Even so, he still knowingly asked, “You don’t want to see Miss Wen, do you …… have a grudge against Miss Wen in your heart?”
“……”
Although Hathaway did not respond, the expression on her face already gave the answer.
She did resent Wen Shiyu.
It was clear that she had already forgiven so many times, so why couldn’t she forgive again?
Pei Shixi naturally also read it, and couldn’t help but sigh and politely persuade, “Actually I don’t think you can blame Miss Wen for this, she is also innocent, if it wasn’t for …… the one who might have died in the first place was her and the little baby in her belly.”
Hathaway lowered her eyes, making it hard to see her expression.
Pei Shixi also pretended not to see, continued: “Maybe you think Miss Wen has already forgiven so many times, think why she can not forgive more than once, but put yourself in the position, you are also a mother, for a person who wants to hurt their own children, you can forgive?”
No!
Hathaway closed her eyes in pain, tears spilling out of the corners of her eyes like broken beads.
She understood all these truths, but she just couldn’t get past the hurdle in her heart.
She also knew that she had been selfish, and that keeping Wen Shiyu out of the door would expose her to public criticism, but …… she had lost her daughter!
The thought of it made her insides twist with pain.
“I understand what you’re saying and I know it’s not fair to her, but it’s hard for me.”
Her voice was sad and her eyes were full of self-blame, “I’m to blame, it’s all my fault, I didn’t do my duty and teach Cathleen properly, that’s why she developed such a bigoted personality and made such a big mistake.”
Paisley frowned, thinking that it wasn’t Hathaway’s responsibility either.
“You shouldn’t think that way, the amount of effort you put into Cathleen is obvious to us all, you can’t be blamed for that at all, and the fact that Cathleen has the ability to think on her own and yet still took the wrong route can only mean that it was her choice and not yours.”
The words were spoken, but Hathaway couldn’t listen to them and sobbed uncontrollably.
The whole ward was filled with a strong sense of sadness.
Blanche was beside herself with worry and was busy coming forward to persuade, “Headmaster, you have to take care of your health, the doctor has said that you can’t get too emotional in your current situation.”
“Let seniors cry, it’s better to let it out than to keep it inside.”
Pei Shixi called out to Blanche and couldn’t help but sigh again, saying quietly, “Originally Kathleen could have had a good life, only she was too paranoid and kept treating Miss Wen as a threat ……”
Pei Shixi’s sigh was heard by Hathaway, who became even sadder as she silently drooped in tears.
I don’t know how long she cried, but she finally got tired of crying and fell asleep next to the pillow.
Pei Shixi went up and gently tucked her in, then turned his head sideways to Blanche and whispered, “I’ll trouble you to take care of senior these days, I’ll come back to visit sometime later, of course if anything happens, you can call me anytime.”
“Thank you, Mr. Pei.”
Blanche nodded her head in thanks and watched Pei Shixi leave.
……
That night, Wen Shiyu was lying in bed, but she couldn’t sleep.
As soon as she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with Kathleen’s accusations.
“Wen Shiyu, why do you have to appear, it’s all because of you, stealing everything from me, I hate you!”
“Everyone protects you, what exactly makes you better than me?!”
“Wen Shiyu, why don’t you go and die!!!”
These hysterical voices, as if they were in her ears, woke Wen Shiyu up from her sleep every time.
Repeating this several times made her nerves very weak.
When she saw such a frightened Wen Shiyu, her heart ached, and she felt that this was no way to go on.
She finally went to bed and took her in her arms, patting her back and comforting her, “Shiyu, don’t think about it, think about the baby in your belly, you have to rest, Kathleen’s matter has nothing to do with you, don’t take it on yourself.”
