Chapter 198 When Hailey firmly said those words, his heart suddenly felt like a plece was missing with emptiness, as if he had lost something. His eyes filled with tears as he shook his head, “No, if she really died, you wouldn’t have cremated her so quickly..” How could Jason, who loved her so much, bear to turn her into ashes in an instant? Hailey looked at him coldly, suddenly feeling that he was really pathetic. At this point, he still refused to face reality. She was silent for a moment, then spoke coldly. “It was Eleanor who heard Sophie’s voice and requested immediate cremation after her death” It was her request to be cremated immediately after her death… It was because he didn’t come to see her for the last time, and let Sophie hurt her. So, she didn’t want him to see her for the last time ether? Not even her body? When he realized she was leaving this world with such regret and unwillingness, Bernard felt his blood instantly freeze. He felt as if he had been drained, unable to support himself as he leaned against the wall and slumped onto the cold floor The unbearable pain was like a hand squeezing his heart, stealing his breath away in an instart. Hailey looked at Bernard’s pale face on the ground and found it ridiculous. “You just treated her as a substitute for Sophie, and now you’re acting like you love Eleanor so much. You’re not worthy of her!”
Bernard locked up at Hailey. “I never treated her as a substitute..” Hailey showed discan, “Saying this now is useless. Eleanor thought she was Sophie’s replacement when she was alive.” He lowered ha head, without retorting, as boundless darkness enveloped him, wrapping him up and plunging him into silence. After a long time, he opened his mouth but made no sound, then spoke with a trembling voice. When
was her heart failure diagnosed?” Hailey didn’t leave, wanting to stay and provoke him. When he finally asked about the heart failure, she couldn’t help but ridicule him, ‘You slept with her for five years and dient know, how would 17″ That was night, he had been with her for five years and didn’t know about it. What a joke to ask her friend… Hailey thought for a moment, then said. She was diagnosed with heart failure before signing the agreement with you.” She didn’t want to say it at first, but she felt like she should tell him. Just how indifferent had he been to Eleanor all these years! Bernard stiffened, his face even paler. So she had heart failure so early, and he didn’t even notice. No, he did notice once.. It had happened four years ago… He remembered that night; he couldn’t bear to leave her. He couldn’t help but hold her as they fell asleep, only to hear her calling Garett’s name in her sleep He was pis sed and pushed her away. Maybe he pushed her too hard, and she woke up, suddenly gasping for air She reached out to him with difficulty, begging him to take her to the hospital… But he was furious at the time, not knowing she had a heart condition, so he ignored her and even used money to humiliate her and vent his anger, Thinking back, a strong guilt surged into his heart, making it difficult to breathe. From congenital heart disease, then heart failure, to the late stage of the condition, she had never told him, perhaps she had already given up hope on him. Hailey said, “Dr. Terrill said if she hadn’t been beaten, she could have lived for two more months relying on medication, but you inflicted such severe injuries on her. Bernard, it’s one thing for your cousin and fiancée to take revenge on her, but why did you also hurt her? After all these years together, don’t you have any feelings for her at all?”
What did it mean for him to be here if he really had no feelings? If he did have feelings, why did he hurt her with those two evil women? Hailey’s words were like sharp needles piercing his palm, making him pale with pain. He lowered his head slowly looking at his right hand… It was this hand that slapped her, causing her to fall onto the nails. If he hadnt hit her, maybe she could have lived for another two months…. It was him who killed her… Yet, the day he decided to terminate their agreement, she still begged him to stay. She carefully asked him if they could wait a Intle longer since the contract only had hall a year luft. But he remained stent and looked at her coldly His cold gaze made her too afraid to say another word. She even pretended to joke, afraid he’d think she was clinging to him 17:04 Chapter 198 Bernard thought of the helpless and desperate feelings beneath her seemingly calm and beautiful smile, and his heart ached deeply. She had accompanied him for five years without any complaints despite her heart failure. But what had he done? Not only did he ignore her feelings with Indifference, but a single slap also took away the limited time she had left…novelbin
