Delayed Regrets: He Regretted Only After Her Death-Chapter 110: The Linden Family Won’t Let You Off

Chapter 110: Chapter 110: The Linden Family Won’t Let You Off

"Hector Chaucer, your injury is more serious than mine, really, you don’t have to worry about me." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Don’t move around."

The palm of Hector Chaucer seemed to have a controlling power.

With a slight lift, Tiana Linden indeed dared not move.

The driver, Gordon Lowell, glanced back at the Family Head, and said to Tiana with a smile:

"Miss Linden, don’t worry, to the Family Head, this kind of injury is just routine."

"It’s like a mosquito bite, insignificant."

"The most serious time the Family Head was injured, a bullet passed through his abdomen, almost fatal."

"And he wasn’t even worried."

Is there really such a thing?

Although Tiana Linden knew Hector Chaucer hadn’t had it easy in the Chaucer family.

But she had never heard that he suffered such a severe gunshot wound.

She knew Hector Chaucer had sustained many injuries since childhood.

Mrs. Chaucer would often beat him or soak him in cold water, deliberately giving him a cold or fever just to see Mr. Chaucer.

For him, being sick and injured was probably really routine.

Suddenly, Tiana Linden felt that this tough and resolute man carried so much unknown sorrow and pity behind him.

All the world’s cruelty and indifference had fallen upon him.

Yet he was so loyal and righteous.

Just because when he was six, she jumped into the pool to save him, and she hadn’t even succeeded.

He actually lived up to the saying, repay kindness with a spring when given a drop of water.

Soon, the swelling on the ankle went down.

"It might swell up again later."

"In half an hour, I’ll apply a compress on it again."

Tiana Linden moved her right leg.

Sure enough, it wasn’t as painful as before.

She quickly said, "Gordon, drive to the hospital, Hector Chaucer’s hand injury needs proper bandaging."

Gordon Lowell was not surprised, "Miss Linden, usually for minor injuries like this, the Family Head handles them himself."

Hector Chaucer, sitting beside her, looked at her and said indifferently, "If you’re worried about me, you can take care of me for a few days."

Before Tiana Linden could react, Hector Chaucer raised his injured right hand and said again:

"After all, I’m injured, doing things myself is a bit difficult."

Without a second thought, Tiana Linden readily agreed, "Then I’ll find time to go over to your place and try to take care of you for a few more days."

At least until his right hand can move freely.

Gordon Lowell, driving, could barely hold back his laughter.

The Family Head truly is an old fox.

Pit after pit was dug.

These minor injuries to him are like mosquito bites, insignificant.

Yet in front of Miss Linden, the Family Head pretended to be soft.

Gordon followed Hector Chaucer since he was eleven and still in school.

At that time, his mother, Mrs. Lowell, was seriously ill, and the family had no money.

The young Family Head, with a fractured arm, went to the hospital himself.

Seeing him kneeling at the hospital entrance with a sign, despite his own injury, the Family Head decisively helped him.

Later, the Family Head supported him through his studies.

He was determined and excelled in everything.

After undergoing many trainings, he returned early to assist the Family Head.

He followed the Family Head for twenty-two years.

Never had he seen the Family Head so attentive to any girl.

This is using all the thirty-six strategies.

If you ask Gordon, Miss Linden is just too naive.

The Family Head planned every step, yet she was completely unaware.

What a story of the big bad wolf and the little white rabbit.

Interesting!

So interesting!

...

Hospital.

Sharon Sullivan, lying on the hospital bed, was handcuffed and leg-chained.

Hector Chaucer’s kick broke three of her ribs.

At the same time, Sharon Sullivan was criminally detained for intentional injury.

Soon, Sharon Sullivan would face charges and accusations from both father and son of the Linden Family.

Daniel Linden stood in front of Sharon Sullivan’s hospital bed.

This woman who stayed by his father’s side for thirty years, how scheming she was.

Before the truth came out, Daniel Linden thought Sharon Sullivan silently sacrificed for his father, deserving respect.

He was willing to fulfill her with his father.

Now it seemed, he was truly foolish.

No wonder Tiana said he wasn’t qualified to be his mother Wanda Townsend’s son.

He was just a bastard recognizing a thief as his mother, a beast.

Now, Tiana had broken off with the Linden Family.

His father, James Linden, lay seriously injured in the ICU.

Daniel Linden wished he could kill Sharon Sullivan.

He clenched his fists tightly, eyes full of anger.

"Why did you hurt my dad, hurt Tiana?"

"Hasn’t our Linden Family suffered enough at your hands?"

If it weren’t for Sharon Sullivan and Vivian Linden, he wouldn’t have denied his own sister, much less sent her to prison.

He hated his foolishness, but he also hated the scheming old woman before him.

They were always deceived by her disguise.

"Miserable?"

With three broken ribs, Sharon Sullivan lay there, not daring to move.

Moving even a little was painful, hiss...

But when emotions surged, she couldn’t help but tremble all over, "Are you more miserable than me?"

Daniel Linden: "My dad and I haven’t been good enough to you and Vivian Linden?"

Sharon Sullivan gritted her teeth and shouted angrily: "You should ask your dad what he did to my son thirty-three years ago!"

A puzzled Daniel Linden listened as Sharon Sullivan continued:

"Thirty-three years ago, James Linden ran over a little boy."

"To cover up his crime, he disposed of the boy’s body, erased all surveillance, paid off connections."

"To this day, that little boy’s bones are lost, he was only one and a half, just learned to call ’mom’."

"Have you ever thought about how pitiful that boy and his family were?"

