Chapter 284

A chill shot through Rebecca’s heart.

If just not being able to swim was enough for them to go this far, what else would they do? How much more ruthless could they be?‘ Rebecca thought.

She didn’t remember much from her childhood, but she did recall that night down by the riverside–a few adults were standing there, and she ran to tell them someone had fallen in, begging them to help.

They just shrugged and said, “I can’t swim.”

She couldn’t remember their tone, just that Jeffrey’s cries for help were growing weaker and weaker. Her heart was racing; she didn’t even hesitate–she just dove in and pulled him out.

Once they got back to shore, two black–clad bodyguards swooped in and took Jeffrey right out of her hands.

She hadn’t given it much thought back then, but looking back now, she realized they must have been with the Hanson family.

“Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?” Stanley said, knowing Rebecca wasn’t the type to ask random questions.

“It’s nothing,” Rebecca didn’t say much, feeling complicated inside. “I can’t do what you asked. I’m not a therapist–I can’t promise I’ll fix him.”

“He doesn’t need to be cured. Just stick with him for a month–no, a week is enough!” Stanley quickly changed his tune, seeing a chance. “After that, I’ll handle the rest.”

Rebecca nodded. “Okay.”

Surprise flashed in Stanley’s eyes. “Wait, you’re really agreeing?”

Rebecca nodded again. “Yeah.”

Stanley let out a sigh of relief, the tension finally leaving his shoulders.

Rebecca glanced toward the hospital bed, seeing Jeffrey still lying there without moving. “Is he this obsessed with promises just because Marcus and the others broke theirs?” she asked.

“That’s only part of it,” Stanley answered, laying it out for her. “The real turning point was after Andrew’s funeral. Jeffrey went to Uncle Marcus and asked him why he broke his word. Uncle Marcus told him that promises are just meant to be broken. He even said to Jeffrey that nobody in this world can truly keep a promise a hundred percent.”

Rebecca said nothing.

In some ways, every vow, every promise ends up being broken, sooner or later.

But breaking a promise should never come at the cost of someone’s life.
