My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 473

I had no idea how I left Felix's Villa. My heart felt heavy, for Ezekiel's love for me was almost unbearable. I knew the pain of being secretly in love with someone, for that was what I had been doing for nine years in the past.

Ezekiel… I shook my head to cast the thought away. Then, I drove to the teahouse, but May was nowhere in sight. Seeing that Amy was preparing tea, I went over and asked, "Where's your boss?"

"She's keeping her husband company at the hospital."

I said in a small voice, "I hear that you've decided to go home."

"Yes, I'm leaving this Saturday," she replied.

"Will you come back to Bryxton again?"

A smile played on her lips. "Sure. I'll come back when I marry a man from Bryxton. However, I don't even have a boyfriend now, so that will be difficult."

I rolled my eyes at her. "Come back and visit us when you have the time."

"Okay. It has been two years since I left home, so I'm supposed to go back now. I will sneak out and return if I ever get the chance."

Amy was still a young woman, so her family members could tolerate her for being willful. Moreover,

after she snuck out of the house previously, I believed they wouldn't dare to upset her again.

I said with a smile, "I'll be heading to the hospital, then."

"Alright, see you."

Amy then continued preparing tea. The instant I stepped out of the teahouse, I turned around and saw a young man seated by the window. He was wearing a black mask and a black baseball cap. His fringe stuck to his forehead while sunlight filtered through the window and cast its glow on him.

A name sprang to my mind. I muttered under my breath, "They've taken the bait." They've finally taken the bait.

I then bought some health supplements from a nearby pharmacy. Just as I was ready to head to the hospital, Joseph gave me a call. "I'll be by your side soon, Miss."

I asked worriedly, "Have you recovered?"

"It's fine. I'm able to work now."

"Alright, see you at the hospital."

I asked May for the address and sent it to Joseph. Just as I was about to get going, I received a call from Shawn. His voice was rather husky as he asked, "Where are you?"

"I'm at the teahouse, but I'm going to the hospital to visit Sir."

"Okay. I'll pick you up at the hospital," he offered.

I asked curiously, "Don't you have work to do?"

"We'll go somewhere tonight."

Are we going to spend the night together? I promptly replied, "I'll be waiting for you at the hospital, then."

After that, I drove to the hospital where both Sir and Robert were staying. Throughout the entire time, Robert never once contacted me, so I supposed he had been at ease in this hospital.

With the health supplements in my hands, I stepped into the elevator. The instant the door opened, I saw May talking over the phone in the corridor. As soon as she saw me, she hurriedly hung up the call. I asked, "Who was it?"

There were practically no secrets between us, so I asked the question out of reflex. It would be fine if she wasn't willing to tell me about it.

"It was Rudy. He apologized to me." Since she could tell me about it, I believed she had gotten over it.

I asked caringly, "Do you accept his apology?"

She shook her head briefly before nodding. "I don't want to continue feeling troubled because of him, so whether or not I accept his apology no longer matters." She kept her phone and went on to say, "Alfred is inside the ward. Go in first. I'll head to the washroom and join you later."

I nodded. "Sure."

Then, I pushed the door open and entered the ward. At that time, Sir was seated on the bed and doing something on his laptop. Upon seeing me enter, he kept the laptop and said politely, "I thought Shawn would be the one visiting me."

I asked subconsciously, "Why did you think it would be Shawn?"

I put down the health supplements. Sir thanked me and explained, "I thought you'd feel guilty."

I indeed felt guilty, but that was something I had to do. Regardless, Sir was indeed an intelligent person. "I was wrong for siding with Ezekiel, but I had to do it. Sir, I've apologized to Shawn over this matter, and I'll apologize to you now. However, there's a question I want to ask."

As though knowing what I was about to say, he uttered, "Go ahead."

"Why must you push Ezekiel over the edge? Back then… I won't delve into what happened in the past, but Ezekiel told me that he just wants to stay in Bryxton now. However, you won't give him that chance, will you? When you recover, you'll still deal with him, right?" Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"Ezekiel is Mike, right? Did he tell you that he just wants to stay in Bryxton without kicking up a storm? Do you believe him, Mrs. Xenos?"

I believed him. In the past, I remained neutral as I neither believed nor doubted his words. However, I truly believed him now. That was because I knew he wanted to stay in Bryxton for me; he just wanted to stay in this city without doing anything else.

Seeing how I wasn't responding to him, Sir went to say with a smile, "Ezekiel suffers from a self- destructive borderline personality disorder. I'm sure you've heard about it before. Although he looks just like anyone else now, he might flare up someday, especially when he has taken hold of Rudy's power now. Once he goes mad, you and May will be the ones getting hurt. You are Shawn's woman, and May is my wife, so we're just trying to protect you two. Our safety is the last of our concerns."

I knew that Shawn and Sir had been doing all they could for May and me, but I didn't think they could predict the future. They denied Ezekiel's sincerity before anything even happened, thinking he was a dangerous man without any solid evidence. Simply put, they had never given him a chance to survive.

Sir noticed my downcast appearance and asked suddenly, "Do you know how Ezekiel rose to power?"

I replied, "No."

I came across Ezekiel when I was 12 years old. When I was almost 15 years old, Gary came to my side all of a sudden.

Only four years had passed in that period. In other words, it had only taken Ezekiel four years to become a legend at that time. His downfall came not long after that.

"Ezekiel arrived in Europe when he was 18. Despite his young age, he was ruthless. Moreover, he was good at getting to know more powerful people."

I asked curiously, "What happened afterward?"

"He was adopted from an orphanage and brought to America. Since he wasn't 18 at that time, his

adoption was approved. The couple who adopted him weren't ordinary people, and they were wealthy in that area. They passed away three months after they adopted Ezekiel, and that was how he inherited a large sum of wealth. The inheritance was even greater than what you got from the Felix Family back then. With such an inheritance, he got to know even more wealthy people."

He continued, "We had no idea how he did it, but he managed to gain those rich people's favors. When he was finally 18, they all gave him money to start a company. He gained a footing in that place within a year, and the year after that, his business became a monopoly in Europe. By the third year, he was already on top of the world. Three to four months after that… To be precise, it was three months and 24 days. In that period, he killed a lot of people and randomly attacked different prestigious families. He gave the impression that he had been waiting for years to get the thrill of destroying others. He became a psychopath. Besides the Larsons, Shawn and Rudy, who had just gotten on the right track at that time, suffered as well."

"I can't believe he managed to achieve all of that in just one year."
