Bella listened to Kevin’s heartfelt words, shed tears silently, choked for a long time before carefully asking, “Don’t you hate me anymore?”
Kevin spoiled her by kissing her forehead, “No, my Bella is already pitiful.”
“Don’t you really hate me at all? I have thought of using you.”
“I really don’t hate you anymore. I’m the only heartache for you now. As for using you, go ahead, I’m willing to be used by you.”
Bella smiled with tears in her eyes, “Kevin, thank you, thank you for giving me the courage to be reborn.”
“The one who should say thank you is me. Thank you for not backing down and giving up every time when facing my ignoring alienation. If it wasn’t for your persistence, how could I have seen my heart in such a short time?”
Who said that love only broke hearts? Until this moment, Bella was convinced that love also had a healing effect. She and Kevin, healed the indelible wounds in each other’s hearts. Both because of one word of love, she healed the wounds of love in his heart, while he healed the wounds of family affection in her heart.
“Do you mean that from now on I can rely on you?”
Kevin nodded with certainty, “Yes, from now on, I am the only one you can rely on. I will never let you suffer a little bit of grievance and hurt again.”
Bella was moved to tears again, but said, “Kevin, I hope you are not sympathetic to me. Although what I encountered is very tragic, but you know, what I want is not your sympathy. If I want you to sympathize with me, when you exposed my lies, I would have confessed to you. The reason why I did not confess is that I am afraid that you will think that I am looking for an excuse for what I have done wrong…”
“You’re a fool. I know very well that my feelings for you are not sympathy. So don’t make blind conjectures. Now you listen to me and have a rest. I have something to do. I will come back to you before dark.”
He tucked in Bella, leaned over to kiss her forehead again, and watched her close her eyes nicely before leaving the hospital room at ease.
Kevin personally made a call to Gillian, asking her to come out to meet with him, and asked her mother to come with her to an extremely luxurious hotel.
Gillian suddenly received a phone call from her beloved, and was surprised and uneasy. She asked her mother, “Mom, do you think that Kevin asks us out this time because of Bella?”
“How should I know that?”
Colin was equally uneasy. She thought for a moment, got up and said, “Let’s go.”
“Okay then, I’ll go upstairs and dress up first.”
Gillian ran upstairs and took out a pile of makeup, and was just about to apply it when she remembered what Kevin had humiliated her with last time ‘Please don’t show up in front of me with such heavy makeup next time. I just feel sick.’
She pushed her makeup to the floor and mouthed depressingly, “It’s so annoying.”
Twenty minutes later, Gillian came down from upstairs, and when Colin saw her, she was surprised and raised her eyebrows, “Hey, why don’t you wear makeup today?”
“Forget it, someone said he feels sick when seeing me wearing makeup.”
“Who? Who can’t appreciate it?”
Gillian ignored her, so Colin followed behind and scolded her.
They arrived at the Radisson Hotel, standing at the entrance door. Colin sighed, “Had I known that Kevin was not the legendary devil, I should have let you marry him. Look at this hotel. He invites us for a meal in such an upscale place.”
Gillian said angrily, “So, the person who is blind should be you.”
“You…”
Colin was angry and annoyed, glared at her daughter and growled, “How can you talk about your mother like that?”
They were slandering each other madly, causing people to pass by to treat them as psychopaths.
To the promised box, Gillian forced a smile, knocked on the door. The door opened, and they went in. They saw a row of black-clothed men, each wearing sunglasses, like a gangland. They were trembling with fear to look askance at the leader of them, asked, “Brother-in-law, what does this mean? ”
“Watch your wording, I’m not your brother-in-law.”
Gillian was stunned, and was suddenly a little titillated. Kevin didn’t admit to being her brother-in-law. Didn’t that mean that he hadn’t forgiven Bella yet? She tugged on her mother’s sleeve, gesturing for her to go up and say a few words.
Colin came forward with a flattering face and said, “Son-in-law, why did you invite us for dinner?”
