Unforgettable love

Chapter 856:.

Boyce drove up to the old mansion, and by the time he arrived the sky had darkened.

Jasmine was holding Joshua in her arms and playing with him in the living room, and as she entered, Boyce immediately asked her about what had happened today.

“You didn’t know? It’s exactly like I said.” replied Jasmine.

Boyce reached out, wanting to grab Joshua too, but Jasmine slapped his hand away, “Did you wash your hands?”. Boyce had nothing to say about it.

Jasmine repeated, “You need to wash your hands.”

“Then I don’t want to hold him anymore.”

Boyce sat down on the couch and Jasmine walked over to him, “I’m totally baffled when I saw the box full of money. Fearing it would overwhelm you, I really don’t know what kind of trouble would ensue if it wasn’t for Dolores’ idea.”

He looked at Boyce earnestly, “Have you offended anyone?” Or else why would such a thing happen?

Boyce said without any tinge of emotion, “I’ll take care of it.”

Jasmine continued, “Well, anything goes as long as you’re aware of your role. Well, when we have dinner later, remember to thank Dolores. I couldn’t get through to you on the phone, and at the time I had no idea, and it was Dolores who saved me from that predicament. Otherwise, when push came to shove, things could deteriorate in an unimaginable way.” Boyce nodded.

With a creak, the door to the room opened, and with Andrew and Amanda flanking on either side, they helped Jayden in from the outside. His body was getting worse every day, and walking on his own was an ordeal for him now. There had to be someone who could help him walk today.

Boyce saw that the two boys were having a hard time holding the old man, so he got up and walked over to them to help, “Let me help you get settled on the couch.”

Jayden simply nodded.

He didn’t last long on the couch as well, as exhaustion caught up with him. Boyce proceeded to help him back to his room.

When it was time for dinner, Dolores prepared all the dishes and brought them into the house.

He seemed to lack appetite and appeared to be uncomfortable lying in bed. Dolores placed the dishes on the table next to the bed and said in a soft voice, “Let me call the doctor.”

Jayden sounded weak, “No need. Just go…mind your own business.”

It wasn’t the first time Dolores had seen him tortured by illness, and she knew that no one could carry that pain for him as well. It made her feel wretched and sorry.

Her dinner was watched by Jessica and Coral, so she left the room to call the doctor to come check on Jayden.

As she watched Jayden’s condition worsen, her fear grew by the day, though the dominant emotion that gripped her was sadness. There was a starry sky tonight, and she raised her head to gaze up at the sky.

“Why are you sitting here?”

Matthew came in from outside and Dolores turned her head and saw him. Then she got up and walked over to him as she said softly, “I saw Daddy in a lot of pain, so I called Doctor Jason.”

Matthew patted him, “I got it. Get in the house, it’s cold out here.”

Dolores nodded and went inside. Matthew had gone to where Jayden was staying.

Whenever Jayden was in pain, he prevented anyone from going in the house. He wasn’t interested in the idea of showing his weakness in front of anyone.

Only Matthew was the exception.

Dolores found herself without an appetite, but still she settled into a chair by the dining room table casually and put some food on the children’s plates.

She wanted to encourage them to eat more.

Boyce began, “I hear from Jasmine that you’ve been a great help. Thank you very much.”

Dolores took a sip of water and replied, “I didn’t do much. And besides, do you have to be at the ceremony with me?”.

Boyce’s face remained solemn, “If it weren’t for Jasmine’s timely intervention, the matter would not have been resolved so easily.”

If he was asked to resign and be investigated, things would drag out in such a way that he would have no immediate solution. He couldn’t be as carefree as he was now, when he had just gone through some paperwork.

“You have to take care of yourself. This business isn’t something that happened randomly, is it?”

Jasmine could sense that something wasn’t right about the whole thing, not to mention Dolores, who was much older. Naturally, she could sense that someone must have set her up on purpose.

Boyce replied, “I know. I’ll try to get it straightened out as soon as possible.”

Then the doctor arrived and administered some painkillers to Jayden. Matthew was always by his side and, before Boyce left, he went in to take a look and told Jayden that he was going to leave. After a slight verbal exchange with Matthew, he left the room.

One night before the Mid-Autumn party, something happened at the police station.

Coming from what was apparently Michael’s email; all of the coworkers received a video that captured the contents of Michael and Wendy’s conversation that was recorded by Boyce.

The police station was already buzzing with Boyce allegedly taking bribes, and all the evidence was now pointing to Michael.

Michael was completely baffled by what had happened.

He had never sent any emails, so how could that video be leaked from his own account?

He cursed under his breath, “Am I a fucking idiot, why would I hurt myself?”.noveldrama

Who used his email to send that video – was it Wendy, or Boyce?

Those two were the only ones who made him suspicious because they were directly involved in this affair. By leaking this video, Wendy would have gained nothing from it, and to make matters worse her father would lose face for it in addition to having nothing to gain for her as well. She may not be the one who did it.

Boyce was the only one left worthy of suspicion.

With the release of this video, it solidified the fact that he was the one being framed here.

However, how did Boyce get this video? Did someone videotape him and Wendy in an encounter and want to suck up to him by gifting him this video? Or did Boyce discover the existence of this video on his own?

Michael felt his brain melting into a huge, colossal tangle. He couldn’t make sense of the current situation.

In the end, if this matter became public knowledge, he would have nothing to gain and everything to lose.

“Michael.” Officer Sharp approached and said, “Mr. Shawn asked you to come visit him in his office.”
