Taking Back What My Sister Stole novel Chapter 147

Larissa put down the tablet, took Wesley’s arm, and gently comforted him: “Wes, don’t be sad. Maybe Priscilla just simply

likes that child.”

“Besides, you two are already divorced. You should let her go.”

“Juniper knows she was wrong. Can’t you give her another

chance?”

She was pleading on behalf of her friend.

She genuinely hoped Wesley would marry Juniper.

That way, she would have a better chance of being with Johan

in the future.

Wesley opened his eyes, but there was now a deep, unreadable calm in them.

But his heart hurt even more.

Elijah spoke cautiously: “Noah is in critical condition. Mrs. Carlton is already at the hospital.”

Noah needed a bone marrow transplant, and at the moment, only Wesley was a match.

This business trip would last half a month.

Larissa glared at Elijah in annoyance. “Wes is already divorced from her. Whatever happens to her has nothing to do with

him.”

“Wes, don’t go soft.”

She didn’t want Wesley to go back. It would be better if that child just died.

The boarding announcement sounded.

Wesley stood up.

He walked in the opposite direction.

“To the hospital.”

In the end, he still couldn’t harden his heart.

***

Although it was a close call this time, Noah was finally saved.

His small body was hooked up to machines, looking pitiful.

Priscilla stayed by his side the whole time, afraid that if she so much as blinked, he would relapse.

Suddenly, a shadow fell over her.

Wesley’s familiar voice sounded above her. “We need to talk.”

Priscilla looked up abruptly.

Wasn’t he supposed to be on a business trip?

Why was he here?

Her lips trembled as she tried to say something, but her throat was so dry that no words came out.

Wesley looked at the unconscious Noah, his tone indifferent. “Tell me, why must you save him?”

He wanted to confirm whether the man in her heart was really Luciano.

He wanted to know the truth.

Silence spread through the air.

It lasted so long that Wesley thought Priscilla would never speak.

Tears rolled down Priscilla’s face. Her voice was very soft and slow.

“Years ago, the place I lived in caught fire. Noah’s mother died in the flames trying to save me.”

“She was my savior.”

A life–saving grace should be repaid a hundredfold.

That was why she wanted to save the child.

Wesley was unmoved.

He only had to think for a moment to know Priscilla was lying.

Or perhaps, she wasn’t telling the whole truth.

She was hiding something.

He was very curious–if she wanted so badly to save Noah, why hide the truth?

“Priscilla, don’t you want to save him? Tell me the truth, and

I’ll agree to save him.”

Priscilla lowered her eyes, her fingers clutching the blanket so tightly her knuckles turned white.

The truth?

The truth was a murderous blade. If she spoke it, that blade would stab into her own body.

She would be in unbearable pain.

But for Noah, she was willing.

“Her name was Cecilia Zamora. She was abandoned at the orphanage gate when she was three, grew up there until she was seven. The orphanage director was a pervert who liked to bully little girls, so she ran away and wandered the streets for a long, long time.”

“Later, it was… I who took her in. At that time, I was learning perfumery from my teacher, so I brought her along. My teacher saw her talent and took her as a student too. We grew up together.”

“After graduating high school, my teacher fell seriously ill. She gave up going to college to stay home and care for my teacher. During that time, she was bullied, and it was Luciano who saved her. They fell in love and soon had a child.”

“After that was what I just mentioned–the flower shop caught fire. She died saving me. I escaped the fire, handled her and my teacher’s affairs, and went to the hospital to find the child, but Luciano had already taken him away, and Luciano had lost his memory.”

Speaking of those unbearable memories was like reliving the pain all over again.

But Wesley didn’t press further.

It was as if he accepted this explanation.

He pulled her up, not very gently. “Priscilla, if you dare lie to me, you’ll bear the consequences.”

Priscilla’s heart trembled. She forced herself to meet Wesley’s gaze and replied softly, “Okay.”

Wesley let go of her. His face showed no particular

expression, but he emphasized, “The agreement about the child still stands. No backing out.”

“Okay.”

Whatever Wesley said, Priscilla agreed.

As long as he promised to save Noah.

Wesley was about to leave. As soon as he moved, his shirt was grabbed.

He looked down.
