Chapter 1219 - 1221: Are You Really Willing to Let Her Go?

"I heard the nurse say that you drove Isla away. Why did you drive Isla away for no good reason?"

His attitude toward Isla, holding her in the palm center of his hand for fear of breaking her, how could he willingly drive her away?

He was wounded so deeply that even without anesthesia, seeing Isla, all the pain he probably already couldn’t feel anymore.

Isla was his best anesthetic and his lifeline antidote.

Edward Benson glanced outside the window, his voice tinged with subtle melancholy, "Lan Singh, I shouldn’t hold Isla back, she is free."

Her man is free, and likewise, her heart should be free.

Now she has amnesia, the memories she lost, all are about him.

Now, only he lives with memories from before, all his sacrifices, his deep love for her, to Isla, are a burden.

Without memory, to her, Edward Benson is a complete stranger.

Having her be with a stranger is truly demanding the impossible.

And he... the last thing he wishes to do is force her.

He doesn’t wish to force her, nor does he want her to be unhappy, especially when the one making her unhappy is him, he just can’t forgive himself more.

In love, the one who loves deeply is always passive, always humiliated.

He loves deeply and feels indebted to Isla, so even if she wants Moony in the sky, he would spare no effort to get it for her.

Even if it costs this life, he would offer it without hesitation.

Sadly... Everything he can give, in Isla’s eyes, is worthless.

She doesn’t need it.

No matter how much he gives, to Isla, it’s all a burden.

So, he has thought it through, he has understood, sets her free.

Before Isla appeared, he had no beliefs, he began to believe in Buddha, began to consistently do good deeds to accumulate merit, only praying for Buddha to protect Isla’s safety and well-being.

As long as she still lives in this world, whether she loves him or even wishes to kill him, he is happy.

As long as Isla is still alive, as long as they can still breathe under the same sky, he is joyful.

Loving to the extreme, he is no longer demanding, nor dares to hope to return to the past with Isla, return to before.

As long as she’s well, he’s well.

She stirs all his senses, his joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

William Guillen scoffed dismissively, "Benson, just letting her leave like this, are you really content?"

At that time, when Isla wanted to assassinate Thomas Shannon, it was he who mediated in the middle, and also he who shamelessly pleaded for Isla.

When Isla was caught and dealt with by Lillian Spencer, it was also him, who pleaded with Thomas Shannon for help to rescue Isla.

And to avenge Isla, he returned to the Thompson Family.

Everything he has done, does it not count as sacrifice?

Putting aside the fact that he is Edward Benson’s friend, standing from an outsider’s perspective, at that time, Edward Benson did not do it intentionally, he was completely framed.

Isla’s accident, the saddest person was none other than Edward Benson.

However, because of Isla’s accident, he is self-blaming and feeling guilty, and this is within reason.

But ultimately, it cannot be the reason for Isla’s repeated hurt toward him.

No matter how strong Edward Benson is, he is also a person, he is of flesh and blood, can cry and feel pain.

Isla just left like that, taking his soul away, leaving a walking corpse of Edward Benson, what difference is there from killing him?

Edward Benson laughed and shook his head, the solitude in his eyes made William Guillen’s heart tremble with fear.
