A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 815 Being Free

In the mortuary of the hospital, they met Ernie.

He was standing outside the mortuary; his whole body was filled with indifference. Standing there, he was motionless, just like a sculpture. The sun shone from one side, but it was unable to melt the coldness around him.

Aiden was sitting on the floor outside the gate of the mortuary, while Kasper was standing beside him.

It could be seen that Aiden was really broken-hearted. He was sitting on the ground at the moment, haggard. He looks ten years older than he was before, mumbling to himself, "She’s gone..."

"Miriam!" Kasper called, seeing Miriam and Sylvie come.

When Aiden heard the voice, he raised his head and looked at his wife walking slowly towards them step by step. Indifference came out of his deep eyes, with hatred. He said, "You are satisfied! She's dead! You are all satisfied!"

Aiden's words were like a knife, cutting in her heart. She sneered, "Aiden! Don’t slander me! I'm not satisfied! Even if you die, you should go to hell.”

She looked at him coldly with a condescending attitude. His eyes were full of determination. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Aiden's eyes were as sharp as arrows.

They stared at each other, showing the slightest concession. She looked at Aiden with sharp eyes and said with a sneer, “Sooner or later you will have to pay for what you’ve done."

Aiden slowly opened his mouth, restrained the shaking of his voice, and said angrily, "Since when you become so harsh? Miriam, you really let me down.”

Hearing his words, Miriam said sarcastically, "Aiden, what qualification do you have to be disappointed? It took me 30 years to see you clearly. How do you understand my disappointment and despair? Evie ended up like this, which you guys brought this on yourself. Aiden, I don't owe you or her. You owe me. Your whole family owes me! Who should pay for my 30 years of youth? I do everything with a clear conscience. I feel sorry for Evie, but I’m not guilty! What does it have to do with me? Aiden, since you can’t bear to leave her, why don't you die with her? It would be a beautiful story. It also shows that you are affectionate. How come you are still alive after she died, or your love is not true at all?"

Aiden shivered and fell back to the wall. He slid down the wall slowly. No language could describe the sadness and despair in his eyes. The hatred in his eyes disappeared and dullness filled it.

"Aiden, it took me 30 years to recognize your selfishness and the selfishness of the Hughes family." Her eyes turned from Aiden's face to Kasper, and then he looked at Ernie. She said, "This tragedy has been made clear from the beginning. Maybe I won't hold a grudge if you made it clear before. But you’re going too far. I was wondering why Ernie keep pestering Sylvie? It turns out that he learned from Aiden? Like father, like son. That's true."

"Miriam, that's enough!" Kasper said, "Easy!"

"Kasper, I'm not you. I have a clear conscience. You told me to forgive others. For 30 years, you played me like a monkey. I feel sick. Now you ask me to forgive others. Why didn't you forgive me? Today, Evie died. That's the way she chose. She is not responsible for her life. Do you want me to die today? Hehe, I'm really sorry, I’m the last one to commit suicide in this world. Kasper, Aiden, what do you do for Hughes family is your business. I'm not guilty. You should feel guilty for me. I'll fight one by one and never give in. Aiden, I’ll see you in court!"

What else was more desperate than this in life? The man she had been in love with for 30 years was a two-timer. She and Evie had always shared Aiden. How ridiculous it was?

"Miriam!" Ernie suddenly said.

Miriam was stunned, and then sneered, "Ernie, isn’t it ridiculous you call me aunt?"

Ernie looked up, and his eyes were empty and lonely.

"She is dead. Please do not be too hard!" Ernie, such a raffish man, said in a begged tone. He fixed his eyes on her and said, "Don’t worry. I won’t compete for Hughes Group with Marley. I didn't want to fight in the first place. What I wanted was a dirty enterprise like Hughes Group to disappear from the world. You feel dirty. I feel the same as you. I respect you because my mother is sorry for you, but please let it go given that she is dead! Don’t make a scene here! This is my only request! "

He did say too much, but he was very sincere, Miriam looked at him without replaying him. Ernie's words still shocked her. Associating with a series of events, she knew that what Ernie said was from the bottom of his heart.

Sylvie looked at Ernie from afar. His eyes turned from his face to Sylvie. She was stunned and then stared at Sylvie, motionless. Sylvie could see the loneliness and chagrin in his eyes!

She was also regretful for what she said in the morning. If she had known Evie would kill herself, she would say nothing!

