A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 966 Burst into Tears

“You damned woman!” Marcel suddenly grabbed her and embraced her as tightly as he could.

Rae’s tears rolled down due to this hug, “Marcel, I deserve to die! I’m the one who deserved to die! Please forget about me!”

Marcel clutched Rae’s hands and hugged her tightly. Out of the blue, he released Rae and shouted, “Get out!”

Rae was heartbroken as if a knife was piercing through her. She closed her eyes and burst into tears!

She ran out of Marcel’s apartment in dismay. As she lost her mind, she ran on the street without realizing that she was barefoot and her feet were already stained with blood!

When Reuben found Rae on the street, she was crying sadly. After he got down from the car and walked over, he gently yelled at Rae who was crouching on the ground and crying uncontrollably.

“Rae!”

Rae did not move.

“Rae, go home now!” Reuben said softly.

“Get out of my sight!” Rae suddenly scolded him hysterically.

Reuben did not say anything. He just lowered his head and bent down to carry her up into his car despite her struggle!

When he sent her home, Leonard saw Rae in a mess and greeted her. Before Leonard could say anything, Rae had already hugged Leonard while crying, “Sorry, father. Let me cry just once! Just this once! Please don’t worry!”

Leonard hugged her and just said, “Alright! Alright!”

After Rae had left Marcel’s apartment, the room was silent and there was no sound at all as if the sound of a needle dropping could also be heard.

He stood at the doorway of the bedroom and looked at the bedroom that was in a mess.

The scattered bedding, the fallen pillows and the used rubber products on the floor had indicated the chaos just now.

At this moment, he was depressed with the mess in the room.

Indeed, he was probably disappointed as his heart sank. Marcel frowned seriously and he was not relieved at all.

He went out of the bedroom after taking a deep breath. He saw Rae’s shoes were neatly placed on the shoe cabinet by the door. Marcel frowned intensely as he could not believe that Rae went out without wearing her shoes.

She just ran out like that?

Why was she so angry that she lost her mind and even forgot to put on her shoes?

Why?

Marcel seemed to hesitate for a few seconds. Then, he seemed to make up his mind by grabbing the key on the shoe cabinet. He slammed the door and ran out. The room once again became silent.

Marcel was driving on the street aimlessly. He glanced over the street again and again. However, he could not find the figure that he was looking for. After driving on the street for about an hour, he still did

not find Rae’s figure. Marcel lost his patience and was about to burst with anger, but who should he be angry with at this moment?

He noticed that he always got angry recently and could not control his emotions easily, also doing irrational things.

Marcel drove his car to the gate of the Baxter residence somehow.

Unsurprisingly, Rae just got down from the car at this moment. When Marcel saw Rae being carried by Reuben from the car, Marcel frowned as his eyes were filled with anger. He gripped the steering wheel with his hands tightly while his veins bulged clearly. Eventually, his car went with a breakneck speed. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

During the whole process, nobody noticed that his car had appeared before.

Reuben carried Rae into her villa. Her feet were stained with blood but she did not know where she had stepped on. The severe injury on her feet that was full of bloodstain and mud also frightened Leonard.

Reuben reminded him, “I will go and find a doctor to take a look at Rae’s feet!”

“Sure! Sure!” Leonard nodded his head.

After a short while, Reuben found a doctor and the doctor was Micah who had given Mrs Baxter an operation. Rae had already finished cleaning her feet. Her eyes were swollen red and she was dumbfounded at this moment.

During the whole bandaging process, Rae did not even make a slight move.

Micah left after making sure that there was nothing serious with her feet. Reuben also left as he felt that there were too many things that he could not say late at night.

Rae went back to her room.

She could not help but sit on the ground. Then, she started to sob again. She locked herself in the room and cried for a long time that she did not even know how long it had been.

It was quiet inside and outside the room since nobody disturbed her. However, Rae recalled that she had probably made her father worried when she had just entered the door with that kind of sorrowful appearance. So, she quickly got up and went into the bathroom to have a shower. Her feet were wet and painful, but her heart was even painful. So, she had not given up loving.

After taking a shower, she put on her pyjamas and opened the door as she was about to go out. Unexpectedly, she saw her father, Leonard standing in the doorway with his eyes full of worry.

Rae’s red eyes flashed as she was surprised. Then, she was touched and remorseful deep in her heart. She had never enjoyed fatherly love before. Rae felt extremely touched by this kind of fatherly love in which her father had devoted and loved her without any grumble.

Before she could speak, she sobbed sadly, “…father, I’m fine. Sorry for making you worry!”

Leonard grieved for Rae. Although he was already over fifty years old and had been in the business world for many years, still he could not help but worry Rae when he saw her crying.

He was exceptionally worried because she was so thoughtful!

