My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 95

I guess it'd be fine if I died, I thought. Then, I can return the kidney to Quinn. But I can't bring myself to leave this world just yet—my life has just started to improve. The traffic police took my car and told me to call a family member. For some reason, Shawn was the first person who popped up in my mind. I ended up calling him.

"Where are you, Sunny?" I mumbled into the phone.

"What is it?" he asked in his usual, cold tone.

"The police stopped me on the road," I explained.

The traffic police seemed somewhat amused when he led me to Shawn after he arrived. "She can't hold her liquor. She keeps clinging to me and talking nonsense."

Shawn took me from the police's arms and pulled me close to his chest. I was in a daze, but I could feel my face turning red as I gazed at him. I hung my arms around his neck before pressing my face against the curve between his neck and shoulder. The man's body stiffened, but he didn't push me away.

He brought me back to the condominium. It was said that alcohol was liquid courage—I was somehow brave enough to stick to Shawn while rubbing my skin against his. My body grew warmer as our skin touched, and I could feel his body stiffening.

The very next moment, I found myself being thrown into the bathtub. Then, cold water splashed all overBelongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

my body. I sat dumbfoundedly in the bathtub as I heard an icy voice speaking to me. "I think someone must have spiked your drink. Stay still. You'll feel better after sitting in the tub for a while," he said.

My body was burning hot, and I didn't want to hold myself back at all. I reached over with my arms to hug him, but he insisted on keeping some distance from me. There were beads of sweat on his forehead and his shirt was starting to get wet as well. This only made him seem more seductive than ever. I felt extremely horrible inside—there was an urge in me to reach out and hug the man's firm body, yet he kept a far distance away from me.

I couldn't tolerate the burning passion within me—I ached for the man. "Please save me, Sunny. Give it to me… Please?" I uttered in a sweet tone. He acted as if he couldn't hear me, so I took the opportunity to hug him while he wasn't paying attention. A cooling sensation spread across my body upon touching his skin. Right as I thought things were about to go my way, I felt my head being shoved into the ice- cold water. The water shot up my nose, and I choked and coughed the moment I stuck my head out of the water.

I looked like a complete mess, but that wasn't the main point. What mattered more was that I felt like a mess. I had never thought that it'd be so hard to have sex when I wanted it so desperately. I never had a man reject me so many times. "I don't feel too good," I whined.

"Hmm?" he muttered.

"I don't feel too good, Sunny. I feel bad both physically and emotionally. Can you just give yourself to me? Don't worry. This is all consensual. I'm not going to bother you after this! You can just treat this as charity. I won't remember this tomorrow," I whined.

He didn't utter a single word.

"Sunny…" I wailed.

"Shut up." The man's voice was as firm as a rock. I held onto his collar miserably, and I stayed in the tub for a long while before I finally returned to my senses. By the time I had the strength to move, Shawn had already left the condominium. He had left without leaving a mark.

I lay on the bed and looked at the lights hanging from my ceiling. My gaze was soulless. I hadn't expected myself to stoop so low in life, and I never expected Shawn to be so firm about his decision. When I thought about how he had shoved my head into the tub, I felt a sense of anger filling my insides.

It was almost as if I wasn't attractive to him at all. This was an utter insult to my pride as a woman. But after I got past that, I felt rather thankful. I was glad that he hadn't agreed to my ridiculous requests—I wouldn't have known how to face him in the future otherwise. I lay on the bed while calming myself down. I truly felt like I was the unluckiest person ever —I was drugged by someone the one time I decided to go to the bar.

After letting out a long sigh, I crawled out of bed and put on my clothes before I slowly drove to the hospital. I was dreading the hospital as I didn't dare to confront Quinn. However, I had to take responsibility for her matters in the end. When I got to the hospital, I saw her in a deep sleep. She looked extremely ill, and the doctor said that she would only live a maximum of two months if they didn't manage to find her a donor. This was an extremely short amount of time, and complete success wasn't promised even if she managed to undergo surgery.

Quinn looked like a wilting flower. She reminded me of what I was like when I peacefully awaited my

death. Just this thought made me feel extremely uncomfortable. After hesitating for a while, I gave Waylen a call. Waylen was shocked to receive my call. "Can the Xenos Family help me find a kidney donor?" I asked in a hopeful tone.

"What do you mean, Miss Felix?" he asked me.

"My friend is sick, and the doctor said that she can only survive for another one to two months. She needs a new kidney," I explained.

"Are you talking about Quinn?" he asked in a quiet voice.

"How did you know?" I was shocked.

Waylen explained himself in a calm tone. "Two months ago, when you were in a coma, both Quinn and Nicholas came to me claiming that they had medication to give me. Back then, you said that you didn't need her medication and Mr. Xenos left orders not to use their medication, so we didn't take it in the end. However, we did our research on Quinn's teacher, and we managed to find the right medication to save you after that."

I was surprised to hear that they had gone to Eldham to meet Waylen. Does that mean that Nicholas and Shawn have met each other? I didn't ask Waylen this question as I felt like it was none of my business. "Can you find a suitable kidney for her?" I asked instead. I had to clear my debts with Quinn, but I also had to ensure that I wouldn't risk my life while doing it.

