Breaking Point of Divorce (Hugh and Bethan) novel Chapter 348

Chapter 348 What Are You Doing

Miranda got to her feet and said to Bethan, “Hey, honey. Why don’t you take a bath and catch some Z’s? Your dad and I’ll whip up lunch. Once it’s done, we’ll have Barry call you.”

Meanwhile, Arthur ushered Bethan towards her room. “You’ve surely been burning the candle at both ends these days. Hit the hay right now. I’ll wake you up when the food’s ready.”

Bethan reached over and tousled Arthur’s neatly-done hair. “Mr. Locke, thanks a bunch for keeping an eye on my parents while I was gone.”

On the ride home, her parents had filled her in on how Arthur had stepped up.

Those two days when Hugh took her to the island, Arthur had hardly left the Olsen House.

Worried about her mom’s heart, he’d crashed on the sofa, fully dressed, for two nights straight.

She made a mental note to return the favor.

Arthur batted her hand away in mock annoyance. “Come on, stop treating me like a puppy and messing with my hair.”

Flashing a mischievous smile, she said, “I’ll invite Ms. Dixon over to our place some other time. You should drop by and join the fun.”

Seeing Arthur hopping mad, Bethan laughed and shut the door behind her.

A steamy bath, followed by slipping into her cozy cartoon-themed pajamas and nestling into her bed-this little routine worked like magic to lift Bethan’s spirits.

She was hopeful that Hugh had finally seen the light and would leave her be.

Without his constant pestering, she could focus on her own journey and take things at her own speed.

Bethan was about to call Tristen, but found her phone was out of juice.

She hopped out of bed to hunt for the charger and nearly sent a small box on the shelf tumbling to the floor.

Opening the box, she found it filled with relics from her high-school years.

Probably, her mom had packed it up by mistake when they moved.

As Bethan rummaged through the box, her gaze landed on a small clay figurine.

Picking it up, she noticed a prominent crack on its body.

Memories came flooding back to that weekend at the night

market.

She’d badgered Hugh to tag along. At a street corner, there was a stall selling handmade clay figurines.

She’d declared that they were better in pairs and urged Hugh to make one of her while she’d craft one of him.

Grumbling about her being childish, Hugh had reluctantly sat down.

Bethan had fumbled around trying to shape the figurine of Hugh, while he’d sat idly by, scrolling through his phone.

It had taken her well over an hour to finish the lumpy creation.

Looking at the flawed figurine, Bethan sighed, “Yeah, this was so

dumb.”

With that, she flicked the figurine into the trash can.

The already-brittle figurine shattered upon hitting the bottom.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, by the time Mason and Gwen rushed there, Hugh had just been wheeled into the ward.

The doctor gave a heads-up that although Hugh was out of the woods, he’d suffered severe gastric bleeding and had to be hospitalized.

Inside the ward, Harvey and Hugh’s parents wore solemn expressions.

Outside, Jacob was so spooked that he huddled in the corridor, too afraid to step in.

Mason tried to comfort Hugh’s parents, saying, “Mr. Ryan Cavill, since he’s safe now, you two go home and get some rest. I’ll stay here. I’ll give you a call if there’s anything.”

Harvey, who’d been quiet all this time, finally spoke up in a deep voice, “Ryan, come back with me. I’ve got something to talk over with you.”

Stealing a glance at Harvey’s face, Mason said, “Sir Cavill, Mr. Ryan Cavill, with Hugh in this state, don’t push him into that engagement with Alina anymore.”

Gwen quickly nodded in agreement. “Mason’s right. No matter how important the engagement is, it’s not worth my brother’s life!”

Ryan pointed at Gwen. “Your brother’s business is none of your concern. Just go meet the guy tomorrow like you’re told.”

Startled, Gwen ducked behind Mason and didn’t dare to show

her face.

After the Cavill elders left, Mason and Gwen stood by Hugh’s

bedside.

They both let out a sigh as they looked at the unconscious Hugh. 4/6

Gwen grumbled, “Mason, why is my brother such a fool? He didn’t cherish Bethan when she was around, and now that she’s done with him, he’s falling apart.

Mason shot her a look. “It’s all Bethan’s fault for spoiling him. He thought Bethan was so into him that she’d never leave, so he got all cocky.”

“Mason, you’re spot-on. You really can’t spoil guys. The more you do, the more of a jerk they become!”

Mason just stared at her for a few seconds, then nudged her. “You’re no use here. Go home.”
