Meeting You Was Fate

Chapter 764 Hurt In Love

"Do you really think she can still change? How did that old saying go? A leopard cannot change its spots. I don't believe your mother. Do you really believe that she will change? Huh... You probably don't believe it yourself, right? You're still obviously confused. Why are you deceiving yourself?"

"Nana..." Ethon's low and soft voice was filled with despair.

For the first time ever, they felt as if everything was truly coming to an end. They would actually be separated this time.

Fiona had always kept in mind what her mother told her. If her man was about to hurt her, she should go ahead and leave him first before he could do anything.

It was better for her to leave than to be abandoned by someone. She had always kept this in mind. To add to that, she was already tired, and she just wanted to rest.

"Well, you don't need to say anything else anyway. We've already broken up," she said calmly, leaving no room for discussion. She made sure her tone was final and decisive.

There was a difference between 'Should we break up?' and 'Let's break up.' The first one was a question which meant that it could still change. The latter one was conclusive and left no room for persuasion.

Ethon looked at Fiona, feeling heartbroken. He couldn't help but tremble. When Fiona turned around, she wore a pale smile on her pure face. She laughed at the idea of destiny. If she and Ethon couldn't be together, then why did fate have to bring them together?

At that time, it took a lot of courage for Fiona to agree to be with Ethon. They had always had a good relationship, and they rarely fought. It turned out that she had just been too naive. Love may just be

between two people, but marriage was about family. Fiona didn't have a family while Ethon's family, the Yu Family, was no ordinary family. How could they accept her?

She felt as if the past few years were just a dream.

The night breeze blew on the parasol trees, and the trees danced along with it. After a while, the leaves fell on the ground when the gust of wind rested.

Tears welled up in Fiona's eyes as she watched this scene. She already missed their sweet love. She couldn't help but liken their relationship to the leaves that fluttered with the wind. When the wind had stopped, the leaves simply fell to the ground as if it hadn't been dancing all this time. She and Ethon were from two different worlds. What did she expect?

Still, wasn't that love?

There was an old saying that Fiona clung on to. 'Dreams come in a thousandfold, but love only lasts a few hundred days.' Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

In despair, Ethon watched Fiona leave and walk straight into the inpatient department. She seemed calm, if anything.

Fiona had no idea where she was going. For the time being, she definitely couldn't go back to the home she shared with Ethon just yet. The only place she could possibly go to was the Zhou Family's house. However, in fear that Stanley and Madeline would worry about her, she decided to tell Mandy the truth first.

When she arrived at the bathroom, she immediately pushed the door open and entered. She was still in a daze. As she gazed at the mirror, she noticed she was a mess—her eyes were swollen, and her cheeks were puffy.

She was heartbroken.

She felt as if she had lost her phone—all her photos and memories were gone just like that. There was no way you could still get that back. It would be nothing but a blip in your memory.

She stood in front of the mirror as she turned the faucet on. The running water came, and she washed her face, attempting to look normal. Anger and grievance filled her heart.

She kept splashing cold water on her face. Her shirt got wet, but she still didn't stop.

Her eyes were red and swollen. Silence filled the air.

Her clothes were soaking wet as the fabric clung to her skin much to her discomfort. This was especially uncomfortable for Fiona as she absolutely hated rain, water, and anything that made her wet.

But at this moment, she surprisingly felt that the feeling of the cold water against her skin refreshed her more than anything.

Standing in front of the mirror, she lifted the corners of her mouth and said to herself, "Good bye, Ethon."

By the time she had calmed herself down, she went to see Mandy. It was completely dark by then. The inpatient department was much quieter now.

Only doctors and nurses milled around the hospital. When Fiona arrived at the floor where Adrian stayed, the bodyguards recognized her and let her in.

The atmosphere in the ward was rather peaceful. Mandy's soft voice could be heard inside. She was telling Adrian stories while Nathan was busy working on his tablet.

"Mother, how about the carrot? What happened later on?" Adrian asked seriously, eyes widened.

'Poil de carotte' was a French novel written by a talented writer. It was both a funny and sad story. Mandy had read it in her childhood. Now she was reading it to Adrian. The idea warmed her up on the inside.

"Good night. I'll tell you the rest of the story tomorrow." Mandy closed the book with a smile on her face. Glancing at the clock, she realized that it was late already, so she urged Adrian to go to sleep.

Adrian didn't want to go to bed just yet. He was thoroughly enjoying his stay at the hospital. His mother and father weren't going to work, so they could take care of him. Jason and Daisy often visited while Stanley and Madeline came every night too. Every time they visited, Madeline would bring over delicious food that she herself had cooked. Currently, his bedside table was brimming with food.

"But... I want to hear the rest of the story." Adrian pouted, acting like a spoiled child.

"I've already pampered you enough these past few days. Now you're showing your true colors to us, huh? Just go to sleep already," Mandy said in a doting tone as she stood up and tucked him in.

"Okay. Good night, Dad and Mom," Adrian said obediently. Then he closed his eyes.