As for Ernie, he might be also regretful. Evie was his mother after all, no matter how much he hated.

She seemed to understand the tangled emotions of Ernie, like her mood for Sadie. At this time, facing Ernie's eyes, she felt so easily sad that she grasped her heart and made her hardly breathe.

Ernie stood up and walked out, and did not ask for anyone more. His figure was lonely.

He came to her side, and she saw that Ernie’s face was getting pale and his mild eyes were deep and unpredictable. She stared at him for a few seconds, and he looked down and said, "Don't blame

yourself. It has nothing to do with you. It's me who forced her to kill herself!"

Sylvie was shocked that he could see through her easily.

As they walked past each other, Ernie stooped. Sylvie turned around and followed him a few steps. "Ernie!"

When he came to the corner, Ernie stopped and Sylvie came to him. For a long time, she said, "I’m sorry for your loss! I'm sorry for what I said in the morning!"

"It's not about you!" Ernie lowered his head and said softly, "It’s fine. She was free!"

Sylvie, who was silent, felt guilty hearing his words. “If I didn't blame her, she may not have done that!"

After a while, Ernie looked up at her with complicated eyes. He said slowly, "Sylvie, you don't need to blame yourself. She chose to take such a way and should accept the accusations of others. Besides, the person she hurt is your mother-in-law, and your husband. I know what you think. You just hope that the person you love will not be hurt. But I just want peace in my heart. After all, she was selfish. She put me through by choosing to kill herself. In any case, I can not forgive her. Because she was really selfish all the time! "

Sylvie looked up and saw the sadness in Ernie’s eyes. She said, biting the lips, "Ernie, don't think too much. I’m sorry for your loss."

She spoke softly, and her tone was full of concern.

Ernie opened his eyes as a self-mockery emotion flashed by his eyes. “I don't feel sad or distressed. For a person like her, her death is a relief to me!"

She knew that he was being stubborn. After all, she was his mother. How could he not care? He was clearly guilty and sad, but he still pretended to be cool. She sighed, not knowing how to comfort him!

But she felt he was like her, who hated her mother on the surface, but they couldn’t show any emotion when something happened to their mother, which was so-called blood relatives. Sometimes we could not know what we had until it was gone.

"Will dad take it too hard?" Sylvie paused for a long time and asked a question.

Ernie's eyes once changed again. He fixed his eyes on her for a while, and their eyes met in the air.

Would Aiden take it too hard?

Miriam just stimulated Aiden. No matter what, that man was the father of Marley and Ernie. What if he took things too hard?

Ernie was stunned for a long time. For some time, he closes his eyes and covered fragility in his eyes. He said, "I don't know!"

"I'll tell him!" Sylvie said, "I won't let him take that step!"

"Sylvie!" Ernie grabbed her by the wrist.

Sylvie was stunned, seeing Ernie's eyes which were full of affection. Her heart trembled and she said, "Let go, Ernie."

Ernie suddenly said, "I’ll talk to him. Thank you for your kindness, Sylvie. Don't worry, I'm not Aiden. Although I want to have you very much, I'm not shameless! I’m glad you are happy! Sylvie, can I hold you again?"

There was hope and sadness in his eyes, which was an invisible expression hidden behind the deep.

Sylvie's eyes moved. After all, she didn't refuse. She hesitated for a long time and nodded.

Ernie grabbed her hand, pulled her into his arms, rested his chin on her shoulder. The hug gave him a lot of strength, and he whispered in her ear, "Sylvie, thank you! That's enough! Be happy.”

"Ernie, forget everything before today and start a new life! Don't blame yourself, and don't blame others, OK?" she spoke softly, too.

"Alright!" he readily agreed.

"You are Marley's brother, which means you are my brother. Whether you and Marley admit it or not, you all have half of the same blood. Ernie, you will be happy!"

For a long time, Ernie choked, "Well! You too, Sylvie!"

Sylvie was relieved, thinking that at this point, they could really just be friends, and they were family, which could be the best for them!

However, on the stairs, Marley stood there, watching them embrace each other from a distance. His eyes were full of complexity, and he looked at them at the corner from a distance. It was not until Sylvie opened her eyes and wanted to push Ernie away that she saw Marley standing on the stairs. She was stunned and hurriedly broke away from Ernie. Facing Marley's cold eyes, Sylvie felt uneasy.
