Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1682

What did the descendants of the Close family have to do with her?

What did the unity of the Close family have to do with her?

All these years, if it wasn't for Chad, if it wasn't for the country, and if it wasn't for those people from the military, she would have died in that big earthquake.

It was Chad who pulled her out of the rubble, and it was those soldiers who gave her food and the belief to live. Now her so-called family members actually want to subvert her faith. They were simply dreaming!

Seeing the light under Alison's eyes, Clark couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"Alison, when we lost you back then, your mother and I were sad too."

"Since you were sad, did you guys ever go back to look for me?"

What Alison said instantly made Clark's words stick in his throat.

How come he hadn't looked for her?

But at that time, it was not appropriate for the Close family to go back. He had asked many people to look for her, especially Ebby, but to no avail.

"Alison, back then, your aunt went back to the country many times to look for you. Do you know? At that time, she was in such an awkward situation and many people were looking for her. For this reason, she even went to get plastic surgery. Over the years, she has not only traveled around the countries selling arms but has also been asking for news of you. Your aunt felt guilty about you, and the Close family also felt guilty about you. Now you are back. I don't want anything more than for you to stay with the Close family. Even if you do nothing, your mother and I will be happy to see you here with us."

His words made Alison sneer.

"Do nothing? What are you afraid of me doing?"

Clark narrowed his eyes and didn't say anything. But the look in his eyes already said everything.

Alison sneered, "In the end, you still don't believe me. Even if I betrayed Nicole for the Close family, you still don't believe me, do you? There are fathers in this world who don't believe in their daughters. You have really impressed me."

"Alison, that's not true. Your father didn't say that."

Old Mrs. Close hurriedly explained.

She had been looking for her for so long that she was getting depressed.

Clark was paralyzed in both legs because of what happened back then, and they hadn't had any more children over the years. Perhaps it was God's punishment for them. After losing Alison, she was never able to conceive again, so Old Mrs. Close was very happy to have her only daughter back.

But Alison had been cold and unapproachable since her return.

Old Mrs. Close was very sad.

Alison glanced at Old Mrs. Close, and her mocking eyes finally softened.

In this family, Old Mrs. Close was the only one who genuinely wished her well, right?

"Mum, I'm hungry."

"I'll go and make you something to eat. What do you want to eat?"

As soon as she heard Alison say that, Old Mrs. Close immediately became happy.

"I'll eat whatever you make."

Alison smiled gently.

Although her smile was not too good, it was good enough for Old Mrs. Close.

Watching Old Mrs. Close go and prepare food for her, Alison's eyes eventually softened.

It also pained Clark to see this.

"The year you were lost, your mother got depressed. There were several times when I woke up in the middle of the night to see her standing at the window and holding the rag doll you liked. Sometimes I was really afraid she would just jump off like that. She took pills, hurt herself, bruised herself each time, and blamed herself for leaving you behind and not watching after you. All these years, she didn't sleep well when you didn't come back. It's only when you came back that she felt alive again. Alison, we really missed you."

As she listened to Clark, Alison whispered, "Don't you think this is retribution? The people of the Close family have done so many bad things that even God can't stand it anymore, and that's why you've been in such pain."
