Out of the hospital gate, Kevin angrily reprimanded her. “Do you think your head is made of iron, right? Who told you to come over here and block the bottle? In a dangerous situation like that, you should stay to the side and not move.”
“You’re standing up for me. How could I stand by and see you in danger and stay in place? No matter what, I have to thank you today.”
Kevin waved his hand, “You’re welcome. Even if it’s a stranger, I won’t leave her in the lurch.”
Freya was disappointed because Kevin indirectly told her that he didn’t mean anything else by saving her, but just out of a righteous instinct.
“I’ll pay you back that twenty million.”
“You don’t need to return it. You take it as a reward for you giving me the evidence.”
“I will pay it back. I gave you the evidence out of love for you, but you are paying back the twenty million for me, not for the same reason. If you are doing it because you still have half a residue of love for me, then I will not payback.”
Love couldn’t be calculated, but everything else had to be accounted for clearly.
Kevin shrugged his shoulders, “Then whatever.”
He wouldn’t lie that he still loved her in his heart because he didn’t want Freya to pay back the twenty million.
“Get in the car. I’ll send you back.”
This time Freya did not refuse, silently sat in his car. They rarely spoke all the way. The car stopped at the apartment where she lived. She got out and asked him, “Do you want to go in and sit down?”
Kevin shook his head, “No, it’s already very late.”
“Be careful on the way then.”
“Well, be careful of your wounds too.”
He started the engine and drove away. After driving for less than five minutes, he heard an unfamiliar ringing of a cell phone and looked down in confusion to see that Freya’s cell phone had actually been left in his car.
The phone’s caller ID was her aunt. Kevin knew Freya had an aunt, but he had seen her before. He was hesitant to answer, thinking that now that he and Freya had broken up, and it was inevitably a little strange to answer her phone again. So he hung up the phone, turned the car around, and drove back.
Returning to the door of Freya’s apartment, he took her phone and knocked on the door, knocking for a while, but no one answered. Seeing that the door was ajar, he reached out and pushed it open, shouting softly, “Freya, are you there?”
There was no response, he hesitated for a few seconds and walked straight in, putting her phone on the table.
When he turned around and was about to go out, he bumped into Freya, who was surprised and asked, “Kevin, didn’t you leave?”
He pointed behind him, “You left your phone in my car, and your aunt had just called you. I was afraid there was something urgent, so I sent it back to you.”
Freya slapped her forehead, “Looks like I’m smashed out of my mind. I wasn’t so forgetful before.”
She smiled apologetically and pointed to the living room couch, “Since you’re here, let’s have a drink before you leave.”
“No, you rest early.”
Kevin was about to leave, but was dragged by Freya to sit down on the sofa without any hesitation, “Even if you want to keep your distance from me no matter how much you want to, you don’t have to be so aloof.”
She ran to the refrigerator, pouring juice as she said, “I just went to take out the trash, and when I came back, I was wondering why there was a car parked in front of my house that looked exactly like yours.”
Kevin took the juice from her hand and drank it all in one gulp. Having fought and gone to the hospital, he was indeed a little thirsty.
“Where has Conrad been lately? Why don’t you even see him?”
Freya’s eyes sparkled as she replied, “I guess he was off to a gig out of town.”
“Weren’t you going to accept his feelings? He’s actually more suited to you than I am.”
“Love is not just suitable. It’s useless to be suitable without feeling.”
He nodded, “In that case, don’t bother with him anymore. Let him go early so he can pursue his own happiness. My uncle’s family only has a son.”
“Okay, I know.”
Kevin put down his glass of water, got up and said, “Take care of yourself. I’m leaving.”
He had just taken a few steps when Freya suddenly hugged him tightly from behind and choked out, “Kevin, can’t you stay tonight?”
Kevin’s body stiffened, immediately shook her hand around his waist off, and said in a deep voice, “I am married, please be self-dignified.”
“Just one night. Please just be with me tonight, and from then on, I’ll disappear with all these wonderful memories of you.”
Freya hugged him again, but Kevin was already impatient, pushing her away and angrily growling low, “Don’t make me look down on you.”
