Chapter 247 See You Every Day

For a few seconds, silence hung in the air.

“Troy, I’m here!” A childish voice broke the silence.

With a bang, Grace pushed the door open and dashed inside.

When she noticed there were others in the room, she immediately halted, looking at Sarah with curious

big eyes. “Hello, Ma’am!”

Sarah turned her head to look at Grace, her

eyes wide.

Her emaciated face with prominent cheekbones and sunken eye sockets made her eyes bulge, giving

her a somewhat sinister look. It startled Grace, causing her to rush into Troy’s arms and whisper softly,

“Troy, I’m scared.”

Troy embraced her, discreetly removing the photo from the table, and then looked at Sarah. “You can

leave now. Yann is waiting for you downstairs.”

Sarah glanced at Grace again before turning around and leaving. She bumped into Imogen as she

exited the room.

She was taken aback when her gaze landed on Imogen’s beautiful and radiant face. Exquisite makeup

blended seamlessly with her fair and delicate skin, concealing any scars on her face. The contours of

her oval face were smooth and graceful.

Imogen was wearing a camel–colored cardigan over a light–colored scarf, a checkered midi skirt, and

black ankle boots on her feet. Her long brown hair cascaded over her shoulders, and she radiated a

refined and vibrant aura, and she looked fashionable.

Sarah stared at Imogen’s face for a couple of seconds, finding no resemblance to Bill at all. “She had to

look like her cunning mother!” She thought.

As she saw the woman before her, Imogen froze for a moment, taking a couple of seconds to

recognize her as Sarah.

The Sarah who had caused Henry’s death.

Anger flitted across Imogen’s eyes, followed by astonishment.

“How could Sarah have become like this? Wasn’t she supposed to be protected by Troy?” She

wondered.

Sensing Imogen’s gaze, a sudden flashback of her disheveled appearance that she saw in her

reflection raced through Sarah’s mind.

She lowered her head, a hint of malice flashing in her eyes. Clenching her fists tightly, she rammed her

shoulder into Imogen’s and walked away without looking back.

“Imogen must be feeling quite pleased when she saw how I looked now, right? She’s just a lowly

mistress’s illegitimate child. Let her revel in her temporary satisfaction,” she thought.

Sarah was determined to one day rise to the top again and make Imogen kneel before her, letting her

trample all over her.

Meanwhile, Imogen took a step back to steady herself, staring at Sarah’s retreating figure as she

tightened her hands into fists. She suppressed her urge to confront Sarah and entered the hospital

ward.

Grace poked her head out of Troy’s embrace. “Troy, who was that scary lady just now?”

The little girl knew about Sarah’s existence but had never seen her before.

Before Troy could reply, Imogen suddenly asked, “How did Sarah become so thin?”

Not only was she thin, but her skin condition and vitality were drastically different from before. Grace’s

face betrayed how stunned she was. “She’s Sarah? Is she the woman Grandma prefers?”

She couldn’t help wondering the old lady’s tastes.

Troy ruffled Grace’s hair. “Grace, Troy needs to receive treatment. Can you go call the nurse for Troy?”

“Sure!” Grace nodded her little head and stood up, hurrying off.

Once she left, Troy looked at Imogen and stood up, walking slowly toward her. “Sarah has been in

Villard Hospital for some time now.”

“Villard Hospital?” At first, Imogen thought Sarah had experienced a relapse, but then she realized that

wasn’t the case. She looked at Troy in confusion and guessed, “Did you do this?”

“She caused Grandfather’s death. How could I let her go easily?”

Imogen looked at him incredulously.

“Didn’t he really like Sarah? Wasn’t he willing to protect Sarah even if it meant his grandfather’s soul

wouldn’t rest in peace? How could he allow Sarah to end up in such a place?” She wondered. “I bet

you don’t believe me.” Troy took another step closer, gazing deeply into her eyes. “Imogen, I’ve said it

before. I like you. All those rumors about me marrying Sarah were false. I only want to be with you.

Can’t you believe me now?”

Imogen pursed her lips, looking down at her toes.

She no longer trusted Troy. No matter what he said, she considered it a lie.

Troy had repeatedly claimed that he liked her, but she had never believed him.

Thus, when he was suddenly telling her that he might genuinely like her, Imogen’s mind suddenly

became muddled.

If he liked her, then what about what happened during their wedding anniversary?

How could she excuse him for allowing his friends to humiliate her, as well as his decision to meet

Sarah despite the ultimatum she gave him?

And all those nights of distress and grievances she had experienced… What did they amount to? Their

unborn child that never was… What did that signify?

Perhaps he genuinely liked her, but maybe it was just that and nothing else.

If he really loved her, he would’ve had eyes for no one else but her. He would be thinking of her

constantly, feeling joy when he saw her, and feeling distressed when she got hurt… She had never

seen any of that in him, let alone the fact that he often sided with Sarah even when it would hurt her.

Or maybe he was just accustomed to her, to their three years of marriage, which was why he didn’t

want to part ways.

“Imogen, give me another chance, please…”

Troy, noting her silence, cautiously reached out to hold her hand.

Imogen snapped back to reality, instinctively stepping back.

Troy froze, his outstretched hand hovering awkwardly in midair. In an attempt to ease the situation, he

clenched his fist, then slowly lowered it.

A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. “Sorry, I was too hasty.”

After pondering for a moment, Imogen voiced her thoughts. “It’s not that I don’t believe you. It’s just that

I can’t get a good read of you right now. Not long ago, you clearly had strong feelings for Sarah… I

overheard her asking you whether you had ever loved her…”

“I wasn’t sure before, but now I can give you a definite answer. No, I had never,” Troy replied firmly.

Imogen stared at him in disbelief.

She couldn’t fathom how he could be so good to Sarah, even if some of it was out of guilt. It didn’t

make sense that he had not loved her at all.

Seeing Imogen’s expression, Troy reached for the pack of cigarettes in his pocket, then hesitated and

stopped himself. “In the beginning, perhaps I was moved by her persistence. But as we spent more

time together, I realized we weren’t very compatible. If that incident hadn’t happened… we probably

would’ve broken up by now.”

Upon discovering the humiliation Sarah endured, he felt a strong sense of guilt, but it was just guilt,

unlike Imogen, who always made his heart ache.

Or rather, the fact that he was still rational enough to call the police when Sarah was kidnapped spoke

volumes about what he felt for her.

If Imogen were in the same situation, Troy wouldn’t dare to call the police easily.

However, back then, he had mistaken guilt for love.

“Troy, have you ever considered that you don’t actually like me, but you’re just accustomed to being

with me, accustomed to our life together…”

“I once doubted that too…”

Troy looked down, mumbling in a low voice, “But later, I confirmed that I like you. I want to see you

every day. When you’re around, I’m in a good mood. When I see you cry, it hurts me deeply. When I

see you with Liam, I can’t help feeling jealous… If it were just a matter of habit, I would have locked you

up in the mansion like a caged bird.”

Growing up in a gilded cage, Troy had been admired by peers all his life. With his handsome looks and

outstanding abilities, he could have whatever he wanted. He never knew what envy and jealousy felt

like until later.

When he realized Imogen had feelings for someone else and when he saw her with Liam, he felt bitter

deep down, accompanied by a heavy feeling in his chest. It wasn’t until after a long time that he

realized it was jealousy.
