Chapter 434 Who Was Regretting

&#lt;p&#gt;&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Charles Read, why do you lie to me?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“You will need to ask your daddy! He offended so many people including me!” Charles said in
melodious voice, with a mild smile and he looked at Macey disdainfully. “It’s you who are unrestrained
and unable to stand those enticements. If it was Leila Hunter, all these tragedies would not happen!
Leila is stronger than you. She would rather do self-injury than have sex with me. What about you?
Since you have poor self-control, you deserve to be the one who gets hurt!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Macey’s face turned pale and felt that the man standing in front of her was a devil.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Now, there are two options for you. Your first choice is to leave F City and as time goes, nobody will
recognize you then you can live your own life! The second option is to stay here and be looked down
by the others for the rest of your lifetime! Everyone will remember that you are a licentious woman!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Charles smiled elegantly and then only looked back at Macey again. He said continually, “Of course!
You have the third choice which is to become a prostitute and serve different men every night. Don’t
you like this?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Macey said with a pale look, “Charles, I have only one question for you. Right from the beginning, do
you ever love me?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Love?” Charles seemed to be listening to a joke. “Fall in love with a woman like you? Do you think it is
worthy?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;At that moment, Macey felt extremely hurt and looked at Charles, “Never even a bit?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“No!” Charles smiled elegantly. “I have answered your question. Can I leave now?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Charles! You are a bastard!”&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Yes, so what?” Charles raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a pair of cold eyes. “You can only
blame your father for being too merciless. You deserve it!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“How did my father offend you? Explain it clearly!” Macey blocked Charles’s way.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;In the dark, Charles looked at Macey with his cold eyes and lit a cigarette. He held the cigarette with his
slender fingers and emitted the white smoke directly onto Macey’s face.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Macey looked at Charles’s face and held her breath suddenly. Her heart started to beat rapidly, and her
face was blushed. When she opened her mouth wanting to call him, he opened his mouth first and
asked indifferently, “What do you want me to explain clearly?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Macey was stunned while looking at Charles. His thin and resolute face which brought some coldness
like winter snow showed his indifferent temperament. His dark eyes looked deep and bright like the
shining stars in the sky. There was some darkness hidden inside the eyes. Meanwhile, he also pursed
his thin lips without any emotions.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Charles! Why did you do this to me?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Because your last name is Hunter!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“I thought that you love me at least a little bit!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“What? You love me for real? Macey?” He hugged her thin waist and rubbed it forcefully. He smiled
evilly, “What? Do you want to spend another wonderful night with me again?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She realized his hidden enmity when he hugged her waist with such a strong force, as if he was going
to break her waist. She felt so painful that she moved her body to get rid of him. She gently said,
“Char...”&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Don’t ever call me Char!” Charles shouted at her indifferently and suddenly pushed her against the
wall forcefully without any emotion. He grinned, “You are a licentious woman for sure! I just leave for a
while and you already found so many men!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Macey was astonished when glaring at Charles’s perverted face which looked like an evil devil. There
were tears filling up her clear eyes gradually. She opened her mouth, but she could not speak out a
word. True! When he left, he gave her a tape which was about them. Then, he said that the main copy
was with Vincent White!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;At that moment, she knew that, he approached her for a reason! She had a serious setback because
she betrayed Vincent for the sake of Charles. And now, she lost Vincent and Charles too! At that
moment, she felt that the whole world was full of lies.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Her love was that cheap and insignificant which could be trampled by Charles casually!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Charles easily lifted her by grabbing her collar and he got close to her lips. His big hands already
entered her shirt, grabbing and rubbing her breast maliciously. He said provokingly, “After serving so
many men, your breast is already too soft and they are sagging now! Perhaps no one would spend five
hundred to spend a night playing with you anymore in the club?!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Macey pursed her lips forcefully because she felt humiliated by his rudeness. Her delicate red lips
turned pale, and her long eyebrows were coating with a thin layer of mist. She stared blankly at the
man in front of her. Was this the man that she loved before?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She could throw her temper to anyone else but only him, she did not know how to face him!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Macey suppressed her emotions and asked again, “Have you ever loved me sincerely for real?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“No!” He said mercilessly again.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Alright!” Macey finally understood that it was true that she was just being used. That was it. She was
just a part of their tricks, a pathetic victim who shouldered all the responsibilities herself.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Macey slightly changed her expression. Charles... a merciless man. Previously, she loved him but for
now, she did not possess any hope for him. She smiled coldly, turned around then left.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Without knowing the reason, up until today when looking at Macey’s gloomy face, Charles frowned
inexplicably and pursed his lips tightly. Facing a woman that had once loved him, he felt guilty
eventually although he did not admit it.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Macey went back to Arthur’s apartment. When she walked into the living room, she found that the lights
were still on and Arthur was sitting on the sofa leisurely with a goblet on his hand. The red liquid was
indeed alluring. Apparently, Macey was slightly surprised because Arthur did not return home these few
days. “You are here?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Yes!” Arthur raised his head and saw Macey. The make up on her face was smudged and she was in a
mess. He was astonished and asked, “Why are you looking like this?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Nothing!” Macey waved her hands without paying attention to him and shook her head. She sat
directly on the sofa and said, “Give me a glass of wine. I want to drink too!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Arthur nodded and did not stop her. He poured a glass of wine and handed it over to her.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Arthur, I will go abroad!” Macey drank the wine in the glass at a stretch. “I’ll take your advice! I will go
abroad!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Good girl!” Arthur patted her on her shoulder, “That’s right! I will arrange for you.”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Arthur, I think I am wrong! I realize that I am wrong for the first time!” Macey put the wine glass on the
table and covered her face with her hands. “I am wrong! So wrong! I can’t go back!”&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Macey had never been as sober as she was at the time. She removed her shoes and sat on the sofa
with her legs crossed. While looking at Macey who curled herself up and covered her face to cry, Arthur
felt sorry for her. “Everyone will make mistakes and it is important that we learn lesson from it!
