Belle sat on the bed in a daze. She didn't pay much attention to Calvin's words, but Hudson's face kept flashing in front of her eyes. For many years, she had always wanted to see him, but she didn't have the courage to.
She should go to see him today.
She stood up and couldn't help walking towards the corridor ahead.
The closer she got to the ward, the slower her steps became. Her heart was beating fast.
The green curtain strictly covered the room. Belle felt the air in the room thin that she could not even breathe.
Panicked, she dared not walked in.
She opened the door slowly after a moment of hesitation.
Inside the clean wards were various kinds of flowers, but as dull as she thought. The windows at the south were all open, so the air was fresh, which was good for the patient.
In the white bed lay an old man in his sixties, tall and slim. His face was pale, his eyes closed, he just lay there quietly, like he was asleep. And he was Hudson Calvin, the once famous figure in the mall.
Now that he was lying quietly, he was no longer as majestic as in the past. However, his distinctive facial features were still the same.
Was it her fault?
Belle's heart suddenly tightened. It was so heavy that it fell straight down. Her breath was strangling her throat like a wire, and she was almost hyperventilating.
"Dad... Hudson, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. I don't even know what was going on.” Belle held Hudson's cold hand, crying bitterly.
For so many years, this was the only thing that she felt guilty about, for she was related. Whenever she thought of this, she felt herself to be blamed.
Why? It was supposed to be a wonderful event. Why did it turn out to be such a tragedy?
Was it wrong for her to marry into the Harvey family?
If she did not marry into the Harvey family, none of this would have happened. Therefore, it was right for them to hate her. She was a sinner!
She married Calvin because she loved him. However, she knew nothing about the Harvey family. Was it all her fault?
Holding Hudson's hand, she couldn't help sobbing, “Hudson, I have divorced Calvin. I won't disturb you anymore, and I won't disgrace the Harvey family. I beg you to get better as soon as possible. Only when you get better can I be at ease and leave without worries.”
She cried out loud, not only for him, but also for her father.
Why did her father die and why Hudson got unconscious?
If what she had imagined was true, then when would this revenge and hatred end?
At this moment, she calmed down.
If Calvin was the one who set up that car accident, she would not blame him now! Because he had suffered the same pain, He must be sad to see that his father was in a coma.
She stopped blaming Paige, for she had lost her beloved husband. Paige must hate her.
Belle wondered if she should leave and go to an unknown place to spend the rest of her life with her mother.
No matter what was between her and Calvin, it was in the past. It was impossible for them to go back to each other.
This was her destiny.
Rhys' words sounded in her ears.
"Belle, if you figure things out after this incident, you must choose your own life in the future. You can come to me. I will definitely give you a satisfactory life, including a marriage."
His words were appropriate. A person who had never accompanied her throughout her life could see her so thoroughly, but she could not. She fell for him again and again, to the point that she could not feel her own heart anymore.
Calvin said even if they couldn't be husband and wife, they could still be friends.
No, they couldn't even be friends!
Could they really ignore these cruel facts in the past? It was impossible!
