Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 455

Sitting on the bench in the hospital corridor, Clara felt exhausted. Isaac showed up, reminding her of the past and pushing her to rethink the relationship between Horace and her.

She had already decided that she would forgive Horace and give Neo a family since the kid missed his dad so much and Horace had tried to win over her heart again. But only after then did she realize that she overestimated her resilience. What had happened was like a thorn taking root deep in her heart; it didn't hurt when everything was fine, but once she recalled the past, it would hurt like hell.

If she really came back to Horace, was she able to forget all the things that had happened and lived a happy life with him ever since? Clara doubted it. It would be worse if they broke up once again, which would traumatize their boy.

Taking in a deep breath and heaving out a sigh, Clara felt confounded and had no idea what she should do. So, she gave up thinking since it would do her no good. This should be a decision made by both Horace and her, so it would be better for her to talk to him before making any conclusions.

Clara stood up from the bench and headed to the ward; she wanted to check on Laura to see whether she was awake by now. When she reached the door, she heard Laura's voice, and it seemed that she was talking to someone. Driven by curiosity, Clara didn't enter the ward but peered through the window instead, and she saw Horace was standing in front of Laura's bed while Laura was apologizing to him, crying.

"Horace, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. What happened back then was all my fault. But you have to forgive me. Please, I'm begging you. I promise it won't happen again." Laura grabbed Horace's sleeve, tears pouring out of her eyes.

Horace threw off her hand with resentment and said in a cold voice, "Laura Hutchinson, what a wonderful woman who helped others kidnapping her boyfriend. You made me suffer and for that, I'll never forgive you. You should be glad you are still a patient or you must be in jail right now."

"No! No, you can't do that to me. Horace, please." Clutching on the bedrail, Laura cried miserably. "I'm sorry, Horace. It was…I was out of my mind. I was only thinking about the family, and I just wanted to save my family."

"Yes, so you would rather watch me die!" Laura's explanation made Horace infuriated. There was overt hatred in his voice.

"You think I'll believe you after all these?" Horace started at Laura pitilessly. He would never trust her again.

"Horace, please think about me, okay? I was out of my mind and I didn't know what to do. Just forgive me and I promise it will never happen again." Laura was nearly choked with sobs. "We…we grew up together and we loved each other so much and we were so happy to have each other, Horace. Don't tell me you forget that."

"Stop it!" What Laura said about the past only exacerbated Horace. How dare she said she loved him? She only tricked him like an idiot.

"Laura Hutchinson, it is the most regrettable and foolish thing I have ever done to fall in love with you! If I could roll back the clock, I wish I had never met you!" Glaring at Laura, Horace made himself very clear by saying out loud how he really felt, and by doing this, he also cast the young, naïve love away.
