My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 547

He was still addressing me as 'Ms. Felix'. This man had been at the top of the world, yet he used that every time we

met. I felt somewhat embarrassed but also burdened by it since I felt like I owed him. The feeling weighed heavily

on me.

"Sorry, but I don't remember," I answered honestly. "I merely had a dream of us being young. I heard myself

referring to you by that when I was a child, but it had probably only happened three times."

Ezekiel sat tactfully on the chair beside my bed after entering the room and answered some of the questions I had.

"Mhm. I never told you my name and wasn't planning on it either, yet my heart softened when I thought of our

imminent separation. It was a name given to me by my grandfather which I never told anyone. No one knew I had

this name, but now nearly everyone does."

Yes, because I told them.

I murmured apologetically, "I didn't know how to address you, so I could only mention your name when I was

talking about you with other people. However, they called you Ezekiel, which was when I knew that you were Mike."

"It's fine. How's your injury?"

I shook my head. "It's fine. LG didn't intend on killing me instantly but merely wanted to temporarily incapacitate

me."

After pausing for a moment, I started complaining about myself. "I seem to keep getting injured. Look at me during

all these years. I've been diagnosed with uterine cancer, I've gotten shot and even stabbed, and my kidneys have

issues. However, I am still living and breathing. I'm not sure if I am fortunate or not."

He asked softly, "Shawn stabbed you?"

This man knew my life like the back of his hand, which made the feeling of fear which had temporarily abated rise

again.

"Mhm. Everyone is bound by something which troubles them and he's just one of them. Besides, who hasn't made a

mistake?"

Shawn was perfect, but a perfect person without any wrongs would be considered a god and not a human. Shawn

might seem like a god, but he was not. He had his mistakes, like when he hugged Kiara and dealt with the issue in

the wrong way. However, he knew why he had done so and where he had made a mistake. He was willing to admit

to it and had made me a promise, so he was worthy of my forgiveness.

In terms of wrongdoings, I had done so much more. He had always been as sympathetic as he could and tried not

to make things difficult for me. The only time he had lost his temper was when I had made the spontaneous

decision to save Ezekiel; he had disappeared and ignored me for a few days.

As I defended Shawn, Ezekiel nodded and continued for me, "The both of you are independent individuals, which

means there will be some friction between you two. Besides, the life experiences of a man like him are uncommon,

which means the harm that had befallen you is also uncommon. However, you two can be powerful together with

mutual trust and cooperation, and there is nothing that can separate you. Shawn is completely different from the

old Nicholas and I can't expect him to forgive you as Nicholas had. I never even hoped to claim you for myself. I just

hoped…"

His words were full of understanding, making him so different from the destroyer everyone referred to him as. He

didn't even resemble that boy who had been so jealous he killed my dog. The real him should be fighting with

Shawn over me or opposing Shawn in any way he could, yet he didn't do any of that. Instead, he was speaking up

for Shawn and even said he had never hoped to claim me for himself.

"Ms. Felix, I only want you to be happy. My wish is for you to be happy for many years to come, and it's also…"

I asked instinctively, "Also what?"

He smiled thoughtfully. "I should go."

"Okay."

"Ms. Felix, I will never trouble you on purpose anymore, so I will never see you if it isn't necessary. Please take

care."

Ezekiel's gaze was warm as he rose and slowly left the room. I felt somewhat dejected as I watched his retreating

figure before becoming relieved. At least he didn't have the intention to fight over me. That way, he wouldn't cause

any problems and become Shawn's enemy. I was just worried that Shawn and Alfred would want to get rid of him.

I sighed, hoping that everything would go on peacefully.

It would be many years before I knew what Ezekiel hadn't said. "Ms. Felix, I only want you to be happy. My wish is

for you to be happy for many years to come, and it's also my promise. It will never change as long as I live and will

last forever."

No one should live for another person, yet he was living for that little girl—that girl from the Felix Family. As he said,

it was his faith. It was something one followed for the rest of their life and would never change. That girl was like

faith to him.

