Chapter 733 Regret
After getting into the car, Jennifer glared at June. “Why did you say I was pregnant with your child just now?”
“You didn’t object when I said that, no?” June replied in a nonchalant tone as he started driving. Jennifer was furious, but she had nothing to defend herself with.
“Jennifer, don’t tell me that you still miss him. Don’t expect him to fall in love with you. You’ve been pursuing him for two years and yet he did not fall in love with you, not to mention that you have lost your chastity. Think about the video of your naked body. Do you think he will still accept you?” June was undoubtedly rubbing salt on Jennifer’s wound.
Jennifer’s expression darkened at once. “What do you mean by that, June?”
“You heard me. Both of us have become celebrities in the video. When I went to talk business, many partners deliberately asked me how it felt to bed you, and they also asked me whether you and I were really a couple. I know that the Chanaeans still attach great importance to the reputation of women, so I think it’s probably impossible for you and Mr. Scott to be together. After all, he, too, comes from a wealthy family,” June said calmly.
Jennifer had called him a piece of trash earlier, so that was his little revenge. He wanted Jennifer to know the state she was in. With the video of her naked body being released, she was now the most famous person in Tayhaven. There was no way the upper class would want to marry her. However, there were still many wealthy people who wanted her. After all, she had a good appearance, a good family background, and good abilities. It would not be a bad idea to accept Jennifer and keep her at home.
“I know the state I’m in, so there’s no need for you to remind me. Besides, don’t be too happy. If my life is miserable, it will be the same for you too. I heard that Mr. Yard is already dissatisfied with you, and he doesn’t even want Cassie to have too much contact with you. You’d better be careful or all your efforts would be in vain.”
June responded with a snort and said nothing.
Jennifer leaned against the car seat. There was an emptiness in her eyes and what felt like a void in her heart.
Indeed, no matter how much she had loved Carter, many things had happened in less than a year. There was a gap between her and Carter that could not be crossed. Regardless of what had happened to her mother, the video of her was enough to make her stop, not to mention Carter still did not love her.
Jennifer couldn’t help but laugh self-deprecatingly. Her heart ached slightly when she thought of Carter’s appearance. However, on second thought, she thought that this might be the best ending for her and Carter—each going their own way.
Jennifer was distracted, and so was Carter, who was in the ward.
“Carr, Carr,” Eleanor called out when she saw that he was in a daze.
Carter came back to his senses. He forced a smile and said, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Hutton. I was lost in my thoughts.”
“Are you too tired from work? If you are, go back and get some rest. I’m happy that you have to heart to visit me,” Eleanor said softly.
Carter looked at Eleanor, who looked exactly like Amelia. A little dazed, he subconsciously shook his head.
Eleanor asked worriedly, “Are you all right? Does your head hurt?”
“I’m fine, Mrs. Hutton. I just think you and Amelia look very similar. You look just like her biological sister.”
“My daughters all look like me, but Lia more so. She is a replica of me when I was younger. If I had the photos of me when I was younger, I would have shown them to you.”
“You’re not old, Mrs. Hutton.”
“I’m already in my sixties. How am I not old? Besides, I have a malignant brain tumor now, and I will look older when all my hair falls out. But I don’t have any regrets now. I’m satisfied as long as I can see that Lia is doing well,” said Eleanor with a casual smile.
Carter shook off the muddled thoughts in his mind and said, “You really have a good attitude, Mrs. Hutton. There are very few people who are so positive when they’re sick. You are very similar to Amelia in this regard. When I met her at the university, I thought she was a very simple and lovely girl. She wasn’t just beautiful, but she was also very talented in design. If not for… I think she would have been an internationally renowned designer by now.”
“What happened?” Eleanor caught the main point.
Carter smiled and avoided giving a direct answer. “Mrs. Hutton, I’m going to see if Amelia is back.”
Eleanor glanced at him suspiciously and asked, “Carter, you used to like Lia, didn’t you?”
Carter paused in his tracks upon hearing that. However, he didn’t hide it. “Yes, Mrs. Hutton. I thought about marrying her, but then there was a little misunderstanding. After that, I was separated from her for several years, and when we met again, she was already married for a long time. Maybe it’s just fate.”
Wisely changing the subject, Eleanor asked, “Then do you have a girlfriend? You are good in every aspect, so you should also like someone who’s on the same level as you, right?”
Carter fell into a trance. He couldn’t help thinking of Jennifer, who had just left him with June.
He smiled bitterly and replied, “There was a girl who had been pursuing me desperately for two years, but I didn’t know how to cherish her love. She has left now, and she is with another man.”
