Need You Now

Chapter 279 Tell The Truth

After taking medicine, Gavin finally recovered. After making sure that Gavin was fine, Heidy left Hearst's villa without having lunch. Hearst knew that she had made up her mind to move on. The only thing they could talk about was their children.

When Gavin was asleep, Hearst came to the balcony. Hearst sat on a chair, looking up at the starry sky with a glass of wine in his hand. He didn't like enjoying the scenery, he just needed some alone time. Only then could he miss Heidy without scruple.

Holding a glass of wine, he raised his head and drank it up. Before, Hearst was a man of great self- discipline and do not allow himself to drown his sorrows. But now, he liked drinking. Only when he got drunk could he forget something unpleasant for the time being and the fact that he had broken up with Heidy.

Even when he was drinking, Hearst still looked tense. When Cathy came to the balcony, she saw Hearst pouring wine for himself. She walked up to him and asked, "Hearst, why are you drinking? Don't drink too much. Alcohol is bad for your health." As she spoke, she tried to grab the wine glass from his hand.

With a blank face, Hearst escaped from her hand and said, "Leave me alone. It's none of your business." As he spoke, he kept drinking.

She sat opposite him and felt bitter when she saw his face. Over the past few days, she had felt that Hearst's attitude towards her was sometimes too good to be true. She couldn't figure it out. "Do you like me?" Cathy asked suddenly.

She just found that Hearst never said he liked her in private. He did it in front of Heidy once. Hearst's body froze, but he didn't turn around. "You don't need to know. I have promised to take care of you," said Hearst in a low voice.

His silence made her heart ache. She felt like there was something behind all this. Those things were very important. It seemed that Hearst didn't care about her at all. He kept drinking, looking cold. Cathy sat quietly opposite him.

Gradually, he drank too much that started to vomit. Seeing this, Cathy patted him on the back in a hurry. "Are you okay, Hearst?"

Hearst vomited repeatedly, looking very painful. Without answering her, Hearst kept vomiting. She was so nervous that she helped him up immediately and went downstairs.

Cathy was not that kind of fragile girl. She just walked downstairs, holding Hearst's arms. After a while, she came back to the bedroom and managed to put him on the bed. "Why did you drink so much? And you also got drunk last night. You are not like the Hearst I knew before," said Cathy softly.

When she was about to tuck him in, she suddenly heard him say in a low voice, "Heidy, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry... Please forgive me, forgive me..."

Hearing him call the name of Heidy while he was drunk, she felt that Hearst loved her dearly. "Hearst, since you like her so much, why do you love me?" asked Cathy, confused. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

"I don't like Cathy, but I have to accept her. I have to accept her because of you..." said Hearst subconsciously.

Eyes wide open, Cathy was shocked. She looked at him incredibly and asked, "You don't like me? Then why did you accept me?"

Lying on his side, Hearst closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "I want you to be alive, as long as you can be alive..."

Cathy sat there in shock, not knowing what to do. But she was still confused why as long as Hearst was with her, Heidy could live? "Hearst, what on earth happened?" asked Cathy.

Hearst closed his eyes, breathing steadily. Seeing that he had fallen asleep, a look of loss appeared on her face. Thinking of what he had just said, Cathy was confused. "So in fact, Hearst still loves Heidy, he doesn't like me. If so, why did you want to marry me? Is it because of grandma?"

She felt that things had happened all of a sudden. When she saw Hearst frowning, she kept silent. In fact, she had been feeling the same way these days. Although she knew that Hearst treated her well, she didn't feel that deep love from him. And when Hearst looked at Heidy, she could feel his love for Heidy even though he didn't say anything.

Sighing slightly, she turned around, walked outside and gently closed the door. In fact, she had mixed feelings now. She suddenly didn't know what she should do next.

No matter what would happen next, life would go on. As the most famous businessman in A city, Heidy and Hearst always had chance to meet each other due to special occasions. And at this time, it was a test for them.

