Chapter 19
“Hunter, give up.”
A few people including Quentin stood in the ward, shaking their heads as they looked at Hunter’s unwilling expression.
After they went to France, they found out about what Hunter had done to Lena in the past, and couldn’t believe that their longtime good friend was capable of such things.
“Lena already has a new boyfriend, you should give up early.”
At this moment, the person next to me spoke up: “Damn it, Hunter, you are just a complete jerk! I can’t believe I felt sorry for you and stood up for you back then.”
“Lena is such a good girl, you deserve to be abandoned!!”
The situation suddenly got out of control, and several people tried to stop him from speaking, but he kicked open the door of the ward.
“Hunter, from today on I am not your brother anymore!”
In the hospital room, Hunter silently watched as all of this happened, then turned to look out the window.
Several people caught up with him and tried to persuade him, but only his childhood friend Quentin remained in the hospital room, at a loss for what to do.
“Hunter, this time you were really wrong. Let Lena go, she has a new life now and won’t come back to you.”
After speaking, he sighed deeply, as if very disappointed in Hunter, and
walked out of the ward without looking back.
Hunter stared blankly at the ceiling, then suddenly went crazy and smashed all the instruments around him to the ground.
“Ah! he burst out in a helpless roar, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins.”
The medical staff rushed in and stopped him, securely handcuffing him to
the bed.
A tear slowly slid down from the corner of Hunter’s
He regretted it.
eye.
He regretted not cherishing Lena, who once loved him deeply, and regretted throwing away their eight years of love with his
own hands.
Now that his lover has gone away, his brothers also sneered at him.
Hunter clenched his fists tightly, and pounded them in agony on the hospital bed.
Eleanor… If it weren’t for this woman, everything would not have changed…
I will make you pay for it.
After being discharged from the hospital, Hunter had not fully recovered yet. He limped back to the office with a cane.
The work that needed to be dealt with was still piling up like a mountain, but he remained indifferent.
He stood in front of the floor–to–ceiling window in the office, overlooking the entire city, and made a phone call.
The phone across the room was almost immediately picked up.
01:16
“Hunter!”
Eleanor’s voice, long absent, resounded. After several months of absence, her voice had lost its former sweetness and gained a hint of pleading.
“Hunter, you finally decided to look for me! I’m sorry, it was my fault, forgive me Hunter…”
On the other end of the phone, there was a quiet sobbing, the tone was very pitiful, but Hunter listened with gritted teeth.
His eyes were cold, but his tone was unusually gentle: “Well… I have thought it through. Since Lena wants to break up with me, I will let her go.”
“So, let’s find a chance to meet up.”
“Sure, Hunter! I’m willing to go wherever you want me to. Do you want to go back to the villa? Or should I come to your office to find you?”
Eleanor’s tone was somewhat ingratiating, as if she was trying hard to play the role of being obedient, and her voice had returned to its former
sweetness.
“Then tomorrow afternoon at five o’clock, let’s go to the fishing village where you first saved me, and catch up.”
“Do you want to go back to the fishing village?! Eleanor was pleasantly surprised to hear this and without much thought, she agreed to the
request.”
After hanging up the phone, Hunter looked out the window at the humans below, who seemed like ants.
“Eleanor, it’s time to settle the score with you, he muttered to himself,
then turned and left the office.”
The next afternoon, Hunter drove his off–road vehicle and arrived at the
01170
entrance of the fishing village on time.
Eleanor was wearing a white long dress, looking pure and lovely, as if she had been waiting for a long time.
Perhaps it was because Hunter had said on the phone yesterday that he wanted to catch up with her, she really dressed up in her old style, just like they did when they first met.
From a distance, she saw Hunter park the car and walk down with the luggage. She ran over and affectionately reached out to hold his arm.
“Hunter, I miss you so much.”
Hunter forced a smile, suppressing his disgust.
“Let’s go and see the place where we used to live.”
“Great! Eleanor felt that the Hunter who had once doted on her had returned, thinking that he had completely changed his mind and became extremely excited.”
And behind her, Hunter watched her excited figure silently as he tightened the suitcase handle.
