Chapter 693: 226: Sentenced to death!_6
Mrs. Thompson turned her head away, unwilling to deal with Edward Thompson.
She had no sympathy for him at all.
He had brought everything onto himself.
“Didn’t you sever ties with us already?” Mrs. Thompson said coldly. “I don’t have a grandson like you, and you don’t have a grandmother like me!”
“Grandma, I know I was terribly wrong. I’ve hurt the people who loved me deeply. I’m not asking for your forgiveness now because I don’t deserve it,” Edward Thompson said. He had realized many things in the past few days, and he couldn’t stand his former foolish self, especially when he thought about his attitude towards Viola. He wished he could slap himself to death.
Mary Perryne’s eyes filled with tears, not knowing what to say. After a moment, she said, “You’re so confused! You had to hit the wall before you give up! Do you know how much worry your grandmother, your father, your brother, and I went through for you during these days?”
Edward Thompson knew it all.
Although he had done something wrong, when he learned that he had been framed by Sylvia Thompson, the first ones to stand up for him were his family members.
No one knew how Edward Thompson felt when he saw Mrs. Thompson and Mary Perryne at the detention center that day.
He thought his family would never care about him in this lifetime.
Even if he was wronged to death by Sylvia Thompson, his family wouldn’t give him a second glance.
After all, he brought it upon himself!
When he saw his mother and grandmother, Edward Thompson’s first thought was that they would scold him.
Scold him for being as foolish as a pig.
Mrs. Thompson just looked at him and said, “Tell Lawyer Bush what happened that day and don’t lie!”
Then she looked at Lawyer Bush, “Lawyer Bush, please. My good-for-nothing grandson might be a bit dull, but I can guarantee with my integrity that he would never commit murder!”
Mary Perryne didn’t say anything, but she kept crying.
At that moment, Edward Thompson suddenly understood the true meaning of blood ties and why his parents were trying so hard to make up for him after Viola returned.
It was because of love, and they were the ones who shared the same blood.
At this moment, as he stood in front of his family again, Edward Thompson felt nothing but shame.
Especially when he thought of Viola.
Viola was his only sister, who had suffered so much when she was young. When she was finally found by their parents, she had to endure the fake Sylvia Thompson, and then be despised by her own foolish brother.
Whenever he thought of that scene, Edward Thompson felt like suffocating.
Edward Thompson sighed, looking at Mary Perryne, “Mom, I’m sorry for making everyone worried about me.”
Mary Perryne then said, “As long as you’ve cleared your name, it’s fine. Bob, you can’t be as confused as before in the future!”
“I know,” Edward Thompson nodded.
After saying that, he continued to ask, “Is Dad okay?”
Mary Perryne nodded, “He’s fine.”
“And my sister?” Edward Thompson asked.
He hadn’t seen Viola since everything started.
He could understand Viola.
If he were her, he wouldn’t forgive himself either, let alone show up to see himself. In this lifetime, he would just pretend he never had a brother.
Although Edward Thompson knew that Viola would never forgive him, he couldn’t help but ask.
“You don’t have a sister!” Mrs. Thompson said coldly, “Viola is not your sister, she has nothing to do with you!”
Edward Thompson could not refute this, nor did he have the face to refute it.
As a brother, he was filled with guilt. He hoped that in the future, Viola could live a peaceful and happy life, and he would never see her again.
A moment later, Edward Thompson continued, “Grandma, Mom, knowing that everyone is fine, I can be relieved. I’ll go now.”
After saying that, Edward Thompson turned around and walked to the other side.
As Mary Perryne watched Edward Thompson’s retreating figure, her tears were almost uncontrollable.
Mrs. Thompson felt a little sad, and she held Mary Perryne’s hand, “Let’s go. This is the path he chose for himself. Since he chose it, even if it’s full of thorns, he should keep going!”
Everyone should pay the price for their actions.
If apologizing after discovering a mistake could restore everything back to normal, then there would be no need for judges in this world.
