When she left, she heard Chester muttering hoarsely, “Charity… I’m sorry… I’m truly sorry…” ¡®Charity?’
¡®Is that a girl’s name?’
The nurse found it puzzling.
Although Doctor Jewell was usually gentlemanly, he was also famous for being cold-blooded in the hospital.
There used to be many pretty female doctors who wooed him.
However, Chester would simply say heartlessly with a smile on his face, “If you’re presenting yourself to me to have sex with me, I’ll consider it as long as you don’t have a disease and if you’re beautiful and unrestrained enough. Nevertheless, if you want me to like you and take responsibility, that’s… impossible.”
In private, everyone said to not fall in love with someone like Chester because he was heartless and would never fall in love with any woman.
It was said that the previous hospital director’s daughter had loved Chester to the extent she jumped off a building.
Even so, Chester remained indifferent.
Over time, people in the hospital no longer dared to have the wishful thinking of winning over Chester’s heart. Some people still liked him, but they only admired him and had a crush on him.
The nurse truly found it surprising to hear him calling someone else’s name while seeing him in his drunken state.
Even Ken, who stood at the side, found it unexpected.
He had been following Chester for 10 years. He frequently saw him indulging in pleasure. All sorts of beautiful women had come and left his side.
Would Chester be troubled by love?
F*ck.
It was absurd.
Chester did not know how long he slept. When he woke up, his surroundings were white, and there was an empty IV bag hanging above him.
He felt uncomfortable all over. He wanted to throw up, but he could not vomit anything out.
His stomach hurt like it was in knots.
However, he did not want to move. He simply wanted to lie down quietly.
“You’re awake.” Shaun’s voice rang beside Chester’s ears. “Have some oatmeal. If you don’t eat something now, you might go straight to heaven.”
“Thank you, but you’re overestimating me. A scumbag like me doesn’t deserve to go to heaven. I’ll be going to hell if I die.”
Chester spoke self-deprecatingly. His throat was utterly hoarse.
“There’s nothing wrong with you… Right?” Shaun eyed him closely. His handsome face was puzzled.
“There’s something wrong with me, and it’s serious. You can take my body and dissect it,” Chester said in a low voice. “Let my body contribute to humanity.”
“You’re really in a serious condition.” Shaun sighed and shook his head. “Did you know that you had a bleeding in your stomach last night? If Ken hadn’t found you and sent you to the hospital, were you planning on drinking yourself to death? You haven’t gone to the company for two days. You were just released from prison not long ago, and many of Jewell Corporation’s matters are waiting for you to be handled. If you keep delaying things, Jewell Corporation’s resources will be snatched by other hospitals.”
“Tell me, why am I earning so much money?” Chester stared at the ceiling while lying down. He suddenly laughed. “You can still f*cking spend it on your wife and children, but what about me? Give it to my parents? They’ll probably pass away earlier than me. Besides, the money I’ve earned for them is already enough to last them a few lifetimes.”
“You should quickly find a woman, get married, and have children, then. You’re still young. It’s not like you can’t have children.” 1
Shaun said sarcastically, “With your capability, you can make a soccer team a year later by having sex with one woman daily. When you reach 100 years old and die, you’ll have not just 60 or 70 children and grandchildren, but 80 or even 100 of them. It’ll definitely be a very grand sight.”
Chester was at a loss for words for a moment. After some time, he said powerlessly, “I only want her to give birth to my children in this world, but… It’s impossible. It’ll never happen.”
After being astonished for a few seconds, Shaun extended his hand to touch Chester’s forehead.
Chester said, “What are you doing?”
“I’m checking if you have a fever. This can’t be. Are you someone who’d be troubled by love?” Shaun found it unbelievable. “Don’t you look down on women? Don’t you think that no woman in the world is good enough for you?”
“Are you still my best friend?” Chester gritted his teeth.
“The woman you’re talking about can’t possibly be Eliza, right?” Shaun said, “I noticed earlier on that you were paying too much attention to her. I’m not saying it’s love, but there must be fondness and admiration. However, the Chester I know is calm and composed. You have a lot of experience with women. Even if you like someone, you can still control yourself and won’t torture yourself to this miserable state.”
Chester’s expression was filled with self-deprecation.
Shaun was right. If Eliza was just Eliza, he could still back off even if he admired her.
Besides, he did intend to give up and distance himself from her initially.
However, after finding out that Eliza was Charity, Chester suddenly understood clearly that Charity had always been in his heart.
His hatred and contempt for her back then were because of his intense love for her.
Nevertheless, he was unable to see the truth then.
When he got attracted to Eliza again, he realized that he would always love Charity deeply even if her appearance had changed.
It was just that he was too selfish and realized it too late.
“I love her,” Chester said softly. “But she’ll never forgive me. There’s no way we can be together.” 1
Shaun’s expression was complicated. “This is absurd. Even you understand love now.”
“Yes. I understand love now, but I understood it too late.” Chester smiled bitterly. His gaze was bloodshot. “Shaun, the current situation happened because I didn’t know how to love someone. For the past two days, I couldn’t perform surgeries or sit down and work properly. My mind is constantly filled with her, so I can only numb myself with alcohol.”
Shaun pressed his lips together. He had experienced Chester’s agony before. The most painful thing in the world was to love someone but not be able to have them. “If you genuinely love her, try hard to gain her forgiveness. You did force her before, but it’s fine as long as you’re sincere enough. If the first attempt doesn’t work, go for a second, third, tenth, or even a hundredth attempt. You can also do many things to help her or the people around her. You must change all of your faults in past relationships, and you can’t be arrogant and sarcastic like before. What you have to do is learn how to dote on a woman.
“Look at me. Didn’t I do many things that hurt Cate in the past? I almost harmed our children, but we still got back together in the end.”
Shaun raised his hand, which had a chopped finger. ” You can make amends for the points of conflict between you two. I cut one of Logan’s fingers before, so I cut one of my own to return the debt. It depends on how determined you are.”
“It would’ve been better if she was just Eliza…” Chester could not help but mutter.
“What?”
“Shaun, you don’t understand. The mistakes I made are way more serious than the ones you made.”
Chester looked at Shaun. “I owe her a life.”
Shaun was astonished. Then, he gasped. “What else did you do?”
“I think she’ll only forgive me if I die.” Chester laughed miserably. “I can agree to it if I can have a next life. However, I might not be able to meet her in my next lifetime.”
The most unbearable thing in the world was two people knowing that they only loved each other, yet they could not be together.
Suddenly, Shaun did not know what to say.
He thought that if he were Chester, he would be devastated too.
Shaun drove back to the Lyons family’s manor after sending Chester back to the villa.
They both lived on the same mountain, so the drive took only six to seven minutes.
It was a Saturday.
Cate accompanied and played with the children at home.
When she saw Shaun returning, she glanced at him lazily. “You went out at 3:00 a.m. in the morning. Was it because a beauty had asked you out?”
Shaun did not say a word. He simply walked over and hugged her tightly. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her red lips.
“Wow, Mom and Dad are doing embarrassing things.” Suzie, who was playing with wooden blocks at the side, covered her eyes.
“What are you doing?” Cate pushed Shaun away while blushing. She scolded in a low voice, “It’s improper doing this in front of the children.”
“I couldn’t resist it.” Shaun embraced her and rested his chin on her forehead. “Cate, thank you for being able to forgive me back then. If not… I might get drunk in a bar every day and be in a living hell.”
