My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 272

Chapter 272

I didn't think Robert was as scary as Emma made him out to be. After all, on New Year's Day, he had stayed at my home and lazed around like any other ordinary human, but he did nothing outrageous. He was someone I could get along with.

However, seeing how worried Emma was, I agreed to leave with her. Just as we reached the entrance of the concert venue, the spotlight beamed upon us, and Robert's slightly sweet voice said, "Congratulations to these two fans for winning the prize! Can you come onstage and have a talk with me for a bit?"

A staff member passed us the mic, and Emma's stony gaze swept at Robert. "Something happened at home, so we have to leave immediately. Sorry, maybe we can meet another time if fate decrees." She didn't bother about putting up with him,

Emma pulled me along as she fled. I even joked and said, "Robert is just a childish guy. He's not that scary."

Emma agreed and said, "He's not scary; he's a madman!"

Emma had nothing good to say about Robert. Hearing that, I smiled, still finding it unbelievable. "Could it be that Robert took advantage of you before?"

When Emma heard that, she fell silent, and her expression was solemn. Startled, I asked, "Did something happen?"

It was a chilly winter day, and Emma sighed deeply. "I've seen him murder someone, and very cruelly… Renee, he can pretend to be innocent, but none of his colleagues like him! If it weren't for the French royal family's support all these years, he would've been dead because of his reckless attitude by now. You'd better keep a distance from him."

From Emma's expression, she seemed to be genuinely scared of Robert. Hence, I didn't tell her about the slight involvement I had with him. As for that involvement, I could only term it as 'we call the same person Mom'.

Emma and I were about to leave on the helicopter when Robert emerged, pursuing us with a smile on his face. "Where are you going, Renee?"

Emma gripped my arm while I stood in front of the helicopter, calmly replying to him, "Back to the villa. I'm going to the Hayes Residence later."

After learning about my plans, Robert suggested, "Why don't you come with me on a walk?"

"Sorry, but I have something to attend to."

"Renee, I haven't seen you in so long," he said stubbornly.

I fell silent because I saw him two weeks ago. He even spent his New Year's at my house.

I sighed and said, "I have something to do."


"Renee, Mother is gravely ill and wants to see you."

Robert came up with a bigger excuse.

I stayed silent because I didn't want to have any further contact with that 'Mother'. However, when Robert brought that lady into the picture, I couldn't decline. After all, she was the woman who birthed me.

Moreover, she had even given me a kidney. So, when she was gravely ill, I was obliged to see her. However, I was more careful with things now. "I have already promised Shawn to meet the elders at the Hayes Residence. Shall I contact you after the meeting?"

I could investigate and confirm if my mother truly was gravely ill later because what if Robert was lying to me on purpose?

"Renee, Mother is in critical condition."

Hearing that, I had absolutely no feelings. It wasn't because I was cold-blooded; I really never had much of a relationship with this mother of mine.

Frowning, I asked Joseph, "What's going on?"

Joseph was smart enough as he hastily went to investigate this matter.

Soon, he reported, "Miss, it's kidney failure."

Kidney failure…

Everything Robert said was true, and she really was in critical condition. I was obliged to make the trip, but Emma suddenly spoke up and stopped me, saying, "Look at the timing; something is obviously wrong here!"

What did she mean by 'look at the timing'?!

I asked, "What timing are you talking about?"

She didn't reply to me, whereas Robert was smiling innocently as he awaited my decision. Seeing me caught in a dilemma, Emma suggested, "Renee, call Shawn and tell him where you're going. If he doesn't stop you, everything's okay and you can go wherever you want. I won't say anything, but I hope you can think things through."

Emma had a point. After all, Shawn was my man. If there was anything I had to do, it wouldn't be too late to decide after asking him. Following her advice, I took out my phone and called Shawn up in front of Robert. The latter had a relaxed expression on his face as he waited for me with extreme patience.

Shawn picked up the phone. "What's the matter?" His voice sounded a little hoarse, and it was probably because he had just woken up.

"She's gravely ill now, so I have to go to France right away."

My biological mother had kidney failure, and her illness must have been my fault since she had donated a kidney to me.

If a person only had one kidney remaining, it was very easy for them to get kidney failure.

Shawn knew whom I was referring to. After a bit of silence, he agreed to my decision. "Okay, get Joseph to go with you. I'll go to France to pick you up after I've met Old Master Hayes, then I'll go with you back to Bryxton."

After thinking about it, I said truthfully, "Robert is with me."

I waited for his reply, but he fell silent. "Sunny." I tried to get his attention.

"Well, you can make the decision."

"Then I'll be waiting for you there," I said.

Shawn hung up right away. Everything happened too quickly, so I took time to register what happened before announcing, "Let's go. You can join me in my helicopter."

Though reluctant, Emma left. I could see that she was worried about me, and I even received a message from her later on. 'Be careful of him.'
