Chapter 182
Chapter 182 I Promise You
“I just heard them say that your mother–inw seems to be on herst legs…”
??
Upon hearing these words, udia’s heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
Although she had been mentally prepared for a long time, she was still at a loss when the moment of
truth finally arrived.
“I am going now.”
udia hurriedly changed into a set of lightweight dark clothes and
headed out.
Horace’s mother happened to be waiting outside the door. She saw udia leaving without even
looking back, furrowing her brows. She said to Horace, “Clearly divorced and still so concerned about
another family, carrying someone else’s child in her belly. I can see that this girl doesn’t care about you
at all.”
“I never really cared.” Horace smiled, his eyes cool and clear. “It has always been unrequited love from
my side.”
Upon hearing these words, Horace’s mother’s breath caught, and her face immediately darkened.
“Unrequited love, you actually have unrequited love for a woman like her?”
“Howe you’ve fallen in love with her so quickly after just a few days in Wyvernport?” The mother,
who hadn’t seen her son in a rtionship for years, had once doubted if he even liked women.
When she found out that he had developed feelings for Seraphina, she
not only didn’t mind, but actually felt very happy about it. Even though this woman had been divorced,
she was not a traditional person, and her family valued the benefits that woulde from the union of
the two families.
Butter it was revealed that udia was pregnant and involved with several men, which crossed her
bottom line.
The Ferguson family never allowed others to raise children in their home.
Horace remained silent, his eyes flickered briefly, offering no exnation

Outside the hotel, when Edmond drove out of the underground parking lot in his Maybach, udia
happened toe out as well.
The car stopped in front of udia, the car window rolled down, revealing Edmond’s handsome and
charming face.
“Get in the car.”
Without hesitation, udia opened the door and sat inside.
“How is mom?” udia asked anxiously, her heart pounding.
Just then, Edmond’s phone rang, and he immediately answered it on speakerphone.
“Edmond…”
The weak voice belonged to Cicely!
udia widened her eyes.
“Mom, don’t worry, I was already on my way.”
Edmond’s usually steady voice trembled.
“Was udia by your side?”
Cicely’s voice was intermittent, but her pronunciation was clear, indicating that she was clearly forcing
herself.
udia shouted anxiously, “I’m here, I’m here, Mom, hold on, we’ll be there soon.
“udia, I have a favor to ask you,” Cicely said, her voice bing breathless over the phone.
“Okay, go ahead and speak, I promise I will agree to everything!”
The car was moving quickly, but the weather was not cooperating. There were red lights all the way.
Edmond pursed his lips, and the anxiety in his eyes seemed to burst out.
E
udia also became anxious, her eyes welling up with tears, as she listened to her grandmother’s
wheezing voice, clearly struggling to
breathe.
“udia, I may have to break my previous words… I want to beg you, after I die, please take care of
Edmond for me. I’m sorry, udia, but Edmond is truly a pitiful child, and I just can’t bear to leave him
alone…” Cicely choked up and started crying halfway through her words. As she approached death,
she reflected on her life, and the one thing she couldn’t let go of was her son, the one she felt she
owed the
most to.
She had been biased for half of her life. After Tristen and her husband passed away, she even poured
all her anger and hatred onto this youngest son.
Realizing only at the moment of death, but it was already toote.
Even though udia had promised not to interfere in their affairs, she broke her word at this moment.
Upon hearing Cicely’s words, udia’s expression froze for a moment. She nced at Edmond’s stiff
face in the rearview mirror and remained silent for a long time.
She didn’t want to agree originally, but this was Cicely’s request, or even one could say herst wish.
udia’s eyes turned red, and she choked out, “Okay, I promise you.
“I know, after I die, you will be the only one in this world who loves him the most…” Cicely said, and
then she hung up the phone, gasping for breath.
udia clenched her fingers into a fist, and her lips tightened into a thin line.
She dared not look at Edmond’s expression in the rearview mirror, only hoping to arrive early and see
her mother–inw for thest time.
The locals believe that after a person’s death, they must have descendants to perform the final rites.
The only descendants of the mother–inw are Edmond and Abel, and Abel is definitely still in school.
Edmond raced past the critical point of breaking traffic rules and finally arrived at the hospital.
Just as the two of them got out of the car, a hurried voice called out “udia” in their ears.
A person wearing a duckbill cap and a mask walked toward them.
“Are you udia?” The person’s voice was devoid of any emotion.
udia took a closer look and saw that it was a girl. She couldn’t see her face clearly, but she was
holding a ck bag in her arms. udia wondered what was inside the bag.
“I am,” udia nodded, then anxiously said to her, “I’m sorry, I have something urgent now. Can we
talk about itter?”
Although I didn’t know this person, she was still polite. There is nothing more important than a mother–
inw’s matters now.

Just as she took a few steps toward the entrance of the hospital, the girl with the duckbill cap stopped
her and firmly questioned, “The child in your belly is not Pedro’s!”
udia frowned and ignored her, walking past her.
Just then, the girl burst intoughter and reached her hand into the ck bag.
udia’s heart sank suddenly.
“Be careful!” Edmond eximed coldly.
Immediately, Edmond’s body pressed against her.
With a loud bang, something exploded.
Everything fell silent…
“Ah!”
“It was a bomb!”
Screams echoed through the sky, and people hurriedly moved around at the entrance of the hospital.
After an unknown period of time, udia was awakened by the sound of an ambnce. She struggled
to open her eyes, but her vision was blurred by blood.
“Edmond…”
She struggled to hold her body up and tried to catch a glimpse of the person beside her, but all she saw
was a figure covered in blood.
The second udia lost consciousness, tears streamed down her face
I’m sorry.

In an inconspicuous neighborhood, Rosalie walked into a room wearing a mask and fully armed.
This is a small passageway, although the house is small, it is fully equipped, and the sofa and furniture
are neatly arranged.
On the sofa, therey a man in pajamas, with messy shoulder–length hair, leisurely smoking. When
Rosalie walked in, he turned his head and blew out a smoke ring.
“What a rare visitor! I thought you would nevere again.”
He sneered, with his hair on both sides covering his face tightly. Even though only half of his face could
be seen, it was evident that he had a good appearance.
Rosalie put down her bag and said coldly, “Cicely died.”
The man’s hand trembled as he held the cigarette.
Smoke filled the room as Rosalie nonchntly walked over to him and plopped down on the couch,
“Last time I told you she had cancer, you
didn’t believe me. Now that she’s dead, you finally believe, right?”
The man remained silent, puffing on his cigarette one after another.
Rosalie turned on the television and on it, thetest trending news was being reported.
When Rosalie saw Edmond blocking the bomb for udia, she could no longer hold back her tears
and they finally burst out at that moment.
“You were so silly…”
