My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 256

When I heard that, my legs wobbled. The man next to me grabbed me right away. I tried to get myself together and

hurriedly left with Joseph. However, Joseph did not immediately close the door when we got into the car. "Why

aren't we leaving yet?" I asked, perplexed.

To that, Joseph responded, "Mr. Xenos is heading this way. I believe he wants to go to the hospital with you."

"Close the door," I instructed, but Joseph hesitated. "Miss, I…"

Joseph used to work for Shawn, so I could understand why he was afraid of him. As a result, I decided to shut the

door myself. Just as I was about to do so, Shawn's palm stopped the door from closing. Stunned, I inquired, "What

are you up to?"

He ignored me and got into the car right away.

I was at a loss for words.

He repeatedly ignored me, as if he had reverted to his reticent self. I found this to be extremely frustrating.

"This is my car," I reminded him, to which he asked candidly in response, "Aren't you worried about your good

friend?"

I was at a loss for words once again.

I didn't have time to waste on him, so I told the driver to start driving right away. We arrived at the hospital not long

after. Right after we arrived, I dashed to the operating room and saw Rudy standing by the door.

He was drenched in May's blood!

Everyone was hoping for May's survival at this point, and no one was wondering who was responsible for the

explosion. May, however, remained in the operating room until after midnight. Surprisingly, Shawn did not leave the

hospital.

May emerged from the operating room at 4.00AM. I saw her, her eyes tightly shut and her face covered in

explosion scars. My heart was overflowing with pity and compassion at this time. As I called out her name, tears

began to flow from my eyes, but she did not respond.

"How's her situation?" Rudy asked the doctor.

"Her condition is not life-threatening for the time being, and she will most likely regain consciousness tomorrow. But

the scars on her face are permanent. Numerous stone fragments blasted into her leg as well, and cavities were left

when the stones were removed."

I understood what the doctor meant; a scar was left for every stone removed.

But, thankfully, her life was no longer in danger.

I felt relieved. I then sat in the hospital corridor next to Shawn, as I decided to leave Rudy with May alone.

"Aren't you going in to see her?" Shawn asked, his voice soft.

I shook my head in response. "Rudy is the person she needs now."

At that, Shawn rose to his feet. "Follow me home, then."

How could I possibly follow him home at this point?

Thus, I declined. "I'm going back to the apartment later."

Shawn pursed his lips when he heard that. "When did my words mean so little? Ray, don't make me carry you back

home," he said dismissively.

What a tyrannical man he was!

No, I'm not going back with him! Otherwise, the show I put on earlier with Nicholas would be meaningless!

I stood up and said to Joseph, "Let's go home."

Shawn, however, instructed Joseph, "Leave us alone."

Joseph did not dare to move an inch. He was caught between Shawn and me, but in comparison, he listened to

Shawn more.

Hence, he quickly left after a brief period of standing there motionless.

That left me completely speechless.

Joseph was such a betrayer!

I then walked alone to the hospital's entrance. Joseph was standing there. I told him once more that we were going

home but he hesitatingly looked at Shawn, who was standing behind me, and said in a crying tone, "Miss, I am

terrified of Boss. Could you please let me off this time?"

He addressed Shawn as his boss…

Seeing him behaving in such a manner, I couldn't bear making things difficult for him any longer.

Thus, I said, "Give me the car keys."

Feeling perturbed, Joseph handed the car keys to me when Shawn wasn't looking at us. With the car keys, I found

the car shortly after.

I then opened the door, got into the car, and drove away from the hospital.

Being able to get away from Shawn made me relieved.

I didn't return to the apartment in the city. Instead, as the sun was rising, I drove back to the villa on top of the hill

while Joseph trailed behind me.

When I arrived at the villa, the sun was already shining brightly. I got out of the car and started walking toward the

front door. When I arrived on the lawn, my heart skipped a beat when I noticed a helicopter. "Whose helicopter is

that?" I quickly asked Joseph, who had just caught up with me.

"I have no idea either," Joseph replied in a puzzled tone.

I hesitated for a moment before entering the house. When I saw the man leisurely sitting on the sofa, I exclaimed in

frustration, "Why are you so annoying?!"

He was well aware of my whereabouts!

He even flew directly to the villa in a helicopter!

Shawn threw a stern glare at me and said, "You're so rude."

How shameless he was to reprimand me as if he were my elder when things had gotten this bad between us!

I was irritated at this point. "You were the one who wanted the breakup, to which I acceded, so what are you doing

now?" I stood by the door as I asked him that question.

He narrowed his eyes when he heard that. "Didn't Kevin explain to you everything?"

He did, but what difference would it make?

Just as I was about to retort, Shawn stood up and approached me. Stunned, I stared at him as his charming face

came closer, followed by his fingers touching and caressing my cheeks.

His actions were simply too loving for me!

He was truly attractive. I once said that his appearance was flawless as if he had descended from heaven. My

entire temper vanished the moment I saw his face.

I quickly turned my head sideways and said harshly, "Nicholas had explained to me in the past as well, but did you

see me forgive him?"

Shawn completely turned a deaf ear to what I said. He placed his palm on my head, forcing me to turn back to face

his stunningly beautiful face.

I could feel my heart racing and it was about to burst from my chest. "Do you really want to leave me? But your

eyes tell me that you want me…" he said with a casual smile.

What nonsense is he saying?!

I was so surprised that I almost couldn't contain the vulgarities in my heart!

How can he say such flagrant words?

Is he attempting to entice me with his face?

Did he transform into someone else?

"Everyone likes good-looking people," I said, quickly closing my eyes.

Shawn gently pulled me into his embrace when he heard that. With his low voice, he soothed, "I'm sorry for what I

did that day. I'm sorry, Ray. It was my fault that you were sad…"

He apologized, but I couldn't accept it.

With my fists clenched, I was ready to push him away and yell some harsh words at him. However, he opened his

mouth first, "You have to apologize to me as well, Ray."

"Why should I?" I asked in confusion.

"You shouldn't make use of Nicholas just to make me unhappy."

I was stumped for words.

Shawn appeared to be a different person to me. His reserved personality would never have allowed him to say such

things!

His words were even tinged with coquettishness.

Did Kevin teach him new ways to appease women?

And is he trying it on me now?

Instead of apologizing as he wanted, I continued with my lie. "I'm not lying to you—between you and Nicholas, I

chose Nicholas. He was the one who looked after me the entire time you were gone! Joseph can attest to that; he

would never lie to you. Didn't you ever wonder why I decided to stay here? I'm sure you're aware that Nicholas' villa

is nearby, which is why I'm staying here now! Why can't you understand me?" I said coldly.

"Babe," Shawn called out to me in a gentle voice.

His gentleness was enticing as if all of my previous words were nonsense that he didn't take seriously. He didn't

seem to be affected at all, which made me feel like a failure because all my efforts were futile.

"Yes?" I sighed in disappointment.

"If you bring up Nicholas' name again, I'll kill him."