"I'll get someone to find it," Waylen replied.

I still wasn't sure if I would manage to find a suitable kidney for Quinn, but I figured that there'd be a

greater chance of success if both the Felix and Xenos Families looked for it together. I initially thought of asking Merlin and Clair about it, but I decided not to bother them in the end.

After ending the call, I saw that Leon had come back to the hospital. "Were you here since last night?" he asked when he saw me.

"I've changed my clothes," I uttered. He lowered his gaze to take a look at what I was wearing before he slumped into one of the seats on the bench by the corridor. "That woman's in Bryxton now," he said. He was referring to the woman that looked like Quinn.

"Are you going to mend things with her?" I asked.

"No." He shook his head. After pausing for a while, he opened up a little more. "I already made things clear when I first got together with her. I told her that I only saw her as someone else. She was just a form of consolation to me. I could give her everything—even my life, but I can't give her love," he said. He can give her anything but love… That was the most hurtful sentence I'd ever heard.

That woman reminded me of myself. She had given her all for the sake of loving someone, yet she didn't get anything in return. "Where is she staying in Bryxton?" I asked Leon. "I don't know. I think she's from Sundew," he said.

"Did she follow you all the way into the city?" I was shocked.

"Yeah. She said she was willing to follow me anywhere," he said. I kept quiet after that—I no longer wanted to know anything more. Leon was worried about Quinn, so he no longer continued the topic. He seemed really drained, so I checked up on him. "Do you have enough cash?"

"No." He was surprisingly straightforward.

"Well—"

Before I could form a sentence, he interrupted me. "You don't have to worry about me. I'm planning to buy a house in the city, and I'll stay in Bryxton to take care of Quinn from now on." Leon loved Quinn, but I didn't know how much he loved her. I stayed in the hospital and waited for Quinn to wake up before I left. I was still troubled by this matter even after I got to the office.

Sometime in the afternoon, I realized how I had forgotten to speak to Shawn about Kevin. Technically, I did try to resolve the situation, but I wasn't sure if Shawn would still send Kevin abroad. The point was that Kevin hadn't contacted me that day. I was just thinking about how Kevin didn't call me when I received a text from him. 'Did you talk to Sunny about the incident I told you about yesterday?' he asked.

'Yeah,' I replied.

'Then, why did he come home with a glum look on his face? He was silent the whole time, and I've been waiting in fear for a really long time,' he texted. Could I have been the one who made him mad this morning?

'Isn't he always like that?' I asked Kevin.

'Definitely not. I know Sunny well. He may look cold and distant all the time, but he's definitely more hostile today,' Kevin replied.

'How do you know he's being more hostile?' I asked.

'He told me to work overtime even though today's my mother's 60th birthday celebration!' Kevin wailed. I fell silent as I thought, I'm pretty sure that Shawn is mad about what happened this morning. After that, I no longer dared to reply to Kevin's texts. Instead, I put my phone aside. It was sometime in the evening when I left the office. Before I left, I ordered my assistant to come up with a plan on how to destroy the Yates Family.

Once I got home, Florence gave me a call. "Do you want to go on a trip to Sundew tomorrow, Renee?" she asked with a smile.

"What's with the sudden trip?" I asked puzzledly.

"I just returned to the country," she explained. "Your brother was the one who brought me home. He got me all soft-hearted again. I had no choice but to forgive him. He had changed a lot in the past two years, after all. It's all my fault that I hadn't allowed myself to get close to him," she said.

Florence had unresolved issues with Clair, yet she chose to be with him. She made this decision without thinking it through, so she had been hot and cold toward him for the past few years. This made Clair feel like she was a heartless woman.

"Clair's a nice guy, but he makes mistakes sometimes. He's still a reliable man, and he's definitely a good partner," I said with a smile.

She questioned me in return. "Why isn't Nicholas a good man, then? He made mistakes, but his only mistake seemed to be wanting you to live a good life," she uttered.

She wasn't wrong. However, I couldn't bring myself to forgive him.

"He needs a child, Florence," I replied. She no longer discussed this matter after that. Instead, she repeated her question about traveling to Sundew again.

"What should I do in Sundew?" I asked.

"Your brother wants to apologize to you," she explained.

"Sure. I'll be there around noon tomorrow." After ending the call, I received a text from my assistant. 'The Yates Family will work closely with the Gant Family soon, President Felix. This will be one of Yates Family's largest partnerships in the second half of the year. They have prepared a large sum in hand, and the partnership will be confirmed once the contract is signed. I heard that they'll be going through the full plan the day after tomorrow. If we find a way to stop their partnership, it's going to cause a huge impact on the Yates Corporation.'

The Gant Family was in Sundew, and I happened to be going to Sundew the next day. "Prepare yourself to head to Sundew tomorrow," I said to my assistant over the phone. It wasn't going to be easy to get the Gant Family to not sign the contract unless we had a more tempting offer. I figured that I would plan that out after understanding the contents of their contract.

"There's one other thing," the assistant said.

"What is it?" I asked him.

"We found a kidney donor that is suitable. You know the person too, President Felix."

"Who is it?" I asked in surprise.
