"Besse, I'm sorry."
Doyle suddenly apologized.
Besse looked at him and smiled lightly.
"You see my ugliest side," Doyle said weakly. "What Skye said was all true."
Besse didn't know how to respond to him. From a human perspective, she would indeed harbor
resentment towards Doyle. But when facing the danger of Doyle, she couldn't remain rational and
watch Doyle pay for his past misdeeds.
"When the doctor said you'll remain a vegetable state, I broke down. I couldn't accept it, so I took all my
revenge on whoever caused the car accident. If she hadn't been driving drunk, you wouldn't have had
that accident. I was so angry, I ordered all the hospitals not to treat her, as a way to get revenge. There
was no death penalty in Jolencami, and even if she had been responsible, she would have been
sentenced to life. And I didn't want her alive, because she did this to you."
"I never thought you would wake up, a miracle. I just wanted to do exactly what she did to you. I
thought it was only fair to me, but I didn't expect... you woke up." Doyle said with some discomfort.
There was still guilt inside him. He thought Besse would never wake up so he did that.
In fact, there were not so many miracles in this world. Sometimes, miracles were nothing but a long-
planned scheme.
"I understand you," Besse said, "what's done is done."
"If you hate me..." Doyle's voice choked up a bit, "I won't blame you."
"Take care of your health first," Besse comforted, "Once you've recovered, we can talk more." Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
"Besse," Doyle called out to her.
She looked at him.
"Thank you," Doyle said, his eyes red with tears. "Thank you for still being alive."
Besse felt a little pain in her heart.
What if she had been dead?
She forced a smile and said, "Take good care of yourself. I'll leave now."
"You too. Take good care of yourself."
Besse nodded and was wheeled out of the ward.
She saw Susan, Manuel and Theodore waiting for her there. Theodore's wounds had been tended and
he had just arrived.
"I don't care if you agree or not, I'm taking you to see Oscar." Theodore said bluntly.
It was originally Susan and Manuel's job to bring Besse along. After waiting for half an hour without
seeing the two of them return, it became clear that Besse had refused.
Besse was a cruel woman, and Theodore could see right through her.
Susan and Manuel were soft-hearted people who wouldn't force Besse into anything she didn't want to
do.
"He wants to see me?"
"I think he does." Theodore stated plainly.
Besse frowned.
"Didn't they tell you Oscar's condition is uncertain?" Theodore asked.
Besse's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Susan.
"I didn't say anything," Susan said. "I thought Oscar's health was his own business, there was no need
to involve Besse in it, nor did she need any guilt."
"You're all good people," Theodore spoke coldly. "You can think about others like this but I won't. I only
think about Oscar. Even if you disagree with me taking Besse there anyway."
"She isn't a doctor. Just let her see Oscar, it doesn't mean he'll get better."
"At least I won't have any regrets," replied Theodore firmly, "I won't regret missing any chance for
Oscar's recovery."
Susan had never seen Theodore so serious before, nor seen him act so unfeelingly towards others.
Suddenly, she realized that perhaps the real reason behind his principles lay solely with Oscar. If she
hadn't known of his love for women then perhaps she would've suspected him having feelings beyond
friendship towards Oscar.
"Let's go," said Theordore without wasting anymore time as he turned towards Besse, "I don't want to
use force."
Susan wanted to speak up on behalf of Bess but Manuel held her back.
Frowning deeply in frustration, Susan knew full well where Manuel's loyalties lay. He wanted Besse to
see Oscar too.
When Susan felt like exploding, Manuel explained, "We can't fight against Theodore either."
Theodore was at the second highest position in Northfield. If things really got out of hand, it would only
end up affecting their relationship with each other more than anything else.
So instead of being stubborn in front of such important matters, Susan realized that maybe things
weren't as simple as what they seemed. She hesitated for a moment and chose silence.
"I'll go," Besse agreed.
Susan felt a twinge of guilt as she watched Besse give in so easily.
"But I don't think I can do anything. After all, I have no feelings for Oscar." Besse said plainly.
At that moment, Susan couldn't help but feel sorry for Oscar once again. Sighing to herself, Susan
realized that she was just too soft-hearted for her own good.
"You don't need to have feelings," Theodore interjected. "I know you're heartless."
Besse didn't say anything more and Theodore wasted no time in wheeling her towards Oscar's hospital
room.
As the nurse had told her earlier, the entire floor was on lockdown with tight security measures in place.
If it weren't for Theodore bringing her along, Besse would never have been able to see Oscar at all.
When they arrived at the door, many experts were keeping watch over Oscar, afraid of any mishap
occurring during his critical condition. With a simple gesture from Theodore's hand, one of the experts
came forward immediately.
"Didn't you say tonight is crucial? If Commander wakes up now there won't be any danger to his life
anymore, and the best way to wake him up is by having someone he loves and cares about call out his
name. I thought about having his son or daughter come here, but I believe she might be more
important than them, since he almost died trying to save her life." Theodore stated coldly.
Besse listened as she began understanding why Theodore had brought her here so forcefully-because
they needed someone who could wake him up from this coma by calling out his name.
The expert nodded. Theodore and Besse got inside. Then, Besse was left alone in the ward.
Theodore said to her before he got out, "Even if you don't love him, yet remember how much he risked
everything just because of you, tell him some kind lies if necessary."
