Chapter 42Â
The tree leaves outside fell down and floated into the room, landing on Martin’s hand with theÂ
wind.Â
He slightly moved and held onto the leaf, answering the girl’s words, “She… was the person IÂ
loved.”Â
However, she has left forever.Â
Despite the doctor’s advice, Martin checked out of the hospital before his injury had fully healed.Â
He did not return to the company, but went to the cemetery.Â
The cold drizzle started falling from the sky, making me feel chilly as it hit my body.Â
Martin sat in a wheelchair, holding a bouquet of pink champagne, standing in front of a new tombstone. Inside was an empty grave, as her ashes had long been scattered into the sea.Â
He gently placed the flowers on the tombstone.Â
On the tombstone, Evelyn’s smile was graceful and elegant.Â
Martin raised the corners of his mouth and smiled bitterly, “Only when you are with him, yourÂ
smile is bright and captivating.”Â
“I saw that you were living a happy and joyful life without me, you were in another world, livingÂ
well…”Â
Speaking of this, his eyes welled up with tears, “I’m sorry…”Â
The woman who loved her the most, can never come back again.Â
He touched the photo on the tombstone, his movements gentle and careful, as if caressing the mostÂ
precious treasure.Â
Resting her head on the tombstone, she murmured affectionately.Â
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and his face was covered with raindrops. It was already difficult to distinguish whether they were tears or rainwater.Â
I don’t know how long it had been, but the rain gradually became smaller.Â
He moved his numb body slightly and controlled the wheelchair to move.Â
The dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the sunlight streamed through the layers of clouds.Â

He raised his hand, feeling the light, imagining that she was still by his side.Â
With a self–deprecating smile, he wondered why he still dared to hope for her presence by his side.Â
“Martin.”Â
Suddenly, Isabel’s voice sounded.Â
Martin turned around and saw a distressed and haggard woman running towards him. She grabbed his hand and asked in anguish, “Martin, I have been looking for you for a long time. My father’s company is in trouble…”Â
The once glamorous woman, stripped of her dazzling adornments, appeared ordinary.Â
Looking at this woman, a trace of coldness flashed in Martin’s eyes. He withdrew his hand,Â
unwilling to pay any attention.Â
Isabel, unlike her usual pretentious and reserved demeanor, desperately clung onto Martin like sheÂ
was pushed into a corner and grasping onto her last lifeline.Â
“Martin, please, save me, save our company. If you just invest some money, our family can beÂ
revived. Please, I beg you…”Â
Martin looked coldly and indifferently, saying, “This is your business, it has nothing to do withÂ
me.”Â
After saying that, he let go of her hand and maneuvered the wheelchair around her.Â
“Martin, you couldn’t treat me like this.”Â
Isabel caught up.Â
Suddenly, there was a loud “bang” accompanied by a woman’s scream.Â
Martin turned around in astonishment and saw Isabel lying on the ground, with dark red bloodÂ
streaming down from her forehead, next to a stone stained with blood.Â
“Isabel!”Â
Hospital, outside the emergency room.Â
George hurriedly came over and said, “Mr. Wilson, the payment has been made.”Â
Martin nodded and rubbed his throbbing forehead, feeling helpless in the face of this suddenÂ
unexpected event.Â

…Â
At that moment, the door of the emergency room opened.Â
The doctor came out and sighed, “The patient is not in immediate danger, but their brain nerves are damaged, and they may never wake up again.”Â
Upon hearing these words, the two individuals were stunned.Â
Never wake up again?Â
Would she become a vegetable?Â
At that moment, Martin’s heart was filled with mixed feelings.Â
Isabel’s parents rushed over.Â
Upon hearing the terrible news, Isabel’s mother fainted on the spot.Â
Finally waking up, she cried her heart out, “Daughter, my daughter.”Â
Immediately, she cast a fierce gaze at Martin and said, “It’s all because of you that my daughter had an accident. If it weren’t for looking for you, she would still be fine.”Â
