Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1013

"Grandpa, how dare I do something illegal? Besides, how did you know I caught Lillian?"

After Nicole finished speaking, she suddenly realized that Alison was Edwin's bodyguard.

Alright, she couldn't hide it from him. She was in a difficult situation.

According to Edwin's words, he wanted her to hand Lillian over to the police, but the police might not be able to get any information from Lillian. Moreover, there were uncertainties. If she ran away, it would be difficult to catch her again in the future.

If she didn't hand her over to the police, Edwin wouldn't agree.

It was really difficult for her.

"Grandpa, can you stop worrying about these things? By the way, you haven't told me what happened to that pair of tiger-toed shoes that Grandmother left behind. Do they belong to my mother?"

Nicole hurriedly changed the topic.

Edwin was shocked suddenly.

"Why are you asking about this?"

"I'm curious. The little box is in my bedroom. No, it's in my mother's bedroom. Who else could it be if it wasn't my mother's? But if it was my mother's, why did grandmother lock it up? Besides, what is grandmother like? I rarely hear her from you."

Nicole asked several questions.

Edwin pulled a wry face.

"You've asked so many questions. Which one should I answer first?"

"Answer whichever you want."

Ashley handed the peeled apple to Edwin.

Edwin felt pleased. He felt that this apple was the sweetest among all the apples he had tasted in his life.

"You little clever girl, Zoe is really like you."

"After all, that's my daughter."

Nicole was proud.

Edwin sighed, lost in thought.

He whispered, "Those tiger-toed shoes aren't your mother's."

"Whose is that?"

"Your aunt."

"What?"

Nicole was shocked.

"Didn't I just have only an aunt? She's Tim's mother, Martha. Why is there another aunt now?"

Edwin placed the apple on the coffee table, and a trace of sadness flashed through his eyes.

"Back then, your grandmother was pregnant with twins. When she gave birth to your aunt, the terrorists found them and kidnapped the child to threaten me to release their leader. I was really in a dilemma. I am a father, and that is my first child. I don't want her to be harmed at all, but I am also a soldier. I cannot harm the national interest for the sake of my own children. While I was hesitating, the terrorists fired on the newborn baby."

As he said that, Edwin was close to tears.

"She was so young, like a kitten, and before I could look at her, a mist of blood filled my eyes. Your grandmother fainted. Our snipers killed the terrorist in time. The paramedics began to carry out the rescue. Your grandmother gave birth to your mother fifteen minutes later, and the child has been in the operating room. "

"Doctors said the chances of the child being rescued were slim, but they were all trying their best. After eleven hours of the operation, when the child was pushed out, her face was deathly pale. The doctor said there was hope for the child if she could make it through the night. I sat right in front of her. She couldn't cry or laugh. Even her breathing was weak. She was small and soft, but also pale and weak. Your grandmother was bleeding heavily in the middle of the night and was sent to the emergency room again. After I heard the news, I quickly rushed over. I swore that I wanted to take a look at your grandmother, but at that time, my eldest daughter disappeared. "

Edwin bit his lower lip in sorrow, trying his best to suppress it.

Even though so many years had passed, this matter still stuck in his throat, almost suffocating him.

Nicole hurriedly patted Edwin's back gently. She comforted him and said, "Grandfather, don't be sad."

Edwin waved his hand and continued, "Perhaps that's when the relationship between your grandmother and I broke down. The child she had risked her life to give birth to was lost by me. My eldest daughter was not killed by the terrorists, but she was lost by me. I don't know if she's alive and where she is. At that time, your grandmother seemed to have gone crazy. As long as she felt better, she went out to find her eldest daughter. However, this child seemed to have disappeared from the world. There was no trace of her. We even searched all the dead babies in the hospital, but there was still no news of her. A year passed like this. On Audrey's birthday, your grandmother made two pairs of tiger-toed shoes and locked one of them in the cabinet. After that, she never mentioned the lost eldest daughter again, as if she had never given birth to that child. I thought she would slowly recover, but apparently, I was wrong. "

When he thought of how his wife treated him coldly every time he came back from his vacation, Edwin felt especially sad.

He was also sad to lose the child, but at that time, he was still young and felt that his wife was unforgiving since she always wore a long face, which made him more and more reluctant to go home. Therefore, he volunteered to go on a mission and leave the house even though he didn't have to.

When he learned that his wife was pregnant again, he realized that he had been cuckold by her, but he couldn't complain.

Thinking back to this past, Edwin felt that his heart was about to break.

Nicole never expected to hear such a thing from Edwin.
