Chapter 263 Forget Unhappy Things
Marlon saw Raymond using all his strength to pull him up, whose face was full of worry and anxiety.
At that moment, Marlon truly felt that Raymond wanted him to live.
If he hadn't seen Margaret's suicide note.
If he hadn't heard Nancy's complaints, hadn't seen Nancy's tears.
If he hadn't run into Sarah at the café, hadn't been splashed with coffee and humiliated by Sarah, if he hadn't heard from Sarah's mouth that Raymond had already taken wedding photos with her and already started another family.
Marlon might have been moved by Raymond's performance at this moment.
Marlon angrily shouted at Raymond, saying he was giving his life back to Raymond, and hoped he stop making things difficult for Margaret and Nancy.
Raymond was busy pulling Marlon up onto the balcony, not having the time to read his lips, only hearing Marlon's aggressive tone as he babbled on. He didn't understand a word.
"Hold onto my hand! Don't let go!" Raymond gritted his teeth, struggling to pull him up.
Marlon was very heavy, and Raymond was struggling to pull him up.
But Raymond realized that no matter how hard he pulled, Marlon wouldn't come up.
"What are you doing?" Raymond roared in anger at Marlon.
Marlon suddenly let go, and his body kept falling.
Raymond grabbed his wrist again, almost driven mad by him. "Are you crazy? Margaret gave up her dignity to keep you alive! Today is New Year's Eve, what are you doing?"
"You want to die? Marlon, you're a coward! Leaving Margaret and Nancy, are you really willing to die? Are you that weak?"
"You can't die! I won't allow you to die! I want you to live!" Raymond's forehead veins bulged as he pulled Marlon's wrist back again.
Marlon looked at his furious face, feeling unusually calm.
Raymond's feelings were very complicated.
If it were before, he wouldn't have stopped Marlon from dying.
But now it was different, he had fallen for Margaret, he had made up his mind, and he had decided to go back to the way things were with Margaret, forgetting the unhappy things and the hatred.
If Marlon died, especially in front of him, he wouldn't be able to explain it.
Margaret would be in unbearable pain, hating him to the extreme, how could she go back to the way things were with him?
Besides, they already had a child!
Raymond wanted Marlon to live, even if it was painful, he had to live.
Marlon needed money for treatment, and he would give it.
He had promised Margaret that he would take care of Marlon and Nancy, and help the Hughes Family. He couldn't go back on his word.
"Hold on tight, I'll pull you up." Raymond's forehead was sweating like full pearls.
Hearing his words, Marlon was really moved, thinking of Margaret, staying with Nancy.
Even if they didn't have much money in the future, but the family would still be together.
Marlon was being pulled up with great effort by Raymond.
At that moment, he thought of the first time he met Raymond, Raymond smiling respectfully, saying he would repay his kindness.
The strong wind blew Marlon's clothes.
Marlon looked at Raymond's facial features, and at that moment, he suddenly felt relieved.
Even if Raymond pulled him up, nothing could be changed.
He had injured Gilbert, and indirectly caused Raymond's family to be destroyed. Such a big hatred, how could it be easily erased?
If he lived, Raymond would see him as a thorn in his heart.
In the end, it would still be Margaret who suffered.
Margaret had already written a suicide note.
If he didn't die, the hatred wouldn't be resolved.
Realizing it was all the punishment for his mistakes., Marlon blinked his dry eyes, looking at Raymond on the balcony, who was holding onto him tightly, and babbled.
He was saying, 'Raymond, I forgive you, let it all end. Treat Margaret well, and treat Nancy well. Don't make things difficult for innocent people. I will personally go and apologize to your parents.'
But Raymond had no mind to listen to his babbling, nor could he understand what he was expressing. On the contrary, Marlon's shouting made him even more irritable.
"Shut up!" Raymond shouted impatiently.
Marlon smiled, thinking he would be completely and utterly shut up forever.
Marlon suddenly reached out to pry Raymond's hand off his wrist.
Raymond was driven mad by his actions.
Marlon pried Raymond's fingers off, and Raymond wrapped them around again. "Marlon, I'm warning you! Today is New Year's Eve, don't cause trouble for me!"
Was Marlon trying to frame him? Was he committing suicide on the balcony? Margaret would come back, and if she saw Marlon in trouble, how could he clear his name?
"Marlon, I won't let you die! Even if you want to die, you can't do it in front of me! You're trying to harm me!" Raymond cursed angrily, tirelessly pulling Marlon up.
Besides, Marlon had caused his parents' deaths, what right did Marlon have to leave this world on his own?
Raymond wouldn't allow it to happen, but he couldn't fight against fate.
The harder Raymond pulled, the more frantically Marlon pried.
At this moment, the ornate iron gate of the Hughes Manor suddenly opened.
Margaret and Nancy walked in hand in hand, carrying desserts.
Margaret saw Marlon teetering on the balcony, struggling with Raymond, and her face instantly turned pale. She shouted angrily at Raymond on the balcony, "Raymond, what are you doing!"
Raymond's eyelid twitched at Margaret's shout.
In a moment of distraction, Marlon completely pried open Raymond's hand.
Raymond's eyes widened, and he saw Marlon quickly falling.
Before Nancy and Margaret had reacted, Marlon's body hit the ground with a thud, right at their feet.
Blood gushed from Marlon's head, mouth, eyes, and every part of his body, staining Nancy's shoes red.
With a thud, the warm dessert in Margaret's hand fell to the ground. She knelt down, hurriedly holding the blood-soaked, wide-eyed Marlon, stunned.
"Dad!"
