"Strained?"
Forrest laughed. "Am I the one who wants it to be this way? Jessica, you should know it better than anyone else. You're too cruel. After returning to Australia back then, what did you promise me? You said you'd let me propose our marriage to your parents after some time. However, I waited and waited. In the end, you broke u p with me before you got married to another man.
"Never mind that, why did you switch my sister's medicine? After she got pregnant, you even threatened her with the Lynch family's matters. You did not allow her to get an abortion and had her marry your useless brother. How had all of you Snow family members hurt and betrayed Freya? She has always been doted on in our family since young. The Snow family destroyed everything.
"If you have even a sliver of conscience, or if you even have a trace of guilt toward me, you wouldn't have hurt my sister like that. What's done is done and can't be reversed, do you know that?"
Jessica clenched her hands that were under the blanket. Her pretty face was as pale as snow with a bitter and painful expression. "Forrest, switching your sister's medicine was the biggest mistake of my life. I
was selfish. I thought that after the Lynch and Snow families were brought together, I would be able to... meet you..."
"I see." Forrest looked like he had heard the most absurd joke in the world. He laughed out loud until his eyes reddened. "That means I was the one who harmed Freya. If I could do everything again, I f*cking wish that I never met you overseas back then. Me getting to know you is the Lynch family’s greatest misfortune."
He put on his clothes after he spoke. Then, he slammed the door and left.
Behind him, Jessica's chin was raised haughtily, but tears were falling from the corners of her eyes.
In her world, her head could not be lowered even if she was crying.
Forrest exited the suite in a daze. After he got in the car, he buried his head in his knees in agony.
His phone rang. It was Freya.
"Brother, are you awake?"
