The Substitute Bride: Making Memories Of Us (Lois Stone)

Chapter 65: Her Life Should Have Ended  

Maria was startled when she heard the words that came out of Ayla's mouth.

"Mrs.Clark, why did you say that? And why did you go outside alone last night? It was snowing, right? It must be freezing.Didn't you feel cold?"

Ayla looked out of the window and answered, "I'm fine.Help me up."

"Okay," Maria said with a nod.

She was so happy because it was her first time to hear Ayla speak after so many days.She supported Ayla to get up from the bathtub and led her out of the bathroom.

The room was filled with smoke, so she imagined that Brian, who had been sitting on the sofa, had smoked a lot of cigarettes.

Ayla didn't say anything.She just glanced at Brian and hid under the quilt.She didn't know what to say to him.Her heart still hurt until now.

Every time she closed her eyes, the scene in the operating room that day flashed across her mind.

It was so cold, and she felt how her baby was taken from her belly.

She wanted to die with her baby, but why was she still alive?

"Mrs.Clark, what do you want to eat? I'll cook it for you," Maria said while adjusting the heater.

"It's all okay.I'm fine.I just feel so hungry now."

Ayla had dinner last night, but she threw up everything after.So she was hungry and wanted to eat.

Brian watched her lying flat in the bed, breathing lightly.

It was as if she would disappear all of a sudden.

"When are you going to stop behaving like this?" he asked coldly, walking to the bedside.

Ayla rolled her black eyes, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

"I won't do it again in the future.Never."

Because she would never have a future anymore.

"I hope so," he said before walking out of her room.

‘'Everything should be over.It's time to end my life.I should have no regrets now.I'm not expecting anything either, '’ Ayla thought to herself.

She ate up the meal that Maria prepared for her.

"Mrs.Clark, you need to take a good rest.Your health condition is not good.You have to take care of your body from now on."

After eating, Maria asked her to lie down again.

She just had an abortion, and her body soaked in the snow the whole night last night.

These two incidents might do a lot of harm to her body.

Maria was afraid that she would find it very difficult to get pregnant again in the future.

Besides, losing her baby was a big blow to her.

Because if not, she wouldn't be like this.

"All right," Ayla replied with a nod.

She pulled the quilt up to her chest, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.She didn't sleep all night, so now that her body was warmed, and she was full, she slumbered so soon.

When Maria went downstairs, she saw Brian sitting on the sofa in the living room.

"Mr.Clark, what do you want to eat? I'll prepare it for you now."

"Did she eat?" he asked indifferently.

"Yes, Mr.Clark.Mrs.Clark seems to be in a good mood today.She should be fine."

Maria then walked into the kitchen and began to prepare Brian's food.

"I have a business dinner tonight, so I'll be home late.Stay here and make sure that she doesn't come out again," Brian said to Maria while eating his breakfast.

"Okay, Mr.Clark.I will sleep in the living room," Maria replied and nodded.

She was also afraid that Ayla would run out of the villa again like last night.

At noon, Ayla went downstairs for lunch.

She sat alone at the dining table and ate almost all of the food.

"Mrs.Clark, I think you have a good appetite today.Are you feeling better?" Maria commented.

She was glad to see Ayla eating a lot, but she didn't know why she felt strange in her heart.

"I'm fine.I'm going upstairs now."

As soon as Ayla returned to her room, she sat at her desk and looked at all the books there.

She then put all of them away.

Her dreams and life pursuit had all become nothing to her now.

The sky was dark outside.

Maybe it was going to snow again.

She hesitated for a while before she took her phone and dialed Toby's number.

Toby was in the study, and he left his phone in the bedroom.

Molly had just walked out of the bathroom when she heard it ringing.

Although no name showed on the screen, she could guess that it was Ayla.She gritted her teeth in anger.

Ayla was really shameless.

How dare she call Toby at this time! Wasn't it enough that Toby was severely hurt because of her?

"Toby..."

When the call got connected, Ayla was stunned for a while before she finally uttered Toby's name.

Molly didn't say anything, but she clenched her fist.

How dare Ayla call Toby so intimately! Now that he was her husband, she wouldn't allow Ayla to call him that way again.

"Toby, how are you?" Ayla asked.

She was worried that because of her, he must be in a very difficult situation now.

"He is not good.You shameless bitch! Because of you, my husband was hospitalized.You still have the nerve to call him now? Are you trying to destroy our family? Do you want to hook up with my husband? You're such a shameless vixen!"

Molly was so furious that she cursed Ayla on the other end of the line.

Ayla smiled.

She had extravagant hopes.

Without her, Toby would have lived well.

Molly must really love him so much.

"I'm sorry.I didn't mean it to happen,"

Ayla apologized to Molly.

Although she didn't mean things to happen, she still hurt Molly unintentionally.

"You are so ridiculous! You seduced my husband, and now you're apologizing to me, telling me you didn't mean it? Do you want me to forgive you so easily? Dream on! And don't you dare to call Toby again! My husband hasn't recovered yet, and he needs rest," Molly said.

In her heart, she kept on wishing that Ayla would never show up in front of Toby again.

Ayla pursed her lips and said, "Don't worry, I won't bother him again.I hope you will always love Toby and make him happy."

"You don't need to say that to me.Toby is my husband, and I love him so much.Just don't call him again.If there is nothing else, I will hang up now."

Molly directly hung up the phone without waiting for Ayla to respond and deleted the call log.

At this time, Toby walked into the room with the help of the servant.

"Molly, what's wrong? Did someone call me?"

He wondered why Molly was holding his phone in a daze.

"No."

Molly shook her head.

"Your phone is out of battery, so I'm going to charge it for you.Aren't you going back to the company officially tomorrow? I want to check on you at any time, so I don't want your phone to run out of battery."

"Oh, I can charge it myself.It's getting late.Let's have a rest now."

Toby lay on the bed and said, "Molly, I'm a little thirsty.Can you get me a glass of water?"

Molly nodded and went out of the room.

She would go downstairs to get him a glass of milk.

Toby took the phone and looked through it.

But he didn't see any new messages and call log, so he put it back down.

"Honey, I got you a glass of milk instead.This can help you sleep better," Molly said, smiling at him.

"Thank you."

Toby stretched out his hand and took the glass from her.

He wiped out all the thoughts about Ayla in his mind.

Ayla turned off her phone and went downstairs to drink a glass of water. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Seeing Maria spreading a quilt in the living room, she couldn't help thinking that Maria must be very tired because of her.

"Mrs.Clark, what do you need? Let me get it for you." Maria followed her into the kitchen.

"I suddenly feel thirsty, so I want to drink some water.Maria, I'm sorry.I've been bothering you all this time."

Even to Maria, all she could say was sorry.

"No, don't say that.You're not bothering me at all.And you are Mr.Clark's wife.No matter how many conflicts occur between you, they will always pass."

Maria wanted to comfort Ayla.

It was just that Ayla''s heart seemed to have died, and she also lost hope in life.