“Does that man truly love her?”
Does June truly love her?
He remembered the information of June that he had previously investigated. June’s relationships are very complicated, and he is entangled with many women. More importantly, he has been with Cassie for eight years, so how can such a man be sincere to Jennifer?
“What’s the matter? Is he not good to her? If she’s not doing well, and you two still have feelings for each other, then I think you should fight for it. You’ve already missed Amelia. Are you going to regret it again this time?” Eleanor asked earnestly.
She had a lot of experience and had enjoyed endless wealth. After material satisfaction, all women wanted was a sincere relationship, unless those women were ones who had been wasting their lives fooling around.
Carter fell into deep thought.
It was then Amelia came in with some food. “Mom, it seems that you and Carter had a pretty good time talking to each other.”
“Carter is very polite, and he is courteous to the elders. I think it’s hard for anyone not to like him,” Eleanor said with a smile.
Amelia put the food on the table and said, “Mom, I bought you the spaghetti that you suddenly craved. Come and eat it while it’s hot. Carter, I bought one for you too. You must be hungry.”
Carter nodded in response.
After finishing the spaghetti, Carter sat for a while and then got up to leave.
Amelia followed him out of the ward. While waiting for the elevator, she asked, “Carter, I don’t think you’re in a particularly good mood. What’s the matter?”
“I just saw Jennifer. She was with June. He said that Jennifer is pregnant with his child,” said Carter, an unfathomable glint in his eyes.
Amelia was stunned. I was right! Jennifer did end up with June.
June is involved with Cassie, yet now he’s with Jennifer. This is getting more and more complicated.
“Now that Jennifer is pregnant, what are you going to do?” Amelia asked after she thought about it.
“What can I do? I never even started with her. I couldn’t wait for her to leave back then, and now that she’s gone, I can’t be happier.”
This man is still so stubborn.
“If you were really happy, you wouldn’t have been distracted just now. I can see that she still loves you, so you must seize the opportunity.”
Carter turned to look at her and said, “Amelia, it’s always been you that I love.”
Amelia rolled her eyes. “Oh, please, you haven’t shown up in front of me for a long time, and we have never even been together. You only pestered me because you couldn’t get me to love you. Maybe you have once loved me. But after so many years, I suppose that love has long since disappeared.”
Carter pursed his lips tightly.
“Seize the opportunity and don’t do something that you’ll regret again.”
In the end, Carter nodded.
After sending Carter downstairs, Amelia took the elevator up. As soon as she got out of the elevator, she saw her mother being quickly pushed out of the ward by someone. Stunned, she hurried over and followed behind the hospital bed.
“Jolin, what’s going on? Wasn’t my mom okay just now?” Amelia asked anxiously.
“I don’t know either, Mrs. Clinton. As soon as you left, Mrs. Hutton said that her head hurt, and then she passed out. After that is what you just saw,” Jolin said with a frown.
Amelia’s mind was in a whirl, but she didn’t forget about Tony. “Where’s Tony?”
“I let the other bodyguards watch over him, Mrs. Clinton. I was afraid that what happened to Mrs. Hutton might scare Mr. Anthony.”
Amelia nodded.
Eleanor was pushed into the operating room. Amelia paced up and down anxiously outside, her eyebrows tightly furrowed.
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Clinton. Mrs. Hutton will be fine,” Jolin said.
Amelia was still pacing back and forth, and the crease on her forehead was a sign of her worries.
Right then, she was jolted by the phone ringing in her hand.
It was a call from Benjamin.
After hesitating for a moment, she answered, “Hello?”
“Lia, I’m in the hospital now. Which ward are you guys in? I’m coming over right now,” said Benjamin on the other end of the phone.
“Come to the sixth floor, Mr. Hutton. Mom passed out. She’s in the operating room now,” Amelia replied in a grim voice.
“I’m coming up now.”
Benjamin climbed up to the sixth floor while panting. He was so tired that his legs became jelly.
“Explain yourself, Amelia. Why is my wife in the operating room again? You promised me when you were in Saspiuburg that you would take good care of her, and yet this happened in just one day. How did you take care of her?” Benjamin asked in a low voice.
Jolin put Amelia behind her and said, “Please watch your words, Mr. Hutton. You know your wife’s illness better than anyone else. It’s not fair to scold someone as soon as you arrive.”
Benjamin took a deep breath, brushed his hair, and sat tiredly on the bench.
Amelia walked past Jolin and toward Benjamin. “I’m sorry.”
Benjamin shook his head and said despondently, “It’s not your fault. I was too anxious just now.”
