A Moment in Destiny

“You’re lying. Didn’t you also work out before? What’s the difference between this and working out? It's hard but it's better than to stay like this, right?" Leila said quickly. But when she met the Arthur’s gaze, her heart throbbed with pain and she parted her face with streaks of tears trickling out. "You're a healthy man, you can't be like this!"

"Leila... Actually, I'm really fine. You don't have to feel guilty; this really has nothing to do with you!" Arthur spoke in a hoarse voice.

Seeing Leila in tears and anxious for him, he also felt pains in his heart.

Leila turned her head to look at him and said seriously, "I don't care if it has anything to do with me or not. Anyway, you have to go to treatment as the doctor said it’s very likely for you to recover, don't give up! I’ve had a plan, if you can’t stand up and walk again, I won’t go back since I’m now working here! If you are willing to waste your time, I can do it too!"

He seemed to have lost a lot of weight. He looked pale and had dark circles under his eyes. It was apparent that he didn’t sleep well.

Arthur stared at Leila's worried face. He gradually calmed down and he felt a bit complicated in his heart.

He didn’t expect Leila to come, nor did he expect Vincent would allow Leila to come!

He was reluctant to go to therapy because he was too guilty. He couldn’t get out of the shadow because Macey died for him. He felt guilty, especially when he thought of Charles, thought of the Hunter family, thought of the dead Macey, and then thought of his own disappointment in love. Thinking of these, he was buried by guilt, his heart was confused and sorrowful.

"Arthur, let's go to the hospital. If you don't want to go back to F City, you can also take the rehabilitation program here!" She would definitely help Arthur to get on his feet in order to make up for him.

With a deep look at Leila, Arthur shook his head. "Leila, please go back, don't worry about my business, okay? I think it’s fine now! I just want to live a quiet life! Understand?"

Leila was stunned. Her tears fell from her eyes immediately and she sobbed until her tone was hard to be heard, "I know why you're like this. It’s because of my sister's death, and you feel indebted. You feel sorry for Charles and my sister if you still live with peace of mind. Also because of your unrequited love and you’re sad. So, you would rather hurt yourself than go to physical therapy. But why? What’s the point for all of this?"

"Leila…" So she knew it all!

Arthur trembled. It turned out that Leila could read his tired and lonely heart.

"But do you know that my sister had desperately wanted to protect you because she hoped that you can live well. You are wasting her life! you should be sorry for my sister, and also your grandaunt. You let her to take care of you at such an old age. How can you be so cruel?" Leila quickly wiped the tears on her face, "You made every one of us suffer, and it hurts to see you like this!
