Chapter 1567
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
When she heard what he said, it was as if something heavy had hit her chest.
Cathy opened her eyes wide and felt her thoughts pulling her back. She blanked out for a moment.
âCathy.â
Adam said that he would never let Cathy return to that man.
âIs the Cathy Adam mentioned really me?
âAm I really Cathy?â
Cathy was dumbfounded and stunned on the spot. All of her attention fell on Felipeâs body involuntarily.
She saw Felipeâs graceful and innocent handsome face showing a regretful smile.
âDonât worry, I wonât force Cathy to do anything anymore. Iâve seen it myself that sheâs more suited to stay with you now,â Felipe said with a sad smile, âI know I canât give her the happiness she deserves. I just canât help but miss her.â
âMiss her?â Adam laughed sarcastically. âIf you really missed her, how could you have ordered someone to shoot Cathy in the first place?!â
Hiss.
When he brought up the events of that year and that day, Felipeâs face suddenly sank coldly. A touch of pain flowed between his eyebrows.
âIf it werenât for Cathy being lucky, do you think that youâll still be able to see her now? She doesnât remember all the unhappy things that happened before anymore, and she has forgotten you completely. She has started to live her life normally now, so why are you still showing up to bother her?â
Every word that Adam said was aimed at Felipe. He blamed him for everything. A moment later, he finally asked with a sigh.
âFelipe, do you really understand what love is? Have you ever actually loved Cathy? The love you think that youâre feeling now is nothing more than just regret and the atonement of what youâve done.â
Felipe was stunned when he heard those words.
âWhat counts as love?
âWhat is love?â
He searched his mind and could not find any trace of his love for Cathy.
However, the bits and pieces of Cathyâs love for him were vivid in his mind, as if ingrained in his heart.
âFelipe, you donât know love at all, and you definitely donât deserve Cathyâs love.â When Adam saw Felipe quiet and inattentive, Adam made the final decision before turning back to the kitchen.
Felipe stood in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.
Was he doing all of this just for atonement?
Just to make himself feel better?
No, that was not true.
Felipe kept denying it in his heart, but he really could not find any actions of his toward Cathy that showed his love for her.
âI love her. I really love her. Cathy. I love herâ¦â
Felipe whispered to himself and turned around, walking straight to the gates.
Cathy stood at the top of the stairs, watching Felipeâs departing back. For a long while, she was unable to recover from the information she had just heard.
âIt turns out that Iâm really Cathy.
âI really amâ¦â
Adam had not noticed Cathy, and the conversation that he had with Felipe just now also made him a little distracted.
He absent-mindedly made breakfast only to find that Felipe was no longer there.
He thought that perhaps Cathy might still be asleep, so he went to call the siblings, who were playing in the study, over for breakfast.
Yesterdayâs rain had not stopped, but the rain was much lighter now.
Felipe walked forward silently under the light rain with wounds all over his body as he recalled all the cruel things he had done to Cathy. He played them over and over again in his mind.
He remembered that it was because of him that the two kidsâ lives were lost.
Was he crazy at that time?
He must have been very cruel to treat her so cruelly.