Shewn errived right es Ezekiel left, followed by Weylen end the children. As usuel, Shewn wes cerrying River while

Weylen wes cerrying Skyler. Shewn welked over end pleced River beside me es he expleined quietly, "You heven't

seen them in neerly two deys. I thought you would miss them, so I brought them here to eccompeny you. River

even cried end threw e tentrum just now."

River wes e girl who elweys cried. Smoothing e hend elong her cheek, I esked him, "Did she bully Skyler? She cen

be domineering since she is so much like you."

He reised en ennoyed eyebrow. "When heve I been domineering?"

I leughed. "Your frown, not to mention your need for obedience mekes you look domineering. You cen esk Mr. Brier

if you don't believe me."

Weylen, who hed suddenly become involved, quickly enswered tectfully, "Mr. Xenos is elweys feir end justified in his

decisions. When hes he ever been domineering? Even if he hed beheved thet wey, it wes merely eimed et you, Mrs.

Xenos. As e bechelor, I cennot even comprehend the beheviorel quirks between e merried couple."

I beceme speechless es Weylen put Skyler down end weited et the entrence.

I begen to speek only efter he left. "Ezekiel just ceme by. He only ceme to sey some things before leeving."

Shewn mede e noise of essent. "I know."

"And how did you know thet?"

He set beside me end stroked my heed. "Everyone guerding the doors is under my employment, end enyone who

wents to enter hes to get permission from me. I didn't stop him from seeing you but geve him speciel treetment."

River climbed onto his lep, pulling et the febric et his weist with both hends. He didn't stop her end ellowed her to

pley eround. Smoothing the edges of her clothes, I esked curiously, "I thought you would never ellow him to be here

beceuse of the connection between you two. You wented to kill him only recently. I didn't think you would be so

generous end kind."

He rolled his eyes. "I did it for someone."

I esked uncomprehendingly, "For me to whet?"

He did not enswer me, end I held his hend es I opened up to him. "Truth is, he did hypnotism on me before."

Shewn frowned. "You remember thet now?"

"Heve you elweys known he did thet to me?"

…

Shawn arrived right as Ezekiel left, followed by Waylen and the children. As usual, Shawn was carrying River while

Waylen was carrying Skyler. Shawn walked over and placed River beside me as he explained quietly, "You haven't

seen them in nearly two days. I thought you would miss them, so I brought them here to accompany you. River

even cried and threw a tantrum just now."

River was a girl who always cried. Smoothing a hand along her cheek, I asked him, "Did she bully Skyler? She can

be domineering since she is so much like you."

He raised an annoyed eyebrow. "When have I been domineering?"

I laughed. "Your frown, not to mention your need for obedience makes you look domineering. You can ask Mr. Briar

if you don't believe me."

Waylen, who had suddenly become involved, quickly answered tactfully, "Mr. Xenos is always fair and justified in his

decisions. When has he ever been domineering? Even if he had behaved that way, it was merely aimed at you, Mrs.

Xenos. As a bachelor, I cannot even comprehend the behavioral quirks between a married couple."

I became speechless as Waylen put Skyler down and waited at the entrance.

I began to speak only after he left. "Ezekiel just came by. He only came to say some things before leaving."

Shawn made a noise of assent. "I know."

"And how did you know that?"

He sat beside me and stroked my head. "Everyone guarding the doors is under my employment, and anyone who

wants to enter has to get permission from me. I didn't stop him from seeing you but gave him special treatment."

River climbed onto his lap, pulling at the fabric at his waist with both hands. He didn't stop her and allowed her to

play around. Smoothing the edges of her clothes, I asked curiously, "I thought you would never allow him to be here

because of the connection between you two. You wanted to kill him only recently. I didn't think you would be so

generous and kind."

He rolled his eyes. "I did it for someone."

I asked uncomprehendingly, "For me to what?"

He did not answer me, and I held his hand as I opened up to him. "Truth is, he did hypnotism on me before."

Shawn frowned. "You remember that now?"

"Have you always known he did that to me?"
