with. Bro, if you want to come out earlier, it's better to delete my contact information. Continuing to contact me is of no benefit to you. Our position does not allow us to be intimate siblings anymore. You should be aware of this fact. "
"I understand, but when I'm particularly tired and at a loss, I would habitually want to call you. I even thought today that maybe you wouldn't pick up my call."
"I didn't really want to take it, but I think it's better to be clear. Actually, it is not important who you are to me. What is important is that it is impossible for me to have any sort of relationship with you, because I do not have those sort of thoughts or feelings toward you. "
Her calm formed a stark contrast with Nick Anderson's current decadence.
Nick Anderson stayed silent for a long time.
She said, "If there's really nothing else, I'll have to hang up first."
"Laura …"
Nick Anderson called out to her anxiously.
She nodded her head.
"Go ahead."
"Betty may be sentenced."
"Why are you telling me this?"
"I just wanted to ask, is this really what you want to see?"
Nodding, she replied, "Yes."
"Do you really hate her to the point that you want to destroy her?"
She said, "I really don't want to answer this question anymore."
"If I can make my mother and Betty Anderson sincerely apologize to you, can you choose to let her go?"
"If their apologies can be exchanged for my mother's life, I can spare them. But if not, please keep your mouth shut. I still have that old saying. You haven't experienced the despair that the mother and daughter of the Anderson family gave me, so you don't have the qualifications to persuade me to be kind. Because compared to them, I am truly an angel. At least I don't kill them. "
"Laura, Auntie committed suicide."
"Enough, the purpose of you calling me today, is still to save Betty Anderson after all. I can tell you this clearly, I am going to investigate Betty Anderson's responsibilities no matter what. Whether it's John Anderson, Helen Anderson, or Betty Anderson, none of them will be able to shirk their responsibilities. Today, everything that Betty Anderson has shouldered, is just retribution, and compared to the hatred in my heart, this is far from enough. "
