Chapter 197 Return to the Green Family
Cynthia glanced at Lorenz in confusion and found he was a little depressed.
Lorenz said, “When Alex pulled back from offering a kidney for your mother, I went to the Green family
to find another suitable person because I don’t want you to have a kidney transplant. Laura took the
initiative to tell me she was willing to have the transplant operation and save your mother because your
mother saved her parents back then. But unfortunately… She couldn’t make it in time.”
Cynthia was also silent. It was hard for Cynthia not to say fate had its will. Initially, Alex had already
agreed, and the surgery was only four hours away, but she didn’t expect her mother to commit suicide.
It was only.
four hours away!
Lorenz looked at Cynthia with an expression of hesitation. After a while, he said, “Cynthia, Alston didn’t
make a big mistake. Everything he did is for you. You can take this opportunity to relax in Coast City.
After you return to Fort, do you want to try to forgive him?”
“I know all he did is for me.” Cynthia quietly watched the passing scenery outside the window. The car
was hushed, and only the sound of “aha” from the two babies could be heard.
In the beginning, she was too emotional and couldn’t forgive Alston’s behavior. Now, she calmed down
and understood his painstaking efforts, but she still couldn’t accept his stubbornness and
overbearingness. He always forcibly interfered with her thoughts, which she couldn’t take.
Maybe after returning from Coast City, she would comprehend him, and time would smooth these
things out.
But now, at least now, she couldn’t forgive him.
Lorenz saw her thoughts and couldn’t persuade her anymore but sighed. He had already tried his best,
and
the rest was up to Alston.
After Shen Cynthia, Alston was very depressed. After seeing the client, he hurried to have a meeting.
Everyone in the company was in fear.
The manager of the accounting department stood at the door. Hearing Alston’s roar in the office, he
couldn’t help but shudder. Seeing Lloyd approaching, he quickly stopped him. “Mr. Evans… I want to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtask you something.”
Lloyd knew what he wanted to ask just by looking at his expression. “Mrs. Smith has returned to her
mother’s home, and Mr. Smith is in a terrible mood. During this period, don’t make mistakes in your
work. Otherwise, no one can bear Mr. Smith’s anger.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud noise came from the office, and the sales department manager
came out timidly. Seeing the two at the door, he almost cried.
The accounting manager became even more nervous. Then Alston’s cold and stern voice came from
the office. “Lloyd, ask someone to change the desk and let the accounting manager come over.”
Llyod gave the accounting manager a sympathetic look and entered the office first.
Alston stood in front of the floor–to–ceiling windows with his back to the door. As soon as Lloyd came
in, he saw a corner of the desk had collapsed. Then he couldn’t help but wonder how hard Alston hit
the desk and broke it. After all, the desk was from solid wood.

He made a call and asked someone to change the desk. Then he left the office and let the accounting
manager in. Soon, Alston’s angry voice came from inside again.
After hearing Alston’s roar, cold sweat ran down Lloyd’s forehead, and he couldn’t help but pray in his
heart that Cynthia could come back as soon as possible. After all, no one dared to approach such a Mr.
Smith!
Cynthia naturally didn’t hear his heartfelt voice. When she got off the plane with Lorenz, Lorenz
answered the phone. Then he said with shaking hands, “Grandpa, grandma, and my parents are
waiting at the door. Don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous.”
After hearing this, she looked at Lorenz’s trembling arms because of excitement and bit her lower lips.
She couldn’t help but think, “It’s you who is too nervous.”
Initially, she was pretty relaxed, but after hearing what he said, she couldn’t help becoming nervous.
When the two trembling people left the airport gate, they saw two conspicuous black Bentleys parked.
Besides the cars stood a middle–aged man and woman and a gray–haired couple.
Cynthia paused suddenly. Only then did she realize what “too close to home” meant. She suddenly
dared not go up to them.
Lorenz took two steps and found she hadn’t followed. Turning around and seeing her standing there
nervously, Lorenz walked over. “Cynthia, what’s wrong?”
“Lorenz, I’m nervous. I don’t know how to face my uncle, aunt, and grandparents. I don’t know what to
say. I…
I’m so nervous! I didn’t buy gifts. I just came here without buying anything.”
