“I just didn’t want to tolerate it any longer.”
A hint of irritation flashed across Eliza’s eyes. She could not forget Chester’s abuse and contempt toward her when she bent over backward and stayed by his side.
What gave him the right to belittle her that way after threatening her to stay by his side with such despicable methods?
Eliza hated Chester’s high and mighty attitude.
She wanted to make him lose control and make him furious.
“Don’t worry. I informed you before coming, so I knew that you’d come. I wouldn’t have done this if you weren’t in Canberra.”
Eliza looked at Max gratefully. “Thank you, Max. However, Chester is a petty person. Will helping me this time affect you?”
Max ruffled her hair. “I walked out of the battlefield by relying on my own fists. So, unless I’ve made a mistake, Chester won’t be able to meddle in my affairs. I’m just worried about you. I can’t be by your side to protect you at every moment, why don’t… you fake being in a relationship with me? That way, Chester won’t dare to be so arrogant.”
“Stop joking around.”
Eliza took a step back. There was a hint of confusion in her cool eyes. “As I said before, I’m a celebrity, and you’re a secret guard who works in the dark. If you date a public figure, what will the people on the internet say about you?”
“I don’t care about all of those.” Max felt powerless. “At worst, I’ll stop working for the prime minister.”
“Max, Chester was right about one thing just now. You started from the bottom and slowly rose through the ranks to get to where you are today. You didn’t get those scars on your body for nothing.”
Then, Eliza turned with her back to Max. ” Did you forget? When we were young, you told me you wanted to be a general in the future. You have ambitions and aspirations, while I’m a person who has died once before. Although I’ve gotten my revenge, all the people closest to me are dead. I can’t find the meaning for my existence.” “Charity, don’t say that.”
Max felt afraid and fearful upon hearing Eliza’s empty and lost voice. “There are still many things in life. Did you forget about Mrs. Robbins? Since you’re now Eliza, you should take care of her family. The closest people to you may be gone, but you can get married and have children. Your husband and children will be your family.”
Of course, if Eliza was willing, he could be her partner anytime.
However, Max was afraid that it would scare her and she would distance herself from him.
“Others have said the same, but… My heart’s already numb. I don’t know how to love someone anymore.” Eliza shook her head. “I’ve even lost the ability to love someone.”
Max’s heart throbbed.
How much pain did a person have to go through to end up like that?
“It’s okay, Charity.”
Max strode over and patted her head.
The outline of his features was sharp, but it looked tender at that moment. “Take it slow. There’s no need to rush. Maybe you loved too hard in your past life that you don’t know how to love in this life. Let the people who know how to cherish you love you.”
Max believed that there would come a day when Eliza’s heart would gradually open up again.
He was not in a rush.
No one knew how disappointed he was to see Charity move to Canberra with her mother to become a young lady when he was about ten years old.
They used to be neighbors.
Yet, in the end, charity became the daughter of a wealthy family, while Max and Eliza could only continue living in a small city.
Back then, he told himself that he had to work hard and become a friend worthy of Charity’s identity.
However, since he was terrible at his studies, he joined the army.
He finally stood out after going through countless rains of gunshots on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, Charity became a prisoner and passed away. He did not even get to see her corpse.
Luckily, the heavens gave him another chance.
He knew from the start that his effort all those years was not to become her friend. All he wanted was to stand by Charity’s side and become her significant other.
“Charity, do you remember the cartoon the three of US used to watch together when we were younger? I said I wanted to be a knight, and that has always been my dream because knights can protect the person they want to keep safe.”
Even if the princess ended up being with the prince while the knight remained lonely forever, he was fine with it.
Eliza raised her head and looked at Max blankly. Under the sunset, the man’s copper -colored skin made him look as handsome as a real knight.
Strangely, she felt something in her heart.
It would have been nice if charity and Jennifer did not move to Canberra, enter the Neeson family, and meet Sarah and Chester.
7:00 p.m.
A doctor was bent over and bandaging Chester’s wound nervously.
He did not even dare to let out a breath.
He swore that he had never seen Chester’s expression so awful before after working with him for so long.
Chester was known to be amicable in his workplace, the hospital.
“President Jewell, the treatment for your wound… is… is done.” The doctor reminded him nervously, “But you must take care and rest. Or else—“
“I’m a doctor too. I know this better than anyone else.”
Chester interrupted the doctor coldly.
He was also aware that Eliza had stepped on him with full force.
She actually hated and despised him that much.
Chester, who had always been haughty, had never been humiliated so badly by others.
Up until this moment, Chester was in disbelief that Eliza said she had to consume drugs whenever he touched her.
She had utterly trampled on his pride as a man.
What made Chester even more furious was that Eliza had been deliberate in the attitude she showed before. Her goal was to make him disdain her and look down on her.
Indeed, he very quickly despised her after that. He even released the subordinates that he used to threaten her.
After calming down, Chester suddenly realized that Eliza knew him well.
That woman who knew him well said she hated and loathed him.
Chester felt angry. At the same time, he had a deep sense of doubt and frustration.
Was he… that terrible?
Was he… not excellent enough?
It was ridiculous.
It was the first time Ken Torres, a subordinate standing at the side, saw Chester go from furious to confused, then fuming with rage, not to mention the doctor. It was a bizarre scene.
Knock knock.
There was the sound of the door being knocked on. A few police officers in casual clothes entered with strange expressions. ” Are you Mr. Jewell? Excuse US. We received a police report from a woman named Eliza Robbins. She said… you attempted to murder her. We received the report, so please follow US to the police station.”
“Murder?” Chester laughed after blurting out that word from his throat.
He did not expect Eliza to really go and call the police. Did she think she could go head to head with him because she had Max’s support?
Ken said hastily, “President Jewell always abides by the law. He would never do that kind of thing. This is a misunderstanding.”
“…There are very obvious marks of strangling on Ms. Robbins’ body. Besides, Ms. Robbins ran out of President Jewell’s villa this evening. Therefore…” The officers looked resigned.
It was Chester. Who dared to offend him?
