Chapter 2953: Chapter 2471: Can You Bear to Part With It?
A moment later, Brandon Heath ended the call and put his phone aside.
"I’ve already asked someone to handle the divorce procedures, but it will still take at least half an hour."
"Alright, let’s wait for you to get the Divorce Certificate, and then we can discuss other matters."
"I will do as you say, but before that, shouldn’t you let me see Stacy? Otherwise, how would I know if she’s safe now?"
"Of course." Diana Kinsman bent down to pick up her phone from the sofa, then opened a video App and tossed the phone to Darren Heath. "Your granddaughter is sound asleep now. Once you’re done with what I’ve told you to do, someone will send her back."
Darren Heath took the phone and saw the sweetly sleeping little girl in the video, finally feeling relieved.
He handed the phone back to Diana Kinsman: "The person you hate is me. Come at me if you have to, but the child is innocent. I hope you’ll keep your word."
"Hmph, of course, I’ll keep my word. But the premise is that you have to do as I say." Diana took the phone back and threw the box containing the pills at Darren Heath. "Originally, I planned to have you eat this after the divorce, but I suddenly changed my mind."
"Eat this pill now."
Darren Heath caught the box and looked down at it. Then, he raised his head and asked Diana Kinsman calmly, "What kind of medicine is in it?"
"Poison. Dare to eat it?"
Darren Heath looked down at the box in his hand again and didn’t speak further. He opened the box and took out the brown pill inside.
"Don’t worry; your death won’t be too painful. After swallowing this pill, you’ll fall asleep quickly and have wonderful dreams. Then, in one of those dreams, you’ll end your life." Diana’s emotionless voice rang out. "Darren Heath, as long as you eat this pill now, I will immediately have someone send your granddaughter back."
"From then on, I won’t hurt anyone from the Heath family again."
"Would you give up your life for your granddaughter’s life?"
"So this pill is meant to take my life." Darren Heath curled his lips, speaking in a nonchalant tone about matters concerning his own life. "Winnie, if my life can save Stacy’s life, make up for the harm I’ve done to Mia all these years, and let you live without hatred, then it’s worth it."
"Then eat this pill now." Diana didn’t believe he would dare, and sneered, "Darren Heath, do you really dare? Can you bear to give up your wealth and glory now, and everything you have in this world?"
"Wasn’t it because you couldn’t bear to give up your identity as Young Master Brandon that you went back in the first place?"
Darren Heath sighed lightly and, though he knew that Diana didn’t believe him, explained, "Winnie, I went back not for my identity but for my responsibilities."
"Responsibilities? Hahaha, what a grand reason."
"I know you don’t believe me. In any case, I indeed let Mia down and failed to fulfill a father’s responsibilities to you. I owe you mother and daughter an apology. This life of mine was saved by Mia in the first place, and I’ve lived for several more decades than I should have been content with. Now, consider this me returning the favor."
After Darren Heath finished speaking, without any hesitation, he swallowed the brown pill.
"Bang!"
At the same time, the door to Diana Kinsman’s study was kicked open forcefully.
"Dad, don’t eat it!"
"Dad, don’t eat it!"
