Chapter 1084 I, Will Love Her for You
Brandon continued, "You keep saying you love Penelope, but have you really thought about her? You're clinging to her, making her stay by your side, dealing with your illness..."
"At the end of your life, she's always there with you. How exhausted is she? After you're gone, how long will it take for her to heal? These scars might even follow her for the rest of her life."
"Kelvin, if you really love her, you should let her go, let her hate you. That way, when you're gone, she won't be as heartbroken."
Brandon's words echoed Kelvin's own thoughts.
He had been considering the same thing.
But it wasn't Brandon's place to dictate!
"Get out," Kelvin ordered.
Brandon shrugged, "Fine, if you change your mind, you know where to find me. I promise you, I'll be loyal to Penelope for life, loving only her. I'll love her for you."
Of all the things Brandon said, this last sentence hit the hardest—"love her for you".
Why should Brandon get to love her?
Why should Kelvin let Brandon love her?
All of this was because Kelvin had lung cancer.
The disease was merciless!
It tore apart all the beauty and warmth!
If Brandon hadn't done what he did before, Kelvin thought, he might have entrusted Penelope to Brandon.
But now... Brandon was unworthy.
"You don't have the qualification," Kelvin's eyes were sharp. "Brandon, stop dreaming. Even if I die, I won't let Penelope fall into your hands!"
"Kelvin, you have a lot of power, but when you're dead, you're not in this world anymore. How will you stop me from getting Penelope?"
How could a dead man fight a living one?
"Get a divorce," Brandon said before leaving, "Divorce her, give Penelope her freedom, let her live, while you walk the path to death."
If Kelvin divorced her, Brandon would be halfway to success!
Penelope would be free, and he could marry her!
Whether by force or by scheming, once that time came, Penelope would be his wife!
Even if Kelvin realized he didn't have cancer, just a common illness... it would be too late! Too late!
Because Penelope would already be married to him!
He would never divorce her! Kelvin and Penelope would never be together!
The more he thought about it, the more excited Brandon became, his blood boiling!
It was thrilling, Kelvin loved Penelope, but Penelope would be his wife...
Forever in love, but never together!
Brandon left the hospital room, a smile on his face, as if he had already succeeded.
He thought, even if Kelvin wouldn't entrust Penelope to him, Kelvin would get a divorce.
Because loving someone deeply meant setting them free, not letting them face death with you.
Once they were divorced... Brandon would have a great chance!
Thinking about it, Brandon walked out of the hospital.
Coincidentally, Penelope had bought breakfast and was returning.
She wore a long down coat, wrapped up to her feet, with a hat and scarf covering her face, but Brandon recognized her immediately.
He loved her so much that he would recognize her even if she turned to ash!
Brandon hid behind a nearby pillar.
Penelope didn't notice him, carrying breakfast, walking quickly with her head down.
She bought a lot of Kelvin's favorite foods, still warm, wanting to bring them to him quickly before they got cold.
Her steps were brisk, and though her expression was hidden, it was clear she was happy at that moment.
Brandon watched her enter the hospital, his eyes filled with possessiveness.
Soon, soon, Penelope, you will belong to me.
Back in his car, Brandon dialed the doctor's number.
"Hello..." Cameron's cautious voice came from the other end.
"Kelvin must have called you over," Brandon deliberately roughened his voice to disguise it, "After all, you're the only one who knows about his 'condition,' he would definitely keep you close."
"Yes."
"Then, you know what to do."
Cameron hesitated, stammering, "I, this... this is going to cause trouble."
"So what?"
"I can't do it," Cameron said, "How can I treat someone for a disease they don't have?"
Brandon asked, "Who said he doesn't have a disease? If he doesn't, then create one!"
Cameron fell silent.
"I'll send you the stuff," Brandon said, "You just put it in Kelvin's IV bottle, a little bit every day."
Brandon had planned every step.
Cameron was crucial.
So, from the beginning, Brandon had found and controlled Cameron!
"I, I, I..."
"That's settled. If you don't do it," Brandon's tone was full of threat, "You know the consequences! If Kelvin doesn't die, then you will!"
He hung up, not giving Cameron any chance.
This was Brandon's final scheme, his last card; he had to play it carefully!
He couldn't lose! He couldn't make a mistake!
If he won, he would have everything he wanted!
A malicious smile appeared on Brandon's face.
Once a gentle gentleman, now turned into this... it was truly lamentable!
The so-called unrequited love, what can it turn a person into!
Once Isabella, now Brandon!
The car drove away.
At the hospital entrance, Thessaly watched the car leave.
She recognized Brandon's car... though Brandon had more than one car, she had lived at the Walker family estate long enough to be familiar with them.
Strange, what was Brandon doing at the hospital?
Did he know Kelvin was hospitalized?
But wasn't this information sealed, known by very few? Especially Brandon, Kelvin would be more guarded against him!
With a belly full of questions, Thessaly walked towards the VIP ward.
Outside, the wind howled, but inside the ward, it was warm like spring.
Penelope carefully arranged the food, "I know you can't eat it all, but if you eat a little of everything, you'll feel better, right?"
The table was filled to the brim.
Kelvin got out of bed, walked over, and hugged her from behind.
He nuzzled her neck, "Penelope..."
She laughed, "It tickles, let's cuddle later, eat first."
"No, I want to hold you first."
Penelope asked softly, "Aren't you hungry?"
"Hungry... but," he lowered his voice, "Can I take you?"
Her face heated up, "Can you even do that now?"
He was still a patient, just had surgery, how could he be thinking about making love?
Besides, even if he could, she wouldn't agree! She wouldn't allow it!
