Chapter 193: What’s on Each Person’s Mind
York Charlie was just in time to see Shireen Miller leaving in a hurry as she turned back to the hospital, and although she was a bit far away, York Charlie was keenly aware that there was something wrong with her.
How should I put it, there was something strange about her expression.
Even if he didn’t know what had happened to Shireen Miller, the fact that she had suddenly come to this hospital all by herself, he knew that it was obviously something to do with Blanche Capra. Shireen Miller had come to see Blanche Capra? What had she come to see her for? What did she say to her? Why was it that the expression on her face when she left was not the usual one of anger and cynicism, but one that begged to be pondered: again, gleeful and pleased, with a touch of unease and panic.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
York Charlie, who was good at reading people, sank a little deeper in his steps as he walked towards Blanche Capra’s hospital room.
Just as his internal speculation was building, he pushed open the door to the ward and was met by Blanche Capra, who had fallen to the floor, her brow furrowed, her body driven forward, and her eyes looking right back at him.
She seemed to be going somewhere, but in her haste to move, she missed her footing and gave it a fall. She was a little surprised to see him push through the door, but it was a fleeting emotion, and the way she looked at him was surprisingly a little probing.
York Charlie was becoming more and more certain of his judgement about Shireen Miller.
By the time she finally spoke, the speculative judgement in his heart was even more verified. She asked about the Russell family, and York Charlie didn’t know what to say.
He wanted to say, but did not want to say. Because the whole thing is really too complicated, one did not express well will easily lead to her misunderstanding of their own, and, most importantly, when he was also the one who was kept in the dark. A lot of things, or the Russell family bankruptcy and collapse, the Russell family defeat before he really understand.
At that time, he had already heartlessly abandoned her and hurt her, even almost causing her to lose her life. He felt guilty and self-condemned, heartbroken and tormented at the same time, but at the same time, he was a little self-absorbed. Anyway, things were already like this, anyway, he and she could never go back.
So, that’s it, that’s it …
This is what he thought at that time. However, who knows, he originally thought that can cure all the time to fade everything, for him no use at all … not only no use, but also more and more “add oil and vinegar”, heavy ink. Too heavy colour failed to be diluted, but little by little into the inward seepage, gradually has been deep into the bone marrow.
Later … later … is when he completely confirmed Blanche Capra is Brandi, he first sensed, but the kind of lost and found joy. Then deep remorse and guilt overwhelmed him.
And now, when she asked, as if unintentionally, about the Russell family, what was he to say? Saying that the decline of the Russell family and even the destruction of the family was the result of the Charlie family’s careful planning, saying that his relationship with her had been calculated into it? What would she think of him? How would she make sense of the whole thing?
Would she believe him if he said that he too was kept in the dark, that he too was being used by the Charlie family? Would she think this was all an excuse? Will she also think that he was originally the Charlie family people, the vested interests, so … he is simply that downright accomplice.
York Charlie’s mind is tumbling with thoughts, is hesitation, is worried, and is even more afraid. So he naturally took her words, but in turn asked her, can you stay by my side, do not go anywhere?
He was serious, and apprehensive, and expectant. Just as she had asked him about THE Russell family.
And she chose to avoid answering, just as seriously and apprehensively as he had responded to her question.
York Charlie was suddenly a little afraid of what expectations she might have harboured to ask him this question, and in doing so, would he not have disappointed her beyond measure? He had long since got out of the way of what happened back then. But at the same time, he was also afraid that she did not hold any expectations for herself, so does this mean that she has long lost confidence in herself completely?
York Charlie unprecedentedly tangled up.
…
And after Shireen Miller left the hospital in a hurry, she went to another hospital.
Recently, she always felt that her stomach was not too comfortable, and after Mrs. Casey found out about it, she even urged her to let York Charlie accompany her to do a maternity test. But how could York Charlie accompany her? Just today, she went to his home to see him with the intention of giving it a try, and he rushed to the hospital where Blanche Capra is located without even looking at himself.
In order to marry York Charlie, there’s absolutely nothing that can go wrong with this baby. So Shireen Miller came to the hospital after seeing Blanche Capra, even though she was upset.
She was waiting in a quiet, unoccupied room with a referral from Mrs. Casey’s obstetrician and gynaecologist. With her eyes staring out the window, her thoughts tumbled again.
For the second … time in this entanglement between her and Blanche Capra, and also Brandi’s fight for York Charlie, she was in the mood for that kind of risk-taking with life and death as the stakes, the limit.
The first time was so many years ago, she secretly provoked the relationship between York Charlie and Brandi time and time again, and finally guided York Charlie to stand with herself, and pushed Brandi completely into despair and into the realm of death. At that time, she was also like what she is now, in addition to all the excitement, elation and anticipation, she also felt weak, uneasy and scared. She had pushed Brandi to her death, but she was afraid that one day York Charlie would finally come to his senses and hate her so much that he would want to kill her.
It’s an up-and-down, live-or-die kind of extreme adventure.
And this time, she deliberately misled Blanche Capra by telling her the overwhelming truth of what she had seen. She was too vain to say more, for she knew better than anyone that that small portion of the truth that remained had the power to completely upend the nature of the whole thing-that was, York Charlie’s plight.
Truly speaking, wasn’t York Charlie also the one being used? Mall wars and competing interests are never merciless. And York Charlie, I’m afraid, didn’t know what an important role he was playing in this matter, right? Even if he later learnt that he had been used by his own family, it was only the little fact that he knew, and he would never know that apart from Brandi, he was the one who had sacrificed the most.
But all this, Shireen Miller intended to bury in her stomach and not say a word.
She hoped that the part of the truth she had revealed would stir Blanche Capra’s vengeance against the Charlie family, against York Charlie, and she hoped that she would be able to really love to hate, and that in this way she would gain for herself the opportunity to get York Charlie. This is her delight and expectation.
However, she was afraid that the corner of her revelation would be completely lifted and disclosed by some force majeure. Even if York Charlie only knew one thing and not the other, she would be afraid that with his obsession with Brandi, with Brandi’s obsession with those things back then, something would happen that she would regret for the rest of her life.
The truth, the truth, no matter how many years it had been dusted off, no matter how many people had guarded it to death, wouldn’t there finally be a moment when it would be revealed? If she hadn’t been too impulsive, if she hadn’t really had no choice, how could she have taken the initiative to stir up the fire?
However, if everything is covered up, no one speaks up, no one sees the tiny, tiny part that is hidden in the deepest part of the words, then York Charlie and Blanche Capra’s break centrifugal, that is inevitable.
And she would be the ultimate victor.
This, then, is a true adventure …
Shireen Miller’s heart rose and fell, and the beautiful scenery outside the window became unappealing to the eye. Shireen Miller was startled when her tense heartstrings were suddenly triggered by a sound from the outside world.
She reacted only to realise it was nothing more than the door being pushed open and the doctor who had examined her walking in.
