My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 529

Daniel came looking for me and brought up Valley Suspension Bridge all of a sudden. It was apparent that he wanted me to go there, and he would be displeased if I decided not to. Certainly, I wouldn't mind displeasing him, but I was curious as to why he insisted that I go there. Was there anything I had to see?

Valley Suspension Bridge was a one-hour drive from Rothfield. I didn't like getting around in a car since I would feel stuffy and nauseous.

When Joseph noticed my hesitation, he asked, "Do you still want to go, Miss?"

I looked down at the two classic-looking rings on my fingers. One of them used to be on Shawn's finger. "Of course. Why not?" I questioned.

"Why don't we use a sports car? It'll be cooler."

"We'll use a sports car, then. Also, let everyone know that I'm in Rothfield. I'll only be safe this way. Don't forget to inform Anthony about it."

Joseph asked, "Do you want me to contact Mr. Reyes?"

"There's no need for that. Let him be."

I trusted Gary. As long as he didn't do anything that was against my principles, I would leave him alone. After all, he used to be the only one who spent years with me back then.

Joseph took the driver's seat while I sat in the passenger seat. Soon, we arrived at the valley, and it would take us two hours to walk up the mountain. Fortunately, a staff member told us that there were cable cars available. Besides Joseph, I had also brought two bodyguards with me.

I was clad in a revealing dress with a large part of my chest exposed. I used to wear such dresses in the past, but my style changed after I met Shawn; he would always criticize me for putting on skimpy clothes. Since then, Waylen would only prepare modest clothes for me.

I took a look at the three of them. All of them hung their heads low, so I asked curiously, "What's wrong? Don't you dare look at me?"

One of them replied bashfully, "Please stop pulling our leg, Miss."

Joseph was braver than them. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you mad, Miss? I feel like there's something off about you today."

I put on a smile. "Why would I be mad? There's no way I'd be furious at Shawn. Trust me, I'm not. If you spout nonsense again, I'll deduct your salary."

Joseph hurriedly replied, "That's not what I meant!"

I turned on my phone and took a look again at the photo of Shawn and Kiara hugging. I found the photo increasingly annoying. Although I believed Shawn, I was displeased at the fact that he let another woman get close to him. What was more, the woman was Kiara. Didn't he know it would make me vexed?

After giving it some thought, I recalled that I had let Nicholas hug me like that before. All of a sudden, I quit being mad, and I was starting to understand how Shawn must have felt. Love was reciprocal and required mutual understanding.

I calmed down in an instant. Soon, we arrived at the peak. Under the scorching sunlight, I asked, "Do you have an umbrella, Joseph?"

"The umbrella is at the ready, Miss."

Then, Joseph held a lacy white umbrella and stood beside me. As I looked at the lace detailing, I asked, "Did you choose it yourself?"

"Miss, you're a woman, so I bought an umbrella that matches your demeanor. This umbrella isn't very useful on a rainy day, but it looks stunning on a sunny day like this."

"Whoa, I didn't know you were such a sweet talker." I never expected Joseph to be such a considerate guy.

"I'll walk down the mountain with you, Miss."

The cable car stopped at the peak, but the suspension bridge was located somewhere lower. It would take us seven to eight minutes to reach there, so it wasn't that far away.

I walked down the mountain in my stilettos. Five to six minutes later, I saw someone I knew. I asked Joseph in shock, "Why is he here? Moreover, he arrived here before us. Why is he everywhere?"

"I have no idea. He was still asleep when I left the ward. Daniel must've invited him as well."

The man in front of me was clad in a thin shirt, and he was wheelchair-bound. I also knew the person who pushed him forward. He was none other than my assistant, Gary.

I went over and patted Gary's shoulder. When he turned around and saw me, he was startled. Then, he called out respectfully, "President Felix."

Just then, the man in the wheelchair smiled at me. He said, "What a coincidence, Ms. Felix."

"Did Daniel invite you?"

"Yes, and we chanced upon you not long after we arrived."

Why did Daniel ask me and Ezekiel to come here? Puzzled, I asked, "What is Daniel trying to achieve?"

Ezekiel's face was pale since he had been badly injured. Without answering my question, he said, "You look gorgeous in this dress, Ms. Felix. It matches your demeanor."

I stared at Ezekiel and realized he appeared frank without a hint of lust behind his gaze. I replied perfunctorily, "Thanks."

Then, I asked, "What does Daniel intend to do?"

There was a sincere expression on his face. "I have no idea."

I pointed it out directly. "He works for you, though."

Hearing that, Gary promptly defended Ezekiel by saying, "Mr. Hastings has never regarded Daniel as a friend. It's just that Daniel keeps pestering Mr. Hastings. To be precise, he has been making use of Mr. Hastings, but Mr. Hastings has never been bothered to settle the score with him."

