Destined to Love You

Chapter 134 Only You Can Bully Others

In the hospital.

Angelia woke up again but found herself in the hospital bed.

She rushed to sit up as soon as she opened her eyes.

Seeing her awake, the nurse who was adjusting her IV bottle hurriedly asked her to lie down.

"Mrs. Miller, you can't get up yet. You should rest for a while longer."

Angelia looked around. "Why am I here?"

"You fainted outside the operating room."

Angelia frowned. She seemed to remember that she had been waiting outside the operating room, and

then she had gradually lost consciousness.

"What about him?"

She asked hurriedly, "Is the surgery done? Where is Jonathan?"

"Mr. Miller's surgery went well. However, he suffered severe burns to his back. He'll need to recuperate

in the sterile ward for a while."

Hearing that Jonathan was okay, Angelia then breathed a sigh of relief.

"I see."

As soon as the nurse left, Angelia quietly removed the IV bottle and walked outside.

She walked through the corridor and to the outside of the sterile ward at the end.

She saw the man on the bed inside through the glass.

Because the burns were on his back, he had to lie down.

The oxygen machine and EKG were working rhythmically on the side, showing Jonathan's signs of life.

Angelia leaned over the window and watched the man inside carefully.

Jonathan happened to be facing her, so she could see his face. His eyes were slightly closed and he

was sleeping quietly.

A couple of nurses walked by behind her. Seeing the patient in the ward, they discussed in low voices.

"I didn't expect Mr. Miller to be so affectionate. As soon as he heard his wife was at the fire, he went

right in. Even those firemen couldn't stop him."

"Really? Didn't they say Jonathan was grumpy and cold? I didn't expect him to be so gentle with his

wife."

"Of course. Didn't you know about what happened at the museum not long ago?"

"But fortunately, the fire was already small when he rushed in, or the consequences would have been

disastrous."

"I heard from someone who was at the scene that he refused to come out later when the fire was out

and kept looking for his wife inside. That scene, alas..."

Angelia stood in front of the glass window and listened as they talked and walked away.

She wasn't there at that time. But even just from what she'd heard from others, she couldn't imagine

the scene.

Jonathan rushed into the fire for her.

Jonathan searched through the rubble for her.

His body had been burned, but he was still holding her.

Seeing her with Echo, he didn't get angry.

He said it was good that she were safe.

How could she leave Jonathan, who loved her so much?

How could she bear to tell him the truth?

Angelia watched the man in the ward from a distance and didn't move for a long time.

She didn't know how long she stood until someone came up behind her.

"Angelia."

Angelia looked up and saw Echo's reflection in the glass.

He took a glance at Jonathan in the ward and said to Angelia, "Angelia, someone wants to see you."

Angelia calmed herself down and turned around. Then she saw the man behind Echo.

The man was dressed in a black suit and looked a little older than Steward. His hair was combed back,

and looked slightly short.

His eyes narrowed when he smiled, like an old fox. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Miss Wilson, hello."

Angelia was stunned when he spoke. She looked at Echo subconsciously.

How could this man know who she was?

As if he could see what she was thinking, the man smiled and said, "Don't worry. I won't tell anyone

about this."

Angelia looked at him warily.

"What are you up to?"

The man smiled and said, "Miss Wilson, please come this way. I'd like to have a word with you."

Angelia cast a glance at Echo.

Echo nodded slightly at her, signaling that the man in front of her could be trusted.

Only then did Angelia finally follow him towards the outside.

"What do you want to tell me?"

When they reached the window, Angelia refused to go any further and stopped.

The man stopped as well. Then he bowed slightly towards Angelia.

"You may call me Mason Murray."

Angelia frowned. When she was about to ask Echo, she found that he had left.

Just as she was confused, Mason spoke up, "Madam has heard what happened at the orphanage and

is very worried about you."

"Madam?"

Angelia turned her attention back to him. "Who is this Madam you speak of?"

"Madam is Madam."

He said ambiguously. Fearing that Angelia would be dissatisfied, he added, "Madam is very concerned

about you. But for some reason, she could not come to see you in person."

Angelia frowned.

The man in front of her didn't look simple, and it reminded her of Steward at the castle.

"What the hell did you want to say?"

"Madam said if you need anything, you can ask me to do it."

Angelia looked at him suspiciously.

Mason folded his arms and bent down slightly.

"I hope you can understand your status. Only you can bully others, others can never bully you."

With that, he handed Angelia a card.

"If you need anything, you can contact me. I will help you do it."

Angelia nodded and looked at the card. On the black card, there was nothing else but Mason's name

and a string of phone numbers written on it.

She pondered for a moment. When she raised her head again, the man in front of her was gone.

Angelia looked around, but there was no sign of Mason at all.

It was as if he had never shown up.

She looked at the card in her hand again and then Echo came over.

"Angelia, let's leave when you get better."

Angelia put the card in her hand away.

"I told you. I'm not leaving."

Echo frowned worriedly.

"You saw it yesterday. Claudia and Angela, they tried to kill you! Now the orphanage is burning down.

Your pact with Randall has long since been nullified."

Angelia turned her head and her eyes were as determined as they had ever been.

"So I'm even more determined not to leave. I will not let the orphanage be burned in vain, and I will not

let Mrs. Percy die in vain."

She clenched her fists.

The orphanage was burned because of her.

Mrs. Percy died because of her.

How could she leave?

Echo spoke up, "If you insist on staying, as soon as they tell Jonathan the truth, what will he do to you?

By then, with the Millers, the Hunks, and Angela, how can you win?"

Seeing that Angelia didn't say anything, he reached out and took her by the hand.

"We can leave first and then come back when the time is right. When we find the evidence..."

"No way."

Angelia let go of his hand.

"I can't do it, Echo."

She paused, quickened her pace, and fled toward Jonathan's ward.

Before she could approach, Steward came running out of it. As soon as he saw Angelia, he said

hastily, "Miss Wilson, Mr. Miller is awake!"

Angelia paused and then hurried to walk towards the ward.

Echo, who was walking last, felt as if a large stone had been placed in his heart as he watched her

quickened pace and the joy on her face.
