Chapter 115

What kind of heartbreaking truth is hidden in it?

After a moment of silence, Bailey said, “Vero, since he's from Hallsbay, and since you're planning to take a trip back here, take some time to meet him. He has the right to know that the kid exists, and saving Zephyr is his responsibility as his father.”

Veronique let out a soft sigh before saying gloomily, “I'll think about it. Zephyr has been thinking of me as his aunt all these years, I... I don't know if he can accept the truth. This is all my fault. To protect the Revelle family's reputation, I allowed my grandpa and my dad to tell the public that the kid was my sister's. Bay, I really regret it.”

Bailey did not know what to say either.

Whose shoes should she put herself into to console Veronique?

Should she say that they were right to do that?

Yet, the mother and the son saw each other every day. How ridiculous was it for Veronique to hear her own son call her his aunt?

Should she say that they had done wrong since the start?

That would only make Veronique feel even more remorseful.

“My dear, you'll have to close an eye on this. You're Zephyr's emotional support. What is he going to do if you collapse like this?”

“Yes. Every time I hit a dead end, I'd think about you in the past. It's then I'll realize that my pain and misery are nothing in comparison to yours. Bay, I'm so glad that I can be your friend. Being friends with you is the luckiest thing that has happened to me in this life of mine.”

Bailey could not help but chuckle at that. “Perhaps mothers are meant to be strong. I used to be a naive girl who could do nothing but let her stepmother and stepsister bully her. After having Zayron and Susan, I finally know what responsibility is. They're the reason I've been working so hard all these years. Fortunately, God was kind enough to let the old Bailey turn over a new leaf. Vero, you'll be able to do that one day, too.”

“All right. I'll heed your words.”

After ending the call, Bailey stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window for a few more minutes before turning around to study the office.

The room was huge and spacious—its size was comparable to the secretary's office next door, which was meant to house dozens of people at once.

The office went for a fashionable but minimalistic design, and it managed to pull off elegance at the same time. The racks around the room were also filled with precious antiques and document folders.

A large curved desk was placed in the middle of the room, facing the entrance. Behind Bailey were the towering buildings, and she could take in the beautiful city view if she turned around to look out the window.
