Chapter 16
This chaos finally came to a temporary halt with Freya fainting.
After a night of rescue. Freya survived, but the baby in her belly did. not make it.
“Bang!”
Beatrice slapped Carter hard across the face and exclaimed, “You are simply foolish!”
If Carter had just endured a little longer, if he had waited a few more months, Freya would have given birth to this child and could have left something for them the Hoffman family.
But he chose to explode the secret on that day, not only causing the Hoffman family to lose their grandson, but also bringing shame to the Hoffman family.
The whole of Los Angeles now knows that the Hoffman family’s youngest son pretended to be his older brother and slept with the widow!
There is no need for anyone from the Spencer family to be involved anymore. The veteran commissar took charge and cut off the relationship between Helen and the Hoffman family.
And because the matter had caused such a big uproar, even Carter’s own position as chief was taken back.
Losing so much in a row, how could Beatrice not be angry!
She immediately raised her hand to slap again.
Carter was like a soulless puppet, no matter how much Beatrice hit or scolded him, it was useless.
Finally, the nurse inside came out to stop them and asked if the patient. inside had woken up, who would go in to see Freya.
Carter finally came to his senses and said in a hoarse voice, “I’ll go in.”
After all, Freya was also unaware of this matter, so he owed her as well, and he would try his best to make it up to her.
Thinking of this, he also ignored Beatrice’s shouting behind him and pushed open the door to Freya’s ward.
The moment the door was closed, the noisy voices outside were also
shut out.
Carter looked up at the bed and saw the woman with a pale face and empty eyes at a glance.
He clenched his hands, lifted his foot and walked towards Freya, then
sat down beside her sickbed.
I’m sorry for this, you can ask for any compensation you want.
Compensation?
After a long time, Freya lying on the sickbed finally reacted. She slowly turned her head to look at him, observing this man with. bloodshot eyes, stubble on his chin, and a disheveled appearance, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
How could he compensate himself?
She longed day and night for her husband to come back, and day and night she made love with her husband, finally becoming pregnant with a child carrying the blood of both of them, filled with joy.
Everything was so beautiful, but he suddenly shattered her beautiful dream, telling her that it was all to spare her the pain of losing her husband, and to make her rely on her children to continue living and striving, a lie specially woven.
Now that the lies have been exposed, she has lost her husband, her children, and her reputation.
Now she has nothing, how can he compensate her.
Freya’s fingers clutching the blanket turned white at the joints, and the sound squeezed out of her throat was like it had been rubbed with sandpaper.
Carter, what you should have done is not to compensate me, but not to shatter this lie.
So that she could continue to indulge in beautiful dreams, to live on, instead of suffering heart–wrenching pain time and time again.
Carter closed his eyes and his voice sounded even weaker: “You, me…
All the words I wanted to say at this moment seemed pale.
The wall clock on the wall ticked quietly, and in the ward, only the sound of two people breathing could be heard.
I don’t know how long it had passed, but Freya finally spoke again. “Is any compensation possible?”
Carter nodded and said, “Yes.”
This time Freya finally smiled, but this time her smile didn’t reach her
eves.
“Okay, I want you to marry me!”
“Bang!”
Carter sprang up from the chair with a bang: “No way!”
He only loved Helen, and she was the only one he recognized as his wife. He would never marry anyone else!
“This is ridiculous, please change it.”
Absurd?
Freya suddenly laughed, her voice full of sarcasm: “Do you think this is ridiculous?”
Why didn’t you think it was ridiculous when you pretended to be your brother and slept with me to have a child? Do you know that because. of you, my reputation has been completely ruined, and I can never get married again in the future! How am I supposed to live after you’ve done this to me!
I told you, Carter, you could only, and must, marry me in this lifetime!
