A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 360

In a trance, she wanted to draw back her hand, but unexpectedly, her waist tightened and a smell of male scent rushed straight to her nose.

Leila was shocked as he was awake!

Her eyes abruptly widened when she saw Vincent’s face who had just woken up. He looked a bit sleepy but still, he looked charismatic and was displaying lazy sexiness.

His pupils enlarged and he pursed his thin lips. He gazed at Leila coldly and remained still.

Leila was stunned for a moment. She blinked her eyes and hurriedly tried to break away from his warm embrace.

“Little liar, where are you running to?” Vincent smiled evilly. Smiling, he then pounced on Leila and kissed her lips.

Leila was instantly shocked, “Don’t…”

Meanwhile, he did not stop kissing her.

She could feel his soft lips vividly.

She felt dizzy as if she lost her strength. She flushed and breathed heavily. When he reached out and touched her lightly, he said hoarsely, “Good morning!”

He said and kissed her forehead before releasing her.

Leila was very stunned as he already got up and walked to the bathroom. She looked at his tall figure walking into the bathroom and stroked her lips, which were already red and swollen after being kissed by him. Her face quietly flushed.

She felt better after going through a high fever as she slept all night. She finally could bathe. She took a hot shower and came out under Vincent’s repeated reminders.

She wrapped her hair in a towel when she went out. She was startled to see Vincent waiting at the door with a hair dryer ready. “What are you doing?”

“Help you dry your hair! Or else you might get a fever again after catching a cold!” Vincent pulled her and made her sit in front of the dresser to help her dry her hair.

Leila felt uneasy treated by him like this, “I can do it myself!”

“Don’t move!” Vincent stopped her. “Let your husband help you coil your hair!”

Coiling my hair!?

Coiling my hair, can a hairpin coil my hair? Putting deep knots of love and keeping the deep love between one pair of couples for their entire life. She sighed inwardly. How could a woman find such a man who willingly knitted their love together? A man who would not leave the woman, and they would support each other until old age and not have resentment. Just like what the man promised in front of the priest, regardless of life or death, no matter they had poverty or diseases, he would not leave the woman and they would love each other forever?

It seemed that she could not do those things! Did it mean that she should bear all the aggravation if she loved him?

The hair dryer was powered on and the whirring wind hid the thoughts of Leila. She lowered her head and did not speak. After a while, she raised her eyes and glanced at him. There was a gentle smile on his handsome face. He was concentrating on drying her hair.

After her hair was dried, the hair dryer was turned off. She whispered, “Let’s go to visit Pippa?!”

Vincent drove Leila to the hospital after they had their breakfast.

After getting off the car, they strolled forward side by side.

Leila left her small hand at her side and she felt he held her hands suddenly.

The way he held her fingers was intimate, making her feel anxious when she felt the temperature of his palm. She took a side glance at him and found that he was also taking a side glance at her. His thin lips opened lightly, “Today is the first day that we start our relationship! Please focus!”

She was stunned and froze.

He smiled and walked towards the VIP ward, holding her hand.

Leila lowered her head and looked at their hands. Was this what it felt like to be in love? In the lift, he held her hand and supported her with his other hand, protecting her from the others, in an ambiguous and warm position.

In the ward in the morning.

It was very quiet. The cleaners had finished cleaning the ward early.

Along with the morning sunlight, Pippa finally opened her eyes slowly.

“Pippa? You’re awake?” Miyamoto called her in a low voice. His voice was mixed with surprise and nervousness. His eyes were full of blood, showing that he did not sleep all night, just to keep vigil the whole night at her bedside.

When she heard Miyamoto’s voice, she knew that she hadn’t died again! She turned around sadly and felt some bitterness in her heart. She turned out to be in this cold world and could not escape from Miyamoto’s hand.

She thought that she would die no matter what and she would never be as lucky as last time! Why was it that every time she was desperate and wanted to die, but every time she really couldn’t die? Was it so hard to even die?

She didn’t want to say a word. She just turned around, with tears in her eyes slipping out quietly…

“Pippa!!!” Miyamoto could see the downcast look in her gaze. The expression on his face suddenly turned abnormally annoyed. He grabbed her shoulders tightly and wrenched her body over. His eyes flashed with fluctuating emotions, “What the hell do you want?”

“I don’t want to see you!” Pippa interrupted Miyamoto coldly. “I don’t want to see you again!”

“Are you hungry?” Ignoring her cold tone, Miyamoto said straightforwardly. “I’ll call someone to bring you some food!”

“No need!” She replied indifferently. In fact, she did not want to talk with him at this moment.

Her wrist was wrapped in thick gauze and a drip was fed into her vein. She raised her eyes to watch the drip dripping in, showing an incomparable pallid mournfulness in her eyes.

Miyamoto couldn’t stand her attitude of defying him.

