Chapter 586 Let Her Go
Bailey’s extremely unstable emotional state and tendency to overthink made reading her thoughts really difficult, so Christina didn’t dare agitate her too much.
“Julian was here, but you were asleep at the time. I didn’t tell him to stay because I figured you didn’t want to see him just yet.”
“You’re lying! Julian never came to visit me!” There was a hint of despair in Bailey’s smile. She took a deep breath and continued with certainty. “He’s trying to show me that Zeila is more important than I am!”
Christina teared up slightly and found herself at a loss for words. She didn’t know how to comfort Bailey.
Despite being in a dazed state from time to time, Bailey was actually aware of everything going on around her.
With a bright smile on her face, she let go of Christina’s wrist and said confidently, “Christina, Julian and I are over!”
Bailey felt as though something deep inside her broke when she said that, and the pain was so intense that it could tear her heart apart.
Even so, no one could help share that pain of hers, so Bailey would have to endure it all on her own.
The light in the corridor flickered, and a chilly breeze came in through the window.
Christina felt a shiver down her spine as she sat there and stared at Bailey, who had been venting her emotions for over an hour.
Bailey’s last sentence kept echoing in Christina’s mind, and her pained expression was practically etched into Christina’s memory.
Because Christina had a similar experience in the past with Nathaniel, she was able to understand Bailey’s feelings.
“It’s getting late, Mrs. Hadley. How about I send you home?” Sebastian suggested.
Christina stood up and stretched her aching legs to relieve some of the pain as she replied, “Have you made the arrangements for Bailey’s protection? She’s emotionally unstable right now, so I’m very worried about her safety. Her caretakers must be very alert and meticulous when looking after her.”
“Yes, you may rest assured that all the arrangements have been made,” Sebastian replied.
Christina tugged at her coat and made her way toward the elevator.
The elevator doors opened, and her eyes grew cold when she saw the man standing inside.
“It sure is ridiculously hard to see you, Mr. Forrester. Are you here to visit Bailey? What if your fiancée finds out and throws another tantrum?” Christina asked, making no attempt to hide her sarcasm at all.
Julian was in no position to defend himself, so he simply shot Christina a glance as he stepped out of the elevator.
“I heard Bailey is emotionally unstable. I won’t stick around for too long,” he said with his fists clenched.
Christina let out a sarcastic chuckle as she walked up to him with her arms crossed.
“You chose to be with another woman when Bailey needed you the most. Julian. You have lost the right to care for her, let alone stay by her side.”
Julian’s expression slid into a frown, and the veins in his forehead bulged as he tried to keep his anger suppressed. “Mrs. Hadley, this is between me and Bailey. You have no right to interfere.”
Christina glared at him. “Gabrielle used to love you with her entire being, but she no longer wants to see you ever again after you abandoned her. It was her who decided that it’s over between you two, not me.”
Julian’s face was filled with disbelief when he heard that. “S-She wants to break up with me?”
No, this can’t be true! There’s no way Bailey would do that!
Julian shoved Christina aside and ran straight toward Bailey’s ward.
