My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 460

Chapter 460

The rain showed no signs of stopping. Ezekiel straightened slightly and responded to my question. "I'm not that great. I can't guess everything accurately, but I can obtain a pretty accurate guess."

What's the difference between 'a pretty accurate guess' and 'an accurate guess'?

No wonder he always said that I did not trust him.

It turns out that he already has an accurate grasp of my thoughts.

I did not question him about anything else, choosing instead to remain by his side quietly and wait for Gary's arrival. During this period, I constantly checked on his condition at two-minute intervals. With the extent of his injuries, it would be difficult for him to survive this ordeal if rescue was delayed any longer.

I took out my phone and turned the power on. Gary had sent a few messages to me. The gist of his messages indicated that he was nearby and would arrive soon.

I sighed in relief when I read those messages. Then, I turned off my phone again.

It might be out of curiosity, but I asked him a rather mundane question. "What would have happened if they had not attacked you back then?"

Ezekiel was silent for a long time. It would seem that he couldn't come up with an answer to my question immediately. I turned toward him and saw that he was deep in thought. A long while passed before he spoke. "Perhaps, I might have been happy. I could have found the girl I loved, stayed by her side, and married her once she grew up."

"Did they destroy your career and your love life?"

He smiled gently. "My career is not important."

I asked softly, "Do you yearn for love?"

"I yearn for her."

He really is a hopeless romantic.

I sighed softly to myself. A few minutes later, Gary finally arrived. He yelled out my name and hurriedly ran over to help Ezekiel.

It was evident that he had been very worried about Ezekiel.

I gave him instructions. "Bring him down the mountain."

Ezekiel murmured vaguely in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Ms. Felix."

I shook my head and said nothing.

I did not need his gratitude.

After all, I was simply repaying him for his kindness.

Gary asked, "President Felix, won't you come with us?"

"Yeah. I'll head down the mountain in a bit."

Due to Ezekiel's severe injuries, Gary could not afford to delay the descent for even a single moment. He left two bodyguards behind for me and quickly departed with Ezekiel.

It wasn't until this moment that I realized something—Gary cared more about Ezekiel. In fact, he showed zero concern about my safety. I secretly heaved a sigh, feeling as though the fruits of my labor had stemmed from the seeds sown by others. I was just the caretaker who had taken good care of the fruits for many years!

The thought left a bitter and uncomfortable feeling in my heart.

Following Gary's departure, I heaved another heavy sigh and finally stood up after several minutes. I was closely followed by a few unfamiliar bodyguards. Gary was certainly quite smart. He had sent my bodyguards away when he came up the mountain and left only his trusted bodyguards behind.

I took off my raincoat and used an umbrella during the descent, but I was completely soaked after just a few steps. In the end, I stopped and put on my raincoat again.

After walking for a few minutes, I was shocked to see the stern figure of a man standing on the other side of the forest. Fear crept into my heart.

I inadvertently took a step back and called out, "Sunny."

Has Shawn been waiting here all this time?

Did he encounter Ezekiel, who was going down the mountain?

When did he start waiting here?

The sight of me stepping back in fear must have annoyed him. He did not respond to my greeting, but his deep eyes stared straight at me as though he was trying to penetrate my soul. More importantly, the look in his gaze conveyed his immense disappointment. He did not call my name. It seemed as though he couldn't even be bothered to look at me. He simply turned around and strode away with Waylen.

I hurriedly chased after him, but I didn't dare say a word.

I wouldn't dare to speak at a time like this.

What was I supposed to say? Was I supposed to tell him that I came here to save Ezekiel?

That I came here to rescue the man he was trying to kill?

I followed closely behind Shawn. Waylen was holding an umbrella over Shawn's head. Turning his head to the side, he sneaked a glance at me and gave me a wry smile.

I pouted, feeling extremely upset.

They did not stop to rest during the journey down the mountain. Due to my weak stamina, I could barely keep up with their pace. Nevertheless, I did not dare to stop for a rest.

We arrived at the foot of the mountain one hour later.

The rain stopped as soon as we came down the mountain.

It was certainly quite strange.

Shawn climbed into his black Bentley. Meanwhile, I stood beside the car for a long time. It was Waylen who eventually called out to me, asking me to get in the car. However, I pondered for a moment and then shook my head. "You can leave first."

If I stayed with Shawn under these circumstances, we were bound to get into a huge dispute.

Besides, I knew the severity of the situation. Shawn was not in a state where I could coax and comfort him with just a few words.

Waylen looked troubled. "But..."

At this moment, Shawn's cold voice came from within the car. "Renee, I want to hear your explanation now. You'd better give me a satisfactory answer."

Shawn rarely called me 'Renee'.

Moreover, he had never made things difficult for me in public before.

That was because he had always respected me.

It would seem that he was extremely angry this time.
