Love You Can’t Say

Olivia Pearson followed me downstairs in the hospital building, looked at me, and sneered, “What’s with the expression on your face? What’s wrong? Dennis told you everything, didn’t he? Did you realize you’ve been tricked around like a dumb fool?”

I looked at her. My brain was buzzing, and I couldn’t say a word.

Olivia put forward a look of admiration for me and sneered lowly, “Does it feel good to have your child killed by her birth mother’s own hands?”

I looked at her and said with the little energy I had left, “What are you talking about?”

She giggled scornfully, “What am I talking about? So, Dennis didn’t tell you that you are Luna’s biological daughter, did he? Dennis deliberately handed over the sandalwood box that your grandmother had left you to Luna Lewis and told her it was mine. He swapped my DNA with yours, dummy!”

“You are such a joke! You keep saying that he loves you, but in fact, he doesn’t love you at all. If he does ever love you a little bit, he would’ve never done everything possible to send me into the Lewis family and let me enjoy the luxurious life. And you? You are just still a pathetic wild child born in the backcountry!”

My body was like duckweed without support – I took a step back suddenly, slumped on the ground, and my eyes were a little slack.

So, my child’s tragic death, my near-death accident, and Diana’s death were all part of Dennis’s plot?

“Why?” I asked. But I wasn’t sure whom exactly I should be asking this question.

Olivia sneered, “Why? What do you think it is? The only reason is that Dennis doesn’t love you at all, in his heart, I’m still the person he wants to protect and care for. He wants to give me the best life, the most unattainable life that one could reach – Isn’t that enough?”

I looked at her, and couldn’t say a word for a while. Suddenly, I laughed, and the laughter was especially poignant, “So, his love is faked, and everything is faked.”

Olivia looked at me with a sneering joyous expression on her face, “Yes, it’s all fake.”

I was still slumped on the ground, and the people who came in and out of the hospital entrance all gazed at me with puzzled eyes.

Olivia squatted down halfway, approached me with gloomy eyes, looked at me, and lowered her voice, “Do you think he doesn’t know about the child? He knows all about it, but he pretends that he doesn’t know. He has plotted that part up a long time ago. Now, either it was your devious mother who killed your baby, or the baby stopped breathing itself inside of you because of those pills Mario Bennett has given you. Clara, the man sleeping next to you is scarier than you think, you know.”

There was a bitter sanguinary taste in my heart, and then my stomach rumbled, “Ouch!”, a mouthful of blood gushed out.

Olivia looked at me and scorned even more, “You lost, you lost completely.”NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

She got up, gave me a condescending look, and turned to leave.

When Dennis came, I looked at the bloodstain on the ground, my mind went blank. I just felt a pain in my heart. My whole body was in pain.

“Clara, what happened?” He said, reaching to hold me.

“Snapped!”

This slap, I used all the strength I had left, but it didn’t seem to have hurt him one bit.

The man’s slender body stiffened, and his eyes became deeper. Suppressing his anger, he spoke with a voice that was low and restrained, “What was going on?”

When I looked at him, I suddenly found the man disgusting, “Go away!”

He frowned, forcibly hugged me from the ground, and sent me back into the hospital.

The doctor had my pulse checked and run a few other checkups…

After a series of examinations, I lay on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the dark LCD TV above the end of the bed, and said with a low voice, “Dennis George, let’s get a divorce!”

Our divorce would be the best for everyone.

Dennis looked at me, and he had lost control of his anger. He frowned slightly, and his voice was deep and cold, “Clara, do you know what you are talking about?”

I lowered my eyes, raised my hand, and rubbed my slightly sore eyes, “It has been a mistake since the beginning. It’s not too late yet – It’s better to fix this sooner than later, so we can all move on and start fresh again!”

“Whoa!” He sneered, “What was a mistake? What do you mean by starting fresh again? Clara, why are you giving our marriage a death sentence now, without talking to me first?”

I raised my eyes and looked at him, without any change in my emotions, “I won’t take anything from the George family, including the HY Technology Co., Ltd. that Grandpa Freddy transferred under my name. I’m leaving you without taking any property after divorce. This is my repayment for Grandpa Freddy’s taking care of me back then.”

Dennis lowered his black eyes, his thin lips trembled slightly, with a sneer and suppressed anger, “Give me a reason.”

What did he think the reason was?

I smiled lightly. I had gone through so much along the way, and I couldn’t feel any emotions seemingly now. I would just hold down anything in my heart and let it rot little by little.

“We’ve been married for three years. The day when I stepped into the George family, I have known that you have a special spot inside your heart for Olivia Pearson. I’ve prepared myself for this since the day I married you, so if you are really leaving me for Olivia one day, I could still handle our separation in peace.”

When I met his dark eyes, I forced an awkward grin, “You are never protective of me, you aren’t even in love with me. Probably I never have been good enough for you to fall in love with me. I don’t blame you. But Dennis, you shouldn’t treat me like a moron and use my love for you to hurt me! The bottom line is that you should never have schemed me up and have cost your own child’s life for the sake of Olivia’s well-being!”

Dennis’s eyes were extremely upset, and he spoke, “What did Olivia tell you?”

I pursed my lips and stabbed my fingertips into my palm to ease the pain in my heart, “She told me everything that that should be said. I have never thought about finding my birth parents at all since I was a kid. I even have no problem with you having Olivia take my identity to let her have a bright and promising future. But you shouldn’t have dragged me into your plot. As I have mentioned before, as long as you and I have divorced, I would take the child with me and still live a low-key decent life. You and Olivia can reply on the personnel networks of the Lewis family to build a further success and brighter future together.”

“Clara…” Dennis spoke. His eyes were gloomy and his voice was full of complicated emotions.

I took a breath and said, “But why did you have to mess up my life and let me go through life and death again and again? Why did you drag the people I care about into this pile of mess? Why won’t you let me go? What have I done to make you so disgusted and hate me so much that you have to keep me by your side to torture me in all kinds of ways?”

“I…” Dennis spoke, and his voice was a bit choked. I sighed, tried to force a laugh but finally failed, “I will find someone to draw up the divorce agreement. Dennis, show me some respect. Let me go, please!”

Dennis’s eyes were red and furious. He looked at me, stunned with turbulent pain.

I closed my eyes, took a breath, and said, “Go away!”

My grandmother used to say that our life was too short – Some people spent it in a confused way, and some people spent it with a crystal-clear mind. No matter how it went, what mattered most was that they felt happy in their hearts.

But I seemed to have lived like a dumb for so many years, and now I would like to change and live with a clear mind, it would almost cost me half my life.