Every year, A city would hold an Industry and Commerce convention, and the chairman of the most outstanding enterprises in A city would be invited. As for the Hua group and the J.Y Group, they were certainly among the lists. What made Heidy even more depressed was that their seats were on the center table, and they would have to seat next to each other.

With her eyes fixed on the front, Heidy listened to the speech of the director of industrial and commercial bureau. On the other hand, Hearst, who was sitting next to her, was also staring blankly ahead. They were only 20 centimeters apart, but neither of them spoke. The air between them was as cold as ice.

The leader gave a speech, and then it was time for discussion. Taking a sip of her water, Heidy listened to the lively discussion. Hearst was also looking at Heidy from the corner of his eyes. Seeing that she didn't look well, he wanted to care about her. However, he didn't know how to say it.

With her back to him, Heidy talked to a business man at the next table. After Hearst had well prepared, he called, "Heidy."

Heidy turned around as she heard the voice, but her hand accidentally hit the teacup. The next second, the teacup overturned. The tea stains went down the table and dropped on Hearst's pants. Heidy was in a daze for a few seconds before she picked up a tissue and wiped his pants. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

The tea was a little hot, and she didn't know whether it had scalded him or not. Thinking of this, she wiped it harder. As she was wiping carefully, Hearst caught her hand quickly. Heidy looked up at him in confusion. "What? Something wrong?"

Hearst blushed unnaturally and said to her in a low voice, "I can do it myself." Then, he took the tissue from her hand.

Looking at him in bewilderment, she lowered her head. When she saw the obvious bulge on his trousers, she understood at once. The part she just wiped was a little... She turned her head in an awkward manner, and her ears were a little red. She pretended to be calm and said, "Mr. Hearst, you are becoming more and more sensitive."

Hearst coughed to hide his embarrassment. Not knowing what to do, he lowered his head. In fact, he didn't expect that he would have an erection while she just helped him wipe his pants.

In an awkward atmosphere, Heidy looked at him and asked calmly, "What did you call me for just now?"

Being nervous, Hearst shook his head and said, "Nothing."

"Oh," said Heidy. Then she looked away and stopped talking with him. Buried in their own thoughts, the meeting finally came to an end. Heidy and Hearst left side by side. "Has Elsa behaved well recently?" Hearst asked casually.

"Yes, she is. How is Gavin? Is he okay?" Heidy replied calmly.

Putting one of his hands into his pockets, he replied in a hoarse voice, "Much better, but his health is too poor."

Hearing this, Heidy stopped and said seriously, "If you want to keep him by your side, take good care of him. If you and Cathy can't make it, just leave him to me."

Hearing this, Hearst said in a low voice, "I'll take care of him."

Without saying anything, she turned around and continued to walk ahead. "Heidy." Upon hearing Kevin, he turned to look in the direction of the voice.

Seeing him, Hearst had mix feelings. As far as Hearst was concerned, the two of them had a close relationship recently. He also knew that Kevin loved Heidy. But even if he had dozens of reasons to give up on Heidy, it was still so difficult to do it.

At the sight of him, Heidy asked in surprise, "How did you know I'm here, Kevin?"

"Jessica just called me. She asked me to pick you up to have a meal together," answered Kevin. "Will you come with us, Hearst?"

Hearst looked at the two people standing side by side and refused bluntly, "No."

"Mr. Hearst would have meals with his little girlfriend," Heidy said coldly. She had said those words out of anger, but she didn't expect that she would get an answer from him.

Looking at her, Hearst nodded and said, "Well, she's not used to eating alone."

Hearing his answer, Heidy said coldly, "You do love her very much! It seems that we will get the wedding invitation soon. Let's go, Kevin. We'd better not waste more time on talking with Mr. Hearst." With that, she held Kevin's hand and strode forward.

Kevin turned around, casting a glance at Hearst. Then he nodded to Hearst and left with Heidy.

Hearst stood there and watched them leave with a blank expression on his face. "Boss, you still care so much about Mrs. Heidy. Why did you hurt her by words?" Assistant Liu asked in confusion.

On the other hand, Hearst didn't say a word. There was something flashing through his eyes, and then he walked away with heavy steps.
