A Moment in Destiny

She buried her head deeply into her arms. Her voice was muffled but firm, whimpering slightly. He was able to imagine just how much pain she was in.

He then saw the bright red bloodstain on her hand but remained still. He then looked at the broken goblet and immediately realized what had happened.

“I know you are sad and I understand what you feel. But if you don’t tell me then how can I help you? I want to help you but you never give me the chance to. I’m getting tired of it! Vincent, you have a son now so you can’t be letting so many people down. You can’t be causing harm upon your son just for revenge.”

He said nothing! But after a while, he knelt and tried to hold her up.

Leila raised her eyes a little fearful but when her tear-stained face looked directly at his eyes. She could see a trace of worry in his eyes.

Leila felt some relief at the moment. She then turned her face away but as she began to calm, she felt that she was still crying.

Vincent’s anger suddenly vanished and his heart began to melt. His originally cold voice also sounded gentler without him even realizing, “If you are tired then go to sleep! You need to stop crying.”

Once he had put her onto the bed, he took off his suit, threw it onto the sofa, then took off his tie and made a phone call. Not too long after he brought over some supplies to stop the bleeding, he then took her hand and used some alcohol solution to help her disinfect the wound.

Leila was shocked. Laying there motionless, she felt some stinging pain from the alcohol solution on her wound.

“Stay strong, it will hurt a bit, but if we don’t do this then it will get infected!” He said and then helped her press a cotton ball over the wound. However, she felt a stinging pain on her wound and wanted to take her hand away but he held on tighter. She wanted to cry.

“There’s no need to clean this wound!”

“If you don’t disinfect the wound then it will get infected!”

“It hurts too much!” Leila was afraid of the pain and felt that disinfecting the wound hurt more than the actual wound.

“This isn’t even meant to hurt that much!” He said, “You really can’t handle this little amount of pain?”

Leila was in a daze. His words struck her slightly. Was she really unable to bear such a small amount of pain?

He washed the bloodstains off with the alcohol and then touched the mark on her wrist and was startled slightly, “What is this?”

Leila was shocked. As she thought about the kidnapping, she decided not to say anything.

“What happened? Please answer my question!”

“I hurt myself by accident!” Leila was afraid to say what had happened as if she told Vincent that someone was forcing her to divorce him then it would be even harder to get divorced.

She still didn’t know what that person wanted but for a time she felt very miserable. Vincent would use her to give vent to his anger, same with what happened to her sister, and even strangers bullied her. It really seemed that this was her fate, and now all she could do was to just accept this.

“You did this to yourself?” Vincent raised his eyebrows suspiciously. This was clearly the mark of a rope so he knew she was lying.

“Yes.” Feeling guilty, she lowered her head and didn’t dare to speak anymore for fear that she would end up revealing everything.

Vincent’s gaze suddenly sharpened and as he looked at her clear eyes and pale lips under her straight nose. He could tell that she was hiding something.
