My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 141

"They are all buried in the Xenos Family's cemetery."

"They're all dead?"

"Yes."

"How did they die?"

"Suicide."

…

When I woke up in the morning, Shawn was no longer by my side. I reached out, opened the window, and saw that Waylen was waiting in the courtyard.

"Where's Shawn?" I asked, frowning.

Waylen informed with a smile, "Mr. Xenos left extremely early to swing by the Xenos Family's private hospital. He ordered me to take you back to Eldham, Ms. Felix."

I hummed in displeasure when I heard that.

"Are you upset, Ms. Felix?" Waylen asked as he immediately perceived what had gotten me upset.

"No. It's nothing," I murmured with a twitch of my lips.

Actually, not waking up to Shawn's embrace in the morning made me feel lonely.

Waylen sent me back to my apartment. Not long after I lay in bed, a doctor came to change the dressing for me. I saw the wound on my leg, but it wasn't that serious. My back problem was much more severe.

My spine was more or less crushed during the incident and it hurt greatly.

After the doctor left, I sipped a cup of tonic while sitting in my wheelchair and then texted Shawn.

I asked him, 'When are you coming home?'

He responded almost immediately. 'At the end of the month.'

It was only the beginning of the month now…

It might have been due to his fear that I was overthinking things because he sent yet another message. 'I'm returning to Finland in a few days to deal with something.'

When he spoke of Finland, it reminded me of Tracy Hayes.

Shawn had a special relationship with the Hayes Family because even if Tracy irritated him, he would still show mercy to her.

It was hard for a man like him to be merciful.

Although he had taught Tracy a lesson, I would always remember that she had hurt me, and I needed to find a chance to get my revenge in the future.

So, I stopped responding to Shawn's text messages. For the next month, he didn't contact me as well. I constantly tried to contact him, but his phone was always turned off. As a result, I asked Waylen about this, and he replied, "Mr. Xenos used to travel alone frequently, making it impossible to contact him at this time. The only option is to await his return to Eldham."

When I heard his words, I asked in concern, "What if something happens to him?"

Waylen replied firmly, "Nothing would happen."

I was surprised at his answer, so I questioned him once again, "How are you so certain?"

"Because he is Mr. Xenos, Ms. Felix."

Does it mean Shawn is safe just because he is who he is?

I couldn't comprehend Waylen's point of view and I was apprehensive about the possibility of Shawn getting hurt in Finland!

Shawn's physique was not built of iron, so how could he keep hurting himself repeatedly without consequence?

Just when I was worried to the point of reaching depression, he sent me a text message saying, 'Don't

miss me too much, Myra. I will be back in three days.'

He knew I missed him, yet he was only contacting me now!

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't upset about this, but Shawn's text message was a tremendous reassurance for me. For I no longer had to be concerned about his safety! NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

For the past month, the wounds on my body had healed, and I had spent most of my time at work.

After I moved the Felixs' family business to Eldham, things grew increasingly challenging and I had to rebuild many things from ground zero.

Fortunately, the company had a good foundation, so the situation wasn't completely helpless.

Today, when I attended a work conference, Emma texted me out of the blue, 'Where are you, Renee?'

'At the company,' I replied.

'I just got back to Eldham yesterday,' she said.

When I saw the message, I asked politely, 'What's the matter?'

'I heard you have the most recent model of Rolls-Royce, am I right?' Emma's intention was evident.

'It's parked at the office. You are welcome to come and pick it up.'

I wasn't a stingy person. She was, after all, my friend. Furthermore, Emma's arrival time coincided with

when I was ready to leave work.

I went downstairs with my car key, and she greeted me cheerfully, "Renee, I brought you a gift!"

With that, she handed me a canvas bag.

I took a quick peek inside and noticed a box of cheese.

Emma added, smiling, "I've got the Venice specialties for you. Unfortunately, I could only get you this because I am poor, so I hope you enjoy it."

I pursed my lips into a smile and asked, "Why would you be poor when you are Ms. Emma of the Turner Family? By the way, have you obtained your driver's license?"

She hadn't even turned eighteen. So, asking that question was a useless feat.

"I'll make sure to drive secretly, so it won't be a problem."

I was confident in Emma's abilities, so I handed her the car key. As she took the keys, she thanked me gratefully.

Emma seemed overjoyed lately, in contrast to her previous coldness. Was it possibly due to the fact that she felt embarrassed to ask for the car?

She took the car keys and drove away. Coincidentally, I received a text message from Gary. 'There will be an event in the evening, President Felix.'

'What event?' I inquired, curious.

'James Turner's birthday party.'

Recently, the Felix Family had some business dealings with the Turners. Furthermore, James was a friend introduced by Merlin Craig, so Emma had no choice but to attend this party. So, it was no wonder that she would return to Eldham today.

'Where is it held?' I continued to question Gary.

'It's on a cruise.'

A few moments later, he came downstairs to meet me. Afterward, I went home to change into an evening gown and apply light makeup before following him to the coastal cruise.

James didn't invite many business partners; they were all close friends with whom he got along well. The cruise, on the other hand, had a large number of passengers.

The people on the cruise were all from his circle, so I wasn't familiar with most of them. As a result, it was quite tedious to stay there. Therefore, Gary and I went looking for James to pass him a gift. He took it and said with a smile, "You don't have to do this, President Felix."

I smiled in response, saying, "You can just call me Renee."

Then, James pointed in the direction where Merlin was dancing and said, "I didn't want to call you because I heard you're injured, but he mentioned that there's an invited special guest tonight. So, it will be a pity not to have you here."

"Who's the special guest?" I asked with curiosity.

"Christopher Forger." James curled his lips into a smirk as he said in schadenfreude, "He just returned, and I was thinking of having him play the piano at my birthday party. I expected him to refuse, but to my surprise, he agreed."

When I heard this, my face darkened instantaneously and I immediately told Gary to leave with me. However, James called out to me from behind, "You miss him, Renee, don't you?"

"That's bullsh*t," I muttered as I turned around and stared at James.

Christopher and I had long since moved on, and while it was nice not to see each other, some folks were still concerned about our relationship!

I was unsure why Merlin would allow James to invite me, but I couldn't see Christopher now!

It was not that there were any hidden secrets or that I couldn't let him go; I just believed that avoiding meeting each other would help us avoid misunderstandings.

After all, it was easy to become a hot issue when we appeared in the same public venue. It was not because I was afraid Shawn would see us. I was just worried that he would misunderstand.

With this, I must try my best to avoid any misunderstandings. Therefore, I ignored James and turned around to get off the cruise.

At that moment, I unconsciously tilted my head and glanced at the cruise ship, but, honestly, this was a

wrong move, and there was no one else to blame but me.

I looked across the cruise ship, and standing by the cruise was a man in a black suit, appearing as gentle and charming as usual.

Right then, I dazedly voiced out, "Chris…"

Oh no, something didn't feel right!
