Breaking Point of Divorce (Hugh and Bethan) novel Chapter 379

Chapter 379 Last Night

Behind the crowd, Gwen watched the jiggling video and let out a pained cry. “Hugh, hold on. I’m gonna go buy a cake and come back to make up for your birthday right now.”

Hugh’s birthday and Bethan’s birthdays were less than half a month apart, and Hugh always postponed his to celebrate with Bethan.

Last month on his birthday, Gwen and her mom dished up a feast and pre-ordered a cake.

But Hugh just vanished. He didn’t show up until the next day.

Seeing Hugh neither showing his face nor saying a word on the video, Mason hung up the phone, helpless.

Not wanting to spoil the fun, he left the place with Gwen without telling Bethan.

Noticing Gwen’s teary eyes over Hugh, Mason hugged her tenderly. “Let’s head to get a cake. I’ll go with you to make it up to your brother.”

Meanwhile, in the house where Hugh and Bethan once lived, the dark room was deathly quiet, save for the light in the

slumped to the floor.

There was a pool of blood beside him, a mix of old, congealed red and fresh scarlet. Nearby lay a toppled pill bottle and scattered tablets.

His right hand was balled into a fist so tight that something in his palm pierced the skin, and blood trickled out.

Hugh’s face was calm, but his eyes, fixed on the ceiling, were blank.

His breathing was faint, yet the tears flowed freely.

With his eyes wide open, his mind was flooded with memories

of Bethan.

As a kid, she was a cute, chubby thing, always chasing after

him.

When she couldn’t keep up, she’d plop down on the floor, throw a tantrum, and wait for him to come back and scoop her

As they got a bit older, Bethan still stuck to him like glue.

When she called him “Huggie”, her voice was like honey.

In their teens, the look in her eyes was full of shy, budding

love.

Bethan clung to him, sometimes flirting boldly and stealing

kisses.

What was more, she’d say to other girls who tried to get close to him, “I’m gonna be his wife.”

He’d never forget the disbelief in her tear-filled eyes when he proposed.

She kept asking if he really meant it, even though the Olsen family was broke.

After they got married, Bethan mellowed out, becoming gentle and caring. He barely noticed the change.

Her smile was always so full of contentment and happiness.

She’d always say she loved him more than herself and that she’d never leave him, no matter what.

But in the end, she left, without a backward glance.

extinguished the light in her smile, and wrecked any chance of

Now, Bethan was independent, confident, and shining.

There were so many great people around her who loved her, and there was no room for Hugh.

Hugh closed his eyes slowly as the tears kept falling.

He used to think true love didn’t exist.

But Bethan gave him the purest, most passionate love.

Now, he finally understood what love and real happiness were, but it was too late.

Filled with regret and pain, he whispered to himself, “Bethy, if there’s a next life, I’ll be a better man, free from all the muck and grime. Bethy, I’m sorry. I love you.”

Suddenly, a strange numbness washed over Hugh, and the searing pain that had been gnawing at him faded away.

His body, which had been taut like a bowstring for ages, gradually went slack.

As his fist unclenched bit by bit, his palm was a grotesque sight -a jumbled mass of mangled flesh and shattered crystal, the two so intertwined that it was impossible to tell where one
