Purchased A Mr. Right

Dylan... We can't go back...

In the corridor outside of the ward...

After Isla went away, there were only Tina and Dylan left.

Dylan stood under the shadow created by the window and wall, and he looked as stiff as a rock that had gone through many years of winds and rains.

He looked very haggard indeed.

He seemed to be several years older than he was. His lips were covered with a little bit of dried skin, and his eyes were red because of the lack of good rest.

Dylan opened his mouth. "Tina..."

His voice was hoarse beyond recognition.

Yesterday, after Dylan left the hospital yesterday, he did two things.

The first thing was to investigate the truth of the tragic incident which occurred five years ago.

Most of the servants in the Koo family had worked there for many years, especially an old servant. This old servant had served Lilith since she married into the Koo family.

The servants in the house all kept quiet about it, but under the pressure of their young master, they had to reveal the truth more or less. Dylan learned that five years ago, it was Lilith who invited Tina out on the excuse of negotiating with her the night before the two of them were supposed to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register for their marriage certificate.

After that, Dylan talked to Aspry.

From his father, Dylan learned that it was not because Tina wanted to sever her ties with the Koo family mercilessly five years ago.

She was actually driven away from the Koo family for her pregnancy before marriage. Lilith blamed Tina for damaging the Koo family's reputation.

When Aspry talked about such things that happened a long time ago, he was very disappointed.

In fact, he was also very remorseful. He was so angry back then that he said some very harsh words to Tina. Moreover, he didn't adamantly oppose his wife's decision to drive Tina away from the Koo family. Even if Tina had done something wrong, as her adoptive father, Aspry should have been more considerate to Tina, and been more prudent not to be cheated by others easily.

In the end, Dylan learned about all the details of this tragic incident.

He felt as if a bucket of icy water had been poured down from his head. The muscles all over his body tightened, and his face was almost twitching.

His heart was full of sorrow.

The second thing Dylan did was to talk to Selene, his fiancee.

Dylan took two steps forward. "Tina, I'm sorry!"

His voice was as hoarse as a piece of iron sheet that had been grounded by iron coarse sandpaper.

Tina's lips moved slightly.

The next second, he suddenly pulled her into his arms.

Dylan seemed to have exerted all his strength, and he was even trembling.

He murmured in the same hoarse voice, "Tina, I'm sorry! I know everything now. I'm sorry, sorry for that..."

He repeated it over and over again.

Tina's heart was as emotionless as a block of wood. She didn't know how to express her own feeling.

She struggled slightly, but failed to break away from his embrace. She felt his body trembling and knew that he must be very emotional at the moment.

Tina sighed. "Dylan, please let go of me first..."

However, Dylan didn't let go of her.

He once let go of her five years ago, and he had thus suffered for five years.

He couldn't let go of her this time.

For so many years, Dylan had in fact never been able to let go of the fact that Tina used to be his lover.

He had always thought that Tina was a ruthless and merciless girl who only played tricks with him and even betrayed him. She tortured him as if he was a toy that could be discarded at any moment. However, the truth turned out to be...

Dylan hugged Tina tightly. "I already knew what had happened five years ago, and the reason why you didn't show up in the Civil Affairs Bureau to register for our marriage! What I hate most now is myself! I didn't even know anything about it. I just thought that I was the victim, that you had betrayed me..."

Now he knew that his dear Tina was not that kind of person.

She might not love him, but she would never do such merciless things to him.

Dylan always remembered the desperation he felt after he had waited at the Civil Affairs Bureau for a day and a night. But how could he know the pain and suffering she was going through at the same time? Now, when Dylan thought of the fact that he had cursed Tina for her supposedly-existing betrayal before, he felt very regretful for those awful words he said.

Hot tears welled up in Dylan's eyes. "Tina, why were you so stupid? Why didn't you tell me the truth? Why did you admit everything when there was a misunderstanding between us? If I hadn't come to the hospital yesterday and accidentally overheard the truth, how long would you hide it from me?"

The warm, or even hot tears flowed down to Tina's collar.

Tina felt embarassed.

The same feeling of helplessness and sadness five years ago gradually surged up in her mind.

There seemed to be a misty fog rising up in front of her eyes.

Tina said, "If possible, I don't want you to know it for the rest of my life."

She was telling the truth.

How could she tell him the truth five years ago?

Why should she tell him about it now?

"That will be cruel to me!" Dylan was frightened.

If he didn't know about the truth, he would hate her for the rest of his life.

That way, even if he died, he would not

forgive himself for making such a foolish mistake.

Five years... The two of them had been separated for five years.

Hot tears almost blurred Dylan's facial features. "Tina, I'll take back everything I lost! From now on, no matter who Isla s biological father is, I'll treat her as my own. If you want, we can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau now and fulfill the vow we failed to fulfill five years ago.

Let me take care of you and your daughter so that we can forget about those unhappy things... And let us be together again!"

Tina gradually became unhappy.

She raised her head, and the sunlight outside the window shone into her eyes.

It was a little painful at the beginning.

Gradually, the mist fog was turned into liquid and slowly slid down from the corners of his eyes.

Tina closed her eyes and said in a low voice, "Dylan, I'm sorry... But we can't go back..."

There was a sense of firmness in her words, as if she was telling a solid fact that no one could argue.

Dylan's expression froze, and he felt as if there was a boulder sinking into his heart.

The two of them seemed to be fixed on where they were in the corridor.

Their shadows on the ground were lengthened.

They were just like the hero and heroine in a movie, who had reunited after many years of separation.

When the nurses or family members of the other patients passed by and saw this scene, they didn't want to interrupt or disturb them. They just passed by the other side of the corridor.

Tina and Dylan were both caught up in their hopeless and sorrowful past. What they didn't notice was that in the direction of the elevator not far away, a man and a little girl were holding each other's hands, standing there, and looking straight at them.

Isla was very happy when she suddenly met Wilson downstairs.

She acted like a spoiled child in front of her Domineering CEO, and forgot all about capturing butterflies, etc.

After some time, Wilson said that he wanted to go upstairs to say "hello" to her mother. Isla agreed with pleasure.

Then, the two of them took the elevator upstairs and walked to the ward.

Wilson was wearing a black suit today, and there were some slight wrinkles on his cuffs.

He looked like a travel-worn man who had just got off the plane.

He had handsome facial features, as well as a tall and straight figure. His suit outlined his broad shoulders and long legs. He stood there just like a movie star.

The women nearby couldn't resist his personal charisma, and they all looked at him admirably.

However, Wilson looked only at one point.

Isla s small figure was next to him, while her small hand was held by his palm.

After seeing the scene in the corridor, Isla shook Wilson's big hand. "Domineering CEO, is it my Mom? Is she hugging a handsome man there?"

The sunshine in June was warm and comfortable, and it shone on Wilson's body, yet he was now like an iceberg that had not melted for thousands of years. "Yes!" Wilson replied.
