Your Love Is My Weapon

Chapter 147

"Dead?"

The other person on the line replied with certainty, "Yes, he's dead…"

Jacob seemed almost unmoved. He hung up the phone after saying "I see".

Then he stopped his work and went to Xavier's office.

In Xavier's office, Ryan was sitting on the sofa and playing with toys quietly.

Even when Xavier was holding a document in his hand, his eyes were fixed on Ryan. Looking at

Ryan's fair and thin cheeks, long eyelashes, and sparkling eyes, he couldn't help but think of Arya…

However, at this moment, a knock on the door interrupted his muse. The loving gentleness on his face

was immediately replaced by coldness. The cold words came out of his mouth, "Come in."

Jacob walked in, glanced at Ryan, walked to the desk, and whispered, "Louis died of AIDS."

Xavier waved his hand, signaling Jacob to stop. He didn't want Ryan to hear it.

Louis was destined to end like this.

Xavier asked Jacob to leave the office with him. Xavier walked through the corridor to the window at

the end, took out a cigarette, and held it in his mouth. When he tried to light it, he found that he didn't

have a lighter on him.

He couldn't help but feel a little agitated.

Jacob took out his lighter and lit the cigarette for Xavier. Xavier puffed and said. "Go ahead."

From that day on, Xavier had Estella and Louis locked up, along with the butler.

Xavier had a good impression of the butler because he protected Arya at the beginning, but when he

knew that the butler was involved in the plan against Arya, he hated the butler who was as evil as

Estella.

The butler approached Ryan because he wanted to get close to Arya, hoping to gain her sympathy. He

wanted her to forgive and help him.

However, Arya was different from before. She would not easily forgive those who had hurt her.

So she didn't forgive the butler even when he knelt down in front of her and repented.

She was not the Virgin Mary.

So the butler's plan didn't work.

Now that Xavier knew that the butler was also involved in what had happened back then, he wouldn't

let him go.

Now the only left problem was how to deal with Estella. "We've locked her up for a few days. Now she's

almost half-dead…We can't just kill her without any reasons…"

Xavier looked up at Jacob and calmly said, "She killed Louis."

Jacob was stunned. "You mean, let her be the scapegoat?"

Xavier did not answer directly. He looked into the distance with a deep look in his eyes. Estella called

white black and let Arya take the punishment for Marshal. Why couldn't he charge Estella with murder?

Besides, Estella tried to kill Ryan.

Not only did he want Estella to go to jail, but also wanted her to be notorious.

Death was the lightest punishment for her. He would not let Estella die. He wanted her to suffer in

prison.

"What about the butler?"

Xavier was lost in his thoughts for a moment and said, "Just let him sink or swim on his own."

Now he couldn't even take care of himself. The best punishment was that he lived a miserable life.

Jacob nodded and said, "I'll do it right away."

After Jacob left, Xavier stood there for a long time. He looked so lonely as if he was the only person left

in the world.

"Do you miss my mommy?" Suddenly, a soft voice sounded behind Xavier.

Xavier turned around and saw Ryan standing behind him with his head up. Ryan looked a little proud.

Xavier walked over, lifted his chin, and looked at him. "Do you miss her?"

Ryan thought for a while and said, "Yes, but she will come back. She won't leave me alone."

Ryan was so confident.

Xavier held his hand. "Then we'll wait for her to come back…"

His voice sounded soft yet assertive.

The sun was setting. The twilight shone through the glass, pulling their shadows long.

Ryan looked up at Xavier and thought. 'Is he really my father?'

Jacob said that Xavier was his father and asked him to call Xavier father. In that way, Xavier would not

be so disappointed.

But he had promised Mom that he wouldn't call anyone Daddy so easily. Thus, he didn't do it. He

wanted to wait for her to tell him first.

***

In the Aqua Village by the sea, all the villagers lived on fishing. They believed in Poseidon, the god of

the sea.

On the far right side of the village, there was a tiled house, with a small yard in front of it. On the west

side of the yard, a few long bamboo poles were covered with flower vines. The purple-red flowers were

set off by dense green leaves, looking delicate and bright. They were just like a beautiful and colorful

satin if seen from afar.

In front of the courtyard, there was a small wooden square dining table with a few wooden stools

around it. An old couple was sitting there for dinner.

Madam Swift glanced into the room and sighed, "Joshua is so poor." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Mr. Swift felt a headache when it came to Joshua. They were old and had little time to take care of him.

Madam Swift leaned against her husband, "Do you think the girl Joshua saved can wake up?"

She had been unconscious for almost a month and had no reaction except for breathing.

At first, she saved the girl because she was beautiful. Then she felt that her grandson was already a

grown-up, but he hadn't married as he was not that smart. If she saved the girl, the girl could become

her grandson's wife, but now…The girl turned into a white elephant.

The girl was in a coma all the time. What should they do?

It was already hard for them to raise a grandson as they were old. They couldn't take care of a

vegetable even if they wanted to.

"We have saved her, anyway. So we'd better take care of her till she wakes up." The girl was still alive,

so they couldn't just throw her away.

Moreover, they were honest and kind people, and could not do anything against their conscience.

Madam Swift nodded. "I know. That's the only thing we can do now. Look at Joshua. He really likes the

girl. He's always staring at her on the side of the bed."

Mr. Swift looked up at his wife. "Don't think too much. She is so beautiful, and if she comes from a rich

family, she won't want to marry Joshua."

He knew what she was thinking as they had lived together for so long. However, although they saved

her, they wouldn't let her repay them with marriage.

Moreover, it was not known if she could wake up.

Madam Swift was embarrassed. "I'm just thinking about Joshua's future! He's demented, and nobody

wants to marry him. Moreover, we're not a rich family, so it's harder for him to get married. We're old.

How long can we take care of him?"

After a pause, Madam Swift sighed, "I'm just thinking. If that girl refuses, there is nothing I can do."

"Ask Joshua to come for dinner." Mr. Swift said helplessly, "He seems to be bewitched. He takes a few

looks at the girl every day."
