NovelOnlineIn Taronia, when the news of Irene's passing reached the Woods family, it did not cause much of a ripple.
After all, Irene was only a servant. She was even an ex-servant.
Ever since Irene left, no one in the Woods family ever mentioned her anymore. It was Sam who received news of Irene's passing because Irene returned him the money that she owed.
"Dad, do you still remember the ugly nanny we had previously called Irene?" Sam brought this up during dinner.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Of course, I do. Lucas treated her quite well." Mr. Woods glanced at Sam. "Why are you bringing her up? Did she cto look for you?" Sam shook his head. "She's dead." The atmosphere at the dining table instantly changed. Although they did not care whether Irene lived or died, they were still shocked by this news.
"How did she die? She was doing just fine. Did she die of disease? I see she is still quite good at her work," Mrs. Woods found it a little unlucky. She secretly prayed that it was not sstrange disease.
"I don't know how she died. Today, someone transferred the money that she owedinto my account. They even said that they were paying on her behalf. Then, they toldshe died and thankedfor taking care of her previously." Sam felt a little sad when he said that.
"Someone paid on her behalf? Who was it? She didn't have any family, right?" "Maybe it was scharity organization!" Sam guessed.
At that moment, the butler also chimed in, "She also returned the money that she owed me." "Did the person that gave you the money also say that she died?" Sam asked.
The butler nodded. "They also said things like thank you for taking care of her." "I don't know how she died, but it's too sudden. I heard she even got into Turlington University!" Sam said pitifully, "I'm guessing it's not a sickness. What sickness would happen so quickly? I think it must be an accident." Mrs. Woods was relieved. "This child doesn't have a good life. It's good that she died. The earlier she died, she could have had a better life in the next life. So what if she got into Turlington University? When she graduates in the future, she still won't be able to find a job. With her looks, people would not want her to even be a nanny. Only our family would not care about it that much and hire her." "She's already dead. Why are you talking about this." Mr. Woods suddenly lost his appetite, so he left his seat.
Mr. Woods thought about how he has not contacted Lucas in a week. It was not because he did not contact Lucas, but because Lucas was not answering his calls.
Mr. Woods knew that there was a tdifference between Taronia and Edelweiss. Sometimes, the timing did not match, but Lucas would even return Mr. Woods' call if he saw missed calls. Mr. Woods was disappointed. However, no matter what, Lucas was his son. Even if Lucas did not answer his calls, he would still call him from tto time.
Just like that day. Lucas surely did not know about Irene's death.
Mr. Woods called Lucas, wanting to share this piece of news with him, but no one answered the call as usual.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOut of helplessness, Mr. Woods could only send Lucas a message.
About ten minutes after sending the message of Irene's death, Lucas' call came.
Mr. Woods did not expect that it would be Irene that would make his son call him on his own initiative.
"You said Irene died? What happened?" Lucas' voice was a little worried. He sounded extremely cold.
Mr. Woods replied, "I don't know the details. Sam was the one who told us. The butter too. Irene owed them money previously, right? She repaid them today. The person who paid on her behalf said that she had died. Perhaps it was by saccident! This is life. No one will know whether tomorrow will cor not..." Beep! Beep! Beep! Lucas hung up the call.
Irene was dead. She was actually dead.
When was the last tthey met? What was the last sentence they said to each other?
