My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 191

"He left before you arrived."

After all the risks and injuries, I never got to see him. My heart was pounding with anguish and I thought I was going to pass out in the hospital at any minute.

Joseph noticed something was wrong with me and he held my shoulders tightly.

I did not fall, but I was devastated.

At this precise moment, the hospital's bell rang.

It rang a total of twelve times.

The New Year had come and gone.

I visited Finland twice but never met the person I desired to meet.

"Does he really hate me that much?" I asked Joseph.

"Should he be thanking you with tears, then?" Tracy sneered while laughing.

I was speechless as thousands of words were lumped in my throat.

" Renee, you are a living curse!"

I glared at her coldly and screamed, "Shut up!"

"Oh, who are you to say such a thing?"

Tracy then remarked sarcastically, "How dare you snatch the Xenos Family from Shawn! You have no shame!"

I took a few steps forward and slapped Tracy right in front of Diego. Her face was slanted from the slap as she roared at me in disbelief, "Shawn has never hit me. Who are you to do this to me? Renee, believe it or not, I will put you through hell!"

Once again, I slapped her across the face. She then stared at me with full hatred in her eyes.

Diego abruptly stopped me before I could do more damage. With tears in my eyes, I warned her, "The first slap is for burying me in the snow; the second is for the child in my womb who you nearly murdered! Tracy, I have never been a kind person, so I am telling you now that if something were to happen to my child, I will make the entire Hayes Family pay for it! And I will do it with the very people from my husband’s side to make sure none of you sees another light of the day!"

Tracy turned a deaf ear to my warnings.

"Whose child are you actually carrying?" she murmured.

"It's Shawn's child," I said, loud and clear.

Her face grew pale and her eyes reddened as she heard my words.

"I'm sorry. I couldn't control myself," I apologized to Diego after taking a deep breath.

Watching your younger sister get slapped was indeed too much.

He did not blame me but instead, he responded indifferently, "I don’t mind."

Tracy scowled at him and replied, "Go ahead and team up with her. Don’t come to me in the future when you’ve lost everything just like Shawn! Look at him now. He’s as low as a street mouse right now. Don’t you feel bad for him?"

Of course, I felt horrible seeing Shawn like this!

I wanted to give him the Xenos Family back!

I wanted to help him regain his dominance in Europe!

However, I knew he would never want that power again!

Moreover, Rudy warned me not to use the Xenos' power to help him!

Diego ignored her and said to me, "I'll take her away."

I could not refuse him.

"Take her away for the time being," I said after some thought.

After he took Tracy away, I lay on the hospital bed and sobbed quietly.

In reality, I had no idea why Shawn had been so harsh to me!

He clearly stated that he did not blame me, but he still refused to see me!

When I closed my eyes, the ache on my body intensified.

After a sleepless night, I headed back to Eldham the next day.

As I was about to return to the apartment, Joseph said, "Miss, the attackers last night have all been caught."

He asked how I should handle it; letting them off the hook would result in me looking like a doormat.

"Let Tracy bail them out," I replied with a frown.

He lowered his eyes and asked me, "How much should the ransom be?"

"How many people were detained?" I asked.

"Fifteen."

"Ten million per individual!" I would not be merciful.

These wealthy folks could afford it anyway and one hundred and fifty million was definitely within Tracy's financial means!

"Noted. I'll let Anthony know."

Anthony was in charge of all the Xenos Family businesses.

I would not be able to oversee everything in the Xenos Family.

Sure, the Xenos Family might be transparent as of now, but it was still important to tone down the criticisms, as previously noted by Charles Xenos. Therefore, Gary Reyes being my assistant could better ensure the Xenos' transparency.

This was done to guarantee that the entire Xenos Family was honest with me and had nothing to hide.

"Please have Anthony contact me directly," I instructed Joseph.

"Yes, Miss."

When I returned to the apartment, I saw my confinement lady there. She was quite terrified by the sight of the wounds on my face. She rushed over to me and asked worriedly, "Ms. Felix, what happened to your face?"

"The car skidded and rolled over last night," I briefly explained.

"You have to be extremely careful, Ms. Felix." She was concerned.

"It's fine. What did you prepare today, Ma’am?"

"I made pork ribs and corn soup, as well as chicken soup. Do you want to try them?"

After having a small bowl of pork ribs and corn soup, I went back to my bedroom to sleep. In the afternoon, I received a phone call from Nicholas. "I have sent your parents back to Felix's Villa," he unusually said it with a polite tone.

My gaze was suddenly drawn to the snow outside the window. "Renee, many people said that I'm not being myself, but if I'm not being me, then who am I?" he said over the phone.

His words were full of hesitation, as if he had doubts about himself.

I believed the current Nicholas should still be the one that despised me.

Despite his hatred for me, he was willing to let my parents go.

Does it mean he’s getting better?!

"Who do you think you are, Nicholas?" I questioned quietly.

"I'm not sure. Sometimes, I can't stop myself from hurting you."