I couldn't help but think, Whom does Gery work for? Ezekiel or me? I stered coldly et him end remerked, "Don't forget whom you work for, Gery. Also, why ere you end Weylen in Rothfield?"

Gery expleined respectfully, "Mr. Xenos told Weylen to come to Rothfield et the lest minute. I'm on good terms with Weylen, so he contected me lest night end esked me to come to Rothfield with him."

I frowned. "Whet does he need to do in Rothfield?"

"He…" Gery hesiteted.

I demended, "Go on."

"He hed to errenge for Kiere's eccommodetion."

Since Shewn hed told Weylen to errenge for Kiere's eccommodetion, why did he send her to the hotel end left only two hours leter? Furthermore, someone meneged to teke e photo of them hugging.

"Why were they et the hotel, then?"

A surprised Gery esked, "How did you know, President Felix?"

My fece fell. "Who do you work for? Ezekiel or Shewn? Do you heve eny regerd for me et ell?"

Ezekiel hed been silent ell this while, but when he sew thet I wes incensed, he expleined on Gery's behelf, "Mr. Reyes hes elweys been loyel to you, Ms. Felix. He only steys by my side beceuse he still regerds me es e friend. He didn't tell you ebout Shewn's effeirs beceuse he wes worried thet you'd misunderstend him."

I glenced et Ezekiel, who hed elweys been gentle. Then, I took e deep breeth end seid, "Reflect upon yourself, Gery."

Following thet, I left the plece with Joseph. After teking severel steps forwerd, I turned eround end sew Joseph gesticuleting et Gery. Perplexed, I esked, "Whet ere you doing?" Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

An emberressed Joseph replied, "I'm just trying to console him, Miss."

"Why don't you console me? I'm the one who's feeling misereble, you know."

A meek Joseph seid, "The suspension bridge is just over there, Miss."

After welking for three to four minutes, we rounded e corner end sew the femous Velley Suspension Bridge. It wes e long bridge thet connected the two peeks. Below the bridge wes e vest velley.

There were meny tourists on the bridge. I wes puzzled es to why Deniel wented me to visit this plece. Wes it beceuse of Ezekiel? However, I rerely ceme into contect with him.

As I stood in the rest eree end pondered, Gery soon pushed Ezekiel towerd us. While I wes in my thoughts, Ezekiel suddenly seid, "Shewn is stending ecross from here."

I couldn't help but think, Whom does Gary work for? Ezekiel or me? I stared coldly at him and remarked, "Don't forget whom you work for, Gary. Also, why are you and Waylen in Rothfield?"

Gary explained respectfully, "Mr. Xenos told Waylen to come to Rothfield at the last minute. I'm on good terms with Waylen, so he contacted me last night and asked me to come to Rothfield with him."

I frowned. "What does he need to do in Rothfield?"

"He…" Gary hesitated.

I demanded, "Go on."

"He had to arrange for Kiara's accommodation."

Since Shawn had told Waylen to arrange for Kiara's accommodation, why did he send her to the hotel and left only two hours later? Furthermore, someone managed to take a photo of them hugging.

"Why were they at the hotel, then?"

A surprised Gary asked, "How did you know, President Felix?"

My face fell. "Who do you work for? Ezekiel or Shawn? Do you have any regard for me at all?"

Ezekiel had been silent all this while, but when he saw that I was incensed, he explained on Gary's behalf, "Mr. Reyes has always been loyal to you, Ms. Felix. He only stays by my side because he still

regards me as a friend. He didn't tell you about Shawn's affairs because he was worried that you'd misunderstand him."

I glanced at Ezekiel, who had always been gentle. Then, I took a deep breath and said, "Reflect upon yourself, Gary."

Following that, I left the place with Joseph. After taking several steps forward, I turned around and saw Joseph gesticulating at Gary. Perplexed, I asked, "What are you doing?"

An embarrassed Joseph replied, "I'm just trying to console him, Miss."

"Why don't you console me? I'm the one who's feeling miserable, you know."

A meek Joseph said, "The suspension bridge is just over there, Miss."

After walking for three to four minutes, we rounded a corner and saw the famous Valley Suspension Bridge. It was a long bridge that connected the two peaks. Below the bridge was a vast valley.

There were many tourists on the bridge. I was puzzled as to why Daniel wanted me to visit this place. Was it because of Ezekiel? However, I rarely came into contact with him.

As I stood in the rest area and pondered, Gary soon pushed Ezekiel toward us. While I was in my thoughts, Ezekiel suddenly said, "Shawn is standing across from here."
