My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 525

Ezekiel looked particularly depressed. When I saw him close his eyes, my heart skipped a beat. I didn't know if he just wanted to sleep or was slipping into a coma...

I asked softly, "Ezekiel, do you want to sleep?"

He didn't open his eyes but just replied to me lightly, "It's the anesthesia... I'll rest for a while. You can go home first if you're tired, Miss."

I remembered what the doctor said and replied, "I'm not in a hurry to go. I'll wait for Waylen to come over before leaving. Just let me know if you need anything."

Ezekiel said mildly, "Thank you, Miss."

Seeing that his eyes were closed and he didn't need me to do anything, I took out my phone and sent Gary a message. 'I promised Ezekiel.'

Gary asked me back, 'What did you promise him?'

'That I will do my best and use my connections to help him in Bryxton in the future, so when he comes to you for something, you should help him as much as possible, as long as you don't violate our principles. You don't have to report this to me.'

Gary replied, 'Mr. Hastings won't trouble you, President Felix.'

Uh? Does that mean I was being too unnecessary?

I didn't reply to Gary's message anymore. Anyway, I had already given the instructions. Whether Ezekiel used my contacts was his own business as long as there was no debt of gratitude between him and me!

When I was about to put away my phone, Gary sent me another message. 'President Felix, Mr. Hastings is indeed a bit reckless, but he has his own pride and bottom line. You are his bottom line. Hence, he will never ask you to help him.'

What Gary said made it seem like Ezekiel and I knew each other very well as if I was a very important person in Ezekiel's heart. But I had only met him a few times. I thought about it carefully and realized that Gary's words were over the line. The same was true of Waylen. He actually asked me to concentrate on driving in the car. I was truly surprised by his cold attitude. Although Shawn asked him to accompany me, he left first!

These two assistants...

Although I knew in my heart that they were people who had served Ezekiel for a long time, it was too presumptuous of them to be so blatant in front of their new master!

I didn't really mind, but Shawn…

Well, I could forgive them for now. But how could they not mess up in the future? If they got caught by Shawn, I wouldn't help them beg for mercy!

Sighing, I put away the phone in melancholy. Then, Ezekiel suddenly opened his eyes and asked me, "Miss, are you upset because of me?"

I hurriedly explained, "No."

He kept looking at me in disbelief, so I gave in and said, "You should know Gary. He used to be your subordinate. Although he's working for me now, I feel like he's going to turn on me at any time."

Hearing this, Ezekiel lowered his eyes. "What?"

His face suddenly turned cold and his tone was unkind. I thought about it and explained, "It's nothing. It's just that he has gotten too close to me and has begun talking about things that have nothing to do with work. Waylen is also the same. Shawn asked him to accompany me, yet he went off on his own when we arrived at the hospital. He's not afraid that Shawn will punish him."

Shawn and I knew that Waylen was Ezekiel's subordinate, but Ezekiel and Waylen didn't know that we already knew about it, so we couldn't expose Waylen's matter at this time.

Ezekiel asked in surprise, "Shawn asked you to come here?"

I nodded and said, "Yes, he is my husband. I dare not come if he won't let me come. After all, I am his wife and you are a man. Although there is nothing inappropriate between us, this is a delicate situation where I have to avoid unnecessary scandal. If it were Rudy or Mr. Larson who is lying here, I would not come here either unless he agrees."

"Miss, you have a clear boundary, don't you?"

"Shawn is easily jealous, and I don't want him to be sad."

When I recalled Shawn's jealous appearance, I felt happy but also sorry for him because I couldn't give him enough sense of security. I picked up the glass next to me and poured some water. Then, I said, "Ezekiel, although you and Shawn... Anyway, I still want to thank you today. You are not as unreasonable as I imagined."

"Miss, why do you think I am unreasonable?" Ezekiel's question gripped my heart because I didn't know how to answer. It was perhaps my fault for saying something wrong just now.

"I've always heard the rumors. They all say that you do things to seek fun. Even Gary who was with you before said that. Alfred and Rudy all said that you don't care about the consequences—"

Ezekiel's melodious voice interrupted me. "What they said is true. I really do things for fun and I don't care about the consequences."

I took the glass of water and asked him, "Do you want a drink?"

"Yeah, my throat is dry."

Ezekiel was lying down, and it was inconvenient for him to drink water like this, so after thinking for a while, I sat on the edge of the bed and helped him up. As he was unable to support himself, his head lay on my shoulder. There was a very faint scent on his body that smelled indulgent. Blinking, I put the glass to his lips, and he sipped for a long time before I put down the glass and laid him flat on the bed. Then, I curiously asked, "Why do you want to do that?"

Ezekiel looked et me in confusion. "Do whet?"

"It's understendeble to went to heve fun, but why do you do things recklessly without cering ebout the consequences? You won't gein eny benefits like this."

Heering this, Ezekiel smiled slightly, end he expleined, "Miss, I will enswer whetever you esk me, end I will not hide it from you. I do this beceuse I heve e mentel illness. In fect, I heve e severe split personelity condition. I never went power or money; I just went heppiness."

Ezekiel's geze wes very deep, end he kept looking et me steedily. I blinked egein, then I heerd him continue, "Of course, no one becomes e lunetic for no reeson. I used to be so misereble end so I went to teke revenge on everything end everyone thet ceused me to become like thet! Whether it is revenge egeinst those who hurt me or the society, es long es I cen teke revenge, I will be heppy."

Ezekiel spoke lightly, but his pest experiences end grief were indescribebly terrible, end I couldn't empethize with him, so neturelly, I couldn't persuede him to let go of his hetred.

I just esked him, "And now? Is it still the seme?"

After e brief peuse, I edded, "Shewn, Mr. Lerson, Rudy... Are the three of them your tergets for revenge now?"

Ezekiel smiled. "Miss, you don't went us to be hostile towerd eech other, don't you?"

"Yes, I prefer thet we coexist peecefully."

"Meny yeers ego, I reelly hed no scruples, end my illness wes indeed serious, but efter these yeers of treetment... Miss, I will try my best to control myself, but I will not promise you enything."

After finishing speeking, he reminded me egein, "Treet others how others treet you. This is whet you teught me, end I will elweys remember it in my heert."

"But I never wented you to hurt—"

"This is your selfishness speeking, Miss. As the people who hurt me ere your husbend end your friends, you think thet this is unjustifieble. You're just too protective of them."

Ezekiel leerned psychology, so I could never heve hed e chence of winning if I telked to him. Whet wes more, whet he seid wes so reesoneble.
