Chapter 1249

“I was Murphy’s wife once,” muttered Crystal Rose.

Levant was astonished by the information and didn’t know how to respond. Isn’t Murphy’s wife Avril and
my mother? Then that means that she…

Crystal Rose saw Levant staring at her in disbelief and tried to convince him it was the truth. “It’s true. I
left him because I discovered he was cheating on me.”

Is this the truth? If it is, then she’s my biological mother!

In that instant, Levant felt a flood of complicated emotions rush through him as his face fell. “You
abandoned the child you had with him because you hate him. Not only that, you even deliberately sent
the child to an orphanage!”

Crystal Rose frowned. How does he know about that?

Levant’s face grew colder in response to the woman’s silence. “So, those are the facts? You
abandoned your own child as a mother. Where did you even get the audacity to reprimand and despise
others?”

“I had my reasons when I did that! I would never have done that if I could have raised my child back
then!” Crystal Rose explained desperately while staring at Levant in confusion. “How did you find out
about these matters? Who told you about them?”

“No reason in the world could justify why you abandoned your child.” Levant stood up and responded
icily, then left the room.

Crystal Rose watched as he left the room abruptly and had an indescribable feeling about the latter’s
agitated reaction to the subject.



How did Levant find out I abandoned my child at an orphanage? How did he learn about my past?
Also, why was he so enraged when he told me that?

Crystal Rose was initially perplexed by the situation. Soon after, she realized her abandoned child
would be around Levant’s age. Then a bizarre thought occurred to her. Could Levant be the child I
abandoned back then? No, that can’t possibly be true! What are the odds of reuniting with my long-lost
son in Nepenthe Valley out of pure coincidence?

Davin, who was waiting for Levant outside Crystal Rose’s house, spotted the latter approaching him.
Yet, the look of rage on Levant’s face baffled him.

Did his conversation with Crystal Rose go south? If not, why else would he look so angry? Davin paced
toward Levant and intercepted him. “How did the discussion go? Is she still obsessed with taking Uncle
Morris’ life?”

Levant’s expression was gloomy and complicated as he pushed Davin out of the way while saying
nothing.

“What the… Hey, what happened between the two of you? Why are you acting this way?” Davin
remained confused as he watched Levant walk away.

“Crystal Rose is such an odd woman. What did she tell Levant that irritated him to that extent?” he
wondered to himself before heading off to find Evan.

After reporting the situation to Evan, Davin questioned, “Don’t you think that it’s weird, Evan? Is it
because Levant failed to persuade Crystal Rose out of taking Uncle Morris’ life?”

After some speculation, Evan disagreed, “There must be some other reason behind it. I’ll go check on
Levant.”



Later, Evan arrived at Levant’s room and noticed the latter was packing up his belongings. Bewildered,
he asked, “Are you leaving so soon?”

“That’s right. I’m getting out of here.”

Evan was taken aback. Before witnessing Levant’s behavior, he had assumed Davin was making a big
deal about Levant’s irritation out of nothing. Looks like something’s really wrong with him.

“I’m genuinely curious about what Crystal Rose said to you that infuriated you to this extent. Was it
really because you failed to talk her out of her mission to seek revenge and kill Uncle Morris?”

Levant looked at Evan seriously and answered, “Crystal Rose is a heartless woman. She abandoned
her son! I’m absolutely disgusted by these kinds of people.”

“How do you know she abandoned her son?” asked Evan.

Levant didn’t answer Evan’s question. Of course I know. I’m the son she abandoned!
