Chapter 73
“Tristan, I only come here today to see you because of Winnie,Zoe and Noah.They were really worried about you.I hope you don't have any other thoughts. The reason why I came to see you is that I don't want others to gossip about me. In case someone will slander me and say that I am heartless."
Cora’s delicate face looked ruddy in the light of the hospital. Perhaps it was because she was excited, or perhaps it was because she had a good rest for the past two months. Now, she was almost the same as she was four years ago. What changed was her broken heart which was gradually healing.
Tristan swallowed.Her words were more painful than the wounds on his body.
"I see." Tristan’s face darkened and his voice lowered.
He had ruined what they had and he couldn't blame anyone. He just wanted to recover as soon as possible, so that he could ease his relationship with Cora.He still believed that he could make things up to her.
The worse her attitude was, the sadder his mood became. She was once a calm and submissive woman, but now she was forced to be like this.
Looking at Cora’s expressionless face,Tristan didn't say anything either. Even if she complained about him, he would feel better, but what she said was not complaints, but cold and painful words.
One's attitude towards another person could be seen, like or hate, love or hate. Now Tristan finally understood Cora’s previous feelings. It was true that they didn't have empathy, but set an example.
"If you don't have anything else to say, I'll go first. I think you'll recover soon. If nothing goes wrong, this is the last time we meet."
There was a sense of relief in her tone.
"What do you mean?"Tristan was shocked with his eyes wide open. Since Cora entered the ward today, he felt that she was totally different from before. He had been thinking about what was the difference just now, and now he finally understood that it was her attitude greatly different from before.
"I don't mean anything. It means literally. Anyway, we have severed our relationship now. As for whether to announce divorce or not, it's up to you. I will get married as soon as I meet the right person. I'm still young. It's impossible for me not to marry because of your agreement. "There was a sarcastic smile at the corners of Cora’s mouth.
Tristan felt that his heart was heavier and heavier, as if it was tied to a stone.
She had become so lethal.
The more beautiful things were, the more poisonous they were. Tristan didn't believe it before, but now he had to believe that roses were not poisonous, but they had thorns.
Without sparing him another look,Cora turned around and left. Tristan who was lying on the bed, also had a gloomy face. However, he had a lot of things to deal with by himself now. It was at this moment that he realized how much damage he had done to her.
She didn't even blame him for anything, but every word she said made him feel pained.
The moment she walked out of the ward,Cora let out a sigh of relief. She had suppressed her anger for so long. Before today, she had vented it all. Since then, she would not care about it anymore.
Phoebe was furious, "I think there are some people who don't mean what they say.You were gone for two months and it was certain that you didn’t give a fuck about Tristan but here you are,rushing back to him. Who are you trying to impress?"
If it had been in the past, Cora would have felt that she couldn't respond to these embarrassing words. But now, it was different.
She took two steps forward, only half a meter away from Phoebe.
Zoe was very nervous. She didn't want Cora to lose her temper of Phoebe who was such a scheming woman.
Since Cora was 10 centimeters taller than Phoebe, also, she wore high heels. She looked down at Phoebe as if she was looking down at her from a distance.
Phoebe swallowed, suddenly being a little nervous, "What do you want to do?"
With a snort of contempt, Cora said, "As for such a man like Jacob, only you are satisfied with him. As for me, I don't have any interests. And he doesn't deserve my love."
Phoebe widened her eyes in shock and was too angry to say anything. "You! You! You! "
"Well, don't think that everyone is the same as you. Let me tell you. There are something you won't have in your life. If you fail to get, don't force it. Don't think you can control everything by playing tricks. Do you think you can get true love by cheating? "
There was a hint of gloom on Cora’s face.
Zoe breathed a sigh of relief. Moreover, since Noah was also present, she didn't believe Phoebe would pull one of her tricks again
Noah stood aside and watched quietly. Yes, it could only be described as watching them. He would not stop them in such a situation, and he would not help anyone. He just silently felt that there was a domineering aura in Cora
"Well, do you think you are better than me? Didn't you marry for money? Since you are so lofty, you shouldn’t have sold yourself for money from the beginning.Do you actually want me to believe you truly love Tristan?You just love the power and affluence that came with him. Now you even reason with me. Mind your own business! Stupid bitch.”Phoebe tried her best to keep calm, but her mind was already suppressed by the imposing manner of Cora.
She was really different from before.Cora was no longer the timid girl she used to be. In the past, she would only dodge, but now she ruthlessly fought back in front of so many people,Phoebe couldn't endure.
What's more, why Corq robbed her of her man? His seven years of youth have been in vain, and she only had Tristan, but Cora still wanted to take him away. She couldn’t let that happen. She would not stop. Even if both sides were hurt, she would let Cora know that she was not to be trifled with.
Cora took another half step forward and lowered her head closely to Phoebe. "Even if I sell myself, my price is higher than yours. I am not like you, you live in a man's house without marriage. You really take yourself as someone important. You're just an actress to amuse everyone."
Phoebe felt a little nervous when she heard what Cora said.
"You!" She was furious. It must be this eloquent woman in front of her who instigated Tristan to leave her.
Phoebe reached out her hand and was about to pull Cora’s hair. Cora dodged quickly. Then Phoebe stretched out her hand and tried to grab again. However, Cora waved her hand to stop her, and Phoebe was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
Phoebe had thought that she would have a chance to talk down on Cora, but what Cora said made her infuriated with hatred.
"You just like this kind of opportunity, don't you? You just want others to push you and hurt you. Let me tell you, since you have such a need, I will give it to you. Don't take advantage on other's kindness to behave shamelessly again and again. I don't want to compete with you at all so respect yourself." Cora had already stood aside.
Unable to stand up, Phoebe looked extremely embarrassed. Today,Cora had her suffer a lot of humiliation.
Tristan heard everything from inside the ward. It was impossible for him not to hear their quarrel in such a loud voice, but he did not say anything.
Noah was also there so he hoped Noah could stop the ladies from fighting.
Phoebe stood up, rushed to Cora and was about to slap her in the face. How she wished she could cut Cora into pieces!
But Phoebe’s raised hand suddenly stopped in the air, and her hand was blocked by a powerful hand.
Phoebe looked at Noah in shock. They had been friends for 7 years, but their friendship was nothing before Cora.
"Let go of me! Let me beat this bitch to death!" Phoebe had no time to care about her image. As soon as she fell to the ground, she had lost it already.
