Dylan's face, which was originally cool and handsome, was now full of panic.
He didn't know why Tina was here.
When did she come? How much had she overheard?
In fact, Dylan's plan had been going on smoothly.
He even had another plan. As long as Tina agreed with the marriage, he could persuade the whole family to go to a foreign country with the excuse of Aspry's health preservation. After that, the whole family could immigrate to that country. When they all left this city, no one would be able to intervene in their private affairs. In that case, he would have a very good chance to repair his relationship with Tina.
Dylan always dreamed of having a new start with Tina.
He eagerly wanted to get back everything he lost in the past.
This was his obsession.
However, Dylan never expected that Tina would incidentally overhear the conversation between the attending doctor and him. Moreover, judging from Tina's appearance, Dylan realized that she must have overheard everything.
Dylan felt that it was all over.
Tina threw the medicine box in her hand violently at Dylan, turned around, and leave the office.
The medicine box bounced off his body and fell onto the ground. Dylan felt as if his face had been slapped by Tina.
He felt burning hot on his face.
Dylan chased after Tina stiffly.
He barred the way in front of Tina and behaved like a helpless child. "Tina, wait for me... Please listen to my explanation!"
Tina halted her steps and said, "Okay... Explain it, then!"
The corners of her lips curled up into a cold smile.
There was no warmth in his clear eyes. She just looked at him coldly, as if she could see through his soul.
Dylan opened his mouth. "I..."
He felt as if his tongue weighed a thousand pounds, and he couldn't make a sound.
It was because he had no way of defending himself against the fact.
Tina said coldly, "Dylan, you know that I have always been grateful to your father, and therefore you took advantage of this. I really hadn't thought you would do such a despicable thing. It's too shameless!"
She actually felt a chilly on her back.
Tina used to feel deeply sorry for Aspry's illness.
Every time she thought about the fact that Aspry would leave this world soon, she felt very sad. She didn't know what else she could do to repay Aspry's kindness.
Who would have expected that all of this turned out to be a conspiracy?
Moreover, it was a well-planned conspiracy.
As Tina thought about his conspiracy, she became more and more furious.
Dylan lowered his head and dared not look into her eyes. "Tina, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I'm such a dirty and despicable..."
Tina said, "Of course, you are a despicable person. You conspired with the doctor and asked him to deliberately produce a false diagnosis. You caused your father to think that he was terminally ill and had not much time left. In order to fulfill his last wish, I had to pretend to agree to the marriage arrangement! Dare you say it's not like this?"
"Yes..." Dylan dared not deny it. "Dad is actually fine now. It's just a heart problem. He hadn't unfortunately fallen victim to cancer. Sorry... Tina, I lied to you! But it was all because I wanted to be with you!"
There was an air of coldness and determination in Tina's eyes. "I have already made it very clear. We can't go back! As for uncle, you can explain everything to him yourself!"
Dylan tried to grab Tina's wrist.
"Let go of me!" Tina shook him off.
She looked up at him, and her voice was as cold as an ice cellar. "Dylan Koo, I've never thought you're such a person!"
Dylan's body became completely stiff, and he was gasping for air, as if his neck was strangled by invisible hands.
Tina no longer wanted to face him. She turned around and strode into the elevator.
Neither Tina nor Dylan had noticed that there was a slender figure hiding in the shadows of the exit passageway next to them.
Tina almost rushed out of the hospital building.
She was desperate at that time.
After staying at home and leading a meaningless life for a long period of time, Selene chose to go outside of her home again.
She heard that As pry was seriously ill recently, and therefore she bought a fruit basket and came over here. She didn't want to give up completely. She wanted to create a chance for herself.
Selene gazed at Tina concentratedly.
Unlike before, there was no sign of jealousy and resentment in Selene's eyes now. It looked as if Selene had finally seen through Tina's personality today. "Tina, are you really not planning to be with Dylan?"
"Of course!" Tina nodded.
Selene was stunned. "Then why didn't you explain to us at the beginning?"
Tina replied indifferently, "If I explained it to you, would you believe me?"
Selene didn't say anything,"..."
It was true. Even if Tina had explained it to her, she would still not trust Tina. She would only think that Tina was more hypocritical than expected.
Selene was deep in thought for a few seconds before she finally made up her mind and lowered her head. "Tina, I want to apologize to you! Although it's been a long time since you were kidnapped, I still want to sincerely say 'sorry' to you again!"
Tina said, "You have already apologized to me in the ward at that time!"
Selene smiled guiltily. "My cousin forced me to apologize to you. My apology wasn't sincere enough at that time!"
Tina couldn't help but smile when she heard Selene's confession.
She seemed to have suddenly realized the bright side of this young lady.
Although she was arrogant and had a bad temper, yet she was not without merits. At least, she was straightforward, and would not be hypocritical while associating with others.
Selene raised her chin and said seriously, "I have to repeat myself: I'm sorry! I was not considerate enough at the beginning. My original intention was to scare you and vent out my anger, but I never thought of hurting you. Although I was somewhat reckless at that time, I still firmly believe that I'm a civilized human being!"
"Of course you are!" Tina was amused.
After that, Selene left in a hurry with the fruit basket in her arms.
