Mason glanced at Hugh, then settled into the chair across from him. “When Bethan didn’t hesitate to abort your baby, she was telling you exactly how determined she is to divorce you. Things have gotten this far-do I really need to spell it out for you?”
Hugh completely lost it. His voice turned harsh and desperate. “Look around us-there are plenty of cheating husbands whose families are doing just fine. I just had a moment of weakness and agreed to claim Megan’s son as mine. I was trying to help her, that’s all. Why does everyone treat me like I’m some kind of criminal?”
Hugh’s voice cracked as he continued, “I know Bethan has a temper and gets angry easily. Once she recovers, I’ll make it up to her. I’ll cut things off with Megan completely. As long as I don’t file for divorce, we can start
over.”
Mason shot back, “You’ve hurt Bethan so badly. You
made her cry countless tears, forced her to abort her own child. You keep talking about making it up to her-what exactly are you going to use to compensate for all that?” 1/6

our whole lives ahead of us. I’ll find a way to make her forgive me.”
Mason let out a bitter laugh. “You and Bethan? You’ll never have a whole lifetime together.”
Mason set down his lighter and pulled up his right sleeve. Then he picked up an empty glass from the table.
He gripped the rim of the glass and slammed the bottom hard against the table.
Hugh looked up at the glass in Mason’s hand. Mason loosened his grip.
The next second, the intact glass shattered with a sharp crash, breaking into a pile of glittering fragments.
Mason pointed at the glass shards scattered across the table. “Hugh, no matter how capable you are, can you put this broken cup back together?”
Hugh’s face darkened, his lips pressed into a tight line.
“Even if you used the finest materials to restore it,” Mason continued, “even if you melted it down and 17:47

Mason sneered, “You think things can ever go back? A rope that’s been cut will never be smooth again-tie it all you want, the knot’s still there. ‘Picking up the pieces’ is just a fairy tale for fools.”
He leaned in, voice sharp as a blade. “Sure, you can patch. things up. But like it used to be? Dream on. The wall between you and Bethan is one you built with your own hands, and it’s one you’ll never climb. Even if the two of you don’t divorce, don’t kid yourself-you’ll never get close to her again.”
After Mason left, Hugh stayed alone in his study for hours, unable to come out.
Mason’s words kept echoing in his mind, mixing with everything Fiona had said, spinning around and around until he couldn’t think straight.
Over the next few days, Fiona, Gwen, and Jemma took turns caring for Bethan around the clock, comforting her and helping her heal. Bethan’s body recovered quickly.
Thất weekend evening, Bethan turned to Fiona. Why17:47

don’t you take Gwen and Jemma back to Cavill Manor? I’m going back to work at the hospital tomorrow.”
Fiona nodded and left with both girls.
Once everyone was gone, Bethan took a shower and laid out her clothes for work the next morning.
Maybe she’d been lying down too long, but after moving around for a few minutes, her body felt weak and shaky.
Hugh appeared behind her without warning, catching her arm to steady her.
His eyes locked onto the beads of sweat on her forehead. His own eyes turned red with pain as he spoke. “Even if you want to punish me or get revenge, you don’t have to hurt yourself like this.”
Bethan pushed him away and sank into a chair to rest.
She looked at him coldly. “Hugh, I got rid of the baby. because I don’t want any connection to you anymore. I did it for myself. You’re not worth me hurting my own body just to get back at you. You’re overthinking this.” 4/6

Looking straight into her eyes, he said, “Bethan, we’ve
been married three years. I’ve been torn between you and Megan this whole time. I hurt you because of Megan and Hudson. I was wrong.”
Hugh tentatively reached for Bethan’s hand, his voice breaking as moisture gathered in the corners of his eyes. “I’ll cut things off with Megan completely. I’ll never hurt you again.”
He continued, “As long as you don’t ask for a divorce or separation, I’ll agree to whatever conditions you have. I’ll wait as long as it takes for you to forgive me!”
In the walk-in closet, they stood face to face, close enough to see every flicker of emotion.
