Chapter 406: Chapter 406: From This Moment On, Say I Love You (6)
After leaving LK Company, Mika Summers didn’t return to the hospital.
She wandered aimlessly down the street, her mind filled with what Ian Shaw had told her.
’Before I knew the whole story, I could still hold on to my hatred for him. But now... how can I hate him...?’
’Tristan Grayson had deceived me and caused me so much pain.’
’But, just as Ian Shaw said, he’s paid the price. He doesn’t owe me anything...’
’This relationship of ours... the pain was too deep. We were both left battered and bruised. There’s no going back...’
’The wounds of the past will forever be a knot in our hearts that can never be untied...’
’Maybe I shouldn’t have come back. Maybe... I was really the one in the wrong this time...’
Mika Summers looked up at the sky. A smile touched her lips as tears streamed down her cheeks.
’Tristan Grayson, from this moment on, let’s let each other go. Let’s bury this love that should never have existed deep in our hearts... or perhaps forget it entirely...’
「Anhurst Hospital.」
By the time she returned, it was already past ten at night.
She sat by the hospital bed, looking at Silas Kent with a complex mix of emotions in her eyes. Reaching out, she held his hand tightly and said in a choked whisper, "Silas, please wake up. When you do, let’s go back to Austerra, okay?"
"We can go back to how things were, working together and going home together."
...
Just then, the hand in hers twitched slightly. Mika Summers gripped it even tighter. "Silas, you can hear me, can’t you? Please wake up..."
Silas Kent’s brow furrowed as he slowly opened his eyes. Seeing Mika Summers’ reddened eyes, he felt a pang of heartache, but he was desperate to know if what she’d just said was true. "You’re willing to go back to Austerra with me?"
"Yes, I am. This place... it was never right for me."
"Are you only agreeing to come back with me because I was in a car accident?" ’If so, then I’m truly pathetic...’
"No. I’ve thought it through. The past is in the past. It’s time to look forward and cherish the person who’s right here in front of me."
"Cherish the person who’s right here in front of me"... Those words made Silas Kent’s heart tremble violently. He sat up and pulled Mika Summers into his arms. "Yes. I’m just glad you’ve figured things out."
"Silas, please give me some time. I can’t marry you just yet... but I promise I’ll try to forget everything..."
"Okay, I will. I have all the time in the world to wait for you, no matter how many years it takes."
"Thank you. Truly, thank you."
"You silly girl, don’t say such things. I’ve told you before—in this whole world, you and I are the only ones who are perfect for each other," Silas Kent said, his voice trembling as he held Mika Summers tightly.
Nestled in his embrace, Mika Summers couldn’t stop the tears from falling...
Three days later, Silas Kent was discharged from the hospital.
They returned to the company, handed off their remaining work, and then left.
’In this life, the person I’ve wronged the most is my son, Kiki. But I have to play the part of the bad mother to the very end...’
Mika Summers transferred everything she had worked so hard for over the years into Kiki’s name. And until Kiki came of age, all of it would be managed by Tristan Grayson...
Seeing Mika Summers staring blankly into space, Silas Kent walked over, wrapped an arm around her waist, and said softly, "Let’s go. We can always come back to see him in the future."
"We won’t be back. Not ever," Mika Summers said, shaking her head with a bitter smile.
