My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 475

I had been staying in Robert's ward for a long time, but Shawn still hadn't arrived at the hospital. I felt fidgety as I was eager to see him. I fished out my phone and sent him a message. 'When are you arriving?'

Shawn replied, 'The traffic is bad. Please give me some time.'

I rose from the chair and walked up to the window. It was quiet outside the building as only several people passed by. When Robert saw the way I looked, he teased me by saying, "Are you waiting for your husband or something? It seems that you're addicted to him."

I replied nonchalantly, "I've always been addicted to him."

"Fine. I envy couples like you and Shawn."

I could hear a tinge of sorrow in his voice. As such, I turned around and shuffled toward him. "Have you ever considered getting married?"

I heard that Robert was ill. It was a kind of blood-related disease, but I had no idea what exactly it was.

Robert lowered his head. "I haven't found anyone I love."

"You won't feel lonely when you have someone by your side," I said. Robert was a lonely man, but I knew he craved love and warmth.

"Well, I'm a lascivious man who has messed with a lot of women. I'm rotten from the inside, so I don't deserve to love anyone. Stop butting in my affairs, will you?"

Robert said he was rotten from the inside, but I didn't think so. He only let himself indulge in licentious activities because of his illness. "You deserve to be loved," I said.

"Tsk, I told you to stop interfering in my affairs."

All of a sudden, Robert chased me away impatiently. After I left the ward, Shawn still hadn't arrived at the hospital. Therefore, I decided to leave the building. Then, I saw Joseph waiting for me at the entrance.

I hadn't seen him for several days, so I asked caringly, "How are you?"

"I've mostly recovered. I'm sorry for not being able to work in the past few days. Moreover, it's because of my matters that… I'm sorry, Miss. It's my fault." NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

He was hurt in Finland, and Tracy was also there at that time. I could figure out what had happened without him telling me anything. Regardless, Joseph was an honest and straightforward man.

"It's fine. I know you're a hardworking man. Just tell me whenever you need a day off. It's not like I'm a cold-blooded person, you know."

Joseph expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thanks, Miss."

We talked for a while more. Seeing that he appeared hesitant, I asked probingly, "What's wrong?"

"Miss, do you think I can never get together with a prestigious lady like Tracy because of my humble background?" he asked.

I said in shock, "Why do you think so?"

"She has only allowed me to be her lover."

What was a lover? It was a person who had to be ready whenever the other party called and couldn't interfere in their affairs.

I frowned. "Did you agree to it?"

"Yes. I couldn't turn her down."

There was a hint of dejectedness in his voice. I knew it wasn't that he couldn't turn Tracy down, but he didn't have the heart to do so.

"Backgrounds matter when it comes to love."

Joseph hung his head low. "Just like what I thought…"

I patted his shoulder and said seriously, "That's the prerequisite, but it's not the only factor. Tracy is the leader of the Hayes Family now, so no one can stop her from marrying anyone. Moreover, she and the leader of the King Family are best friends. If she's sincere enough, I'm sure Shawn won't mind working with her. Therefore, she's not lacking any business opportunities. There's no reason for her to marry a wealthy man to strengthen her power. Backgrounds don't matter to her when it comes to finding a man.

It depends on whether she loves you."

I wasn't fond of Tracy, but I wouldn't stop Joseph from getting together with her. That was because Joseph loved her, and I had no right to tell him what to do. Furthermore, Tracy indeed wasn't a terrible person. She only treated me harshly. All the same, I was no longer her love rival.

I then explained to him, "Since she has asked you to be his lover, it shows that she has feelings for you. I think… Well, it's just my speculation. I think she's refraining from getting too close to you because you work for me. That's the reason she wants you to be her lover. Joseph, a woman's heart is soft, so you just have to treat her better and shower her with love. I'm sure she'll be moved. You're just too… taciturn."

It seemed that Joseph finally understood what I said. "I got it, Miss."

"I heard that she's in Bryxton now."

"Yes, but she'll be going back to Europe with that person from the King Family in two days."

Tracy and Amy were indeed best friends. I teased him, asking, "Why don't you keep her company now?"

"I'll go over in the evening. There's no rush."

"I'll let you and the other bodyguards have a day off. Don't worry. There won't be any danger. I'll spend the entire day with Shawn, so all of you can get some rest today."

Joseph asked with a smile, "Are you going on a date, Miss?"

"Shush. You may leave now."

"We'll only leave when Mr. Xenos arrives."

"Fine. He'll be here soon anyway."

In just five to six minutes, Shawn's car pulled up in front of the hospital. Waylen got out of the vehicle and opened the door for me. I snuck into the car and wrapped my arms around Shawn's neck before rubbing his face with my nose. I said longingly, "You smell fantastic."

Waylen said with a smile, "I have to close the door, Mrs. Xenos."

I hurriedly pulled my legs into the vehicle and kissed Shawn's cheek. He seemed to enjoy my kiss as he squinted and asked, "How's Mr. Larson?"

"He seems fine."

"He looked badly injured the other day. I suppose it'll take him some time to recover. Now that both of us are wounded, I believe it'll be peaceful in Bryxton for quite a while. Kevin is in charge of the business in Europe, so I don't have to worry about anything."

As I hugged him, I rubbed my face against his and asked expectantly, "Does that mean you won't be returning to Finland for the time being?"

"Yes, I'll stay in the country for quite a while, so I'll be able to keep you company. Is there anywhere you'd like to visit?"

I kissed his cheek again in surprise. "Really?"

"I've made some work arrangements."

"Please tell me you're not lying to me, Sunny."

The man shot me a look. "When have I ever lied to you?"

Happiness came when I least expected it. "I'm fine with going anywhere, Sunny. I'll be happy as long as I'm with you. However, I hope it won't be somewhere cold."

"I've thought of a place."

I asked joyfully, "Where is it?"

"You'll know when the time comes."

He had learned to keep me on tenterhooks! I asked, "Can I bring the kids?"

Shawn said in a small voice, "Are you sure you want to take care of them on vacation?"

The kids were very young, so it was indeed difficult to take care of them. As such, I cast the idea away. I went on to ask, "Where are we going now?"

"I'm bringing you to see a person."

My curiosity was piqued. "Who is it?"

"It's someone you know."

Who was it that Shawn and I both knew?

I was deathly curious. While on the way to our destination, I unlocked my phone and saw that Kevin had created a new group and invited Shawn. However, Morgan wasn't in the group this time. A woman like her was indeed detestable.

In the group, Kevin said, 'Guys, I've created a new group. Talk to each other when you're free.'

I went through the list of people in the group that included Emma, Amy, Shawn, Diego, Tracy, and Ian. Certainly, Kevin was in the group as well. They were all close friends.

However, I realized there was an unfamiliar number in the group. Who is it?

Emma was the first one to respond. 'Can I invite a relative?'
