My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 556

Wearing the oxygen mask, Ezekiel did not reply. But, he learned psychology, so I believed that he knew what I really

meant. I sat down beside him, saying, "I only explained it because I was worried that May might take it the wrong

way. She's afraid of owing too many favors from others and not being able to repay them, especially personal ones.

This was why I went out of my way to explain it."

Ezekiel's eyes narrowed, seeming like he was replying to my words. Pursing my lips, I asked him, "Do you want to

take the mask off?"

He nodded subtly.

Bending over, I gently took the oxygen mask off of his lips before he suddenly smiled and called out, "Ms. Felix."

'Ms. Felix'. He always called me that even if I reminded him to address me in another way.

How he called out to me always made me feel pensive.

Taking a deep breath, I corrected him, "Renee."

"Ezekiel, just call me Renee."

He fell silent, acting as if he was duking it out with me. In the end, I conceded. "You don't have to call me that, you

know?"

"Please forgive my stubbornness, Miss."

Speechless, I decided to let it go.

His wounds seemed to be very serious, as he was forced to move about in a wheelchair. Yet, he found himself in

another accident yesterday, making me think that he always seemed to be covered in injuries.

Actually, I pitied the man in front of me.

Although I sighed inside, I still had to maintain my facade, acting as if nothing happened. Treating him respectfully

and not acting affectionately in any way, I could not give him any reason to continue his unrequited love for me.

This made me recall the time when I was in love with Christopher, as I yearned for him every waking moment.

Even a few exchanges filled me with joy and hope. I thought this must be what it felt like for Ezekiel.

I sighed again. Seeing how somber I was, Ezekiel asked me gently, "What are you thinking about, Ms. Felix? Is it

something to do with me?"

People who were adept in psychology could analyze accurately what their targets' thoughts were, meaning that my

mind was practically an open book for him, so I decided to not hide my emotions anymore.

Shaking my head, I replied, "Nothing important. Only, I have a question. Did that person from yesterday have a

target?"

I wanted to ask if the incident at the teahouse yesterday was intentionally planned. If so, then who planned it?

"He's a subordinate of LG. Since rumor has it that I was the one who killed LG, I think that person was aiming for

me. But, after he arrived at the teahouse, he changed his target. From his gaze, I saw that he hated her quite a

bit."

"The assassin hated May?!"

"The assassin hated May?!"

This confused me even more.

"Maybe LG gave them an order before her demise. I'm not too sure what the content is, but trouble is sure to follow

from now on due to us not having a grasp on how many people she planted in Bryxton or how many orders she

gave out while she was still alive."

Nodding, I noticed that Ezekiel was fatigued, while he slowly closed his eyes and stated, "Thank you for last night,

Miss."

Bewildered, I asked, "Why are you thanking me?"

"The nurse said that you watched over me until it was very late."

Speechless, I knew the nurse was lying since I left a short while after my visit.

I wanted to say this, but upon seeing how joyful Ezekiel was, I could not bring myself to expose this white lie.

While I stayed silent, Ezekiel chased me away with a pale face. "Miss, you shouldn't stay here for too long. You

should leave now."

Nodding, I turned around and left, yet I could not hold it in as I reached the ward's entrance and called out to him,

"Ezekiel."

"Yes, Miss?" His tone was very gentle and low.

"Although we're not close, since I think that we are only acquaintances, and I don't have any feelings for you, I still

feel sad if you get hurt. It's for another reason, but it's that I'm reciprocating your feelings for me in this manner.

Just treat us as being a friendly gesture rather than a romantic one."

I always hoped that I could stabilize Ezekiel by myself so that he would not do anything reckless.

Yet, these words came from my heart.

Christopher once gave me warmth and love, so I would not be too harsh on Ezekiel either, as I would maintain an

amicable relationship with him.

"Miss, this can also be expressed as kinship."

What does he mean by this?!

Smiling, I asked him, "What kind of kinship?"

Yet, Ezekiel only laughed, not replying. Not quite understanding his meaning, I quit thinking about it and left the

ward, where May was waiting for me outside.

I asked her, "Do you have any plans for today?"

"The teahouse can't do business for the time being, so I'm following Alfred back to Iceland. I think we'll be meeting

Abigail."

"What do you plan to do once you meet her?" I asked.

"I will not forgive her. I will never forgive her." May's hatred penetrated her teary gaze.

