the operating room 2 Hedy's POV 28 92 Bryson's eyes widened , filled with sorrow as they fell on my belly . " Ch - Child ? " His voice trembled . " How ... How could this happen ? Why would something like this happen ? " His hand shook as he reached out , as if wanting to touch my belly . But with a blank expression , I slapped his hand away . " That's why , " I said coldly , " don't contact me again . Don't come looking for me again . The only thing you can do now is turn yourself in ." My tone hardened . " Well , if you don't , you know I can always call the cops . " I lifted my hand , glanced at the time on my phone . " Five minutes , " I said flatly . " In five minutes , the cops will be here . Bryson , surrender yourself . " Hearing this , he staggered back several steps . From outside , the voices of the police were already coming through . He looked at me painfully once more , then stumbled away . The moment he left , my phone suddenly rang . " Ma'am , your brother has woken up- " The moment I heard that , the phone slipped from my hand , crashing onto the floor with a clatter . I didn't even care about the cops swarming into the parking lot . I quickly entrusted everything to my secretary , then turned and rushed to my car . When I arrived at the hospital , I didn't even have time to stop at the front desk ; I bolted straight to my brother's room . There Trevor was , still lying pale and motionless on the hospital bed , looking no different from before . In that instant , all strength drained from me , and I collapsed onto the floor of his room . " Didn't you say ... my brother finally woke up ? " My voice came out thin , weak , and almost breaking . The endless waiting had nearly crushed my heart . My brother was all I had left , my only family . As I spoke , a sudden flurry of doctors rushed through the hospital room door . In the chaos of footsteps and shouts , my brother's eyelids slowly fluttered open . My Marriage Died in the Operating Room 1/4 07.28 9:51 Wed , Oct 15 " Trevor ! " 2 I couldn't hold back anymore . I rushed forward , throwing myself into a gentle embrace around him . On his pale face , a faint smile curved his lips . " You're still as reckless as ever ... Where's Mom ? " When I heard his voice , my whole body stiffened . Between broken sobs , I haltingly told him everything . When he heard that she had died at the hands of Bryson and Debbii , Trevor could no longer hold back . His eyes went red , and his whole body trembled with rage , as if he wished he could drag the two criminals to jail on the spot . I wept with tears streaming down my face . " Trevor ... I'm sorry . It's all my fault . If not for me , you and Mom wouldn't have suffered like this . It's all my fault ... " It was the first time since Mom's death that I broke down completely , crying uncontrollably . As my sobs nearly choked me , Trevor gently patted my head . " Don't cry anymore . None of this is your fault . These sins belong to Bryson and Debbii . As your brother , I should have been the one standing in front of you . But instead , I left you to face all of this alone . These days ... you must have been so tired . " Sobbing , I clung tightly to him . Three days later , my brother was ready to be discharged . I had finished packing everything , and just as I was preparing to leave , the hospital room door suddenly burst open . " Hedy ." It was Bryson . " I heard your brother's being discharged . I came to see him ... I just want to apologize to your Trevor . Just ... listen to me , please ? " I never imagined he'd appear before me again . He really was insane . If not for my brother's condition , I wouldn't have spared Bryson a single breath . " Get out ! " I snapped . " I told you never to appear in front of me again , didn't I ?! How dare you come into my brother's room ? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you ?

" 28 214 98.1 % 9:51 Wed , Oct 15 0 92 Without hesitation , I pulled out my phone , called the cops , and alerted the hospital security . Last time , in my rush to see my brother , I'd let Bryson escape . This time , I had to send him to prison - just as a gift for my brother finally being discharged from the hospital . With that thought , my eyes darkened . Even Trevor let out a cold laugh . Staring at the disheveled Bryson , he sneered . " You bastard , how did you end up so pathetic ? Then again , it's fitting . For someone as heartless and cruel as you , living well would mean heaven's eyes were blind . You deserve to live miserably . That's the only way my mom can rest in peace ! " At the mention of our mom in heaven , Trevor's eyes grew red again . " You're a fucking beast , Bryson ! How did my mother treat you all those years ? She treated you like her own son ! And yet you - just for the sake of a woman - you let Mom die ! If you loved Debbii so much , why didn't you just divorce my sister ? Did you think we'd still cling to someone like you , huh ?! " His questions and his fury made Bryson's face pale as death . His expression was filled with unbearable pain , but in the end , all he could force out was one broken phrase . " I - I'm ... sorry . " Soon , hospital security rushed in , pinning him firmly to the floor . He didn't resist . He didn't even seem to notice . His eyes remained fixed on me in a daze , almost obsessively . " Hedy , " he murmured , " I knew coming here meant you'd hand me to the cops . But I don't mind . This is the only way I can pay for everything I did . " I met his gaze with nothing but indifference . " Wait for me , Hedy , " he continued . " Please ... wait for me . When I get out , I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you . " The words had barely left his lips when the cops arrived and escorted him away . Seeing me watch in the direction he had left , my brother let his face sink . " Don't tell me you're still thinking of waiting for that bastard . I swear , I will never accept you being with him again ." Looking at the familiar strength finally returning to my brother's face , I couldn't help but smile . 28 3/4 99.1 % But Who Oct 15 : 92 " Of course not . Even if he serves his sentence and comes out , he'll never have another chance to come near me again . From now on , I'll live well ... with you , my brother . " That brought a smile to his face , too . At that perfect moment , sunlight fell across us both , as if lighting the path to a brighter future . 28 ΔΙΑ
