Chapter 688
It was the first time that Trevor had clearly realized how deeply he had hurt her. At that moment, he was filled with guilt!
The messy thoughts in her mind passed as Victoria's stiff body began to slowly relax. She brushed away the light sweat on her forehead. Trevor's pampering kiss which was rarely not with burning desire gradually fell on her.
"I'll protect you in the future. I won't let you suffer such harm ever again!" Trevor swore.
He would be willing to spend his entire life mending the wound he'd inflicted on her!
Upon holding her small hand, Trevor placed it on his lips and kissed it. It was filled with guilt and apology!
If it wasn't for what had happened that day, or if they did not meet that day, he wouldn't have gone so far as to plunder an woman who loved another man no matter how much he loved her! No matter how presumptuous he was, he wouldn't have stepped out of line!
In reality, she had become his woman!
She was destined to be his! Whether it was the blind date that was missed or the damage that he caused to her, fate still brought them together in the end! As compared to losing her, he didn't regret such an encounter!
"Vicky..." Trevor uttered.
Trevor softly called out to Victoria and caressed her. He comforted her for a long, long time until he could no longer control himself. Only then did he mutter in a suffering tone, "Can I?"
He didn't want to give her any more painful memories. However, he was already at his limit.
Victoria's reasoned mind had long since cast to the winds. She subconsciously nodded and said, "Yes!"
At long last, the long battle had officially kicked off. Although Trevor constantly reminded himself to be gentle, he still lost it in the end. Throughout the deep night, the fire within him was fiercely burning.
At that moment, the stinging emergency red light was constantly flashing in the quiet corridor of the hospital. There were even footsteps from time to time. Danica sat on the chair alone with her dry eyes. She wanted to cry but there were no tears.
After a long period of time, a lady said anxiously. "Are the patient's relatives here?"
Danica suddenly came to her senses and stood up. Her eyes were dull and her voice was a little hoarse. "I..." She said.
Only then did she notice that the lights in the operating room had been turned off. She couldn't tell what it felt like. She simply instinctively asked, "I'm the daughter of the patient. How is he?"
Having suffered too much that night, Danica's heart was as cold as death. At that moment, her voice was very calm. She no longer had any semblance of concern for whether the person in the room was dead or alive.
"The surgery was a success, and the bullet has already been removed! However, the bullet was in there too deep and it had already damaged the nerves around his heart and lungs. Even though his life was preserved, his situation isn't good, and it's likely that he'll never wake up. In other words, he would become vegetative! You should first go through the hospitalization procedures and pay the fees! We'll observe him for a month. If there are no complications after the surgery, or if there is an improvement, a month is basically enough to confirm the diagnosis. As for the follow-up, you can decide about the arrangements depending on the situation!" The doctor explained.
The doctor looked through the records on his hands and wrote something on it.
"That's the situation for now. If it's okay with you, then please sign here! I'll arrange for the patient to be admitted to the hospital..." The doctor added. Vegetative state?
Did she not even have a family member then?
As she took the pen, Danica signed it without thinking. She then saw her father, who had tubes inserted into his body, being wheeled out of the operating room.
Her perfect family, the father that she adored, her most beloved mother, and the love between parents that she had always been proud and envious of, and wanted to have. Did all the good things that she once thought she had just melted into thin air in just one night?
She stood there in a daze for a long period of time. Danica still felt like she was dreaming. She couldn't believe it at all!
Her father just took her as a bargaining chip. He didn't care about her and didn't love her. Her mother wasn't her biological mother. Was their cultivation and love for her since she was born only to serve their selfish purposes?
They used their so-called fatherly and motherly love to stifle her for a lifetime. However, she had given up too many things that were hard to give up forthat falsehood!
I
She always thought that her parents loved her, and everything was for her own good. It wasn't that she didn't hesitate or waver. It was just that she chose to give up in the end. Back then, even though she was unwilling, and it was difficult she still gave up her love. She abandoned her beloved man and chose to leave for the sake of her parents' family business.
She sacrificed without complaint or regret. After the Randolph family had fallen, she even compromised and agreed to be with some men in exchange for benefits for her family. Why? Why did those men not care for ber for old time's sake? Those men had deceived and bullied her. Why were her parents even like that?
She gave up everything. However, what did she end up with?
What had she done wrong?
Why did she have to bear all of these hardships?
Danica was empty-hearted and her world suddenly seemed to be shrouded in endless darkness. She had nothing, not even a home!
At that moment, Danica suddenly felt that her entire life was a joke and a tragedy. Her mother and father both schemed against her. Her father didn't like her and a person who she had been calling "mother" for decades wasn't her biological mother.
What about her biological mother? Who was her biological mother?
Danica stumbled and turned around. All of a sudden, she stopped and looked at the empty corridor. Why must he become vegetative at that very moment? Why couldn't he leave her in peace even when he was going to die?
The raging hatred in her heart instantly flashed away. She was like a deflated ball. Even if she knew who it was, what was the point? Could she regain everything she had lost?
Danica felt as if she had been abandoned by the world and had nothing left!
As soon as she moved her feet, a group of people suddenly hurried over. "Hello, we're from the police station of the east city. We're here to investigate the shooting incident. Please cooperate with us to make a record," The group of men said.
The corner of her mouth twitched with a sneer as Danica slowly followed after them.
Why did it matter who it was?
At that moment, she suddenly felt that perhaps all that was just a form of retribution!Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
At that moment, Abel hung up the phone in the living room of the Castle family in Yecaeus City. He threw the newspaper away and was furious. "This is outrageous!" He yelled.
Harry picked up the newspaper and set it aside. He then took a sip of tea and said, "Dad, love can't be forced. Waverly isn't a child anymore! She has her own mind!"
"Then why did I ask you to come
back? The marriage with the Pitcher family has been arranged many years ago. How can it be broken just like that? Where is my credibility then? She's a spoiled brat! Not to mention the fact that she goes to Casterwich City alone and willingly suffered a lot of hardships, but she even went ahead and canceled the engagement? Doesn't she want a young man that she's familiar with and has a promising future? Don't you think that she's out of her mind? I've lost their respect because of her. I won't allow that!" Abel yelled.
Abel then angrily swung his hand. At that moment, Harry got up and pushed him to the sofa.
"Dad, calm down! You already said that it happened many years ago, right? Waverly isn't stupid! Besides, what era are we living in right now? You
can bring a horse to the water but you can't force him to drink from it!" Harry said.
