Taming My Arrogant Husband novel Chapter 87

"That was my biggest mistake as a father and as a person. If only I could go back in time and change everything that happened, I would be a better person and a good father to my son."

"But you can't, because you've chosen your path and you've chosen to be that way."

"I'm sorry."

I gasped when he held my hand. I tried to remove it from his grip but seeing the tears that flowing again from his eyes stopped me from doing so. 

"I know it is too much to ask and I don't have the right to ask you, but I'm begging you, Belle." He said his eyes were full of sadness, pain, and despair. "I can't change what happened, but I know I can still change my son's life. He was an innocent boy but I turned him into a monster."

I took my hand away and tried to push back my own tears. 

"I will tell him your words." I said not looking at him. 

"Thank you, Belle. I'll bring this even in my second life." He smiled but a smile that didn't even reach his eyes. 

"I have to go and don't worry I will tell him your words."

And I immediately left his room when he nodded. 

I was just a few meters away from his room when I saw some doctors and nurses running towards my direction. I stopped walking and stood aside to give them way. But my eyes widened when they all entered the room where I had just left. 

I came back to see what's happening just to be shocked by what I saw. 

"Oh, my God!" My hand automatically lifted over my chest. 

They were now performing CPR towards an almost lifeless body of Nicholas. Then they all stopped and we all turned to the monitor when we heard its beep and showed the straight line. 

"Ora della morte, 13:30." (Time of death, 1:30 pm)

And everything went so fast. How can this happen so fast? Not even an hour has passed, it's just about 30 minutes, no 10 minutes. I was just talking to him 10 minutes ago and now he's gone. 

I really wanted to cry, but I was so shocked that I couldn't find my tears. 

....................., .,....., ...............

"Ooh ... guarda chi c'è, mia bella Belle." (Ooh... look who's here, my beautiful Belle)

Joseph's first greeting when he saw me in the waiting area. He still has a vicious grin that I know, that if I had never seen his father die earlier and if I hadn't heard his final words towards him, maybe I would have screamed right away just by seeing that evil grin of him. 

"I didn't come here for myself."

"So for whom, for your husband?"

I sighed and ignored him by asking the question that came first in my head. 

"How much do you love your father?"

That seemed shocked him that he knitted his eyebrows and his grin disappeared. 

"My father has nothing to do with this." He suddenly lowered his tone and for the first time he avoided my gaze after answering my question. 

"He wanted me to tell you how much he loves you---"

"What are you talking about? When did you talk to my father?"

I gasped as he slammed his hands on the table, glaring at me. But I chose to ignore him and kept talking.
