Chapter 14
The despair in Darwin’s eyes had gradually faded away, and now he had returned to his usual calm demeanor.
He had just almost been deceived, but fortunately, he found the flaw.
Tamara’s right ring finger had been injured, with traces of a fracture on the middle phalanx bone. Although the right ring finger of the corpse just now was wearing Tamara’s diamond ring, the phalanx bone was intact, obviously not belonging to her.
Since it had been confirmed that the body was not Tamara, Darwin naturally would not lose his composure again.
“Dad, even though I don’t understand why you had to use a fake corpse to trick me, I can tell you for sure that I will never marry into the He family. In this lifetime, I have only one wife, Tamara.
“Even if you refuse to tell me her whereabouts, I will definitely find her.”
Watching his departing figure, George couldn’t help but sigh in the end.
The next morning, the doctor called to say that Bella was causing a scene at the hospital, threatening to commit suicide.
When Darwin arrived, she had already maneuvered the wheelchair and climbed onto the hospital rooftop.
Perhaps it was because of the large fluctuations in mood yesterday, seeing her like this, Darwin just felt exhausted.
In the end, Darwin did save the man.

Bella’s face turned pale as she repeatedly expressed her despair to him.
Darwin, however, just looked at her face indifferently, saying nothing.
Not like.
It turned out not to be like that.
Tamara was strong and stubborn, never showing any sign of vulnerability.
Her eyes were always sharp, with a determination that refused to give in. Every time he looked into them, his heart couldn’t help but race.
Bella and her, they were never close at all.
Unfortunately, he discovered it too late.
He didn’t fully wake up until she left.
“Darwin, I heard that Tamara died.”
Bella suddenly grabbed his hand.
Although she concealed it well, Darwin still noticed the fleeting joy in her eyes, and her face instantly turned cold.
“What? She died, and you’re happy?”
Tamara let her down so badly that Bella couldn’t help but be happy to hear the news of her enemy’s death.
She did not realize Darwin’s unease and eagerly said, “Darwin, you and she have been married for eight years after all. Now that she has had an accident, I know it may be difficult for you to accept it for a while. But after all, the dead cannot be brought back to life. Those of us who are still alive must look forward, right?”

Darwin remained silent, and Bella assumed that he had taken in her words. Then, thinking of Tamara’s face, which was similar to hers, she instantly gained confidence.
Bella suddenly threw herself into Darwin’s arms and said affectionately, “Darwin, I know that you have never forgotten me all these years, and neither have I! Now that Tamara is gone, there is no obstacle between us. From now on, let’s be together, okay?”
She was too forgetful to notice Darwin’s increasingly strange expression.
“Obstacle?”
Darwin was almost laughing scornfully.
“Bella, how come I never noticed this side of you before? It’s really eye- opening.”
That affectionate face made him feel disgusted to the extreme.
A strange sense of absurdity gradually welled up in his heart, as if all these years he had never truly seen or understood the person in front of
him.
Ever since Bella saved him from the fire, Darwin has fallen in love with
her.
She had just come of age when she got together with him, but halfway through, the Xavier family had an accident, and he was sent back by his father. It was the darkest period of his life, and Bella suddenly wanted to break up with him.
He tried to persuade her to stay, even begged her, but she still refused to stay for him. In less than half a year, she got engaged to a wealthy young
man.

Chapter 14
Until three months ago, Bella suddenly returned. She pleaded with an explanation, saying that she had difficulties back then. It was her mother who forced her to break up at the cost of her life. She struggled in vain and could only compromise.
He also said that his time was running out, and at the end of his life, he wanted to come back and see him one last time.
Darwin believed.
Looking back now, her arguments at that time were full of loopholes. Despite considering himself clever, he was completely fooled by Bella, causing him to repeatedly hurt the heart of his beloved.
Darwin, sensitive and suspicious by nature, was too preoccupied by a series of recent events to investigate Bella’s feigned illness. Now, with Bella acting strangely once again, he began to wonder if there were other things she had lied to him about besides pretending to be sick.
At this moment, Darwin’s gaze towards Bella became more scrutinizing.
Seeing him like this, Bella finally realized that something was wrong.
She gripped Darwin’s hand tightly, her voice trembling.
“Darwin, you weren’t… rejecting me, were you?”
“But I am also a victim, aren’t I? It was Tamara who made me like this! Darwin, you can’t reject me! If even you do, then I really don’t know what the meaning of living is anymore…”
She became more and more excited as she spoke, and in the end, she was even in tears.
In the past, Darwin might have felt sorry, but now, he just finds it annoying.

He withdrew his hand in silence.
“You were tired, take a good rest.”
He left without looking back after he finished speaking.
As so
soon as he stepped out, he dialed the butler’s phone number.
“Let someone investigate Bella, the more thorough the better.”
