Chapter 31: You are heartless!
Tiffany kept backing away, looking extremely frightened.
"I'll give you one minute to gather your thoughts," Elio's voice, devoid of any fluctuations, echoed in the cold hospital room.
Without hesitation, Tiffany immediately spoke up, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything!"
But what should she say?
Tiffany had done too many evil things, so many that she didn't even know where to begin.
She had caused Elio's mother's accident, but it wasn't intentional. She was just so scared that she resorted to such extreme measures.
Tiffany stutteringly recounted everything, waiting for Elio's wrath to engulf her, but he didn't react at all. He simply sat there in silence, his expression unchanged.
Tiffany thought she had forgotten something to confide, she was sweating profusely, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't recall.
"Elio, Elio, I truly love you. I love you so much, that's why I did all this. Can you forgive me? I don't want to be locked up here anymore. They all think I'm crazy, but I'm not, Elio, you know I'm not."
"No, you are," Elio spoke abruptly, "If you weren't crazy, you'd be in jail."
Elio suddenly laughed, "Do you want to go to jail or be locked up here?"
No, she didn't want either. She didn't want to be locked up here, nor did she want to go to jail.
She fell to her knees in front of Elio, "I-I was wrong, please spare me. I know I was wrong. You mom's accident, I didn't mean to do it."
"But you falsely accused Julia for everything, right?"
'He really remembered everything!'
'He really loved that despicable Julia! Even when he spoke her name, his expression softened.'
'But why? Why did Julia deserve Elio's love?!''
During those two years he was hypnotized, no matter what she did, he wouldn't touch her.
On the surface, he claimed it was out of respect because they weren't married yet, but only she knew that he just didn't want her!
Even her sudden child was a result of a drunken night, where she pretended to look like she was taken by him.
But what she didn't expect was that during that time, she discovered she was actually pregnant!
Until now, she still didn't know whose child it was!!
"Tiffany, I won't hurt you."
Elio's words gave Tiffany the courage she needed. She believed that Elio had some feelings for her, otherwise he wouldn't have treated her this way.
"Elio," Tiffany crawled towards him, wanting to embrace his legs. But before she could get close, she was stopped by the bodyguard standing behind Elio.
Tiffany hadn't felt so helpless in a long time. She pleaded with Elio, "Elio, I beg you, I need our child. Even if it's for the sake of the child, spare me. I promise to be good from now on, I won't..."
"Our child? Who are you talking about?"
A shiver ran down Tiffany's spine, but inexplicably, she continued, "He is, he is our child! Elio, you can't be so heartless."
"That is your child, Tiffany!" Elio sneered. "If I haven't touched you, how can that child be mine?"
Tiffany completely collapsed.
"But since you want your child so much, I'll send the child to you."
Tiffany widened her eyes in horror. "No, you can't!"
"Just don't forget, this child has a weak heart. You must take good care of him."
Without caring about Tiffany's desperate cries behind him, Elio turned and left.
Just as Elio said, soon after, the child was sent in.
However, contrary to Tiffany's imagination, the child's heart clearly had just undergone surgery!
But her child didn't have a heart condition at all. He was healthy. How could he have a weak heart?
"Elio, Elio! You have no heart!"
"Ah---!! Elio, you have no heart!"
