Chapter 734 They All Get What They Want

Seeing Cyrus in such pain.

Gray's expression changed for a moment. Then, she seemed to think of something and hardened her heart. "Cyrus, Mom can tell that you really like Miss Woods, right?"

Cyrus' body trembled.

He was about to deny it.

But then Gray said, "You are my son. Can't I tell you who you like? You want to be her bodyguard, don't you?"

"Mom, she didn’t find a new lover, as you said. I feel like our family owes her, so I want to protect her. I don't have any other intentions," Cyrus quickly denied.

"Why can't you have other intentions? Don't you like her? If you like someone, you should find a way to get them!" Gray frowned. "Darwin is with your sister, and you can be with Miss Woods. Slowly penetrate and impress her. Both you and your sister will eventually get what you want. Isn't that good? You shouldn't be in pain, and you shouldn't think of Mom and your sister as devils."

"That's enough!" Cyrus interrupted her words.

Gray looked at Cyrus with a complex expression and said, "Don't tell me you want to return, Darwin."

Before Cyrus could speak, Gray continued, "Do you think Miss Woods is nothing more than a beauty? She may seem gentle, but haven't you heard about her methods? Once he goes back, Fiona will surely find out that I poisoned Darwin, not to mention that we intentionally hid Darwin for so long."

Cyrus stiffened.

"Cyrus, do you want to lose Mom?" Gray raised her hand and gently stroked Cyrus' cheek.

Cyrus looked at Gray, and he was already in tears. Gray looked at him with a heart full of pain.

Her two children were the kindest in the world.

But because they were too kind, they had suffered so much since they were young.

Now that they finally had someone they liked, how could she make them suffer the pain of giving their loved ones up?

"I understand." Cyrus clenched his fists. "But you can't poison Darwin anymore, or I will tell Aura!"

Gray sighed helplessly. "I understand."

Cyrus didn't say anything more. He turned around and walked back.

Aura vaguely heard the argument between her brother and her mother.

She stood still and waited for Cyrus to come back and immediately approached him with some panic,

"Cyrus, what did you say to mom? You're not thinking of sending Blaise back, are you?"

"No," Cyrus replied coldly and walked straight upstairs.

As he passed Darwin's room, he heard Darwin lowering his voice and coughing.

Cyrus paused for a moment and went straight to the top floor.

It was still lively outside.

Those who were recently hostile to each other were now drinking and dancing together.

Cyrus quickly found Fiona in the crowd.

Burl, who claimed to be Fiona's brother, was dancing with her.

There was a sense of helplessness on her beautiful face, but she indulged Burl and didn't get angry at him.

Cyrus felt a hint of envy and jealousy.

"Miss Woods, please forgive my actions and the harm I have caused you. I will do my best to cure Darwin and send him back to you," Cyrus said, staring at her for a moment. Cyrus lowered his eye and said with great devotion.

After just talking to his mother, Cyrus was determined to send Darwin back.

But not now.

The poison in his body would definitely be discovered if he went to the hospital for a blood test.

He knew that his mother's actions were very malicious, but Cyrus didn't want to lose his mother, so he couldn't send Darwin back now.

The celebration lasted until after one o'clock in the morning.

The islanders cherished the place that had nurtured them, so when it ended, everyone worked together to clean up all the garbage on the beach.

Jimmy had a deep affection for the island.

After packing up, he took his wife and walked toward their previous house.

The house had been uninhabited for a long time and looked a bit rundown.

Jimmy held Jessica's hand and looked at the dark house, his eyes turning red. "By the time we come back next time, the little house will probably be demolished."

Usually, at this time, Jessica would gently comfort her husband.

But Jimmy waited for a moment, and his wife didn't seem to speak.

Jimmy suddenly felt aggrieved.

"Honey, why are you so absent-minded?"

Jessica snapped back to reality.

Throughout the evening, Jessica spent most of the time with Fiona.

This woman was really different from any wealthy woman she had ever met.

She was so gentle and friendly.

When Fiona talked about Jessica’s business, she even provided advice from a professional investor's perspective.

Unlike some people who would talk in a very complicated way, Fiona's suggestions were straightforward and easy to understand, which greatly inspired Jessica.

But occasionally, when nobody was talking to her, Fiona would space out, staring at a certain spot.
Her sadness couldn't be hidden.

Jessica knew that Fiona was missing her lover.

The more Jessica saw Aura like this, the more the image of Aura's fiancé became etched in her mind. The memories of Darwin overlapped more and more.

"No big deal. It's almost two in the morning. Let's go back to sleep. If you don't get enough sleep, you'll have a headache tomorrow, which will be troublesome when you travel by car and boat." Jessica tightened her grip on her husband's hand.

She and Jimmy were childhood sweethearts.

They had known each other since they could remember.
Over the years, they had never felt annoyed with each other, and they had always been deeply in love.

She put herself in Fiona's shoes.

If Jimmy suddenly disappeared, she wouldn't be able to go on living.

Jimmy noticed that his wife was deeply troubled. Worried, he listened to her, and the two of them walked back.

As they passed Cyrus's family inn, Jessica unconsciously took a second look, which deepened the doubts in her heart.

The Gray Family Inn was currently the biggest inn on the island.

Today, the old neighbors returned, and the Gray family was the only inn that did not receive the neighbors.

Gray said it was because they had been extorted by others on the island and were exhausted, so they didn't want to be disturbed before leaving the old house.

However, Jessica's impression is that Gray is not like that.

It was the people who hadn't left on the island that extorted her, not these old neighbors she had always been close to.

She looked at the other guesthouses not far away.

Because the revelers had just returned to rest, all of them were brightly lit.

Only on Gray's side was the front gate tightly closed, pitch black.

"Honey, what's wrong?" Jimmy saw Jessica standing still and gently asked, "You've had something on your mind all night. Has something happened?"

"Honey, if you discovered someone who seems to be a missing person from your friend's family, but he couldn't possibly be here. Would you tell your friend?" "
