He had grown up under the guidance and protection of Philip since childhood. Especially after the kidnapping incident, the absence of parental love and care made him even more dependent on Philip. Philip was the elder he trusted most, like a father to him. In the previous life, more than 70% of the information he investigated was conveyed to him through Philip’s words. Especially regarding matters related to him, he entrusted them all to Philip to handle personally for the sake of caution and authenticity. Therefore, all the information he knew about me later was transmitted through Philip. Mistake after mistake, hatred after hatred, the truth was finally uncovered after my death. This… this is such a disgusting coincidence!
He had always been played between the palms of others! Winson tightly closed his eyes and gave himself two hard slaps. His heart was tight, as if held in a death grip, and he was almost unable to breathe. He felt more and more panicked and fearful, as if death was imminent.
He got up, put away the photos, and quickly left the room. As soon as he got downstairs, he saw Philip coming in from outside.
Seeing his pale complexion, Philip hurriedly stepped forward to support him and asked in concern, “Winson, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Seeing the worry in Philip’s eyes, Winson felt a moment of confusion and pain in his forehead. He clenched his fists and spoke in a deep voice, “Philip, I have a question for you.”
Philip looked at Winson attentively and replied, “Please go ahead, Winson.”
“Have you ever been betrayed by someone?” Winson asked.
Philip shook his head in confusion and asked, “No, Winson. Why do you ask that? Has something happened?”
Winson looked at Philip, his expression complex. Even Philip, who knew him very well, couldn’t understand his emotions at the moment. Seeing that he remained silent, Philip called out to him in a worried voice, “Winson?”
Winson averted his gaze and said coldly, “It’s nothing. You go ahead and do what you need to do. I’ll go out for a bit.”
Seeing Winson’s bad complexion, Philip quickly stepped forward and said, “Winson, where are you going? Let me go with you.”
“It’s alright, I can handle it myself,” he replied as he walked towards the entrance. “You don’t need to follow me.”
As he left the villa, his breathing became increasingly heavy. The driver followed his instructions and took him to my studio.
Winson stretched out his arms and wrapped me tightly in his embrace…
I pushed Winson away with all my strength.
Has he gone crazy? “What are you doing, Winson? Let me go immediately!”
Winson’s voice was filled with sorrow. “Natasha, I miss you so much. I miss you terribly.”
“What’s wrong?”
“I was wrong. I was so wrong, Natasha. My life is like a joke… I was fooled and my heart was crushed by the one I loved the most. I regret it so much. I hate myself. If I die, will the hate in your heart lessen? Will you be happy again? Can you tell me…?”
Winson hugged me like a helpless child, as if I were his last straw of life. I didn’t know what had happened, but Winson’s emotions made me feel uneasy.
Before I could react, Winson’s body stiffened and fell back, as if it was his last breath.
“Winson,” I saw his closed eyes and instinctively grabbed him, pulling him towards me. Winson was completely unconscious, and his entire weight fell onto my body. His head hung on my shoulder.
However, my figure was too weak, and we both fell to the ground. A jumped out from under Winson, half supporting and half carrying his body, urgently shouting: “Winson, wake up!”
“Quick, call an ambulance.”
Soon, I accompanied Winson to the hospital in an ambulance.
Soon, I accompanied Winson to the hospital in an ambulance. In the hospital, after Edward conducted a simple examination on Winson, he turned to me and asked with concern, “What happened today? How did he get such a big shock?”
I shook my head, also baffled, “I don’t know.”
Edward looked at me incredulously, “How could you not know? Who else could have such a big impact on him besides you?”
“This time, it really has nothing to do with me. He came to tell me some strange things and fainted.”
He looked at Winson dubiously, “Then something big must have happened, because Winson is not a fragile person.”
After giving Edward a glance, I also looked at Winson’s pale and handsome face, pondering in my heart.
It was clear that his emotions today were related to the events of his past life. But what could have made him so excited in his previous life?
After Edward left, Winson woke up less than half an hour later.
Seeing me, he reached out and held my hand, locking his gaze on my face.
“Winson, what happened today? Why did you go crazy alone?”
Winson’s sorrowful gaze turned around on my face, and he said with guilt, “You may be right about your guess.”
I was confused, “What did I guess?”
“Philip!”
My heart skipped a beat, and I stared at him, “You… found something out?”
Winson nodded and told me about the photo, the suspicion about Uncle’s death, and his repeated listening to Philip’s investigation reports about the things that hurt and harmed me.
Then I understood why Winson had fainted.
No one understood better than I did what Philip meant to him. Philip was an existence like his father…
To be betrayed by someone he trusted and relied on so much, Winson’s heart must have been so painful, as was evident.
While Winson was receiving the IV infusion, he said with sadness, “Natasha, I… I know that no matter how many apologies I make, they will be useless, but I really know that I was wrong.
Because of someone else’s calculation, I forced you all to die. Every time I think of the hatred in your eyes towards me at that time, I just… I’m really… truly sorry.”
