Pregnant With Twins: My CEO’s Tricky Love novel Chapter 618

"You've lost a lot of weight."

The two looked at each other in silence for a long time, and the first to break the silence was Aston.

His heart ached with pain.

Kayden, who had once been so beautiful, had now lost a lot of weight.

He couldn't imagine what Kayden had gone through to become so thin. He could tell that Kayden's eyes weren't even as bright as they used to be, and she seemed a lot weaker.

"You know how I am, so you know that being thin isn't a big deal to me. I need to be relieved of my dependence on that drug. As long as I can pull it off, I'll grow fat by eating more later."

Kayden finished her words optimistically. She seemed to be in a good mood.

It turned out that after actually seeing Aston, all those pent-up misses tumbled out instead. It was amazing that she was actually missing someone.

"I'll cure you of your secret. Don't worry. You'll get out of that place and then travel like a normal person and be able to play everywhere. You'll never be coerced again, and you'll never depend on these things again."

"Miss Lane told me that you've been busy in the lab every day for me. Will it be hard? Actually, it's always been me who's wronged you, and it's always been me who's acted arbitrarily. You didn't have to do that."

Kayden said in a downcast voice, while Aston hurriedly spoke up.

"I don't blame you for cheating on me in the first place. Everyone has their own difficulties, and I don't care about the deception between us back then anymore. I just want you to get well soon. You have not wronged me. I'm the one who wasn't strong enough for you to rely on, so you had to deal with the problems you faced in your own way. I'm not tired at all either, and I live every day to the fullest. Just like before in the lab, I went to work during the day to do the research I loved and came home at night and rested. You know, I'm not much of an entertainer. I used to read books at home even if I didn't work so many shifts in the lab. I just don't have any more recreational time now, but I'm not hurting my body. You mustn't think I can't take care of myself."

Kayden suddenly felt a little sad and lowered her head. She felt her eyes were already filled with tears, but she didn't want to expose this vulnerable expression to Aston.

"Actually, I've often wondered that if I hadn't chosen you in the first place, wouldn't I have caused you so much trouble and even brought you harm?"

Kayden hung her head and spoke slowly.

"I didn't grow up the same way as you did. I was an orphan when I was a child and I grew up in struggles. Maybe I wasn't meant to be kind. It was your bad luck to meet me. If I hadn't met Mr. Knight back then, maybe my life would have been rotten and miserable. But he saved me and nurtured me. He was the best person for me at that time, so I served him to repay him and did a lot of unpleasant things for him. I've never regretted it."

"Even when I was coerced into being with Eric, I didn't regret choosing you then, but I regret now that I chose you as a target in the first place. The more I see you being nice to me and the more I see you not caring about what happened back then, the harder it will actually be for me. I don't even know what I'm dwelling on, and what I'm being pretentious about. But I just don't know how I can make up for cheating on you and hurting you back then, even if you didn't even mind."

This was what was on Kayden's mind and she decided to say it after a long consideration.

She always felt that her presence had brought disaster and misery to Aston.

Perhaps Aston's life would have been happier without her.

"If I could have regretted it or had ifs, I would have wished I had gone to the orphanage and found you at a very young age and protected you. If I could have made the choice, I would have rushed to research the drug before I even met you, so that you wouldn't have to be hurt. If I could have made the choice, I would have wished I had found someone to protect you when you were just born."

"You always think that if what happens, I'll meet someone better, but the truth is that if I hadn't met you, I could have ended up alone. Why do you dwell on things like this that never happened? Maybe if I hadn't met you, I would have even gotten into a car accident and passed away. I've never tried so hard before I met you. I had a very steady and happy time. That feeling of working hard for the love of your life is very fulfilling. In fact, it's not a difficult time for me, rather I feel happy."

This statement silenced Kayden for a long, long time. She hadn't expected Aston's thoughts to be like this.

She was always worried that Aston would blame her at some point and would resent her when he felt bad. Maybe he really liked her, but her deception and hurt might make them end up hurting each other more and more.

Yet Aston's thoughts were not at all what she had guessed. It was surprising that he really didn't even mind the whole thing anymore.

So it was just herself who had been putting her in torment and pain?

"Miss Lane said you wanted to see me. Aston, maybe I was thinking too much and that's why I didn't believe that you really wouldn't mind what I did before. Of course, I do mind myself being so unpleasant now. If you’re really willing to wait for me, come to see me when I am at least halfway through my treatment I can't even be sure when I'll wake up, or what I'm doing when my sanity doesn't exist. I hope I will never look unpleasant and crazy in front of you. Will you wait for me?"
