Breaking Point of Divorce (Hugh and Bethan) novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283 Do You Understand Me?

Bethan wasn’t surprised at all that Hugh would ask such a question.

Because deep down, he still didn’t think he’d done anything wrong.

His apologies, his attempts to make amends, his promises to compensate her-it was all just because she’d gotten the abortion without telling anyone. That’s when he finally realized how serious things had become.

He just wanted to smooth things over so he could keep this marriage going.

Bethan turned the question back on Hugh, “Answer me this first-why do you treat Megan and her son better than me, your own wife?”

Their eyes locked. Slowly, the light in Hugh’s eyes dimmed.

The grievance in his heart gradually turned to guilt, 18:04 Hugh’s lips twitched, struggling to form words, but no

“I’ve barely known Mr. Locke a year,” Bethan said, “but the second I so much as furrow my brow, he knows I’m exhausted. He doesn’t even like you, but he’ll still watch you for me so I can rest. When I smile and tell him I’m fine, he sees straight through the act-he knows I’m forcing it. He only suggested we go racing because he wanted me to unwind. And when he’s sitting on the couch playing games? His eyes dart over to me constantly, checking if I’m okay, because he can tell when something’s bothering me.”

She locked eyes with Hugh. “We’ve been in each other’s lives for over twenty years, Hugh. So tell me do you actually understand me at all? Do you get me the way Arthur does?”

Hugh reached for Bethan’s hand, but she pulled away.

Bethan said, “I agreed to let Mr. Byron’s child call me mom because I had a child once too. I want to have a child. I can feel the pure, genuine affection this child has for me. I was married to you for three years—as my husband, what did you ever do for me?”

Hugh stumbled backward, unsteady on his feet, until he Reached the kitchen doorway.

Bethan continued, “Mr. Byron and I were complete strangers when we met. I took care of his child and helped him recover, and he was grateful enough to bend his own rules and take my divorce case.

“I did everything I could for Mr. Keating, and when your grandfather and father came after me and my parents, Mr. Keating didn’t hesitate—he showed up at the Cavill house himself to protect me. They’ve been loyal to me. Don’t I owe them the same?”

Her voice trembled. “Hugh, I’ve loved you for over twenty years. What have I gotten in return?

“Everything-all your care, all your exceptions-you’ve given it all to Megan and her son. So tell me, how exactly am I supposed to treat you now?”

Without waiting for an answer, Bethan walked out without looking back.

After Bethan left, Mason came in carrying late-night

snacks.

Seeing how distracted Hugh looked, Mason said bluntly, Byddeserve it.”

Hugh lay back on the hospital bed, completely out of it.

Mason dragged a chair over to the bedside and propped one leg up on the bed.

“Do you have any idea what a shitty thing you did?” Mason asked.

Hugh closed his eyes, hiding the pain in them.

Mason continued, “Hugh, the damage you did to Bethan can never be erased. As long as she has her memory, she’ll always remember what you put her through. She hasn’t even forgiven you yet, and you’re already making demands?”

“She hasn’t killed you-that’s already being generous. And you still dare to feel sorry for yourself and make demands of her? Are you so sure she can never escape

you?”

Hugh opened his eyes and glared at Mason.

After Mason left, Bethan never came back.

High didn’t sleep at all that night.

The next day was Saturday.

Starting at eight in the morning, the hospital room was packed with visitors.

Hugh’s parents, Logan, the household staff, and Jacob hung around the room, bustling about.

Wave after wave of visitors came and went, bringing flowers and fruit, but there was no sign of Bethan.

As evening approached and things finally quieted down, Bethan showed up at the hospital.

The moment Ryan saw her, his face darkened. “Hugh’s in the hospital and you’re not here taking care of him? Where the hell have you been?”

Bethan glanced at Hugh in the hospital bed. “Don’t you guys have it covered?”

Hugh cut in before his father could respond. “Mom, Dad, you’ve been here all day. Go home and rest.”

Fiona gave Bethan a pointed look and hauled Ryan out of Eelroom before he could argue.

Once everyone was gone, the hospital room fell quiet- just Bethan and Hugh left.

It had been a full day and night since she’d last seen him. Bethan couldn’t help but notice how worn down he

looked.

“It’s not like I didn’t want to be here,” Bethan said. “You drove me away yesterday with the things you said. You can’t blame me for that.”

Hugh sat on the bed, watching Bethan standing by the window. He turned and pulled a small dessert box from the drawer, “Your ‘son’ left this for you.”

Bethan walked over and took the small box from Hugh’s

hands.

She hadn’t expected Calvin to visit Hugh too.

Then again, he was a lawyer. They knew how to play the

game.

Seeing Bethan turn to leave with the dessert box, Hugh reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her to sit on theledge of the bed.

Hugh held both of Bethan’s wrists and said, “I know you don’t want to take care of me. I’ll check out first thing tomorrow morning so you can focus on your work.”

Bethan looked at Hugh suspiciously.

These past few days, Calvin had sent him legal notices, James had stolen his projects, he’d almost been hit by Arthur’s car, and yesterday she’d left him in the hospital for a full day and night… yet he hadn’t blown up at her. He’d been backing down the whole time.

Bethan felt suspicious, “What exactly are you trying to pull?”

Hugh let go of Bethan’s wrists and said, “Bethan, I haven’t eaten all day.”

Speechless, Bethan got up to get Hugh something to eat.

Late that night.

Hugh gently lifted the sleeping Bethan from the couch and carried her to the bed.

He sat beside the bed, holding Bethan’s hand and staring5

at her for a long time.

The next morning, Bethan woke up in the hospital bed.

Seeing Bethan awake, Hugh reminded her, “Logan just brought breakfast. Come eat something.”

After washing up, Bethan double-checked, “You’ve really decided to get discharged?”

Hugh hummed in response and pulled Bethan down to sit and eat breakfast.

Bethan asked again, “You won’t go after Mr. Locke anymore, will you?”

Hugh set down the spoon he’d just picked up. He looked at her. “If he’s your friend, then I won’t give him a hard

time.”

The tension in Bethan’s expression gradually melted

away.

She picked up a cherry tomato and held it up to Hugh’s mouth. “You’re still recovering. Eat up.”

As he watched her smile, something shifted in Hugh’s gaze-his eyes growing darker, more intense.

Jacob knocked, “Mr. Cavill, the car’s at the hospital entrance.”

Seeing Hugh get up, Bethan helpfully handed him his suit jacket.