Everything will be over!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Nope! I will be having lots of punishment in the future. It will not be over. I finally understand that once
you have done wrong, you will need to pay back one day...” Macey sighed with sorrow. “I will need to
pay the price for my own actions!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“That’s not scientific proven!” Arthur laughed. “But it’s true though. I believe in it deeply, but God has
mercy. If you realize your mistake and correct it, you are still a good fellow.”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Drink!” Macey wiped her face and took a deep breath.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Arthur poured another glass of wine for her again.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Don’t drink too much or else you will suffer too!” Listening to Arthur’s clear voice, Macey felt touched
for his kind consideration. She replied evasively. Arthur was the man that should be loved, and she only
hoped that she could look properly and find a proper person to love in her next lifetime. Never be fooled
so miserably like in this life!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Never mind! I will not be drunk!” Macey smiled and shook her head.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Macey suppressed her complicated emotions and smiled lightly while drinking the wine at one go.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She did not know how much she had drunk, she was not drunk at all and her mind was very clear.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Arthur switched on the television and played a song. The sorrow melody and gloomy tempo made them
become quiet.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Macey immersed herself into the sorrowful music and her memories were triggered in her mind. She
realized that all those helplessness, anger and sadness did not disappear at all, she was not strong
and merciless enough. If not, she would not have felt hurt whenever she reminisced them.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The journey was very long, and she could not guess where her destination was. At last, was someone
waiting for her there? Could it be that she would not get the simple life she desired anymore?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She finally understood today the saying—once the first step was wrong, everything would go wrong.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She drank the wine one sip after another and let her tears flow out with the sad melody. The spiciness
of the wine stung the throat and formed an unutterable bitterness in the mouth that straightened to the
bottom of her heart. She bit her bottom lips tightly and eventually cried uncontrollably, she cried until
she lost her sound in the half-drunk state.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;If she did not run around that day, Leila would not chase after her and then pushed her to save her.
Therefore, her mother would not push Leila too then she could have escaped from death.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Why did she run out at that moment? If not, at least her mother would not die on that day!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Her mother still had her!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;After losing her mother, her entire world had changed, and her father was extremely regretful. Even
though she was frustrated, she could see that how regretful her father was.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She did not understand why her father that used to love her mother so much could change so abruptly?
Also, why did her father who was extremely gentle previously become so mean and insisted on
divorcing her mother?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;‘Mum, was it worthy for this merciless man? Mum, you were too selfish because you left me alone.
Didn’t you feel guilty?’&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;‘But mum, you were freed!’
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;‘Macey knew your emotion and understood how painful you were. Mum, Macey wanted to accompany
you there, but Macey knew that you would be upset! So, I would continue to live properly.’
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Her heart was in pain as if it was squeezed. She felt extremely upset. She drank the whiskey in her cup
at one go. ‘what the fuck love is, what the fuck will never change, all the love was just temporary, and
all the promises did not last long! Nothing!’
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Arthur looked at her and remained silent. That was her world and she needed to vent.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;At the corridor in the hospital.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Vincent stood at the corridor while smoking and his lonely shadow had been pulled until very long
under the shade of the moon. Finally, without knowing how long he had been standing, Vincent walked
towards Brian’s ward in big steps.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;When he arrived at the door, he met Leila who just walked out.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;They looked at each other and Vincent was like having thousands of words to say.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Leila raised her eyes and gave him a glance, then she left a space at the door for him and left the ward
directly.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