In the past five years, she seemed to be a different person.

Previously, she was a bit childish and also innocent. After she broke up with Reuben somehow and then had a car accident, she claimed that she did not remember the past. Although Rae treated Leonard indifferently, still she was considered obedient as she could control her temper. Now, she seemed to have grown up suddenly!

However, it made people heartbroken just because she had grown up.

She was apparently upset, yet she still had to comfort herself not to let others worry about her.

When Leonard saw Rae come out, he was finally relieved. He shook his head and said sincerely, “It is good that you’re fine! It is good that you’re fine!”

Rae opened her mouth and said softly, “I have encountered a little failure, but I will adjust quickly. Don’t worry about me! I’m very worried about my mother and I blame myself. If it isn’t for my blood, perhaps mother…”

“It is all fate!” Leonard shook his head. “Don’t blame yourself, kid!”

Rae lowered her head and stepped forward. It was the first time she emotionally took the initiative to grip Leonard’s hand, “Father, I will bring you back to your room. Get some rest. We will go and see mother tomorrow!”

“Alright!” Both of them headed to Leonard’s room.

Leonard said to Rae, “Rae, I’m glad that you can tell me that you have encountered a failure! Can you tell me what failure you have encountered?”

Rae pondered and shook her head, “Not a big deal. I just take things too hard in the beginning, but I’m fine now! Don’t worry about me!”

Leonard saw that Rae did not want to talk about it. He guessed that it was probably her personal thought or maybe her relationship with somebody. So, he respected Rae’s privacy and did not say too much.

He said to Rae, “Rae, don’t be so restrained. I’m very happy that you can say that to me. A little failure isn’t a big deal, what’s important is that you can still stand up. Stand up from where you fall and go ahead bravely. Follow your heart, then that is worthy for living in this world once!”

Rae nodded vigorously, “I know it, father!”

When Rae reached the doorway of her parent’s room, she followed Leonard in and saw the photo of her parents at the bedside. Her parents were very young at that time and both of them smiled lovingly. She gazed at the photo while an unknown strength surged in her heart.

“Father, you rest early!” Rae was afraid that he would worry about her. So, she said again seriously, “I’m really fine, don’t worry about me. I need to get a good sleep tonight. I still have a lot of things to do tomorrow!”

“Alright!” Leonard nodded benevolently.

Rae only then walked towards the door.

When she reached the doorway, Rae stopped and turned around. She looked at Leonard and wanted to say something.

“What’s wrong?” Leonard asked.

“Father!” Rae shouted.

“Yes!” Leonard answered and waited for Rae to speak. “Go ahead!”

Rae smiled and shook her head, “Nothing, I just want to call you, father!”

Leonard smiled too as this was the first time over the years that both of them had been so close together like this.

“Father, have I mentioned that I’m glad to have a father like you!” Rae said.

Leonard was slightly surprised, “Not yet, this is the first time you have said that!”

“Father, I love you!” Rae said softly.

Leonard’s eyes suddenly became moist as he nodded his head, “Father loves you too!”

Rae smiled, “Good night! Father!”

“Good night, my dear!” Leonard was so touched that his heart melt. He felt the care from his daughter for the first time.

Rae was relieved after she had finished speaking. Then, she went back to her bedroom.

She knew that she had to be strong as she needed to reveal all the secrets.

After visiting her mother in the hospital on the next day, Rae returned to her unit.

Mrs Baxter’s infection had not worsened but she was still unconscious and had not woken up again. Rae was confident as her condition did not deteriorate any further!

Rae’s eyes were slightly swollen and red when she got up today. The wound on her feet was painful, so she applied some anti-inflammatory medicine to her feet. Then, she put on her socks and shoes and came out!

She could only endure the pain on her feet!

When she entered the office in the unit, Lexie saw her and greeted her, “Rae, you look so pretty today!”

She had light make-up today because her eyes were swollen. She looked elegant in her clothes, a white shirt as well as a pair of pink trousers. This was completely the image of an office worker. Her hair was tied in a ponytail, but she looked even energetic because of the make-up on her face.

She smiled at Lexie, “Thank you. You’re pretty too!”

Lexie blinked her eyes and seemed a bit worried. She wanted to say something, “Well, how are you and Marcel?”

“I have broken up with him!” Rae did not hide the truth and she confessed to Lexie straight away. “I have broken up with Marcel. So, don’t make jokes about me and Marcel anymore, okay?”

Lexie was also startled because Rae was actually smiling when she mentioned breaking up with Marcel. She looked serene and calm. This made Lexie even suspicious as Rae was not like breaking up at all. Why did she look so happy after breaking up?

She could not help but figure out some reasons in her mind. She then lowered her voice and approached Rae, “Rae, is it because Marcel is impotent?”
