Exposing the Charade of Deep Affection - Season 2 Episode 66

Mistook the person?

I furrowed my brows, involuntarily turning my gaze towards Walter. What had he found out about the

incident five years ago?

Ashley seemed full of grievances, her voice choked with sobs as she continued to lament, “You said

you would protect me for the rest of your life, you said I could do whatever I wanted, and you would

always be there. You said your life was given by me, no matter what, you would protect me for the rest

of your life. Walter, you never told me why you found me under the cliff that year, why you were good to

me. I just went along with your wishes, I never lied to you.”

Walter stood still, his gaze calm and his face serene and composed, devoid of any expression. Ashley

was crying like rain, a mix of grievance and resentment.

After a while, Walter glanced at her, his face as usual, and calmly asked, “What do you want?”

In a single moment, Ashley froze, her delicate face showing a moment of disbelief, followed by endless

self-mockery. She suddenly burst into laughter, but as she laughed, tears kept falling uncontrollably.

Watching her like this, I thought, she must truly love Walter, otherwise she wouldn’t have reacted so

strongly to just one sentence from him. When he asked her what she wanted, wasn’t he directly

expressing his inner contempt for her through mockery?

Yes, perhaps deep down, he had already regarded her as a woman who was only interested in profit,

he had underestimated her.

Being looked down upon by the one she loved was akin to having her self-esteem thrown on the

ground and trampled into pieces.

Walter knew how to hurt people. With just one sentence, he made her feel worthless.

After Ashley finished crying and laughing, there was endless silence. After a long while, she lowered

her eyes, her voice still hoarse, but exceptionally calm, “You can go, I don’t want anything.”

Walter pursed his lips, his gaze still calm, as if there was nothing left. to say. So, he stepped out of the

ward.

I stood by the door, witnessing this so-called breakup drama. Looking at Ashley’s pathetic state, I felt

neither anger nor joy. I never had any sympathy for her.

The energy in this world was always conserved. When you enjoyed the privilege that did not belong to

you, you had to be prepared to bear all the consequences that this privilege brought.

Moreover, her retribution was not just limited to this.

“Aren’t you leaving yet?” A man’s deep and restrained voice came from beside my ear. My wrist was

grabbed, and instinctively, I was led out of the sickroom.

I followed the tall and upright man in front of me for a few steps, then I pulled away from his grip on my

hand. He didn’t seem to mind, and we both got on the elevator.

When we arrived at the entrance of the emergency room, William and his wife had also arrived and

were waiting outside. Seeing Walter and me approaching, William glanced at us and then focused his

gaze on me, pausing slightly before saying, “Tabatha, what exactly happened? Dale said that grandma

was injected with an allergenic drug. Did you get a good look at the person’s face?”

I shook my head, voicing my question, “How is grandma doing?”

He sighed, “Still in rescue.”

Upon hearing this, Walter looked at me with his dark eyes, “What’s going on?”

I roughly recounted what I had seen before, and said to the few people, “The man was wearing a mask

and a hat. The situation was chaotic at the time, I didn’t get a clear look at what he looked like. Did the

hospital’s surveillance catch it?”

William raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, saying, “I’ve already had someone look into

it.”

Emma said, “The Hinton family has always avoided making enemies with others, let alone with an

elderly grandmother. Who would think of harming her?”

Walter’s face darkened a bit, but he didn’t speak.

Dale opened his mouth, but didn’t say anything.

I watched the reactions of several people, and unexpectedly thought of the man who had injected

Carley with the drug. In my panic, I saw the man’s eyes, they were very familiar, but for a while, I

couldn’t

remember who he was.

“Woo woo…” In the silent corridor, a sudden ringtone from a mobile phone broke the silence. It was

Dale’s phone.

After giving everyone a somewhat embarrassed smile, he walked to the stairway to answer the phone.

Seeing this, I made an excuse to go to the bathroom and followed.

At the stairway, Dale didn’t know who he had answered the phone to,

he just said into the phone, “Okay, I got it.”

When Dale came out after finishing the phone call, he saw me standing outside and paused slightly.

Looking at me, he pulled a smile and said, “Madam, are you looking for me?”

“The person who wanted to kill grandma was Henry, right?” I asked, cutting straight to the point.

Dale paused, his expression shifting, but he didn’t say anything.

Seeing this, I continued to speak, “The person who called you just now was Odin, wasn’t it?”

Dale looked up at me, slightly furrowing his brows, “Madam, don’t worry about these matters, the two

young masters will handle them well.”

“What was the deal between the Hinton family and Henry? Did Walter and William know about it?,

What did Henry want from Grandma? What was his purpose? Dale, Grandma almost had an accident

today. If you don’t trust me, if you don’t want to talk to me, then I hope you can at least make it clear to

William and Walter. Many things, if kept hidden, will only result in us being in the dark while the enemy

is in the light. We will have an accident sooner or later.”
