Overwhelmed by lots of emotions, Miyamoto looked at Pippa’s face blankly with his complicated eyes. After looking at Vincent and Leila, he turned around and left.
Leila did not expect Vincent would describe Pippa as that. Since Pippa had just woke up, wouldn’t he worry that she would commit suicide again after listening to his words?
When she gently pulled Vincent’s hands, he turned around and gave her a comforting smile because he understood her worries.
Pippa cried desperately but if Vincent did not say this to her, what would happen to her? How could she commit suicide? Lives were so precious and we only lived once. How could she have wasted her opportunity to live?
Pippa was stunned when she saw Vincent hold her hands and it seemed like it hurt more. So, she cried even more desperately. Leila thought that perhaps Pippa loved Vincent.
If not, how could she be so dependent on him and cry for him? Did she commit suicide because she was unable to love Vincent or because she could not bear with Miyamoto’s abuse?
Was there any grievance and pain that people could not bear in this world? Apparently yes, humans never like to feel wronged. For example, she had always wanted to bear with all the grievances but she just could not.
At that moment, it seemed like Pippa was so pitiful. What’s wrong with love?
At that moment, Miyamoto was even more pathetic. Because of love, he was willing to hug his beloved woman with bare feet and rushed to the hospital due to the emergency! Only the scene like this proved that he truly loved Pippa but how deep was his love?
Leila took away her hands because she preferred to leave some quiet space to Vincent and Pippa. Perhaps Vincent had something to talk to Pippa personally.
Vincent looked at Leila with his deep eyes and he held her hand tightly as if rejecting to let her leave. Leila could not move at all and was pulled by him.
To her surprise, Vincent loved another girl. Pippa moved away her eyes and her tears dropped down aggrievedly. Her dream was completely broken.
She could feel his indifference and he showed his gentle side to Leila who stood aside. She thought that Vincent would not fall in love with another woman and he was just taking revenge on her only. But…
“Pippa, feel what Miyamoto gave you. On the other hand, what you gave to him? I hope that you will not be foolish again. We will be visiting you again and hope that you will be more mature and more optimistic!” After Vincent said that, he left while holding her hands.
“Vincent, do you want to leave now?” Pippa shouted hurriedly at the moment when Vincent turned around, looking at Vincent’s back with her tearful eyes. Was he the Vincent that used to be gentle and soft? How could he be so cruel to her?
Miyamoto who stood at the doorway showed a pale look as a result of huge surprise and severe pain. She still loved Vincent and she only loved that man!
Vincent stood still and did not turn around but said gently to Leila, “Leila, where do we go for our honeymoon?”
Leila was stunned as she did not know what he meant. Did he want to make use of her to provoke Pippa or break off her thought? Did he think of something?
Did he know that the reason that Pippa was dependent on him was love?
She did not dare to talk and did not want to talk. She did not like the feelings that were being made use of.
When Vincent wanted to leave with Leila, there was a sudden scream from behind.
“Vincent…” Pippa screamed loudly. “Do you want to ignore me? Do you want to ignore me?”
Vincent turned his head and he looked at her indifferently at this time.
Pippa showed her expectant eyes and said, “Vincent…”
But when she clearly saw that there was only indifference in Vincent’s eyes, her heart was totally broken. It was because Vincent totally did not care for her as she was not in his eyes. “Do you want to ignore me?”
Vincent smiled and said, “Pippa, you are always my sister!”
Only sister!
“But I love you!” She finally said it. She said it today after enduring it silently for many years.
Leila was extremely astonished and she sympathetically looked at Miyamoto who stood beside the door. It seemed impossible for Pippa to express her love to another man in front of him. It was such a huge sarcasm.
“Really?” Vincent’s sound was warm as usual but there was a sense of indifference in his words. He always joked around that he would marry her but it was only a joke. “Can you really differentiate love and family love? Or you just like to be dependent on me and did you misunderstand any of my jokes? Pippa, if so, I would like to apologize! I never want to marry you and never think that you love me. Our relationship is just family love and I hope that you can differentiate the two. Don’t lose someone who really loves you!”
“Vincent! What can I do for you?” Tears were dropping more heavily on her white cheek. “I want to die but in vain… If I die successfully, everything will be over.”