The hatred in Sharon Sullivan’s eyes made Daniel Linden feel both unfamiliar and terrified.

This isn’t the Aunt Sullivan he knew.

He seemed to have guessed something, "Are you that little boy’s mother?"

Sharon Sullivan responded to Daniel Linden with a burst of laughter:

"Ha, ha, ha, ha..."

"This is not the end; this is just the beginning."

"All of you from the Linden Family must die, every one of you."

"I want you all to taste the pain of separation from loved ones and the ruin of losing your home."

Daniel Linden was too shocked to speak.

He couldn’t believe his father would do such a thing.

After a long time, as if trying to vindicate James Linden, he said, "...Even so, you can’t do harm to others. Tiana and Daisy, they’re innocent."

Sharon Sullivan glared at him with anger:

"You rich folks, speaking of benevolence and morality, but deep down you’re rotten to the core."

"Those who harmed Tiana and her mother, it was never me or Vivian, it was you all."

"Without that blood relationship, you could send Tiana and her mother to hell."

"You want to both be a player and act innocent, hypocritical, disgusting!"

This criticism left Daniel Linden speechless.

He said nothing more.

As he turned to leave, he asked the guarding officer, "Please keep a close watch!"

Upon exiting the ward, Daniel Linden encountered Vivian Linden and the police officer beside her.

The two exchanged a glance.

Vivian’s eyes were filled with guilt, meeting Daniel’s eyes full of anger.

"Brother!"

"Don’t call me brother."

Daniel looked towards the officer beside Vivian, "Why were her handcuffs removed?"

The officer replied, "Sharon Sullivan confessed. In the Linden-Grant Pharmaceuticals confidential theft case, Vivian Linden was aware but not a participant, which doesn’t meet the requirements for criminal detention."

This matter, Daniel Linden needed to consult a lawyer about.

He wouldn’t let Vivian Linden off so easily.

Vivian Linden was brought into Sharon Sullivan’s hospital room.

Sharon Sullivan had secured a chance to speak with Vivian alone.

Seeing how severely Sharon was injured, Vivian felt great pain.

"Mom, let’s not take revenge anymore. Brother’s already dead, I don’t want to see you continue down this path of obsession."

Sharon Sullivan’s eyes were filled with tears, "Vivian, it’s my fault, for always letting you live in false lies."

Vivian shook her head, "Mom, don’t say sorry, I know brother’s death caused you immense pain."

Sharon interrupted:

"Vivian, listen to me."

"Framing Tiana, stealing the Linden-Grant Pharmaceuticals research secrets, it was all done by me alone."

"I didn’t involve you in anything. I’ve also clearly explained to the police. I’m going to prison."

"This is some savings from mom, not money from James Linden. Take it, leave Veridia, leave The Linden and Grant Families."

"They won’t let you have it easy; go to another city and live well."

The bank card was thrown onto the bed by Vivian, "I don’t want you to go to prison; if anyone should, it should be me."

Sharon laughed bitterly, "I stabbed someone, I can’t escape legal responsibility."

Saying this, Sharon wiped Vivian’s tears.

"Vivian, be honest with me. That time when Sixth Young Master Chaucer had Tiana’s daughter thrown into the river, you saved her, didn’t you?"

"Mom, Daisy is just a child. Even if we want revenge, we can’t be so cruel to a child."

That time, in order to stay by Aiden Grant’s side and sow discord between him and Tiana, she made Daisy allergic to peanuts.

Daisy almost died.

Vivian already felt very guilty.

Over the years, hatred had driven her mother to lose her reason.

She lived in fear every day.

Afraid her false identity as a Linden would be exposed at any moment.

If she couldn’t take revenge, she and her mother would have to live alongside James and Daniel Linden as a family.

How warm that would be!

"I knew it, you’ve been kind since you were little."

"Mom, we were wrong, we’ve really done too many wrong things."

"Vivian, there’s something you must know, you are not my biological daughter."

Back then, knowing James Linden liked daughters,

Sharon Sullivan lied to James, claiming she was pregnant.

A year later, she found James again with Vivian.

Because of Vivian’s presence, James was willing to let her stay by his side.

But she was never pregnant.

"Vivian, I’m sorry, mom actually kidnapped you."

"You should have had a happy family, with parents who loved you. It’s all my fault, I tormented you for revenge."

Deep down, Sharon wasn’t entirely evil.

She had always felt guilty to Vivian.

She was also a good mother.

It was James Linden who destroyed everything.

Hearing all that Sharon said, Vivian couldn’t imagine.

James Linden wasn’t her biological father, and now even Sharon wasn’t her real mother?

"Vivian, your parents passed away long ago, you lived with your grandmother."

Vivian thought it was too absurd, too ridiculous!

"Mom, you’re joking with me, how could I not be your biological daughter?"

"Vivian, leave Veridia. The Linden and Grant Families despise you, they won’t let you have it easy."

Coming out of the hospital, Vivian’s head was filled with Sharon’s words.

She was actually a child abducted by Sharon.

So now, where should she go from here?

The father and brother who loved her most despised her.

Even her closest mother only saw her as a tool for revenge.

Tiana was indeed unfortunate.

And how was she any less unfortunate?

The world was vast, yet Vivian didn’t know where to go.

Eventually, she ended up outside James Linden’s hospital room.

Daniel Linden was exhausted and worn, keeping watch outside the ICU.

Seeing Vivian, Daniel wished he could kill her.

Vivian was genuinely concerned, "Brother, how’s dad?"

Daniel gritted his teeth, "You’re not a daughter of the Linden family. Don’t think that just because Sharon Sullivan confessed, our family will let you off."
