Deadly Doting Marriage Novel - Chapter 76
Chapter 76: We Are Even
“You invaded my life. You are the source of my anxiety.”
“However, it was also you who took my hand and gave me a home ten years ago.”
“When I was sick, it was you who took care of me.”
“During the thunderstorm, I was so afraid that I couldn’t sleep at night. It was you who accompanied me through every night!”
“If all this care can offset my hatred for you, then we are even. I don’t owe you anything!”
John had not expected Kathleen to say these words. He widened his eyes and looked at Kathleen. “What do you mean by you don’t owe me anything?”
“The car accident that happened more than ten years ago was staged!”
Kathleen looked at him quietly and said slowly, “I have already sent all the evidence to your email!”
“You can investigate the truth.”
“I believe that with young master’s ability, you will soon know that my father was innocent. Also…”
Kathleen stretched out her slender fingers and took out a card from her bag. She said gently, “The money in this card can repay the kindness you have shown me over the years and the apartment in Crafield…
“Young master, I thank you for raising me. I have repaid my debt.”
Kathleen felt relief after her speech.
Within the ten years, there had been love, hatred, resentment, anger, sadness, joy, a moment of coldness in her heart, and a moment of warmth. All of that seemed to be coming to an end.
She was finally not the daughter of the criminal. She no longer had to face John as a debtor.
Kathleen put down the card and prepared to leave. However, John quickly stepped forward and grabbed her arm. “What do you mean by that? You had repaid your debt? You are leaving?”
“I told you that I won’t read the email. I will never read it. Your father is the culprit who caused the death of my entire family and caused me to lose a leg. You can’t leave either…”
John pinched Kathleen’s chin and said through gritted teeth, “How dare you try to betray and escape from me!”
“How did you befriend Jimmy and Alex? Where did you get the money?”
There are too many questions for Kathleen.
“Tell me, what have you done behind my back?”
Kathleen raised her head, and her black eyes fixed on John.
“No comment!”
John’s whole body shook when he heard her respond. He was too shocked to move.
He looked deeply at the girl in front of him. She was no longer the Kathleen he had raised.
She changed, became strange, alienated, and could speak well. Every word with a sharp, like an invisible knife, ruthlessly stabbed into his heart.
The thing he spent more than ten years raising was gone.
The two of them stood very close, but John felt that she was very far away from him.
It was as if one person was at the top of the world and another was at the bottom of the sea, separated by mountains and rivers. They were not even strangers.
Kathleen seemed to have already anticipated his reaction. With an indifferent expression, she said, “Young master, we are even. I should leave now!”
How could John let her leave? He held tightly onto Kathleen’s hand and said in a deep voice,
“What do you mean by we are even?” “Kathleen, you can’t go. You’re mine!” “You can never escape from me. You can not leave me!”
Kathleen looked at the manic John with a faint expression. His pitch-black eyes were devoid of the previous emotions.
John’s heart suddenly sank. He thought of something and hugged Kathleen, pressing her head tightly against his chest as if afraid that she would disappear.
John said in a low voice, “Kathleen, what’s wrong with you? Haven’t you calmed down a few days ago? Why are you making me angry again?”
“Didn’t I tell you not to touch my bottom line…”
A piece of his heart seemed to have been dug out as he said it. John was panicking, and he could not help but tremble.
“Kathleen, you know that I won’t let you go. You know that I can’t live without you. Why do you choose to leave at this moment?”
He shook Kathleen’s shoulders forcefully and gritted his teeth. “Why? Why must you treat me like this? I raised you. You can only be mine!”
At this moment, John was panicking and helpless. This girl was going to leave. He felt that she had the ability to leave. He absolutely would not allow it.
Kathleen’s expression was indifferent. “Young master, from the moment you shot Jimmy and Alex, I was no longer the orphan girl that you raised!”
“The reason why I’ve been so obedient all these years is that I still felt the care you had toward me…”
It was that warmth that allowed her to stay until now.
“Young master, I won’t testify against you. Just take it as my final repayment to you for all these years…”
The two of them stood silently on the spot. The cold wind blew into the window from outside, making rustling sounds.
At this moment, it was clearly so cold and lonely, yet it was so loud and chaotic.
In the huge study room, the corners of John’s mouth twitched as he wanted to say something.
He wanted to make Kathleen stay, and he even wanted to beg. He wanted to use all means to make Kathleen stay.
However, he was unable to let go of his pride. He could only tightly hold onto Kathleen’s hand and laugh out loud, “Is this your repayment to me?”
“Kathleen, you owe me too much. Do you think you can repay me?”
“You owe me a favor. You owe me the love I gave you. How are you going to repay all of this?”
Kathleen lowered her head as she felt something in her heart. However, she glanced at John with an indifferent expression, “But this is all I can give you…”
“Young master, let’s call it a day!” After Kathleen said this, she no longer paid attention to John and turned around to leave!
“No way!” John could not contain his anger as he chased after Kathleen and said furiously, “You are mine. Without my permission, you will never be able to escape from me!”
He walked too quickly and tripped over something under his feet, causing him to fall to the ground.
The prosthetic leg fell off his stump, making a loud sound as it fell to the ground.
Kathleen stopped walking.
Her heart was on fire. She heard the prosthetic leg fall to the ground. She closed her eyes, opened them again, and walked out of the room without looking back.
John looked at Kathleen with incomparable anticipation, hoping that Kathleen would turn around. He hoped that she would stay and take care of him like before.
However, Kathleen had not even looked back at him and left.
Her slender and cold back view disappeared, and John’s entire body trembled violently. He sat on the ground in despair…