After roaring, he felt a little dizzy and shook his head forcefully, but he was dizzy. Freya walked up to him, supporting him, asked, “Kevin, what happened to you?”
His body became increasingly weak and her eyes were blurry, and with a bit of consciousness, he felt himself being racked into the bedroom and placed on the bed by Freya, then her face came closer and closer to him, and finally, he blacked out and lost consciousness completely ….”
This night, the sound of the robin shouting outside the window was incomparably miserable.
When he woke up, it was already eight o’clock the next morning. Kevin rubbed his dizzy head and recalled what happened last night. Suddenly, he lifted the blanket on his body, and after seeing his naked body, the blood vessels all over his body stood out …
He picked up the pants off the floor and put them on, kicked open the bathroom door, and with bloodshot eyes, he reached out and strangled Freya, who was standing under the shower, drenching herself in water, and pushed her against the wall, yelling hysterically, “What did you do to me last night?”
Freya’s face was pale, but she answered frankly, “I just did what we used to do three years ago.”
“You go to hell!!!”
Kevin was furious, his emotions completely out of control. He increased the strength of his hands, and Freya’s face went purple due to oxygen lack. The wound on her forehead also ripped out bright red blood after she was smashed on the wall, with the blood flowing down her cheeks to her collarbone, all the way to the place where the word Kevin’s name was carved.
“I … love … you …”
Freya was on the verge of snapping, but still exerted the last of her strength to speak out these three words. Kevin coldly glanced at the blood-stained character “Kevin” on her chest and suddenly laughed in mockery.
He let go of the hand before he could kill Freya if he held on for just one more minute, and said with cold and desperate eyes, “You really make me sick.”
Four years of romance and three years of waiting were finally gone at this moment. Kevin had never regretted loving Freya as much as he did now.
Freya fell to her knees in front of him, weakly crying, “Kevin, it’s not like we haven’t been together. Why do you have to treat me so fiercely …”
Kevin stared condescendingly at the woman at his feet. So far, he was no longer able to imagine her as the innocent young girl who was sitting in the chili noodle shop, smiling like an angel, and he was completely disappointed in her.
“From now on, I never want to see you again …!”
Kevin turned around in depression and left step by step. Originally thinking that after three years, their thoughts were only changed, but he didn’t expect that the change was far more complicated than the thoughts.
His heart ached, but not because of Freya’s change, but because of his wife. How should he face her?
A heavy and sad air permeated the Cloud Mansion, and as soon as Kevin returned home, Bella asked him anxiously, “Where did you go last night?”
He looked at her wife, his heart aching. Because he wanted to be faithful to her until death, he did not have the courage to confess to her, and said in a husky and tiring tone, “I drank too much with my friend last night and slept in the bar.”
Something very serious had happened at home, so Bella didn’t pursue the truth or falsity of his words too much, but rushed forward and said, “Lena is gone.”
He was startled, “Where did she go …”
“Look.”
Bella handed him the note his sister-in-law had left that she had found this morning. The in-laws had already gone out to look for her, and she was the only one keeping the phone at home to see if her sister-in-law would call back.
Kevin shuddered and looked at the note, “Dad, mom, brother, sister-in-law, I’m leaving. Please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. After a baptism of life, it made me start wanting to re-examine my life. What’s my quest? Where do I fit into my life? Don’t try to find me. I will go to a place where no one knows Lena and start a new life, and that life must be without the shelter of my parents, without the love of my brother and sister-in-law, without the presence of Alvin. When I metamorphose into a Lena who can live independently without relying on you and live proudly even if she loses her love. It may cost three years or five years. At that time, I will come back.”
Kevin painfully closed his eyes, the note in his hand floated to the ground. He took two steps forward and gently hugged Bella into his arms.
With his head buried in her hair, his body was trembling, and Bella could feel it, and just wanted to break free and ask him what to do, Kevin held her a little tighter.
“Don’t say anything. Just let me hold you for a while.”
At this moment, he was really too heartbroken, for his sister, for himself, and for Bella.
