Chapter 168 This Is My Fate

Lucky Draw

Megan’s eyes flickered nervously, but she stayed silent.

True or not. Bethan’s offer was a rare chance she couldn’t

pass up.

After a long pause. Megan nodded cautiously. “Deal.”

Just then. Hugh returned with the discharge papers, and he saw Megan helping Bethan into her coat when he entered.

Megan saw Hugh enter the hospital room, his face dark with anger, and instinctively shrank behind Bethan.

Bethan calmly packed her phone charger.

Hugh’s gaze flicked between them, settling on Megan.

“What are you doing here?” he demanded, his voice low and sharp.

Megan’s eyes darted nervously, her words stumbling. “I-I came to apologize to Mrs. Cavill.”

“Are you done?” Hugh asked.

Megan nodded hurriedly.

“Then you can leave,” he said.

Megan hesitated, taking two steps toward the door before forcing herself to stop.

She tried again, her tone cautious. “Hugh, Mrs. Cavill has already accepted my apology. We were just…”

“Don’t make me say it twice!” Hugh cut her off, his face

cold.

Megan sneaked a glance at Bethan for help.

Bethan stepped in front of Hugh. “You made promises to Ms. Ridley, and you feel for her as a victim. I know what it’s like to love and not be loved back. When it’s just us, you don’t need to hide. I understand how hard it is for you both.”

Their eyes locked.

Noticing Bethan’s light, earnest tone, Hugh’s hands 17:01

clenched at his sides.

His gaze shifted to Megan, a flash of coldness in his eyes.

“Sorry, I’ll leave now,” Megan stammered, grabbing her bag and hurrying out.

Watching Megan flee and Hugh’s heavy expression, Bethan let out a soft sigh.

Hugh was too weighed down by his obligations, lacking the courage to break free and give Megan and her son a real future.

His family would rather see him remarry than accept Megan and her child.

And Megan, too obedient to defy Hugh, followed his every word.

If Bethan didn’t step in, she knew Hugh and Megan’s relationship wouldn’t last long.

Bethan peeled an orange and took a bite.

Then she offered it to Hugh. “Ms. Ridley bought it. It’s7:01

Their eyes met.

Hugh didn’t take the orange. Instead, he grabbed her hand.

“I’ll make sure she doesn’t show up in front of you again,” he said.

Bethan subtly pulled her hand free.

She set the orange down, wiping her hands with a tissue. “Hugh, I was too dramatic before. Think about it-back in the day, didn’t every big family have some concubines? They got along just fine.”

Hugh’s chest tightened, a dull ache spreading.

He studied her face, searching for a crack in her

composure.

Bethan tossed the tissue and met his gaze. “If this is my fate, I’ll accept it.”

her.

Bethan felt a weight lift; her mood was lighter than it had been in ages.

She’d given everything to this relationship.

She had no regrets, no lingering bitterness.

The pain she’d endured was in the past.

From now on, her time and energy would go to people and things worth her effort.

She flashed Hugh a carefree smile. “Let’s go.”

On the way home, Bethan chatted with Miranda on the phone.

Hugh sat beside her, silent, his face stormy, his gaze fixed on her.

Back home, Bethan headed straight for the bathroom.

After days in the hospital, she was desperate for a shower. 5/7

When she emerged, hair blow-dried, she saw Hugh sitting rigid on the edge of the bed, unmoving.

Bethan glanced away and headed for the dressing room.

Hugh stood. “You need to keep applying the scar cream.”
