Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 697

Chapter 697 The Beginning of a Living Hell

The curtains had been drawn.

The four men in black approached Helen with solemn expressions, moving like robots. She watched them with obvious panic in her eyes.

Turning to Martha, she angrily questioned, "Martha, didn't you say that you wouldn't do anything else to me after you hit me?"

"What... what's going on now? How could you go back on your word?"

Seeing Helen's confusion and distress, Martha calmly said, "I didn't bring these people here."

Helen was shocked and turned towards Stefan sitting next to Martha.

Wasn't it Martha who brought them here? As soon as this thought crossed her mind, Stefan's cold voice came out of his lips, making everyone in the room feel as if they were trapped in an ice cave.

"I brought these people here. You hurt my son and I will make sure you pay a heavy price."

"Stefan... I didn't mean it," Helen backed away fearfully while looking at him with pleading eyes, hoping he would take pity on her.

But Stefan's gaze did not linger on her for even a moment. Instead, he looked lovingly at Martha beside him, saying,"Martha, let's leave first."

Martha nodded calmly and got up, walking towards the door. Stefan glanced coldly at the four men dressed in black suits, indicating that they should wait until he and his wife left before taking any action.

The four men nodded slightly, then slowly turned around, and approached Helen step by step, causing her legs to become so weak that she leaned against the door frame, trying not to fall down.

At this moment, she truly felt their oppression, which made her panic even more. She looked towards where Martha and Stefan had left, shouting frantically, "Martha! Come back! Please come back!"

But neither of them stopped or even turned around when hearing her cries for help.

After leaving the suite, Stefan pulled Martha into another suite next door.

As soon as they entered it, Stefan reached out and gently pulled Martha into his arms. "It's okay. Don't worry. Jimmy will be back to his lively self in three months."

Martha nodded lightly, still holding onto her husband's coat tightly.

Leaning against him and smelling his familiar scent, she couldn't hold back her emotions any longer. The self-blame that had been suppressed in her heart began to amplify infinitely.

After waiting for a while without hearing Martha's answer, Stefan immediately sensed that something was wrong with her and loosened his embrace on her.

When he saw Martha's slightly red and wet eye, he tenderly wiped away the tears from her face with his hand and whispered softly, "It's okay now."

Upon hearing Stefan's comforting voice again, Martha broke down emotionally once more.

"It's all my fault. I didn't protect Jimmy well enough," she said through sobs.

"I said I would take good care of Jimmy, but I left a bad woman around him," she continued blaming herself further.

"If it weren't for me, Jimmy wouldn't have broken his leg."

Stefan listened to Martha repeatedly blaming herself with a pained expression in his eyes.

After consoling her for a long time, Martha was still sobbing. He finally lowered himself towards her face and kissed away each tear drop from her eyes until they were gone completely.

Feeling Stefan's warm lips on her face made Martha freeze up momentarily.

Once Martha regained composure, she blushed slightly before pushing him away gently with one hand.
