Love to Hate Me novel Chapter 19

Salina sits on the chair in jail, looking empty. She doesn't notice Luc’s appearance.

“Salina, are you alright? Why did you do that?” Luc asks in deep concern, holding her hands.

“Luc, I...” She sees Luc as a savior, “I, I didn't do anything to her! I didn't!”

“I do believe you, Salina!” Luc answers her fast. “Well, all evidence proved you murdered her, could you tell me why you called her today by the way?”

Salina begins to cry, “It’s Becky, she called me said Nelly got an accident, and asked me to help her! On my way to Nelly, a car rushed out, and hit on mine. I didn't know this would happen, trust me! Someone tricked me here!”

Luc holds her shoulder and comforts, “I believe you, Salina, totally! But you must listen to me carefully, okay?” Salina nods.

“There’s only one way can save you now. We don’t have any evidence for this case. But my lawyer said we might use your disease to get out of here! With me... And you will never come back, can you do that?” Luc persuades. Somehow, Salina sneers, she gets tired with all of this miserable place.

“Whatever, I will die anyway, neither here nor outside...” Salina agreed.

Luc gives her a smile, “Good, thank you for trusting me. Salina, I promise you, I would never let anyone hurt you again! We will get you out of here tonight, be ready!”

On the other side, Becky knows Luc’s plan, “What? You let him out? He also bails Salina?” A tricky smile expresses on her face.

“Yes, Miss, you just need to keep Fabian tonight, then I promise, he will never see Salina again!” A secret voice comes from the other side. She laughs then hears some footsteps, “Becky?!” Fabian is here. She jumps back to her bed, pretending weak...

“Are you okay? I have signed for you, you will be fine soon after the surgery.” He says with sorrow.

Becky opens her eyes and locks on him, “Fabian, you came finally...” She gives him a weak smile.

A man comes up and explains, “Boss, Miss Becky just needs to a small surgery, due to her over-stress in the wedding place, she will be fine. Don’t you worry that much.”

Fabian hears, feeling guilty, “I’m sorry, I shouldn't leave you alone on our wedding. Please forgive me, Becky. Let’s remake our wedding when you recover, I promise you!”

Becky cries, “Ok, I heard, your sister woke up. How’s she now?”

“She, died...” He replies in agony. Becky pretends to be astonished, an unbelievable expression on her face.

“It’s Salina, she killed her!” He says in grief.

During this moment, a doctor walks in, “Miss, your surgery will be on eleven this evening.” Becky nods and lures to Fabian, “Honey, please don’t leave me again... Stay with me okay?”

He promises her this time, “Ok, I will stay here after your surgery!” He can’t lose one more person in his life. He kisses her forehead gently.

At the airport, Luc and Salina wait for their plane.

“Here you go, your ticket, Salina.” Luc says nicely. Salina nods and looks outside the bid window, she seems sad.

“My doctor said I wouldn't survive for three months, so I guess I wouldn't be able to come back here again.”

Luc feels sympathy and hugs her tight into his arms. “Idiot... I will treat you there, we will have a chance to be back here when everything’s better.”

“Thanks, Luc.” She feels appreciated. “Fabian, goodbye...” She murmurs to herself.

Sooner or later, it’s their time to boarding... They hold their hands and disappear in the departure lounge.

In the hospital, Fabian walks round and round, waiting outside of the surgery room...
