In Taronia, when the news of Irene''s passing reached the Woods family, it did not cause much of a ripple.
After all, Irene was only a servant. She was even an ex-servant.
Ever since Irene left, no one in the Woods family ever mentioned her anymore. It was Sam who received news of Irene''s passing because Irene returned him the money that she owed.
"Dad, do you still remember the ugly nanny we had previously called Irene?" Sam brought this up during dinner.
"Of course, I do. Lucas treated her quite well." Mr. Woods nced at Sam. "Why are you bringing her up? Did shee to look for you?"
Sam shook his head. "She''s dead."
The atmosphere at the dining table instantly changed. Although they did not care whether Irene lived or died, they were still shocked by this news.
"How did she die? She was doing just fine. Did she die of disease? I see she is still quite good at her work," Mrs. Woods found it a little unlucky. She secretly prayed that it was not some strange disease.
"I don''t know how she died. Today, someone transferred the money that she owed me into my ount. They even said that they were paying on her behalf. Then, they told me she died and thanked me for taking care of her previously." Sam felt a little sad when he said that.
"Someone paid on her behalf? Who was it? She didn''t have any family, right?"
"Maybe it was some charity organization!" Sam guessed.
At that moment, the butler also chimed in, "She also returned the money that she owed me."
"Did the person that gave you the money also say that she died?" Sam asked.
The butler nodded. "They also said things like thank you for taking care of her."
"I don''t know how she died, but it''s too sudden. I heard she even got into Turlington University!" Sam said pitifully, "I''m guessing it''s not a sickness. What sickness would happen so quickly? I think it must be an ident."
Mrs. Woods was relieved. "This child
doesn''t have a good life. It''s good that she died. The earlier she died, she could have had a better life in the next life. So what if she got into Turlington University? When she graduates in the future, she still won''t be able to find a job. With her looks, people would not want her to even be a nanny. Only our family would not care about it that much and hire her."
"She''s already dead. Why are you talking about this." Mr. Woods suddenly lost his appetite, so he left his seat.Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.
Mr. Woods thought about how he has not contacted Lucas in a week. It was not because he did not contact Lucas, but because Lucas was not answering his calls.
Mr. Woods knew that there was a
time difference between Taronia and Edelweiss. Sometimes, the timing did not match, but Lucas would even return Mr. Woods'' call if he saw missed calls.
Mr. Woods was disappointed. However, no matter what, Lucas was his son. Even if Lucas did not answer his calls, he would still call him from time to time. Just like that day. Lucas surely did not know about Irene''s death.
Mr. Woods called Lucas, wanting to share this piece of news with him, but no one answered the call as usual.
Out of helplessness, Mr. Woods could only send Lucas a message.
About ten minutes after sending the message of Irene''s death, Lucas'' call came.
Mr. Woods did not expect that it would be Irene that would make his son call him on his own initiative.
"You said Irene died? What happened?" Lucas'' voice was a little worried. He sounded extremely cold.
Mr. Woods replied, "I don''t know the
details. Sam
was the one who told
us. The butler too. Irene owed them money previously, right? She repaid them today. The person who paid on her behalf said that she had died. Perhaps it was by some ident! This is life. No one will know whether tomorrow wille or not..."
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Lucas hung up the call.
Irene was dead. She was actually dead.
When was thest time they met? What was thest sentence they said to each other?