His tall body fiercely hugged her in his arms, and his hawk-like eyes stared straight into her silent pupils, “Pippa, you are so heartless. Do you want to leave me so badly? Don’t you even care about Owen? Are you still a woman? Can you still be considered a mother? Does a woman like you deserve to be a mother?”

“I don’t deserve it! I didn’t even want to give birth to him. It was you! You raped me!” Pippa roared in a low voice, with a trembling tone.

“Humph! I raped you?” Miyamoto’s face instantly turned gloomy and cold. His voice was as cold and piercing as Satan’s, with a touch of horror. He said word by word, “You said that night that it was me who raped you?! Pippa, do you dare to say that you were not in love that night? You didn’t fall in love with me? You refused to face the truth for six years. Do you think Vincent would like you? You can only stay with me. If you faced the truth, I would not have treated you like this! It was you who forced me to become so cold! It was you, who forced me to be like this now!”

“Get lost!” Pippa seemed a little annoyed by what he said. “No matter what you say, I don’t love you. I have never been in love with you. I just want to leave you, even if it means death. I will leave you!”

“Pippa, you want to make me angry so that you are satisfied, right?” Miyamoto fiercely held her jaw, with an instant burst of anger, roaring with fury. His hand was trembling as he was fearful of losing her. How could she ignore his heart like this? He was only in love with her! Was it wrong to love someone?

Miyamoto, are you afraid?” Pippa gritted her teeth and looked at her angrily, shouting coldly, “I don’t love you! I don’t love you! I don’t love you even if I must die!”

“I know!” He suddenly lowered his tone. It was barely audible and his facial muscles were twitching. His eyes burst with a cold aura of painful hatred. His handsome face did not show a single trace of blood. “I know you never loved me! It was always me who made a fool of myself!”

Pippa’s heart throbbed for a moment after hearing his voice. Her tears slipped unstoppably from her eyes. “Miyamoto, please let me go. There’s no way I’ll ever love you. Is it interesting for you to force and torture me like this now? If you do like this, you are just possessing a soulless shell, a woman who would never love you.

“Do you think I still care? Pippa, how dare you ignore me! Even if I can’t have your heart, I want you to stay by my side and never leave for the rest of your life!” He suddenly got on the bed, rolled over, and pinned her underneath him, roughly ripping her clothes off as he nibbled on her skin. Watching her in pain and discomfort from his torture, his lips curled into a bloodthirsty and cruel smile. His desire to own her and ravage her made him go crazy and even want to eat her!

A sudden knock on the door broke Miyamoto’s next movement. Frowning, he abruptly stopped and got out of her bed.

Pippa sighed in relief and bit her lower lip hard, trying not to cry. He was a devil, and she would never love him. The one she loved had always been Vincent who was gentle and affectionate.

The door opened. Vincent and Leila walked in.

Pippa’s eyes burst into tears, perhaps it was because she saw Vincent. Pouting, she called him, “Vincent…”

Vincent did not go too close to her. His hand was holding Leila’s small hand, who was standing right in front of her bed. He sighed and said, “Pippa, what do you want me to say about you? You’re really too selfish!”

Pippa was shocked, whimpering and covering her mouth. She looked at Vincent with an agitated expression. Did Vincent say she was selfish?

“You can abandon anyone, but how can you abandon your five-year-old son? Don’t you feel sorry for him? He was such a lovely child. When he was born, you deprived him of his father’s love, and now you even want to deprive him of his mother’s love. You are really too selfish. You are the most cold-blooded and selfish woman in this world among the women I know!” Vincent’s voice was still warm when he spoke to Pippa, but there was a distant coldness in his words because Pippa should never have dumped Owen and tried to commit suicide.

“I’m selfish? I’m selfish!” Pippa did not expect Vincent to question her like this, and it was after she had just woken up. Finally, when she saw Vincent’s hand holding Leila’s hand, her eyes instantly turned gloomy and tears welled up in her eyes.

Seeing her crying like this, Leila began to pity Pippa, and also Miyamoto who was standing by the bed with bloodshot eyes.

When Vincent saw Pippa in tears, his tone did not soften, “Isn’t a mother who doesn’t want her child selfish? Isn’t a mother who keeps on thinking of killing herself and abandoning her son over and over again, just to repair her broken heart selfish? This man is wrong. He shouldn’t have done this to you, but have you tried? Why didn’t you try to make him treat you well instead of abusing you like this? Pippa, what kind of life do you really want?”

Hearing what he had said, more tears rolled down her cheeks. She shook her head stubbornly. His frail countenance showed a sense of grievance as if she was bullied. “Am I selfish? Am I very selfish? Vincent…”

She was asking the sentence repeatedly, as if asking someone else, and as if asking herself. Owen’s tender little face flashed in her mind. She felt like she owed her son so much.

Miyamoto stood beside her bed, remaining silent. Looked at Pippa on the bed, he asked himself, what exactly he had fallen in love with her for? Her charisma? Her beauty? Or was it something else? Had he fallen in love with the wrong woman?!
