Chapter 69 Broken Heart
+5 Pearls *
Agnes smiled and sighed quietly to herself. Time had passed so quickly. When she first met Rebecca, she thought she was just an innocent little girl.
Now, that girl had grown up, and she had fallen in love.
At the hospital.
A doctor stood inside Hillary’s ward.
He spoke in a low voice, “Ms. Young, I already contacted Mr. Newton’s driver as you instructed. I told him your condition had worsened. Mr. Newton should be here soon.”
Hillary said, “Good. Say it exactly like before. The more serious it sounds, the better. I’ve already transferred another payment to you.
“These past years, you’ve handled things very well.”
The doctor said eagerly, “Thank you, Ms. Young. I understand. You can rest assured.”
As expected, Raymond arrived at the hospital not long after.
He first went to Hillary’s attending doctor to ask about her situation.
The doctor said, “Mr. Newton, Ms. Young has been emotionally unstable recently, which keeps triggering complications from her past condition.
“If she does not take proper care, her body will continue to weaken. She cannot handle further emotional strain.”
Raymond lowered his gaze and let out a long breath. “Mm.”
After speaking with the doctor, he went to Hillary’s room. She lay on the bed, her face pale.
The moment she saw Raymond, she sat up with excitement and said weakly, “Raymond… you came!”
Raymond quickly stepped forward and gently pushed her back down. “Don’t get up. The doctor said your body is too weak. You need to rest properly.”
Hillary said, “I’m… fine. Don’t listen to them. They always exaggerate. I’m doing great, really… Ahem…“.
Raymond lightly patted her back. “Talk less. Rest more.”
Hillary felt a surge of happiness, as if she could float. Just as she expected, Raymond still cared about her. At the reunion earlier, in front of everyone, he left Agnes behind and brought her to the hospital. That must have been the harshest blow Agnes could take.
By now, all their classmates likely believed that married or not, the only one in Raymond’s heart was her. Agnes meant nothing.
Hillary said, “Thank you, Raymond. I’m really happy you stayed with me. Agnes… she won’t be angry,

“I don’t want you two to keep arguing because of me. At the reunion today, I shouldn’t have stepped in to smooth things over.
“Now that I think about it, Gabrielle was also wrong. It makes sense that Agnes got upset. I interfered when I shouldn’t have.”
Raymond said, “I know. It’s not your fault. That’s enough. Don’t mention it again.”
Hillary had been about to bring up the hundred million, but Raymond spoke first.
“Hillary, the medical care here in Grandridge is not as good as Montara. The doctor said you need proper recovery. I know better doctors there.
“I’ll arrange for you to go to Montara to focus on treatment. Once you’re better, you can return. I don’t want you getting upset here again.”
Hillary froze. She only wanted the doctor to exaggerate her illness so Raymond would feel guilty.
She never expected him to send her away to Montara. This was completely beyond what she planned.
She quickly said, “I’m really not that sick. I’ve told you before, they always exaggerate.

“I’m being treated well here too. I’ve just been a little weak lately. I’ll recover soon. It won’t be different in Montara, and this is where I grew up. You’re here too. I don’t want to leave. Raymond, I won’t go…”
Raymond said, “Hillary, I’m already married. There will never be anything between us. I don’t want you wasting your time on me.
“You deserve someone better. When you stayed in Montara before, your condition was stable.
“But after returning here, you’ve been falling ill again and again. That is not something I want to see.
“When the time comes, Felix will take you there. His family has business in Montara recently. He will take care of you for me.”
Hillary understood clearly. He wanted to send her away, far from Grandridge, far from him and Agnes,
She could not accept it. So many times before, Raymond had chosen her.
Why? He clearly did not love Agnes.
Agnes must have said something to him again tonight. That woman… pretending to be innocent while scheming behind the scenes.
