From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 184 I Don't Believe Your Heart Is Made of Stone

Kelvin stated, "You can't escape from me, Penelope."

Penelope closed her eyes and lifted her hands to embrace him back, her hands resting on his back.

Kelvin's whole body shuddered, and then he hugged her even tighter.

She was responding to him, and it filled him with joy.

But...

"Kelvin, you know what?" Penelope whispered into his ear. "The one thing I truly desire

is to distance myself from you as far as humanly possible."

His heart ached instantly, and even breathing felt like being torn apart.

"Why did you have to find me? Grandpa Davis finally helped me escape, and you... you came after me so quickly. Don't you care about your hand? Do you want to end up disabled?" she asked.

"Kelvin, how could a disabled man be worthy of me? I would despise you.

"Don't think just because you risked your life to save me, because you ruined your arm for me, that I would be eternally grateful and love you helplessly... You're mistaken. The harm you've done to me far outweighs any good you've given."

Every word from Penelope was a dagger, stabbing Kelvin relentlessly.

His breathing grew erratic, suppressing the immense anger within him.

He tried to plead calmly, "Penelope, stop it..."

"No, I need to say this." Penelope continued, "When Fiona held me hostage, and you knelt for me, traded yourself for me, injured your arm, I was truly touched, but it was just that touched."

"Kelvin, I don't love you. Why can't you face that reality?" she continued, "That night at the hotel, if I had known it was you, I'd have been disgusted. I would have chosen to end the pregnancy. I don't want to have your children."

Sickly blood rose in Kelvin's throat.

Only Penelope could wound him so effortlessly from the inside out.

Her words were so cruel.

And he heard them loud and clear.

To find Penelope, Kelvin has a major fallout with Grandpa Davis, leaves the hospital against medical advice, uses his private jet to fly over in the dead of night without sleeping for nearly twenty-four hours, and finally sees her.
