Eldon asked, "Me?"
At that moment, even Eldon was stunned.
In the few months that Yvonne was there, Eldon got the best doctor to treat her injuries and allowed her to rest well to prevent miscarriage. He had already exhausted all the ways to cut Yvonne's losses to the minimum.
After taking care of her for a few months, he was about to send her back. However, Yvonne unexpectedly really went missing.
At that moment, Eldon's face was as white as a sheet.
Originally, he knew that if he were caught by Sebastian again, he would be as good as dead.
He never wanted to beg for mercy.
However, the people he cared about were coming over for a visit for a few days.
There was a loud thud. Eldon kneeled before Sebastian. "Mister Ford, no matter how you deal with me, I won’t have any complaints. I only ask for one thing. Just one thing..."
"Speak!"
"Spare... Spare my wife...and my child...," Eldon said with great difficulty.
Sebastian was speechless.
It was after a long while that he asked, "You ...have a wife and a child?"
Eldon nodded. "It had already been so many years, and I had never properly spent time with my wife and my son, especially my son. He is already all grown up, but I can count with one hand the number of times I have spent with him. I had been herding cattle on my own in the plains. My son had never been here before. This is his first time here, but I was caught by you. Mister Ford, it doesn't matter if I die, but please don't get my wife and son involved. Is that alright?"
At that juncture, Eldon finally spoke the truth.
Sebastian sneered. "I have never gotten innocent people involved. Let’s go!"
"Really?" Eldon asked.
Sebastian looked at Eldon again and said," Eldon Carver. Forty years old this year."
Eldon was speechless.
"You have been orphaned since childhood. Before you turned eight, you had been relying on picking up trash for a living.
One day, you were unintentionally saved by a person. He bathed you and let you put on pretty clothes. After that, he brought you to the hospital."
"In that hospital, you donated a bag of blood to a newborn child when you were around seven years old. It was just one bag of blood. You didn't feel that it was a big deal as you were a homeless person.
However, what you didn't expect was that that family kept feeding you since then."
"When you turned nine, that family even sent you to a school nearby for you to learn how to read. They originally didn’t plan to let you be a high-achieving student.
However, your grades were surprisingly great."
