Chapter 405 Why Are You Still Protecting Her
Her entire body ached as if it were about to fall apart.
"Sebastian, Mario called you and told you everything. You know that I trust you, and you also know I might doubt you. You're very clever."
"You pretend not to know and silently accuse me by acting like I've wronged you and you're so aggrieved."
"This way, you can make me feel guilty, make me stop dwelling on this matter, and completely dispel my doubts about you, trusting you completely."
Isabella's eyes were vacant, and every word she spoke carrying pain.
Her throat felt constricted, making it hard to speak. She gasped for breath after each sentence.
"Sebastian, do you know what you've been doing to me?"
"You've been lying to me all along!" She started to laugh shakily. "Is it necessary? Haven't I trusted you enough? You have so many flaws, and I turned a deaf ear to them. Isn't that enough?"
"I doubted you again and again and then trusted you wholeheartedly each time. But what did I get in return? Is this how you treat me?"
Isabella grabbed Sebastian's hand, trembling. "Why?"
She was genuinely confused, completely unable to understand why Sebastian did this.
Isabella never dared to mention that Sebastian hid evidence to protect Lynda.
She didn't even dare.
She didn't even dare to mention Lynda.
It was too terrifying.
"I was dying. I almost had a miscarriage. You have a heart of stone! Why hide it? Why protect her?"
Sebastian deceived her, but she couldn't deceive herself. What Grace had said was true. It was true!
Faced with Isabella's accusations, Sebastian was speechless, unable to respond.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Isabella's eyes filled with tears. "Am I right or wrong? Can you give me an answer?"
When Sebastian saw the expectation in Isabella's eyes gradually fade, his heart turned numb.
He was undoubtedly in pain, a pain that spread throughout his heart.
But meanwhile, he felt relieved. The weight and lies he had been carrying disappeared with the exposure of the truth.
From now on, there would be no more secrets between him and Isabella.
No more!
Sebastian's Adam's apple bobbed, then he lowered his head and grabbed Isabella's hand, which was tightly clutching the phone, and silently pried her fingers open one by one.
Isabella's hand gripped the phone so tightly that her knuckles turned white, looking alarming.
"It will hurt." Unable to pry it open, Sebastian didn't dare to force it. He looked up and said, "Let go."
Isabella had been waiting, hoping that Sebastian would deny what she said.
However, he didn't.
His evasion confirmed that all her suspicions were true.
"Hurt?" Isabella's eyes burned, and tears streamed down her face. "If I'm hurt, will you care?"
Sebastian wiped away the tears at the corner of Isabella's eyes and hoarsely asked, "Do you think I don't care?"
Isabella shook her head.
"I care," Sebastian replied, "Very much. Are you hurt?"
Nonsense!
He was deceiving her again!
Sweet words turned out to be the most hurtful things in the world.
Isabella shouted, "Sebastian, stop lying to me!"
She was already in tears. "Do you think I haven't had enough of your fake sweet words?"
Sebastian continued to gently pry Isabella's fingers. When he heard her words, his body stiffened, and his shoulders tensed.
After a while, he resumed his actions.
Sebastian lowered his head. "It's not fake. It's sincere and genuine."
He spoke calmly but with great determination.
Isabella completely broke down. "Sebastian! I'm begging you. Stop!"
"Did you lose your memory and forget what you have done to me?" Isabella shouted, "Then let me remind you!"
Isabella cruelly reopened her bloody wounds.
She gritted her teeth, enduring the pain, and said with difficulty, "I escaped death with our two babies, and you, after finding the evidence, let the culprit go."
Sebastian said, "But you can't deny our feelings for each other because of this."
They loved each other. In Sebastian's eyes, this was just a minor setback.
"I know you're in pain, and I'll make it up to you. Don't deny my feelings for you."
Sebastian's words were still so domineering.
"But do you think it's just this one thing? No. Actually, letting Lynda go isn't what hurts me the most," Isabella said in disappointment. "The first time you chose Lynda over me, it hurt a lot."
"But after so many times, the pain has already scabbed over. It's numb, and I can't feel much of the sting."
"What makes me feel unbearable pain is..."
Isabella couldn't continue. Her vision was pitch black, and she couldn't see anything.
She struggled in the darkness, speaking with difficulty, "It's that you let her go, held all the evidence, and still lied to me, telling me you couldn't find any evidence."
"You even told me that once you found the evidence, you would punish Lynda. That's the cruelest part."
Sebastian remained silent.
He touched Isabella's fingertips, which were colder than ice in winter. His large palm enveloped hers.
However, Isabella felt cold, unable to sense any warmth.
She continued, "You used sweet words and lies to create a trap for me, making me lose my mind step by step, believing your words like a fool."
"Now that I know everything, I've never despised my foolish self so much! You're Sebastian, the president of the Lawrence Group!"
"You and Jarod are powerful. With so much power and such an extensive information network, and you couldn't find the evidence? What a fool I am!"
Isabella cried and then laughed, even laughing out loud, "Even someone as useless as me found clear evidence. The Lawrence family couldn't find any?"
"But I was so stupid, I actually believed your words, always trusted you, and argued with Grace for you. Grace and Lynda must be laughing their heads off."
"And Sebastian, I loved you and trusted you to this extent, and you still pretended to be innocent and aggrieved to manipulate me, to make me feel guilty. What kind of human are you? You're a devil."
Isabella's hand lost its strength, unable to hold the phone. Tears flowed down her cheeks into her mouth, the bitter salty taste making her sick.