“How come I don’t remember having a mother-in-law like you?”
He asked this and Gillian was even happier, answered slowly, “Well, brother-in-law is really humorous. You hate my sister, but there’s no need to forget about us.”
“Why do I hate Bella?”
Kevin stood up and walked up to her with his arms around his chest, gazed at them sharply.
Gillian was startled and immediately said, “Haven’t you all moved out already?”
“Just because I moved out of the house, you guys bully her, right?”
Kevin questioned again. Colin was a little panicked, pulled her daughter’s arm, “Forget it, we won’t eat this meal today. I appreciate your good intention.”
“Didn’t you hear what I just said? Or did I not make myself clear enough? It’s okay, I can be a little franker. I only have one mother-in-law, and that is Selina.”
When she suddenly heard this name, Colin’s face turned pale. She dragged Gillian to get out, but was stopped by the two brawny men standing outside the door.
“What do you want?”
She turned back and questioned Kevin.
“Since you’ve been here, it won’t be so easy to get out.”
Kevin motioned with his eyes, and a few men behind him swarmed forward to hold them in check.
“Help, someone is trying to kidnap-”
Colin screamed. Kevin sneered, “You can shout harder. I’m the owner of this hotel. No one will save you even if you shout loudly.”
“Brother-in-law, let’s have a talk. Can we not be like this?”
“Do we need a talk? Did you talk to my wife properly when you took her?”
Gillian’s face fell, “That woman cheated you so badly. Why are you still sticking up for her?”
“So, then, I should be grateful that you avenged me, right?”
“You let me and my mother go.”
“I’ll let you go, but it’s not now yet.”
Kevin took a small vial of liquid from Alvin and held it up to Gillian’s head and shook it, “Do you know what this is?”
“… What?” Gillian’s voice began to tremble a little.
“Have a look at yourself.”
He put the bottle in front of her eyes, and once she saw the word ‘sulfuric acid’ on it, Gillian almost fainted. She was crying and begging, “Brother-in-law, no, no, please, never…”
Colin also saw the words sulfuric acid on it and she was horrified, “Son-in-law, we can apologize for what happened to Bella. Don’t hurt my daughter. Otherwise, you will be punished by the law.”
“If you call me son-in-law again, I will throw acid in her face.”
“Fine, I won’t shout, Mr. Jones-Sharp, please be merciful, be merciful, let us go…”
“Why don’t you show mercy when you abuse my wife? I am an even more vicious person than you. Do you think I will show you mercy?”
“Brother-in-law, we could have apologized to Bella!”
“Apologize? What you did to her is not something that can be solved by apologizing. You torturing my wife is torturing me.”
As soon as Kevin spoke, Colin was dragged aside. Then he picked up a whip and squatted down and asked, “It’s this one, isn’t it? Is the torture device that was used on my wife?”
Colin had been frightened to say incoherently, “No, I didn’t… I didn’t…”
“I see it clearly. Now I’ll let you have a taste of being beaten by this whip.”
He raised his hand and slammed the whip down. Colin let out a scream, and after a few quick lashes, Kevin stopped and said to Colin on the ground, “Remember, this is only the beginning.”
“Mom- Mom-”
Gillian was crying and howling, struggling to rush forward, but her arm was firmly controlled and she couldn’t move at all.
Kevin stepped towards her, lifting the bottle of sulfuric acid in his hand, looking back at Colin, “Do you want to continue to pretend to faint? Then your daughter’s face will be ruined.”
Colin crawled up with great pain in her body, until she crawled to the feet of Kevin, kneeling and begging, “I won’t pretend anymore. Please let my daughter go. I won’t pretend anymore…”
Kevin smiled ruthlessly, resolutely opened the bottle, splashed down on Gillian’s face. With a frightening scream, Gillian blacked out and passed out.
Colin was lying on the ground trembling, and didn’t dare to look at her daughter. After a long time, Alvin dragged her up, but incredibly found that her daughter still looked good. She wasn’t disfigured.