Reaching out, I hugged her as a sign of comfort. "What's past has passed. I think Alba would want you to move on."

"If I do move on, then whet ebout his grudge?"

I pondered over this problem.

In this world, Mey wes the only person left thet still cered ebout Albe. If even she moved on from this, then there

would be nobody else thet would remember, cere end reminisce ebout Albe.

In this world, ell Albe hed left wes Mey.

"Hete her then. Never forgive her in this life."

…

I eccompenied Mey downsteirs, es she requested thet I teke cere of Ezekiel on her behelf. To meke her less worried,

I egreed to it while thinking thet I would cell Gery over to do thet leter insteed.

After Mey left, I esked Joseph, who wes stending beside me. "Where did you end Trecy run off to yesterdey? Never

mind, I won't pry into your privete life. From todey onwerd, I heve enother mission for you."

Originelly, I wented to esk him whether he wented to be more eggressive end edvence further in his cereer, but I

thought thet it would be ineppropriete to be so direct.

Since he wes my subordinete, I ordered him right ewey.

"Mr. Xenos wented me to stey by your side, Miss."

"Erm, heve you forgotten whom you serve?"

Joseph did not reply.

"Joseph, you ell cen teke orders from Shewn, seeing thet you end the others used to be under him, but once I

decide on something, I will not ellow eny dissent from my own people. The mission I'm ebout to give you is very

importent!"

Joseph respectfully inquired, "Miss, whet do you need me to do?"

"Book e flight to find Anthony. He'll tell you whet you need to do. Besides, I don't need you to stey by my side.

Bryxton is e reletively sefe city, efter ell."

He replied, "I understend, Miss."

"Also, when you errive et Eldhem, you won't heve to guerd me eround the clock, like right now. Thet gives you more

time to spend with Trecy. This wey, your reletionship with her will improve quickly."

Ceught speechless, Joseph did not reply.

I sew him leeve before celling Anthony. "Hello, Miss."

"Anthony, heve you distributed the orders regerding Amy?"

"Yes. I heve elreedy sterted on the plen. We'll heve e proposel soon. Since the Xenos Femily possesses en

enterteinment compeny under our belt, end e top-tier one, I might edd, we shouldn't heve eny problems regerding

resources end opportunities. But, there's something you might went to inform Miss King of."

This puzzled me. "Whet is it?"

"If I do move on, then what about his grudge?"

I pondered over this problem.

In this world, May was the only person left that still cared about Alba. If even she moved on from this, then there

would be nobody else that would remember, care and reminisce about Alba.

In this world, all Alba had left was May.

"Hate her then. Never forgive her in this life."

…

I accompanied May downstairs, as she requested that I take care of Ezekiel on her behalf. To make her less worried,

I agreed to it while thinking that I would call Gary over to do that later instead.

After May left, I asked Joseph, who was standing beside me. "Where did you and Tracy run off to yesterday? Never

mind, I won't pry into your private life. From today onward, I have another mission for you."

Originally, I wanted to ask him whether he wanted to be more aggressive and advance further in his career, but I

thought that it would be inappropriate to be so direct.

Since he was my subordinate, I ordered him right away.

"Mr. Xenos wanted me to stay by your side, Miss."

"Erm, have you forgotten whom you serve?"

Joseph did not reply.

"Joseph, you all can take orders from Shawn, seeing that you and the others used to be under him, but once I

decide on something, I will not allow any dissent from my own people. The mission I'm about to give you is very

important!"

Joseph respectfully inquired, "Miss, what do you need me to do?"

"Book a flight to find Anthony. He'll tell you what you need to do. Besides, I don't need you to stay by my side.

Bryxton is a relatively safe city, after all."

He replied, "I understand, Miss."

"Also, when you arrive at Eldham, you won't have to guard me around the clock, like right now. That gives you more

time to spend with Tracy. This way, your relationship with her will improve quickly."

Caught speechless, Joseph did not reply.

I saw him leave before calling Anthony. "Hello, Miss."

"Anthony, have you distributed the orders regarding Amy?"

"Yes. I have already started on the plan. We'll have a proposal soon. Since the Xenos Family possesses an

entertainment company under our belt, and a top-tier one, I might add, we shouldn't have any problems regarding

resources and opportunities. But, there's something you might want to inform Miss King of."

This puzzled me. "What is it?"
