Chapter 206

Chapter 206 Was He Severely Injured Before The Incident Why did he pretend to be jealous when I deliberately mentioned Treyton to provoke him then? Was he toying with me? How mean of him!

Gwendolyn was furious.

After suppressing her desire to punch him, she continued reading.

Gwenny, by the time you read this letter, I might’ve already left you forever.

This is the last thing that I’m doing for you.

You don’t need to feel guilty or blame yourself.

I wonder if my death would elicit some tears from you.

Although I’m hoping that you’ll cry, I’m afraid that you actually will.

I don’t want to see you unhappy.

Forget it.

Save your tears and become a happy, carefree princess of the Harris family.

It was only then that tears started to stream down Gwendolyn’s cheeks uncontrollably.

Wiping her tears away, she tried to regain her rationality and calm down before continuing to read.

Both of us have met the right person at the wrong time.

Ever since you saved me from the car thirteen years ago, I’ve been deeply attracted by your clear eyes.

From then on, I couldn’t stop loving you, who was only ten years old.

Natasha impersonating you and claiming credit for saving my life remains a thorn in my life.

Even if I’ve never touched her, even if she’s already dead, I can never forgive my foolish self.

What I regret the most is failing to recognize you when you were brought to the Wright residence.

Even during the three years that you were married to me, I didn’t treasure you.

You stopped loving me by the time I wanted to make things right again.

However, all of that doesn’t matter.

Even if you treat me as a pet or a housekeeper, I’m satisfied just by being able to see you at the villa every day.

Ever since I realized that I’ve fallen in love with you, I’ve become riddled with insecurities.

My self-esteem plummeted, and I became a coward.

I’d melt in happiness every time you smile at me.

Even when you coaxed me lightly, I’d be so excited that I couldn’t sleep for a few days.

You must be feeling happy while reading this, right? All that man, who used to be so aloof and untouchable, could see is you.

He’s begging for the slightest bit of affection from you like a clown.

How amusing and pathetic! That’s right.

I’m afraid of losing you.

Although I don’t dare to ask for your love, I secretly wish that you could save me even the smallest spot in your heart.

Knowing that I’ve hurt you far too deeply in the past, I don’t deserve your forgiveness.

You’ve saved me before, so I owe you my life.

This favor can never be returned.

The only way is to repay it with my life.

You’re right about one thing.

I encapsulate everything that a bad man is.

While hoping that you’ll forget me and find a good man who’ll dote on you well, I also wish that you’ll remember me forever.

I’ve contemplated between the two for a long time.

It was so painful and conflicting.

Eventually, I decided to selfishly use this life of mine to make it impossible for you to forget me.

You must eat well.

Don’t be picky with your food.

Drink less coffee and tea.

Even if there’s a lot of work, you must remember to wear more clothes when the weather’s cold.

Goodbye, my… Although the letters of the last two words had been smudged by tears, it was obvious that they spelled out “dearly beloved.

” Gwendolyn knew his handwriting, which had always been neat and pretty.

However, the handwriting in the letter was squiggly and untidy, as if the tip of the pen was unsteady.

There were quite a few words that were smudged by tears.

How was he feeling when he wrote this letter? His hands were trembling so much that he could not even hold the pen properly.

He must have been feeling so sad and reluctant.

Gwendolyn cried her heart out, to the extent that she started to feel breathless.

She slid onto the floor from the chair and clenched her chest.

Still, she could not overcome that feeling of hopeless despair and sorrow.

Why did I fall in love with him? Gwendolyn could still clearly remember how everyone in the Wright family did not welcome her when Declan brought her to the residence after she lost her memory.

Only Maverick smiled at her and said, “That’s good.

I have another friend.

From now on, this is your home.

We are your family.

” Although the smile was very faint, it was as bright as the winter sun, causing warmth to fill her heart.

From then on, she started to yearn longingly for the warmth he had bestowed upon her.

He used to treat me so nicely.

Why did he start to detest me and distance himself away from me? It was when Mr. Wright announced that I was going to marry him… Gwendolyn shook her head helplessly.

They really got together at the wrong time.

Warm tears streamed down her cheeks, smudging the words on the letter.

As she wiped the tears away, her gaze followed her fingertips and landed on the words, “impossible for you to forget me.

” “You b*stard, Maverick!” He had succeeded.

In her lifetime, she would never forget him.

He’s such a fool… She had mentioned that saving him thirteen years ago amounted to nothing but an empty favor.

It was not something significant to her.

Yet, he had it etched in his mind.

Due to that feeling of gratitude, he dragged his body which was weakened by the special drug and jumped down Crane Bridge to save her.

When they were at Realm Bar, he even shielded her from the highly corrosive drug at the expense of his own body.

This time, he ended up losing his life to deal with that man in black for her.

Having saved her multiple times, he no longer owed her anything.

She was the one who owed him! Now that he had left, it was impossible for her to repay his favor…

Tears flowed out of her eyes silently.

That letter had destroyed any remaining rationality she still had.

Her heart ached terribly to the extent that her tears just fell endlessly, and her limbs shivered uncontrollably.

Unable to support herself anymore, she slumped onto the floor weakly.

Although the floor was icy cold, she could not feel anything.

It was like her five senses had all been lost—the only thing she could feel was her aching heart.

Through the tears in her eyes, she vaguely spotted something red under the bed.

It was extremely striking.

Did he hide something under the bed? Gwendolyn wiped her tears and took in a few deep breaths.

Only then did she move toward the bed and retrieve what was underneath it.

It was a bloody shirt.

When she brought it closer to her face, she noticed that there was a metallic stench of blood on it.

Although the traces of blood had already dried up, the color was fairly bright, indicating that the blood got there quite recently.

When did this happen? The sight of the large patches of blood on the shirt stung her eyes.

She frowned deeply.

With that much blood, it was evident that his injury was much more severe than a mere burn on his back.

How did he get so severely injured? Gwendolyn recalled what had happened before.

After combing her memories, the only thing she could remember was when he admitted that he got injured after she brought Jasmine back to Bay Villa.

However, he only mentioned it briefly and brushed the entire incident off.

In hindsight, that was very strange.

She immediately summoned William over.

“Contact Nico and tell him that I want to meet him right now! Go!” Shocked by her yell, William spun around and sprinted away.

Almost falling down, he scrambled out to get Nico.

Half an hour later, Nico rushed over.

When he entered, Gwendolyn was sitting on Maverick’s chair.

She was in a daze, her eyes completely lifeless.

Maverick’s bloody shirt was clenched in her fists.

Even though she had already wiped her tears away, nothing could conceal the haggard look in her swollen eyes.

Nico lowered his head, also in a sullen mood.

“Why did you ask to see me in such a hurry, Ms. Shalders?” Staring at the bloody shirt in her hands, Gwendolyn choked back a sob and asked, “When you guys went to the abandoned construction site, did you really bump into someone from the Central Intelligence Agency? Did he get seriously injured?”

Nico did not answer her.

“At this juncture, just tell me the truth.

Your honesty won’t change anything.

I just want to know.

” Sighing, Nico said, “We didn’t encounter anyone from the Central Intelligence Agency.

Mr. Wright didn’t want you to worry, so he lied.

However, it’s true that he got seriously injured.

” Gwendolyn frowned.

“Why did he get injured?” “Actually, Mr. Wright…”
