Chapter 2283


    Helen subconsciously substituted herself as Curtis''s wife in her mind, and she instantly felt that her


    eyes were already filled with tears. 2

    She wanted to hold the tears back, but she really would not have expected that big drops of tears


    would gush out of her eyes because she could not control it 0 r hold it back at all. The tears slid


    down her wrinkle-free face which seemed to show no signs of aging whatsoever. 4


    The old butler who was standing aside could only sigh silently when he saw this.


    "Sigh... who in the entire capital would not know that the seconddy of the Dunn family has been


    deeply in love with Curtis for so many years...”


    "However, who would have known that the seconddy would still have such deep feelings and


    affection for him even after Curtis has already passed away nearly twenty years ago..." 3


    Ever since time began, love and sentimental affections would leave nothing but evesting hatred


    behind.


    ording to the ancient time, regret would be more suited for the word hatred.


    A person who was infatuated would only be left behind with regret, and this regret would be


    evesting.


    This was the exact case for Helen. 3


    A person who had never experienced this kind of deeply ingrained love would never be able to


    understand a person''s obsession with another person. 1


    As long as someone was obsessed, it would not matter even if they were apart for ten or twenty


    years, if they were thousands of miles apart, separated by a great distance, or even if they were


    separated by death. 4


    This was the case for Helen. 2


    She had wanted to forget Curtis a long time ago so that she could focus on living her life in a down-


    to-earth manner.


    However, the obsession in her heart would not allow her to do so.


    That obsession was like a weed that was growing in her heart.


    She could not nt anything else in her heart anymore because of that weed. 4


    Sometimes, she felt that this weed was already overgrown, and sometimes she even felt that it had


    already been burnt to ashes. 1


    However, she would never know when a spring breeze would suddenly fill her heart and this weed


    would


    start to grow out again.


    That obsession was also like a thorn in her heart.


    Sometimes, she would think that the thorn was already gone when she could not feel the pain


    anymore. 3


    However, she would always inadvertently end up getting hurt by this thorn again. 1


    Therefore, Helen finally understood that this obsession was already deeply imnted within her.


    "Curtis, since you have always been in my heart, why should I deliberately force myself to forget all


    about you, then?" 2


    "Since I have always loved you deeply, I will allow you to continue staying in that ce in my heart


    that would always belong to you, then..." 1


    "Whenever I thought about you in the past, I would always feel very guilty and sorry toward


    Sheldon.


    However, I have already broken free from him now. S 0, from now on, I can think of you and miss


    you openly without feeling any guilt toward anyone else anymore ..." 4


    At this point, Helen was also starting to feel much more relieved.


    She wiped her tears away as she asked the old butler," Uncle Walters, who owns this old mansion


    now?" 2


    The old butler pointed at the seal on the iron gate next to them before he said, "Miss Helen, this


    mansion has already been sealed up by the court." “Sealed?” Helen frowned and she hurriedly


    asked, " What happened? Can you help me to inquire about this matter?"


    The old butler nodded and said, "I have already been i n Aurous Hill for so many years, so I do have


    some connections in several departments. Let me call and ask about it.”


    Helen nodded before she urged, "Then, you should hurry up and make the call now. I would like to


    find out about it as soon as possible. Also, please help me t o ask whether I can take off the seal so


    that I can go in and take a look inside the mansion."


    The old butler hurriedly took out his cell phone to make a phone call. 2


    After making some inquiries, the old butler hurriedly reported to Helen, "Miss Helen, all of the


    properties under the name of the owner of this mansion has already been sealed up because he


    was involved in some illegal fund-raisingwsuit. However, his case has already been tried for more


    than two years out of town, and there is going to be a verdict soon. As soon a s the verdict is


    pronounced, this mansion will naturally enter into the judicial auction process." 1
