My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 34

I could only see Christopher's tall and lonely silhouette from the rearview mirror. I closed my eyes and said, "Although I have a fragile body, you must not pity me."

Everyone but Christopher can pity me.

And Nicholas can't pity me too!

It was late when I drove back to Felix's Villa. After washing up, I sat beside the bed and turned on my phone to browse for celebrity news.

At a glance, I saw the news saying that the Felix Family official group had reposted the video and left a message, 'I did it, so what?'

It was the first time I had directly responded to the controversy with dominance.

I clicked in and found that the Norman Family had also reposted the video and left the same message.

Then, the official accounts of the small businesses followed suit.

When the Felix Family and the Norman Family had expressed their stance on the controversy, the other companies would join forces to please us.

They were experienced in the business field and they only focused on profit, so they didn't care about the truth. They only cared about who would bring them more profit.

This was what I thought when I told Gary to send the message. The Norman Family only accelerated the process.

In a short time, I had won the battle.

In the comments section, some netizens questioned the video's authenticity. 'Every major company is supporting the Felix Family, so I don't think the woman in the video is a good person. I think she was acting the whole time!'

When a voice of suspicion appeared, more voices supporting me sprang up one after another. Maria couldn't get any benefit from this at all. What surprised me was that Nicholas didn't help her.

That's right. Until now, Nicholas has never stood up for Maria; he bailed only me out from the police station last night.

I thought about it, but couldn't come up with a reason.

The only reasonable guess was that he had not forgotten me.

If this assumption was valid, Nicholas was currently loving me and had lost patience with Maria.

After all, before Christmas Eve, Nicholas had come to me to get back together. If Maria hadn't threatened to commit suicide, he wouldn't have agreed to marry her.

However, I despised him for it.

What a joke! He still can get threatened by an empty threat despite not loving her.

I put down my phone and poured a glass of warm water to have the medicine. As soon as I swallowed the pills, the phone rang. It was from Chairman Forger.

Honestly, I knew what he wanted to tell me each time, so I was reluctant to answer the call. However, I still did it.

It was because he treated me the best throughout my three years of marriage.

Although he valued the Felix Family instead of me, he was still the person who genuinely treated me well over the past three years.

I answered the call and said, "Father."

The snowfall had stopped, and a thick layer had accumulated on the road. It was snowing in March, so I estimated it was the year's last snow.

Chairman Forger said in a compassionate tone, "I saw the videos online. You were also in the rain last night. Are you feeling alright?"

He was the first person who asked about my health.

I wiped the tears around my eyes and answered calmly, "I'm alright. It was just a little trick that won't hurt me."

"You are a stubborn little child. Although I accepted you into the Forger Family because of your company, you're still my daughter-in-law. I hate to see you bullied by others."

Chairman Forger never denied that he valued the Felix Family.

However, he also showed that he cared about me.

Come to think of it, he was rather a good person.

If I hadn't looked for the wrong twin, I would attain happiness if I married Christopher and met such a considerate father-in-law.

However, I couldn't fix the past.

"It's okay. I'll be alright."

I had always been stubborn and rarely showed weakness. Chairman Forger understood my personality and stopped asking questions. And so, he sighed and abruptly changed the subject. "Nicholas went to meet a psychiatrist today."

I instinctively asked, "Huh?"

"I privately asked the doctor. His current state is unstable. How do I explain it? He does not remember you, but everyone keeps telling him that you are a big part of his life. He fell into confusion and is trying hard to regain his memory, and he can't find a good way to do it."

Hearing Chairman Forger talking about that, I knew he would speak for Nicholas again. I hummed, and

then I heard him sigh as I expected. "Nicholas is eight years older than you, so he should spoil you instead. I'm so sorry that he has hurt you for years. Please let go of your prejudices and get to know him again. He is a resilient and unswerving man. If he loves you, you will be the happiest woman in the world. He will bring you happiness."

I remember Maria once said, "If he loves you, you will be the happiest woman in the world. If he hates you, you will be the world's saddest woman because the man you love has an ice-cold heart."

Now, Chairman Forger also said the same.

However, I didn't need that love anymore.

Moreover, Nicholas had lost his memories of me.

The assumption that I made was just an assumption.

I said solemnly, "Father, we are already divorced."

"But I hope both of you will—"

There was optimism in the man's voice. I laughed and reminded him, "You should know I married the wrong twin. The one I love is your eldest son, Christopher."

At that, he said sharply, "However, Nicholas accompanied you for three years. Ree, the one who gave you the emotions, whether it was happiness or sadness, is Nicholas."

I couldn't answer that.

So, the call was over.

Chairman Forger was right. Before I knew the truth, I kept thinking about Nicholas. All those love, hate, and wishes were all about him.

How could I forget those feelings?

I will never forget it. That is why it is tormenting my heart.

Besides, my fragile body was not worthy of love. However, I could not help but look forward to it. If I could, I really wanted to have a romance.

It doesn't matter if one would pity me with love.

As long as it was not Christopher.

I would not accept Nicholas too.

When I thought of these two, my head hurt so much that it almost exploded. I put down my phone and lay on the bed to force myself to sleep. At midnight, I felt someone next to me; however, I thought it was a dream and didn't care about it.

Then, someone placed their hands under my shirt.

Those cold palms were infused with warmness.

I instantly opened my eyes and saw the handsome face before me. Shocked, I exclaimed, "Why are you here?" Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
