My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 523

It seemed like LG only spoke Ruslian when talking to Shawn. She lay there among the trash, covered in blood while

her hair was a mess from the wind. Perhaps it was due to her injuries, but her lips were trembling when she

exclaimed, "How dare you kick me off the building, Shawn."

Shawn paused. Just as I thought he was going to say something, he continued walking away from the place.

He completely ignored her.

I wrapped my arms around his waist. "She likes you."

He looked down at me with a smile in his eyes. "Jealous?"

"Nope. You don't like her anyway."

That kick of his was so vicious.

He carried me out of the area where Waylen was waiting with a helicopter parked right behind him.

"Mr. Xenos," Waylen said, hurrying over to us when he spotted us walking over, "the other side is pushing for us to

hurry. Shall we go over right now?"

Shawn was only able to save me because he seized a minuscule gap in his schedule.

Scared that I would be keeping him from something major, I said, "Go deal with your work."

He put me down and covered me with his suit jacket. Although he did not ask me why I was there, I still provided an

explanation. "LG forbade me from contacting anyone, but she is Ezekiel's subordinate. I contacted him, wanting to

make a deal with him. I offered to help him with my connections if he let May go free. Who knew she would be a

disobedient lunatic? He did keep his promise though... I don't know why I'm explaining all this, but I just want you to

understand my train of thought. I'm sorry. I made you worry again."

He stroked my cheek. "Yes, I can understand that. I know how LG is. I have to leave now for business. If you're still

worried, send Ezekiel to the hospital. I'll have Waylen follow you. Remember to message me when you get home

safe though."

I was stunned. "You would let me..."

He smiled. "Yes, he is the enemy, but he did not do wrong just now. Sending him to the hospital would be repaying

the favor. Sir will be sending May to the hospital later as well. With him around, I won't worry. Do remember to go

home early."

"Okay. I'll message you."

Waylen was shocked. "Mr. Xenos, you'll be alone..."

Shawn scowled and snapped, "Go with Mrs. Xenos."

"Yes, Mr. Xenos."

I only headed back to the construction site after Shawn left. When I arrived back at the building, LG was nowhere to

be found while Sir was trying to stop May's bleeding. Meanwhile, Ezekiel was still on the ground.

I went over to help Ezekiel up. "Where's LG?"

"She limped away just now," Sir replied.

I was surprised to hear LG was still able to leave unassisted.

"Bring him to the car," I ordered Waylen.

By now, May's bleeding had stopped, so he carried her into his arms. The five of us then filed into two separate

cars.

Waylen was seated in the back, supporting Ezekiel, and trying to stop his bleeding with the help of his shirt. I was up

front, driving. As we were approaching the hospital, I faintly heard Ezekiel call out, "Ree..."

"Did he say something?" I asked Waylen.

"No," he replied.

"I'm sorry, Miss..."

"He is saying something," I said.

"Mrs. Xenos, please focus on the road."

......

Ezekiel was wheeled into an emergency operating theater. Waylen soon left with the excuse of work to attend to.

The only people left in the hospital corridor were now Sir and me. Suddenly, I was overwhelmed by a foreboding

feeling.

"Something's wrong," I said.

"What?" Sir calmly asked.

"Something about the way things went is off to me."

I then asked him, "Why did you let LG leave?"

"May's bleeding wouldn't stop. I was in no state of mind to bother with her."

I pulled out my phone and messaged Gary.

I told him to kill LG no matter what the price was.

I did not want to be so heartless, but LG was a threat as long as she was alive.

Speaking of threats, Ezekiel was one as well.

His targets were Shawn, Sir, and the others. He should not be allowed to live, yet Shawn wanted me to save him.

I just could not bear it.

It was because of his past.

He helped May just now.

Sir glanced at the operating theater doors before suddenly mentioning Ezekiel. "That man really should not be

alive."

"Is that so?" I asked.

"Yes, but it's a pity if he died."

I closed my eyes as I curiously asked once more, "All of you said he had a self-destructive borderline personality

disorder, so what is so bad about his death?"

"We tore him down. Shawn and Rudy split Europe between them and continued to grow stronger and stronger."

"Might makes right."

I spoke calmly and casually.

"He used to help us a lot. While it is true that might makes right, we still let him down," Sir concluded.

I suddenly remembered what LG said.

She said their methods were cruel and shady.

Now, Sir was saying they let him down.

Ezekiel once called them brothers...

I repeated Ezekiel's words to Sir, who went silent from shock when he heard that. "He called us brothers?"

"Yes. He said you guys were greedy and wanted his fortune."

Sir went silent in contemplation as determination and regret flashed in his eyes. "Just what happened back then?"

I had a rough idea of what happened back then.

I even believed what Shawn said.

Still, why did Sir specifically say they let him down?

"Back then, Ezekiel was still called Mike Cloud. We met in private several times. However, as you know, how could

anyone in our positions ever truly be friends? We were just being polite. Behind closed doors, we were locked in

games of backstabbing and manipulation. Mike thought it was real though. He particularly admired Shawn and

would always help us."

I knew all that.

"What happened next?" I asked softly.

"Mike had a self-destructive personality. He just wanted to have fun. Someone like him was not suitable for that

position. We came to an agreement to overthrow him. Unfortunately, he did not know... He even spent a lot of

money and pulled a lot of strings just to help Shawn and the others."

"No wonder he said you betrayed him."

"He thought of us as best friends, yet we did not even think of him as one of us. Yes, he had a self-destructive

borderline personality disorder. However, his personality was the naivest of us all. To put it bluntly, we disappointed

him."

He sighed. "His burdens in this lifetime were too heavy for his shoulders. He could only be saved when he was

released from them. However, the source of his release was Shawn, me, and Rudy who was now useless."

Ezekiel had stolen Rudy's power from him.

"In the end, you guys are rivals."

"Yes. I want to kill him, but it's such a pity... After all, we let him down in the first place! Mrs. Xenos, everything is

now a mess. Shawn and I both do not know how to deal with him."

During the day, Shawn said it would be a pity as well...

Ezekiel was quite a hateful yet pitiful man.

"Don't blame yourself too hard, Sir. Where there is a will, there is a way. I don't think Zeke is an unreasonable

villain."

"In his eyes, we are the villains." Frustration was painted all over his face. He shot to his feet as he continued, "He

might not do anything to Shawn for now because of you. He would also not do anything to you, so Shawn can rest

without worry. However, May and I are now in his crosshairs. I am now stuck between a rock and a hard place."

"Why me?" I asked, confused
