You Are The Pursuit of My Life novel Chapter 234

Irene stood up and walked out with Maisy. After closing the door, Steven sighed and said, "I don't have much time left."

"You will recover with enough rest. You will be better after undergoing the necessary treatment," Edric comforted.

"I know my own body. I called you here today because I have something to tell you," Steven heaved a long sigh, "I'm being investigated!"

"What?" Edric was shocked, "When did this happen?"

"The official notice hasn't been released, but it should be soon. I've asked you to come here to arrange the funeral," Steven looked at Edric with a complicated look, "Irene is in your hands now, and I hope you'll treat her well."

"I will. Be rest assured about that," Edric promised, "I don't think your situation is that serious. Don't worry, I will think of a way."

Steven shook his head, "There's no need for that!"

He told Edric that Myra's murderer was Deborah, "I've been regretting it to the extreme during this period of time. It's all my fault! Look where it has taken me today! I wanted to make her suffer a fate worse than death, but I didn't expect her to escape. I'm sure she has something to do with what happened this time. I deserve this. However, Myra is different. She cannot die in vain. I don't want to tell Irene about this matter. You have to avenge Myra, for Irene's sake! Don't let her get away with this!"

Edric nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't!"

"There's also Lily's affairs," Steven paused for a moment, "She's been brought up by that sl*t these few years, and her thoughts are as vicious as hers. I know that she has done something to wrong you and Irene, but no matter what, she's still my child... I hope you'll let her off the hook."

"We'll talk about this later. You take care of your health first," Edric did not promise him anything. Seeing that Edric did not agree to his request, Steven sighed heavily.

Ever since she had been locked in by Simon that night, Marie had no way to deal with Simon. It was unrealistic for her to leave, and she did not dare to turn against him. Now, she could only swallow her anger and live under Simon's control.

Simon had nothing to do every day. During daytime, he would watch his rented pornography and waited for Marie to come back at night to do all sorts of things to her. Marie was now suffering from mental and physical torture. She wanted to drug Simon, knock him out and clean him up. However, Simon was a careful person. He would always let Marie taste anything that she brought first, before eating it himself.

Simon had probably already realized that Marie wanted to hurt him. He also threatened Marie to not have any other thoughts. He said that he had already told his good buddy in prison about him living here. As long as something went wrong with him, his friends would inform the police.

Marie did not believe him at first, but one day, Simon brought a man not unlike him into her apartment. He told the man that Marie was his wife and that was all it took for Marie to confirm her suspicions. Simon was guarding himself from her.

Was she going to be enslaved forever by this disgusting gangster? Marie was not willing to give up. She tried so many ways, but they all failed. In the end, she really could not find a way. She thought about asking some help from her underworld friends, but it might cost her quite a fortune.

While Marie was thinking about ways to deal with Simon, Steven's investigation was also going on. His properties were seized. His villa had been closed down and all of his assets were frozen. He had just encountered an accident, and Lily was the first to be affected. The latter had been enjoying first class service at a private hospital before being kicked out as Steven failed to pay for the expenses.

Lily was homeless, so she had to call Marie. Marie had always taken her as her own daughter. When she heard the news, she would not turn a blind eye to it. Lily was her daughter. She had been looking for a chance to get close to her. It seemed that it was the best time forthat.

If Lily moved in, it would be inappropriate for Simon to live at the apartment. When asked if he could move out from the place, he immediately rejected the idea, "Isn't Lily my daughter as well? I think it's going to be perfect if she's here with us. Our family shall be complete! I can also take care of her."

"You must not tell anyone that Lily is our daughter," Marie warned.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid," Simon narrowed his eyes and smiled, "As long as you are obedient, I'm not going to say anything about that thing in the past."

Marie had no choice. She would have to let Simon enjoy a few more days first before dealing with him properly.

Edric did not tell Irene about Steven's detention. When Maisy called and told Irene about it, she was shocked and rushed to the hospital.

Irene did not know what had gone down. She guessed that it had something to do with Steven's job. When she found out about his illness had been triggered due to a phone call, she decided to go to the hospital and ask him herself.

She hurried to the patients' wards. The elevator door opened as soon as she reached it.

Irene looked at Steven in surprise as he walked out, being held by two men, "Dad!"

Irene did not say anything else, because she discovered that her father's hands were bound behind his back.

The way the men were handling Steven reminded Irene of how policemen handled culprits in the movies. Her heart skipped a beat. Irene's heart sank. Was her father really in trouble?

She stood rooted to the ground in a daze, her mind in a mess. Steven just spotted Irene. It was a very shameful thing for him to be taken away by the police while being watched by her daughter. He did not want his daughter to see this even if he had to die, but now he could not escape at all. Seeing the shocked look in Irene's eyes, he felt heartbroken. He managed to move his cracked dry lips and spit out, "Irene."
