After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 212

Chapter 212 Being Contemptible

Everyone inside the ward was being too astonished to make a comment because of Manuel. As taciturn as Manuel had always been, never had they expected that such astonishing words would actually burst out of his mouth.

"Manuel, Susan didn't mean to do that. Don't you think your request is being too contemptible?" Henry huffed with a livid face.

Manuel stared at him. He didn't seem to change his mind. Then he continued frankly, "Back into the old days, you also took her away from me."

"What are you talking about? Susan and I truly love each other. Your so-called relationship with her only relied on your own wishful thinking!" Henry shouted.

"No…"

When Manuel was about to refute, Susan suddenly interrupted, "Listen, I have no feelings for you! And I had made it clear to you tonight! Manuel, I don't even like you. Why are you pushing me? Stop making yourself disgusting!"

Obviously, Susan was with the side of Henry. Manuel lowered his head, looking upset. In the eyes of others, he would probably compromise again just as usual. No matter how upset he felt, he never went against others' will.

The next second, he continued with a bitter smile, "I have lost my right leg. Don't you think you gotta compensate for it?"

"Susan didn't mean it. If it weren't because of you quarreling with her tonight, she wouldn't have pushed you away. You are partly responsible for that! How could you blame it on her all alone in a way like that?"

"Because I love her. I don't want her to marry you." Manuel stressed out his words to answer.

"No, I won't agree." Susan stared at him coldly, her eyes filled with hate. Her sympathy and pain had both dissipated a second ago.

She used to hate Manuel just because of his identity, his excellency, based on which she often got compared with and found it annoying. But now she hated him from both the inside and outside.

"I can do anything to compensate for your loss even including cutting off one of my legs, but never will I marry you! Never!" at the edge of breakdown, Susan screamed out.

Silent, Manuel fixed his eyes on her. He noticed the pain brought by his request was hidden within her eyes.

His attitude softened a bit. He looked away and said, "You maliciously pushed me to the road with the knowing that there would be cars running toward me. And that caused the accident tonight, which led to the disability of my right leg. I am gonna call the cops."

Susan sneered as if she heard of something ridiculous. Manuel was gonna threaten her with the cost of imprisonment.

She shed angry tears while questioning, "Manuel, could you stop your dirty tricks?"

Manuel responded with silence. So did everyone around, including Hannah.

Staring at Manuel, Hannah used to deem him despicable back into her previous life, whom she found no longer kind and pure. Because of what he said at that moment, she used to stay away from him and disdain him together with Susan. However, at this moment, she finally realized Manuel's reason to make such a 'despicable' request.

She truly felt sorry for this man.
