Chapter 155 Chapter 155: Let’s Go Home
Estelle didn’t want to stand on the high moral ground and blame them. After all, how often Gretchen had abortions and whether her health was damaged had nothing to do with her.
She couldn’t stand that Gretchen and Melody were so unscrupulous that they killed her father and Cristofer's parents for the sake of money.
“Estelle, where are you now?” Rebecca asked.
“I’m on the way to the hospital with my mother,” Estelle responded.
“I see. Take care of Auntie Aurora. I’ll call Justin and have a talk with him,” Rebecca informed her.
Estelle was a little surprised and asked, “Have you been reconciled with Mr. Roberts?”
“No. Since Justin pretended to be Mr. Mysterious, he must know who Mr. Mysterious is. I’ll talk with him and try to get some information about Mr. Mysterious for you,” Rebecca stated quickly.
“Thanks, Rebecca. But you don’t have to do this for me. I don’t care much about the identity of Mr. Mysterious now,” Estelle gently explained.
However, Rebecca insisted, “Estelle, although Mr. Mysterious is good to you, you can’t be with an unidentified person like him for the rest of your life. Don’t worry. I’ll help you find out his identity. I will take the blame if Mr. Mysterious is unhappy about this.”
“Rebecca…”
“Well, listen to me, Estelle,” Rebecca interrupted her and said. Even if you don’t care about Mr. Mysterious’s identity, you should at least know his purpose for coming to you. I’ll call Justin and ask him about it. Bye.”
“...”
After Estelle hung up the phone, Aurora, who had been leaning against her shoulder and sleeping, had woken up.
“Estelle, who were you talking with?” Aurora asked, looking exhausted both physically and mentally. Her face was sallow, and her eyes dulled.
“A good friend of mine called me,” Estelle said gently.
“Is it Mr. Mysterious? Did you thank him for letting his driver pick us up?” Aurora inquired.
“No,” Estelle said, feeling somewhat nervous. “It was my former classmate calling. Her name is Rebecca. She’s the daughter of the Miller family.”
“The Miller family?”
“Yes,” Estelle nodded and said. “She is a very enthusiastic girl.”
With a bitter smile, Aurora asked, “Estelle, let me ask you a question. Did you borrow money from Rebecca to pay my medical fees?”
Estelle froze and didn’t know how to answer her.
“Don’t lie to me. I’m not a fool. I used to think that you were in a good relationship with Cristofer, and with his protection, your uncle didn’t dare to do anything to us. But I didn’t expect that Cristofer would have an affair with Gretchen and... and now they even have a baby! He has gone too far!”
Aurora, who had always been gentle and good-tempered, had never been so furious.
She felt extremely angry and distressed at the thought of Cristofer's betrayal and Estelle suffering so much alone in the past years.
“Mom, I have something to tell you.”
“Go ahead,” Aurora nodded, signaling her to continue.
“I... I have a job now. I’m working as a designer at Only Love Jewelry. Many clients like my design. And I’m capable of supporting you and my children.”
Aurora looked at Estelle with her eyes bright with tears and said, “Really? Estelle, don’t do it to me.”
“Really, Mom. I’m telling the truth. One of my clients will launch new clothes for her clothing brand soon. The jewelry on the models is all designed by me. I’ll take you to the launch event then.”
Hearing this, Aurora breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “It’s not that I don’t believe you. I just feel sorry for you and don’t want you to bear everything alone. You used to be the little princess of our family. How could your life become like this.”
Estelle smiled and said with a calm look, “Don’t cry, Mom. I’m not the little princess of our family anymore. I’m me. The Hudson Group is the fruit of Dad’s painstaking efforts. I’ll try to get it back. But I only have a half share of the company, while York has not only the other half shares of the Hudson Group but also has a full share of the Hans Group. So I may not be able to compete with him for the time being. But I’ll try my best.”
“Forget it, Estelle. Just let bygones be bygones. I only want you to live a happy life. As for the Hudson Group... I shouldn’t have set a fox to keep the geese. But now that things have come to this, just let it go. I don’t want you to live a hard life in the future. Your father would feel distressed in heaven if you suffered. He loved you the most. If he was asked to choose between the Hudson Group and you, he would definitely choose you without hesitation.”
Estelle could understand Aurora, but she was still unreconciled. She didn’t want to see York hold sway over the company founded by her father.
‘In the past, I cannot contend with York. But now things are different. With Mr. Mysterious backing me up, I will definitely be able to get the company back.’
At this time, the car slowly stopped at the gate of the inpatient building.
“Miss Hudson, Mrs. Hudson, here we are,” Ron said respectfully.
“Thank you, Ron,” Aurora said.
Ron waved his hand and smiled, “It’s my pleasure, Mrs. Hudson. Actually, it was Mr. Mysterious who asked me to pick you up. The one you should thank is him.”
Aurora was a little confused. “Excuse me. May I know Mr. Mysterious’ real name?”
“Mom, let’s go back first.” Estelle interrupted their conversation, then opened the rear door and helped Aurora exit the car.
After settling Aurora in the ward, Estelle went to the Doctor’s office.
“Your mother is not in a good condition now. Be careful in the future, and don’t let anything make her emotional anymore,” The Doctor reminded her.
“I will remember that, Doc,” Estelle nodded.
“And she still needs to stay in the hospital for some time to recuperate. The nurses will take good care of her. Don’t worry,” the Doctor added.
“I see. Thank you, Doctor.”
When Estelle returned to the ward, Aurora had been put on an intravenous drip and had fallen asleep.
Then after making sure that Aurora was better, she left the ward quietly and went downstairs.
To her surprise, the black Maybach was still parked at the gate of the inpatient building.
‘Did Mr. Mysterious tell Ron to send me back home?’ Estelle wondered.
Suddenly, her phone beeped, and a message from Mr. Mysterious came.
‘Estelle, stay where you are.’
Estelle stopped her steps immediately.
And the moment she stopped, her eyes were again covered by the soft cloth.
“Sir?”
“Yes. I’m here to pick you up. Let’s go home.”
When Estelle heard his words, tears welled up in her eyes.
Mr. Mysterious tied the cloth at the back of her head again and hugged her gently. “Don’t worry. Your mother will be taken good care of and recover soon.”
“Okay.”
“And Gretchen will pay the price.”
“Sir, you have long known what she has done before, right?”
