Chester knew everything. Yet, he still walked toward the bed and gazed at Sarah. He said, âSarah, be more open-minded. Although Rodney has lost Snow Corporation, it also means that the Snow family wonât bother you and Rodney anymore. Both of you have gone through many hardships to finally be together. Rodney and your wishes have already been fulfilled in one way or another. From now on, stay by each otherâs side. Even if your legs are crippled, Rodney is a person who takes relationships seriously. Heâll surely take good care of you.â
Sarah did not feel consoled hearing Chesterâs words. Instead, she almost coughed out mouthfuls of blood again.
To hell with finally being together. She did not like Rodney at all!
All she wanted was to be the matriarch of the Snow family. That way, all noble and influential people would fight to curry her favor.
However, everything was gone.
Rodney held Sarahâs hand and consoled her, â Sarah, you donât have to think that youâve dragged me down. Iâve never blamed you. In fact, Iâve come round. I donât think Snow Corporation is that important.
Whatâs important, at least, is that weâll have freedom. In the future, Iâll be able to marry you and take care of you, without my family stopping me anymore. Donât worry. Iâll never leave you again.â
Sarah was in utter despair.
Looking at Rodneyâs face, she would have jumped and slapped him across his face if she were healthy, not disfigured, and able to move her hand.
âWhy do I want to marry you? Why will I?â However, Sarahâs brain was still working fine.
She knew that if she were to leave Rodney in her current state, even a garbage collector would not fall for her.
As such, she had no choice. She could only be tied to that fool, Rodney, for the rest of her life.
Tears flowed from her eyes.
She was crying out of exasperation.
Nevertheless, Rodney quickly wiped her tears away. âDonât cry. Donât push all the blame onto yourself.
This has nothing to do with you. When youâre discharged, weâll register our marriage.â
Chester was happy to hear that.
After walking out of the ward, he told Shaun about it like it was a joke.
Shaun passed the message to his wife immediately. Catherine laughed for a while before she called Freya to tell her about it as well. âDo you reckon Rodney is stupid to think Sarah cried because of guilt?
She was obviously crying out of anger.â
Freya ate a piece of orange lazily. âThatâs quite unfortunate.â
âWhatâs unfortunate?â
Freya sneered. âIf only Eliza didnât disfigure Sarahâs face or sever her tendons. If Sarah were fine and found out that Rodney had lost his rights to being a successor, she would definitely slap him in the face. Guess what she would have said?â
Catherine laughed. â âYou idiot. Are you thinking of marrying me with those qualities of yours? Do you think Iâve really fallen in love with you? I was aiming to be the matriarch of the Snow family and be in a higher position by getting married to you.ââ
âThatâs why itâs unfortunate. With Sarahâs horrible looks, sheâll still hold onto Rodney even if she looks down on him. Sheâll only meet a dead -end if she leaves Rodney, â Freya mocked. âTo be honest, I wish to see Rodney regretting losing me. I just think that an evil woman like Sarah doesnât deserve to be taken good care of by Rodney for the rest of her life.â
At that moment, Catherine thought of something, and she suddenly smiled. âWell, itâs not impossible to get Rodney to see through her true colors.â
