Chapter 1459: In the Name of Love, Hurting the Ones I Love Most—This Kind of Love, I Don’t Need!

Self-blame spreads in his heart, Jose Floyd’s eyes grow deeper crimson, his fingers clinging tightly to the bracelet of Small Purple Leaf Sandalwood in his hand, yet because of his extreme self-blame, he doesn’t notice his grip and the bracelet chain breaks, the beads of Small Purple Leaf Sandalwood scattering on the ground by his feet.

Like pearls and jade falling to the ground, clear and crisp sounds, each resonating in Jose Floyd’s heart, causing his slightly pale thin lips to tremble.

"Nicole, your prayers for my safety have truly come true."

Yet he never expected it was her life exchanged for his safety; if he had known it would be so, he would never have let her give him peace.

"But Nicole, I don’t want it at all, all I want is just you."

"Actually, I should have understood long ago, understood my feelings for you, I should have known that for a medical student like you, for me whom you deeply hate, why the initial stab wasn’t directly to the heart, it’s because you held back. It’s because you never intended for me to die, you just wanted justice for Wade back then."

"Because of the first child, I heard with my own ears the nurse say it was Miss Seys who took away the child, so I almost strangled you and left. But I didn’t know you’d just returned from the gates of hell, due to ectopic pregnancy..."

"The second child, the doctor’s case report, Andrea’s words, Olivia’s testimony, your handwritten letter telling me to never appear in front of you.... I thought it was because you hated me, so you took away my child, wishing to stay away from me. My hatred for you reached its peak..."

"Nicole, actually it wasn’t that you always owed me, it was me who always owed you."

"What you owed me was just that one stab, but you repaid me with your life, and gave me a lifetime of guilt and longing, you won..."

"Nicole, what I owe you is more than just a sorry... Saffron personally ended our child’s life... but at that time I was dying to make you pay."

"So, Nicole, after securing my safety, even your bracelet is scattered like this, refusing to forgive me, is that it?"

Jose Floyd’s gaze turns to Langdon Seal, his voice as cold as ice: "Why did she have to do that! That is my child! What she’s carrying is my child! That is her own grandchild!!"

Langdon Seal faced the cold Jose Floyd, his throat feeling a bit stuck, "Jose, Mom thinks Nicole isn’t right for you, after all, she went for your life..."

"Why make decisions for me? Did they ask for my opinion? You all claim to make decisions for me in the name of love! Your decisions are just hurting the person I love the most behind my back! Olivia, how could she act so cruelly! That is her own grandchild! And Camden, what right do you have to think it’s good for me and hurt her constantly?! Do you have the qualifications? Do I need your protection and care? In my eyes and heart, none of you could match even a strand of her hair!!"

Jose Floyd’s coldness emanates from inside out, chilling and terrifying.

Langdon Seal is silent for a while, "Mom indeed did wrong about this, but Jose, could you forgive Mom for your sake?"

"Then can I exchange my own life for her to still be alive! Langdon Seal, can saying it was a mistake make up for the harm done to Nicole? Can it bring my child back to life? In the name of love, hurting the person and child I love most, such love, I, Jose Floyd, will never need in this lifetime!"

"Jose—" Langdon Seal tries to persuade.

"Shut up for me! Olivia, she did all this so heartlessly! Harmed my child, and even performed a play in front of me, fine! Really fine! I really am her -god-damn- own son!!"
