Theresa said honestly, “It’s me, I don’t want a baby.”
Elizabeth soon became gloomy, “Why?” Without waiting for Theresa to answer, she continued, “You are not a match for Armand, break up with him right away.”
The old lady thought in her heart that the woman in front of her was much worse than Theresa.
Theresa was much better than her.
Theresa was so reasonable, she was beautiful and amiable, and was so nice to her. Elizabeth was so sad thinking of this. And this woman, she should egg on Armand not to have a baby even before they got married.
And Armand even accepted her proposal.
Was he crazy?
For such a woman?
The old lady was so furious, she breathed heavily, “I tell you, you forget to marry Armand. Don’t say that you don’t want to give birth to babies, even if you want, I would definitely object it!”
“Having a baby is my own business. So what if you don’t agree?” Armand strode over.
He was quite determined, just the same as he was in the hospital.
His grandmother, Elizabeth, was shocked by his attitude. That was why she asked the nursing worker to borrow a wheelchair from the hospital and came to the villa at night, despite that she was quite sick now. She wanted Cormac and Boyce to convince Armand.
As soon as Elizabeth saw her grandson, tears welled up in her eyes, “What on earth is wrong you?”
She wondered if he had been bewitched by the temptress.
Theresa put her hands together, watching Armand strode over from not afar.
She wasn’t surprised as she knew that Boyce must have informed him.
Actually, she believed it was a good chance to talk about the matter openly.
If Armand’s grandmother couldn’t accept her no matter what, she would quit. It was unnecessary to make Armand bothered between them.
“Armand, have you forgotten Theresa?” Elizabeth tried hard to convince Armand. After all, he used to like Theresa before.
“I am Theresa.”
Right after Armand approached them, he heard Theresa tell Elizabeth directly.
He looked over at her. Under the light, he stared at her calm face.
He knew that she wasn’t so calm inwardly as she looked now.
Armand reached out to grab her hand, looking over at his grandmother.
Elizabeth was confused. She thought she had misheard something.
“What… What did you say?” Her first reaction was that the young woman was lying to her.
She had met Theresa before.
“She’s telling the truth. She was kidnapped and injured seriously back then, so her look was changed. It was also because of that explosion, she couldn’t become a mother.”
Armand had planned to convince Elizabeth before taking Theresa to her and told her what had happened.
In that case, Theresa didn’t need to have the stress of having no kid. After all, his grandmother would give up the idea.
However, things didn’t go as he had happened. Hence, he could only tell his grandmother everything frankly. He hoped that she could give up on mentioning the child for the sake that Theresa had suffered a lot.
Elizabeth couldn’t speak for a long while. She stared at Theresa, trying to find a trace of the past on her face.
However, it was way too difficult. She couldn’t find any.
“Are… Are you truly Theresa?” Elizabeth’s voice trembled in disbelief and shock.
Theresa parted her lips and wanted to admit it. Armand suddenly grabbed her hand and said to his grandmother, “Yes. She is Theresa.”
Elizabeth waved her hand, “Go away. I just want to listen to her.”
She gazed at Theresa without a blink.
Theresa didn’t feel hesitant. She said, “Yes, I am Theresa.”
Elizabeth parted her lips but couldn’t utter any word for a long while.
It was so incredible.
After a long while, she reached out to Theresa and waved at her, “Come over. Let me take a look…”
Theresa pulled away Armand’s hand, walked to Elizabeth, and squatted down gently. Elizabeth reached out her trembling hands and stroked her cheeks. It was a completely strange face.
It looked so strange that Elizabeth could hardly believe that was Theresa.
She couldn’t imagine how seriously Theresa had been injured so that she must change her look.
Even her voice was different. She was completely another woman.
“It’s our fault…”
Elizabeth wiped off the tears dropped from the corner of her eyes. She felt sorry for Theresa as well as shocked. She still couldn’t accept the fact yet.
While feeling shocked, she knew it clearly – the young woman was Theresa. As long as Theresa was with Armand, she wouldn’t be able to have a great-grandson all her life.
However, if she would be against them, she wouldn’t carry the weight of her conscience.
Elizabeth was in a panic and ambivalent.
“When did you come back? Why didn’t you come to see me?” Elizabeth calmed down.
Theresa lowered her head in silence.
Even if she was silent, Elizabeth knew the reason, “It must be because of Armand, the bastard. He has hurt you so much that you even didn’t want to come to see me.”
“I can understand you.” Elizabeth held Theresa’s hand tightly, “As long as you are fine, that’s good.”
She truly hoped that Theresa was safe and sound.
Theresa pressed her lips and said, “I’m sorry.”
