Chapter 23
Despite Lorenzo’s insistence on death, Noel and Andrew still refused to let Hillary pass.
Because Lorenzo had already gone crazy enough to strap explosives to himself, it was clear that his mental state was not normal. What if he decided to take Hillary down with him in a suicide pact?
It was too dangerous!
“If he had detonated the explosives here, at such a close distance, I’m sure I wouldn’t have survived, Hillary said. “And it would have also resulted in everyone else and me perishing together.
“Dad, Noel, let me go. Lorenzo has done a lot of wrong things, but he has always been a man of his word. Since he said that as long as I go over, he won’t detonate the bomb, he will definitely keep his word.”
Hillary insisted on going past, and Noel and Andrew had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
But they requested that Lorenzo and Hillary stay within their sight at all times and not wander off.
“Sure. Lorenzo agreed without hesitation.”
Later, he took Hillary to the top floor of the hotel.
The strong wind was howling, Lorenzo stood on the edge of the rooftop, looking at Hillary with a sad expression on his face. As he looked at her, tears suddenly started to flow down his cheeks.
“Hillary, Lorenzo said, “How I wish I had met you earlier.“”

“I actually loved you, Lorenzo said, tears streaming down his face. “You were like a ray of light shining into my dark and hopeless life.”
“But I couldn’t bear to betray Kellie. I thought since she came first, I should love her well. No matter how good you are, I can’t betray her. I have to put her first in everything. I have to treat her as my whole world. This is true love until death.”
‘But I didn’t expect that she was actually a fraud… I was really too foolish… There is no bigger fool in the world than me…”
Upon hearing this, Hillary couldn’t help but sigh, “Lorenzo, at this point, no matter how much you say, it’s useless.”
“I used to love you, but that love has been worn away by your betrayal and indifference. Now, I have no feelings for you.”
“I hope you don’t bother me anymore. Let’s part on good terms and leave each other some dignity.”
Upon hearing this, Lorenzo gave a bitter smile and choked out, “Hillary, don’t worry, I won’t bother you.”
“I just wanted to talk to you one last time before I leave.‘

“Unlike several other childhood fiancés, they all had parents, but I did not. I had never seen my own parents since birth.”
“I had no family either, and not many friends around me. My whole world, once, was just Kellie.”
“Later, you walked in and took me back home. Although I never said it, I really considered you and Mr. Sutton as family.”

If… If it weren’t for Kellie, I think we would have had a completely different outcome.”
“Hillary, have you ever heard of the theory of parallel universes? Perhaps in another timeline, there is no obstacle like Kellie between us, and you would be my only salvation. I would also love you as if you were the
whole world.”
“We… we could have had such an ending…
It’s just a pity that all of this was just if.
In reality, they were left with only the things, while the people had changed.
“Hillary, did you ever love me, right? Lorenzo asked urgently, as if seeking confirmation.”
Hillary fell silent for a moment, but eventually nodded, “I once considered you my whole world too.”
Upon hearing this, Lorenzo finally smiled. His smile was no longer filled with despair, but with acceptance and contentment.
“I am honored to have been loved by you, Lorenzo said. “It’s just a pity that I realized it too late and missed you.“”
“If there is another life, I hope I will still have the chance to love you.”
After saying these words, Lorenzo suddenly hugged Hillary and then kissed her on the head.
