Chapter 140 All Had Been Lost
As if not hearing, there was still no intention to talk to Ava.
Sighing, Ava said, "If you don't plan to talk to me, then I'll leave."
"How can you be so indifferent? Your son has broken ribs in a car accident," Liam finally spoke, full of sarcasm.
"Now, I come here to visit you!" Ava explained.
"Yes! At this time, at this moment, you visited me." Liam wouldn't talk to Ava like this. He was really angry and frustrated.
People always wanted to find someone to rely on at their most vulnerable times, but Liam couldn't find such a person.
"Liam! Do you know who you're talking to?" Ava's tone was stern. "After so many years, you should understand my predicament. Even if I'm in a difficult situation, I still try to help you as much as possible. I've done what I can. I'm sorry for you, but you don't have the right to talk to me like this!"
After the reprimand, Liam's mind cleared slightly.
Liam turned to look at Ava in front of him. Ava was so noble and elegant. Even though she was in her fifties, the marks of time on her face were not deep. She still looked exquisite and beautiful. Ava was indeed doing well; her remarriage was a good choice.
"Mom, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have talked to you like that." Liam softened his voice, just like before.
"Let it go!" Ava sighed. "You're upset because of the injury, I understand. I just saw a brief piece of news. The street wasn't narrow, and there weren't many cars at the time. How did you suddenly have a car accident? Did something happen?"
Liam didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Mom, what's your relationship with Rosen?"
Ava was taken aback. "Why do you ask?"
"Nothing, just that you introduced Rosen, but I don't know much about him."
"We met by chance before; I helped Rosen once; he owes me a favor. I heard he's quite famous as a perfumer abroad, and since you had some trouble, I asked him to help you. Is your accident related to him?"
Ava, with life experience, quickly linked two things together when Liam asked. She wondered if they were related.
Liam still didn't answer, just chuckled. "So, you don't really know Rosen either. You introduced Rosen to me?"
Liam's words seemed to blame Ava, which made Ava a little unhappy. She said with a stern face, "What do you mean by that? Are you blaming me? I introduced him to help you. Did he help you solve the problem? Does he have the ability? If so, that's enough! Do I have to be friends with him to introduce him to you?"
"Yes, he can help. He's really good! He even helped my fiancée!"
Liam sighed and looked up at the ceiling, feeling ridiculous.
The person Ava introduced ended up messing around with Vivian. Liam regretted it. He should have refused at the time and should not have let Liam and Vivian go to Tedia together!
Yes, Tedia!
These days, Liam lay in bed and thought through everything. He pondered, 'It seems clear that Rosen has had his sights set on Vivian for quite some time.'
At that time, Liam saw it and even advised Vivian, but Vivian remained impervious to persuasion. Liam didn't know how long Liam and Vivian had been together. It truly underscored his valor that he had flown all the way to accompany Vivian and protected Vivian so carefully.
Vivian was often away, returning very late, and sometimes went somewhere unknown, probably with this Rosen. Liam felt disgusting just thinking about it!
Liam's words made Ava pause. Ava thought for a moment. "You're talking about Vivian?"
"Do I have a second fiancée?" Liam smiled bitterly.
Ava bluntly asked, "Haven't you had one?"
Liam fell silent.
Ava didn't press Liam but confirmed her thoughts. "Are you saying that Rosen had a sexual relationship with Vivian, and Vivian cheated?"
The words was direct, and Liam felt ashamed. "Mom."
"Holding onto your dignity when everything is lost is futile," Ava said bluntly, "So, are you blaming me for introducing Rosen to you?"
Although Liam had thought so before, when he calmed down, he realized that he couldn't blame Ava.
After all, no one knew this would happen, and it was true that without Rosen's help, it would have been difficult to get through that difficulty.
"No, It's not your fault," Liam said.
Nodding, Ava said, "You're still clear-headed. If you blame me, then there's really no hope for you! Liam, I never approved of Vivian from the beginning. Vivian is not someone who can go through difficulties with you. Even without Rosen now, Vivian will still betray you if she meets someone else one day. You should be glad you found out early, and it's good to leave in time."
Ava didn't feel any regret. After all, from the beginning, she didn't approve of Vivian, but Liam liked her, so she tacitly agreed. Now that she had betrayed, it was not a bad thing to separate.
"But Vivian is pregnant with my child."
In the end, there were still emotions involved. Liam had truly loved Vivian for so many years, and if they really had to part ways, he would still be reluctant.
"Your child?" Ava laughed mockingly as if hearing a joke, "With a woman like her, why are you so sure that the child in her belly will definitely be yours?"
In fact, Liam had thought about it, but on this point, Liam was still willing to believe Vivian.
"No, I'm sure. I calculated it; Vivian didn't know Rosen when she got pregnant; the child is mine, I'm sure!" Liam said.
"Are you sure she didn't have a sexual relationship with anyone else before? Vivian is fickle. Besides, we don't even know if she's really pregnant!" Ava's words were direct, making people uncomfortable. "Besides, even if it's yours, so what? Do you want a child to have such a mother in the future, to be ridiculed? If you want a child, can't you find a more suitable woman? Do you really have to choose Vivian?"
"If you had listened to me, you would have married Evelyn from the beginning, and it wouldn't have turned into this mess!" Ava couldn't help but say.
Frowning, Liam said, "Didn't I say not to mention Evelyn!" Pausing, he muttered softly, "I've been in the hospital for these two days, and Evelyn hasn't even come to see me. What's good about her?"
