Chapter 1700 I Don’t Need You to Do That for Me

Mrs. Close really had a heartache.

This girl was her daughter. How could they make her daughter kneel down and beg someone just
because they had made a grave mistake in the past? Furthermore, they weren’t a bright spot in
Alison’s life and they had lived a long life. It was enough for them.

When Clark asked about her thoughts about dying together with him, Mrs. Close knew that Clark had
made this iron-clad, irrefutable decision.

This man had lived his life wallowing in regrets because of losing her daughter, but now that her
daughter was someone successful, he was happier than anyone.

He told her that the Close family finally had someone who was sane. And that someone was his
daughter too. He was so proud!

The blood began to accumulate at the corner of Mrs. Close’s lips. An intense pain was pegging her

However, despite that, looking at Alison who was crying her eyes out, her heart ached even more.

“Don’t cry, Alison. Don’t cry! Allow us to depart with a smile on our faces! Your dad told me, you have a
boyfriend now? We are not worthy as parents, so we won’t have any comment on your choice. You
need to be sure of that man by yourself. Your father has left you some money under the name of
someone, and if you were to be bullied by that man, just divorce him. The money is enough for you for
the rest of your life.”

“I don’t want that! I only want you and dad! Mum, stop talking, I’ll bring you to see a doctor!”

Alison tried to carry her mother up with much difficulty.

At the moment, she looked like a lost child.



Where is the doctor?

Due to the spreading pandemic here, Alison had actually secretly quarantined this place. At this
moment, she carried her mother in her arms and darted in some direction aimlessly, but all of a sudden
she bumped into someone.

It was a familiar feeling, and the person felt warm. Alison couldn’t come to her sense for a moment.

“Alison, were you crying?”

A familiar voice made Alison’s head snap up, and what came into her view was Ernesto’s familiar face
in front of her.

She seemed like she had grasped the last straw of hope as she grabbed Ernesto’s hand and cried out,
“Please! Save my mum now! Ernesto, help me save her!”

This was the first time Ernesto had seen Alison at such a loss.

He glanced at Mrs. Close who was in Alison’s embrace and knew instinctively that she was beyond
saving. However, he couldn’t bear to stare right into Alison’s hopeless eyes, so he called out to some
people behind him, “Bring the doctor here! Fast!”

Alison didn’t know why Ernesto was here. Her head was swimming in a pool of emotions.

She couldn’t let her mother die!

Her father was already in pieces at the moment, no?

Was it just now the last moment she could share with her father?

How could things turn out like this?



Now that her mother was also…

She recalled all the tolerance and patience her parents had shown her and all their goodness and
immediately Alison couldn’t hold back her tears as she cried out loudly with her lips pressed hard.

It was not that she couldn’t accept their goodwill purposely.

She just didn’t know what to do.

She just didn’t know how to face them.

Alison gripped her mother’s hand hard while crying, “Mum, you can’t die like this. If you died, I won’t
ever forgive you! In this life, I will hate you forever! You guys have abandoned me back then and let me
suffer so much, but now you think that you can get my forgiveness after spending a few days with me?
Do you really think I will feel better if you die? I don’t want you to compensate and make up for things
like this! I want you to be alive!”

Ernesto watched Alison wailing in agony and felt his heart break. He never knew that Allison would
break down like this.

He wanted to soothe her, but he didn’t know where to start. Mrs. Close suddenly grabbed Ernesto’s
hand at the same time.

Her time was counting down.

“Are you Alison’s boyfriend?”

“Yes, I am, Mrs. Close.”

Ernesto’s face was red hot at the moment.



Although the people of the Close family were despicable, seeing Alison’s current state, he could put
aside his bias towards the Close family and have a few words with her.

Mrs. Close gazed at Ernesto and thought that this young fellow looked refreshed and energetic and
was good towards Alison.

“Our Alison had it rough when she was growing up, and as parents, we couldn’t even be by her side at
all times. You must like her very much, don’t you? I beg you that you must treat her well. She is lacking
in love since young, and although she at times appears cold and distant, she craves for real emotions
and relationships more than anyone. If you don’t love her anymore one day, please don’t hurt her. Tell
her. You know how arrogant and stuck-up she is, she wouldn’t pester you after that. If her dad and I
were still alive, perhaps I would have asked you to send her back to us. However, we are too sinful,
and we can’t provide her with a safe haven. Perhaps you are the only safe haven she has now. If one
day you don’t love her anymore, can you find a place for her to settle down?”

Alison was sobbing and her voice was lost.

“I don’t need you to do this for me! I don’t need it! Stop talking now, leave some energy. You will be fine.
Everything will be fine!”

However, Mrs. Close never glanced at Alison, but instead her eyes were burning into Ernesto. She
wanted him to make a promise now.

Perhaps, in the eyes of outsiders and the citizens in the country, the Close family were a sinful bunch,
and their deaths weren’t something to be mournful for. However, at this moment, Ernesto thought that
Mrs. Close was just like any other innocent and gentle mother.

A typical mother who loved her daughter!



“I promise you! I swear with my life that I will love her until the end of time. If there was a day where we
can’t walk together towards the future anymore, I will watch over her like a family member. I, Ernesto
Orozco, is her safe haven, forever! It’s not just because of love, it’s because she’s worthy of that!”

Ernesto’s words finally made Mrs. Close reveal a smile of consolation.

Her gaze was starting to dissipate, and it seemed that they couldn’t focus on any point in space. She
said faintly, “Alison, your dad is coming to get me. Actually, I have been happy in my life. The others
keep saying that we are very sinful, but I know that I have achieved salvation for your dad. Without me,
your dad would be lonely. Don’t blame me for abandoning you now. You’ve grown up, and you what
you need is a life partner. Your mum and dad are going now, and from now on you need to walk your
own path. I hope that fate will bring us together again in the next life.”

After saying that, Mrs. Close closed her eyes, and her limbs plopped down lifelessly.

“I don’t want to wait for the next time around. I only want to be with you in this lifetime! Mum, you can’t
do this to me! Wake up now!”

Alison was crying her lungs out.

Ernesto’s eyes were reddened too.

“Alison, Mrs. Close has departed.”

“Ah!”

Alison knelt down by her mother’s body and cried endlessly and with agony. Ernesto could only hold
her tight while his heart was breaking.

She finally passed out after a lot of crying.



Ernesto waved and summoned his men to take over the scene. He then called back into the country.

The Close family which was active for so many years was finally destroyed.

However, Ernesto had a heavy heart now.

This was because Alison was having a high fever.

After examination, she was confirmed to be infected by the virus and she needed to be separated from
the outside world. Despite that, Alison wasn’t in her right mind.

Ever since she came to herself, she simply sat in one spot with listless eyes. She was staring in the
direction of her father and mother’s corpse, and she couldn’t eat, drink or talk. She was like a lifeless
porcelain doll at the moment.

The once aloof and arrogant Alison was no more.

Ernesto’s underling came to him with a phone.

“Mr. Orozco, according to Mr. Morty, Miss Close here has to be quarantined here on the spot. When
she is cured, she can then be transferred back to the nation.”

“Tell Mr. Green that I need to apply for annual leave!”

After saying that, Ernesto lifted his feet and walked into Alison’s room.

Since she wouldn’t come out of the room, he would go in and keep her company! She wanted to stop
eating, and it also happened that he was dieting. He vowed to pull Alison back from the
abyss!
