Chapter 583 My Everything
Isabella was utterly shocked, staring at him as if she had heard something unimaginable. She shook her head desperately. "No, Alex, you must be lying to me. I don't believe it!"
Alexander lowered his gaze, took a deep breath, and said helplessly, "Everything I said is true. It doesn't matter if you don't believe it."
"No," Isabella cried, "When I got sick, you took care of me all the time. You even sent me abroad for treatment. You were so good to me because you love me. Otherwise, why would you keep taking care of me? You're already married. Even if I was your excuse, you didn't have to care for me. Even if you wanted to divorce her and set her free, you could have just made up a reason and said you fell in love with another woman! But your kindness to me was real, I..."
"All of this was because I felt guilty!" Alexander interrupted Isabella.
Isabella was stunned. "What did you say?"
"Earlier, when your lung had issues, I always thought it was my grandmother who affected your transplant surgery. So, I was good to you out of guilt."
"Guilt." Hearing this word, Isabella's heart felt like it had been torn apart. " Everything you did for me was out of guilt? I don't believe it."
"I'm telling the truth, Isabella. No matter what my grandmother did to you, I couldn't blame her. So, the only thing I could do was make it up to you. I even thought I might take care of you for the rest of my life because Ava doesn't love me, and there was no hope for us to be together. But I didn't expect so many things to happen later, making me realize I couldn't continue like this. I can't avoid it anymore."
Isabella took several steps back and sat on the edge of the hospital bed.
She was drenched in cold sweat, looking up at him with tearful eyes. "You love me, Alexander. Otherwise, why did you protect me so much before?"
"That was because I was angry with Ava. All these years, she has never loved me, and she has such a good relationship with other men. So, I was extremely jealous and lost my mind for a moment. I might have been deliberately trying to make Ava angry. It was like a form of revenge."
"You used protecting me to get back at Ava?" Isabella couldn't believe what he was saying.
"That's right. I did use you to carry out my ridiculous revenge. But now I realize how absurd it all was, how foolish I was. Because of my arrogance, I've lost everything."
"How can you say such things?" Isabella roared in anger, "You say you've lost everything. Does that mean I was never a part of what you considered yours?"
"Ava is my everything," Alexander said cruelly, "Without her, I have nothing and want nothing. Isabella, I'm sorry. I will compensate you. I promise your future life will be worry-free. You can do whatever you want, but I think we can't..."
"I don't want to hear it!" Isabella forcefully covered her ears. "Don't say it. I don't want to hear it!"
Isabella cried out in pain, and Alexander watched her in silence. After a long time, Isabella finally grew tired, lowered her hands, and glared at him angrily.
