Wilson nodded. "Okay, I'll tell you."
He cast a glance at Desmond.
Desmond, whose ears were perked up, took the hint.
...
He rolled his eyes at the ceiling, picked up the apple on the floor, and left reluctantly.
The door of the ward was closed.
Only the two of them were left. Wilson took her hand and put it on his palm.
Tina took a deep breath.
She was a little nervous because she had a hunch that what he was going to say next should be a secret.
He remained silent for a while before he slowly said, "Do you remember that we went to Lonton City together? The day before we left, I went to see Kenny and took that thing by mistake."
Tina's pupils constricted.
She wasn't sure if it was what she thought. She looked up at him and got the affirmative answer in his eyes.
Her hands trembled involuntarily.
She had thought of many different reasons, but she had not expected this.
"At first, I felt that something wasn't right with my body, but I didn't take it seriously until I had a car accident in New City." Wilson was a little out of breath. He didn't want to recall those memories. He said painfully, "The addiction attacked me at that time. I was hallucinating, losing my mind, and losing control of my body. When I came to my senses, I had already bumped into a guardrail. Later, Hayden had a doctor examine me. After some tests, the doctor said that I had high levels of toxins in my system."
She remembered that car accident.
She had been terrified at that time.
Fortunately, he hadn't been badly hurt. No wonder Hayden's reaction had been so big when she had suggested taking Wilson to the hospital.
Wilson lowered his voice and continued, "After we returned home, the addiction became more frequent and more severe. I wasn't sure how much longer I could hold on, so I broke up with you..."
Behind the glasses, his eyes were slightly closed, and his emotions went ups and downs.
Breaking up with her was more painful than going through the addiction.
Tina had been listening to him quietly.
The more she listened, the more her heart ached.
Meanwhile, she was very angry with him. She suddenly remembered how Malee had scolded Hayden. She choked with sobs as she yelled at him, "You're such a jerk. Why didn't you tell me earlier? If I knew..."
He sighed. "If you knew, you would never leave me alone."
Then he added, "The last thing I wanted was for you to know. We both know that thing can destroy a person."
She pressed her face against his palms and burst into tears.
She said tearfully, "You were so silly. I would stay with you!"
He wiped her tears. "What about Isla?"
They couldn't only think of themselves.
They were parents. They had to be responsible for their daughter.
"I looked up a lot of materials and videos. All the people addicted to those things ended up miserable." Wilson's eyes were deep and calm.
After a pause, he continued in a low voice, "There's something that very few people know. In fact, besides Desmond and Selene, my uncle and aunt have another child. Selene has a twin brother. When he was young, he was rebellious. He accidentally took that thing in a bar. He was addicted to it and couldn't quit it. In the end, he couldn't bear the pain and jumped into the sea to commit suicide.
"That's why I didn't tell you. If I quit it, then nothing would change. If I couldn't come back, you and Isla would still live a happy life. I had no choice. I wasn't sure if I could succeed."
He thought they would grow old together and would be buried together when they died.
He also thought that he could control himself well. However, when he encountered such a thing, he panicked.
...
He was afraid that he would commit suicide if he couldn't quit it, so he didn't dare to tell her the truth.
Tears streamed down her cheeks.
Wilson smiled lightly, and his eyes glimmered. "After I broke up with you, I went to Lonton City. Hayden found a doctor to help me. Every time I wanted to give up, I thought of you and Isla. I finally got over it."
That was why he told her the truth now.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Even though he didn't mention how difficult the process had been, she knew he must have suffered a lot in the past few months. Otherwise, he wouldn't return to her side as if nothing had happened.
She knew that if he had failed, he wouldn't have come back.
She stood up and threw herself into his arms.
She landed a punch on his chest. Her heart ached, and she was frightened.
Her eyes were swollen from crying.
Seeing the sadness in her eyes, he felt warm yet bitter. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry. It's all my fault."
She grabbed his shoulders and buried her head in his arms. "Promise me, if something like this happens again, you can't keep it from me. Otherwise, I will never forgive you!"
She threatened him.
He answered, "Okay, I promise you."
Although he said so, he knew he would do the same thing if something like that happened again.
And he knew she would forgive him as she had this time.
But the fact that she had married Amin was beyond his wildest expectations.
He held her face and kissed her tears. His lips slowly moved to hers.
He missed her so much that he kissed her passionately.
...
Tina wrapped her arms around his neck and responded to his kiss.
They didn't stop kissing until both of them were out of breath.
She leaned against his chest and explained. "I agreed to marry Amin because I couldn't bear to see the Amery family in trouble. Besides, I wanted to punish you for breaking up with me and abandoning me."
Even though everything he did was to protect her, he shouldn't have left her.
...
Wilson nodded. He deserved it.
Thinking of something, she frowned and asked, "What's going on with Abby? After you left, she was transferred to New City." NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
He quickly said, "I haven't seen her."
"Okay." She smiled with satisfaction.
She asked no further questions.
He picked her up, pressed her on the bed, and kissed her again.
However, her phone rang at this time, interrupting the kiss.
