Chapter 685 See Her Again
"But Charlotte hasn't forgiven me! Clint, I'm to blame. I hurt her in unscrupulous ways because I was blinded by love."
"I always assumed that the reason I wanted to return in the last few months was to make it clear to her so that I wouldn't have any regrets. Also, I'll be able to see Buckley again."
"But it wasn't until now that I realized I was wrong. I couldn't care less about what was going on with Buckley. I didn't care if I'd made it clear or not."
"What I care about is whether she still cares about me and whether she can forgive me. Clint, do you get it?"
"I tried to appear calm and unconcerned as if I didn't care about anything. But I noticed that it still bothers me. I care about it very much!"
"I care about her hatred for me. I care about her. Why did she save me when she despised me so much 26 years ago?"
"What I'm more concerned with is whether or not she will forgive me. Well, my life is basically a joke."
"I only realized what's most important to me when I'm about to die. Clint, please take me to see her again, okay?"
Clint's face instantly turned gloomy.
Sue's words sounded very sincere as if they came from the bottom of her heart.
But when her words fell on Clint's ear, it was like a needle pricking his heart mercilessly.
He lowered his body with his hands gripping the armrest of the chair she was sitting in, his gaze locked on her.
"As you mentioned, a person only knows what's most important to them when they're about to die. So, you're implying that Charlotte, your non-blood-related sister, is the most important to you."
"And that you genuinely care about her. You're also hoping she'll forgive and accept you again! How about me? Who am I to you?"
Clint let out a sardonic laugh, placing his hand on his heart. He was clearly smiling, but his eyes were red and welling up with tears.
"Feel my heart, Sue! You're everything to me. It's been twenty-six years. Oh, what do you think of me after twenty-six years by your side?"
"Do you really think that only your relationship with your sister is genuine? What about me? You can disregard me even after 26 years of being by your side. Is that so?"
Sue was taken aback.
She stood there in a daze, staring at Clint in front of her, who appeared to be crazy as if this was the first time she had realized the problem.
"Clint, I..."
"That's enough!"
He interrupted her abruptly as though he didn't want to hear what she had to say anymore.
He stood up and looked her in the eyes, disappointed. He then shook his head and took a step back.
"I've never realized how stupid I am until now! I thought you'd be moved, after all these years. Even if it's a block of ice, it should melt after twenty years, right?"
"Well, I was wrong. You won't be touched. Everyone else was important, except for the one closest to you."
"Have you ever loved me, Sue? You don't love me even though that we spend every day together?"
"I... "
Sue was about to respond when he interrupted her.
"Haha! It doesn't matter anymore. I am the fool in the game of love. I am the most stupid one!"
After that, he wheeled around and left in a hurry.
When Sue saw his departing figure, she stared blankly for a long time, and only then did she clench her fingers tightly.
Clint, you're wrong.
You're really wrong.
You have always held a special place in my heart!
To me, you're like family. I will die for you without hesitation.
But when it comes to love... I'm sorry, but I just can't love you.
Love was the only thing in the world that was difficult to come by and could not be forced.
......
In the evening, Sue met with Charlotte in the hospital.
After all, Buckley still needed to stay in the hospital. Charlotte was still concerned, despite the excellent hospital team and a large number of bodyguards.
As a result, she stayed with Buckley and lived in the hospital during this period of time.
Of course, Charlotte would not be treated like any other patient since she was the mother of St. Peter Hospital's owner, having only an extra bed in the ward.
Marty couldn't persuade her, so he reserved a room for her right next to Buckley's ward.
She was able to live comfortably while also caring for Buckley in this manner. It was a case of killing two birds with one stone.
Later, Charlotte was making soup in her room's kitchen when Sue arrived.
The superior beef ribs soup was loaded with tonics to help Buckley nourish his body and replenish his vitality after the car accident.
Charlotte was filling a small bowl with soup when the bodyguard brought Sue over.
"What are you doing here?" she asked, turning to face Sue.
Sue looked at her with a complicated expression in her eyes. Within, there were many indescribable emotions.
"Charlotte, I..."
She was a little nervous, and her hands moved uneasily. Seeing this, Charlotte paused.
After a brief moment of thought, she handed the soup to the bodyguard and said, "Take this to Buckley and guard outside."
"Okay, Mrs. Blaine."
The bodyguard responded as he picked up the soup and went out.
After the door closed silently, Charlotte looked straight at Sue and asked, "What exactly do you want to do here? Tell me everything you want to say once and for all so that you don't have to come again."
She leaned back against the glazed counter, having just finished making dinner, and had no intention of inviting Sue to sit in the living room.
Sue felt a bit awkward. She then lowered her head slightly and bit her lips.
However, the agony in her heart had been suppressed for a long time. She was afraid that if she didn't express it now, she would go insane.
So, after a brief silence, she raised her head and gazed at Charlotte in the eyes. "Charlotte, I don't have much time left."
Upon hearing that, Charlotte raised her eyebrows.
There was a hint of mockery in her eyes.
"What is it got to do with me? You should do your own things if you don't have any time left. What exactly do you want from me?"
The ruthless words were like a knife stabbing into Sue's heart.
Her face was pale and she shook violently.
"Charlotte, I don't want anything from you, I just..." she said, looking at Charlotte, in an unutterably sad tone.
"If you don't want anything, then go! I don't want to see you again."
Charlotte interrupted her. Then, she turned around and walked away.
Sue immediately panicked when she saw this.
She wanted to reach out and grab Charlotte, but she didn't dare.