When listening, Leila turned her head to look at Miyamoto and saw him standing quietly at the doorway. There was a sense of stress emitting in the atmosphere around.
He frowned and showed a cold facial expression but his eyes were filled with loneliness and gloom. The sorrow was fatal.
After listening to Pippa’s words, Miyamoto’s eyes became deeper and his fists were tightened unintentionally. She finally admitted that she loved Vincent. Miyamoto almost collapsed but surprisingly, Vincent was extraordinary calm.
Leila felt sorry for Miyamoto but Pippa’s crying made her slightly amused. She suddenly looked at her and said, “Pippa, don’t you think that you are so boring?”
“You…” Pippa raised her head suddenly to look at Leila and asked, “Are you scolding me?”
“Yes! If possible, I would like to slap you but it shouldn’t be done by an educated person!” Leila looked at Pippa with disdain and pointed towards Miyamoto who near the door. She said, “Although I don’t seem right to say so, I really think that you do not deserve this man!”
Pippa was speechless when being asked by Leila so she startled and looked at her.
Leila said, “In order to save you, he rushed to the hospital with bare feet. In what situation would a man forget to wear his shoes? Then, you want to die after failing to love. Do you think that you deserve his love? Do you think that Vincent would love a woman who plans to die anytime? Where is your initial elegance? If you remained your confidence when I met you in HH Restaurant, perhaps Vincent would love you. But, when you turned out to become someone like this, I believe that not even a beggar would love you! Only a man like him who is foolish would love you!”
“But you? Do you treat him fairly? How about your son? At least I know that your son, Owen, is calling Vincent Daddy. Why would you let Owen call Vincent Daddy? You take away Miyamoto’s right to become a father without any reason and do you want to explain that you never love him? If so, why would you have sex with him? Why does this matter to the child?”
Pippa was stunned because she was not clear of what had happened. Leila was frustrated with her!
Leila flung Vincent’s hand and stood still there. Her eyes were sharp as if two lamps were shooting strong light in the dark. She stared at Vincent ferociously and then looked at Pippa.
At the moment, Pippa was frightened by her fierce attitude. She could not bear it but hold the blanket tightly. She was like a frightened bird looking for shelter. She hid herself half in the blanket and exposed some of her eyes to look at Leila cowardly.
Leila stared still at her and said, “Did you say that he raped you? Even if he raped you for the first time and you are pregnant, you can induce an abortion but why would you marry him? Since you are married and plan to give birth to the baby, shouldn’t you cherish it? But, why would you like to divorce before giving birth to the baby? Of course, I should not be the one to say this, but I really cannot bear with you. Since you have already given birth to a child, shouldn’t you take the responsibility as a mother? Are you a human when you committed suicide and left your child alone? Would you be committing suicide again if Vincent rejected your confession?
Pippa was astonished by Leila’s merciless words. She forgot her tears and looked at Leila as if her words were so touching.
She even forgot to react because she was truly examining herself!
Would a man fall in love with such a woman like this? Except for Miyamoto? Why did he love her?
“Pippa, I don’t like you from the moment I met you. You have an elegant personality but also are hypocritically courteous. I really don’t like this kind of feeling. I can bear with my sister because I owe her and I can also bear with my mother as she is my mother. I can tolerate my father and also Vincent. However, I don’t owe you anything and you even express your love to my man today in front of me. Let me tell you, it is impossible! Keeping a low profile doesn’t mean that I’m weak and when I remain silent without indicating my stand, do not think that I am easy to bully on. I look down on you! So, I will not let a woman like you take over my man. Even though you committed suicide before and perhaps you want to repeat it afterwards, it is none of my business. I do not owe you anything! When you want to die, please go away from us and do not let us know! It’s disgusting!”
Vincent and Miyamoto did not speak a word but looked at Leila only. No one would think that such a slim woman could say something that hurt like that. It seemed like the words were merciless, but they were reasonable. Vincent was thinking that he did not understand Leila at all because she scolded Pippa beyond his expectations.
Vincent really thought that Leila would criticize Pippa. Of course, someone should criticize Pippa but he did not know how efficient this method was.
“Vincent, do you want to leave? I don’t want to stay here!” Leila said with a deep voice and looked at Miyamoto, “You love her with much of toil and I really pity you but you are a strong person who doesn’t need my sympathy. Hence, I could only say that you love a wrong person!”