Lorenz held her hand with gentle eyes. “Don’t worry. You are the apple of their eyes. They love you.
Besides,
Keller, Desmond and you are the best presents.”
As he spoke, he took Cynthia’s hand and walked straight to them.
However, the closer she got, the more she felt relieved. The faces of the elders came into her view.
They looked very kind and gentle. Seeing Cynthia and the babies, their eyes sparkled with surprise.
Before Cynthia and Lorenz approached, the four walked forward. Old Mrs. Green took Cynthia’s hand,
and tears welled up in her eyes. “You must be Cynthia. You’re so beautiful, so similar to your mother,
especially the almond eyes, the same as hers. Good girl, good girl!”
These warm words made Cynthia’s eyes turn red, and she couldn’t help but say, “Grandma!”
“Good!” Old Mrs. Green responded, and Old Mr. Green also came over. He looked earnest, but his
eyes were remarkably gentle. “Cynthia, I’m your grandpa.”
Cynthia greeted them sweetly, one by one, and the two older people burst into tears with excitement.
Mr. Green and Mrs. Green’s eyes were also red.
Keller, in Lorenz’s arms, was snatched by Mrs. Green. She hugged the cute Keller for a while and said,
“This is the little princess of our Green family. So cute. She must be a beauty when she grows up.”

The four surrounded Cynthia and the babies and inquired about their conditions. Lorenz was left alone.
He scratched his head with a somewhat helpless smile.
After returning to the Green family, Cynthia couldn’t help but feel shocked about the house. It really
lived up to the name of a century–old family. It stood on a place where every inch was at a high cost.
Inside the quaint, charming courtyard were exquisite bridges and babbling brooks.
Lynn grew up in such a gorgeous environment. However, she came to the strange Fort alone and was
deceived by others. To avoid Beck, she lived in that poor village. As soon as Cynthia thought of these,
she couldn’t help but feel distressed and want to ask her mother how she bore the suffering.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCynthia’s eyes were red.
Old Mrs. Green held Cynthia’s hand and introduced the yard, “Your mother asked others to help her
build the bridge with flowing waters. She often sat on the bridge and looked at the koi in the stream for
a whole day…
That piece of lawn… She often flew kites in spring there. The kites were made by your grandfather and
herself. Although the kites often looked not pretty, she liked them very much…”
Old Mrs. Green pointed to the flowers and trees while she talked about Lynn’s childhood stories.
Cynthia seemed to be able to imagine how little Lynn played in this quaint courtyard. The more she
thought, the more depressed she was.
“Cynthia, we wait for your mother to recover from her illness and ask where she wants to live. If she
wants to stay in Fort, your grandfather and I will also settle there and build an identical yard.” Old Mrs.
Green said her
thoughts excitedly. Cynthia’s eyes were getting wider, and she looked at Lorenz behind her in surprise.
Lorenz quietly took her hand and shook his head at her. Then Cynthia didn’t speak anything.
Old Mrs. Green expressed her vision for the future with gestures, and Mr. Green also added a few
ideas from time to time. Seeing this, Lorenz, Mr. Green, Mrs. Green, and Cynthia stood behind with
faces full of sadness.
When Cynthia was free, she immediately found Lorenz and asked, “What’s going on? Don’t grandpa
and grandma know?”
With a face full of depression and worries, Lorenz said, “I didn’t tell them, and I only told my parents.
We want to hide it from our grandparents. They always doted on your mother and treated her like a
pearl. They are too old. If they know your mother has passed away, they might not be able to bear the
blow.”
Cynthia lowered her head and remained silent. She experienced the feeling of being so sad that she
was about to die when she faced her mother’s death. She fainted several times, not to mention her
elderly grandparents.
“My mother is going to be buried tomorrow. Do we have to hide it from them?” Cynthia asked.
Lorenz hesitated for a moment. Then he nodded. “My parents also agreed. We can’t tell them.
Spending their old age with hope was better than knowing the truth and living in sorrow.”
The two deliberately hid in the stairwell. After speaking, as Lorenz and Cynthia were about to go back
to the living room, they found Old Mrs. Green standing at the door, and they suddenly became nervous.
