CHAPTER 306: CHAPTER 306: SO THIS IS HOW MUCH IT HURTS

"I said that day, I can use other ways to compensate." Julian Lawson said angrily.

"How do you want to compensate?" Vera Hansen shouted, "Brother Julian, I want to be with you."

"Not just for half a year, I want us to get married, have children, and grow old together."

"I want us to be together forever! In this lifetime, I want us to be together!"

Vera Hansen’s voice echoed through the entire hospital room.

"Hehehe..."

Julian Lawson laughed quietly.

He looked at Vera Hansen.

So this is Vera Hansen’s true nature.

A threat, greed, unscrupulous desire.

Stupid.

How could he be so stupid?

"Vera, if not for you replacing Serena to attend that appointment." His voice was hoarse, each word chilled to the bone, "I would have killed you right now!"

Vera Hansen immediately said, "Julian Lawson, you can’t do this!"

"I can." Julian Lawson said.

At worst, we’ll die together.

If there were no Serena, how would he go through the latter part of his life?

"Spare me, Julian Lawson, spare me!" Vera Hansen looked at Julian Lawson’s terrifying eyes, panicking, "Remember what you owe me, you have to repay it! If you don’t, I’ll find Serena, and make her repay it!"

But Julian Lawson said nothing.

He just looked at Vera Hansen.

As if wanting to memorize this expression of Vera Hansen.

Julian Lawson took out his phone, Jude Chaucer called.

Jude Chaucer immediately came in.

"President Lawson." Jude Chaucer said.

Julian Lawson pointed to Vera Hansen beside him, "Let her know the cost of deceiving me!"

Jude Chaucer understood his meaning.

"No, don’t!" Vera Hansen shouted.

Vera Hansen wanted to say something more.

But she realized if she spoke, it would expose what happened a year ago.

If Julian Lawson knew that the "accident" a year ago was also her design...

Vera Hansen shrank back.

He felt he owed her, even if it was paying the price, it was just some price, it wouldn’t be too miserable.

Serena is already with Silas Hawthorne, she might still have some way to change her fate later.

But if it’s known that everything was her design, then she’s finished.

She still has a chance.

She can still redeem it!

Thinking this, Vera Hansen didn’t say anything, just struggled and screamed.

And Julian Lawson had already turned around, leaving the hospital room step by step.

His leg hasn’t healed yet.

Walking out in the corridor at this moment, pain surged through his leg, as if every step was taken on the tip of a knife.

But he seemed to feel nothing.

He walked all the way, the assistant following behind with a wheelchair, not daring to utter a sound.

Until he reached a junction.

Julian Lawson looked up at the cold white lights in the corridor.

He saw, Serena being placed on a moving stretcher, covered in blood.

What was she thinking at that time?

Was she also looking at these cold white lamps like him?

Heh...

Julian Lawson laughed, a miserable laugh.

Beside him was a safety passage.

At this moment, the pitch-black safety passage only had a faint green glow from the emergency exit sign.

It looked very frightening.

Like a giant beast with its mouth wide open, ready to swallow him.

Julian Lawson looked at the safety passage door, he reached out, pushed the door open, and walked in step by step.

Engulfed by darkness.

He reached a platform.

Looking down at the pitch-black, empty stairwell, his mind seemed to flash back to the scene in Aeston First Hospital’s stairway.

Back then, it was all very chaotic.

By the time he realized she had rolled down, it was too late.

His last sight was his unretracted hand.

He was the one who pushed her.

Vera Hansen was right.

He did it.

He personally killed their child, he took away half her life.

"Heh..."

Julian Lawson laughed, tears streaming down.

His laughter expanded, echoing through the entire stairwell.

At this moment, he seemed vulnerable.

He laughed heartily, sleep-deprived, with no food or drink, and the pain in his leg making him dizzy.

Suddenly, his vision went black.

He lost his balance and fell straight down the stairs.

"President Lawson!" The assistant who had been following immediately rushed over to catch him.

But just like when Serena rolled down the stairs before.

The assistant didn’t catch Julian Lawson either.

Julian Lawson tumbled down.

Rolled down a whole floor, tumbling to the next platform, until his back hit the wall, finally stopping him.

"President Lawson!" The assistant’s panicked voice rang out, lighting up the sensor lamps in the stairwell.

Julian Lawson looked at a certain point on the stairway floor, feeling pain all over his body.

He laughed bitterly.

It turned out to be so painful.

His whole body felt broken.

What about her?

Wasn’t she the same back then?

Perhaps not.

She had already been in a car accident then.

And...

She was still carrying their child at that time.

Julian Lawson cried and laughed, like a madman.

Laughing till the end, he vomited a large mouthful of blood and then completely fainted.

"President Lawson!"

The assistant was truly panicked.

"President Lawson, please don’t scare me!"

If Julian Lawson had an accident while under his care, what would he do afterward?

The assistant immediately called and asked Jude Chaucer to come.

In the hospital, there was a scramble, people coming and going.

Everyone worked together to lift Julian Lawson onto a stretcher, and he was urgently sent to the emergency room.

...

On the other side.

Hawthorne Manor.

Everyone had finished dinner.

Now they were chatting, enjoying each other’s company.

Especially with Justin Jennings and Bianca Lynch, everyone was asking about their relationship and their plans.

Seraphina listened while holding a kitten.

Serena watched all of this and felt very warm.

If life could always be like this, it would be wonderful.

"Serena, come out with me for a moment." Silas Hawthorne suddenly spoke at this moment.

Serena looked up at him, "Where to?"

"Come with me, you’ll find out soon." Silas Hawthorne said gently.

Serena nodded, said a word to the others, and then went out with Silas Hawthorne.

They first took a shuttle and came to the lakeside.

"Come." Silas Hawthorne said, opening his large palm in front of her.

Serena looked, smiled, and reached out placing her hand in his palm.

Silas Hawthorne held her hand, his palm warm and dry.

"Come." Silas Hawthorne said, "Watch your step."

Serena carefully followed Silas Hawthorne onto a small boat.

Once seated, the boat started, and they traveled leisurely toward the center of the lake.

The breeze lightly stirred across the lake.

Serena watched curiously at everything, not knowing where Silas Hawthorne was taking her.

The slanting sun slowly descended on the horizon, as Serena stayed by Silas Hawthorne’s side, floating on the lake.

Finally, after about ten minutes, they reached a platform in the center of the lake.

And then, Serena saw.
