Need You Now novel Chapter 98

As soon as she left the ward, she cried out and wiped her tears away. She didn't want to cry, but the tears fell down uncontrollably. Thinking of what she had just heard from Hearst, she was on the verge of collapse.

Everyone was indifferent to her in the hospital. The passers-by only cast a glance at her and did not do anything else. She walked out of the hospital building in this way and the dazzling sunshine shone on her. Heidy shouted, "Hearst, you bastard!"

Then she hung her hands down feebly. She sat on the stair directly. She was not in the mood to care about her image. Tears kept flowing. Though she felt her eyes hurt, she still couldn't control the despair in her heart.

Yesterday, she told herself hopefully not to give up. But today, when she heard that Hearst wanted to take revenge on the Hua Group, she almost gave up. She didn't expect that his hatred for her had been so strong, which was enough to destroy her will to fight.

Just as she released her feelings awkwardly, a tissue suddenly appeared in front of her. Heidy slowly raised her head. When she saw the smile on Hugh' face, she was stunned for a moment. "Why are you here?"

Hugh squatted down and handed her the tissue. He smiled and said, "Wipe it, it's ugly enough."

Heidy took the tissue and wiped her face carelessly. Then she said with self-mockery, "You must think that I'm embarrassed."

He squatted down beside her and looked at the same view with her. Hugh still smiled and said, "Yes, it is very embarrassing. When I first met you, I thought you were a strong, brave and quiet girl. But later, I found that you also need care."

Wiping away the tears on her face, she looked up at the sky, trying to hold the tears back. As she adjusted her emotions, she said sarcastically after a long while, "I once thought that I had found someone who would love me and take care of me all my life. I thought that he deserved my love. But now I find it's all bullshit."

Looking ahead, Hugh said lightly, "I've told you that love is the most hurtful. There is no one that deserves our love."

"Yes, I'm desperate too," Heidy said bitterly, "Do you think Hearst is a pig? Even if the woman in the video looked like me, why doesn't he give me any trust? No, I don't want his charity."

Hugh didn't answer her, but looked at her with a confused expression on his face. Looking at her red and swollen eyes, Hugh suddenly said, "Then go out with me."

"What?" Heidy was stunned for a few seconds and then came to herself. She said with a smile, "I don't like having an affair in marriage."

"Well, don't you want to revenge him with this?" Hugh said with a smile.

Taking a look at him, Heidy asked, "Do I need to take a revenge in this way to disgrace myself?"

Hugh seemed to have expected this answer, so with a faint smile around his lips, he said, "Yes, you're right. You are not that kind of impulsive woman. You are more rational."

Staring ahead, she said calmly, "I was not so rational in the past, but people have to learn to grow and face something in a new way."

Since the death of her father, she was no longer the innocent daughter of the Hua family. Experiencing all kinds of betrayal and fighting for the Hua Group, she had a more rational view of the problem. Even if she didn't want to, she had to learn to be strong.

Hugh smiled and said, "Since your relationship has reached this stage, it's better for you to divorce. As a friend, I don't want you to live a hard life."

Heidy fell into a trance with her arms around her knees, without saying anything. After a short silence, she said, "Okay, thank you. Hugh, thank you for keeping me company. Then, see you." Then she dusted herself off and walked away.

Hugh didn't stop her. He just watched her figure leave in an indifferent manner. As his figure became smaller, Hugh lightly said, "You should divorce as soon as possible. I don't want innocent people to be involved in." Hugh's eyes turned cold when Hearst's face appeared in his mind. Then he stood up and left in an indifferent manner.

After Heidy left the hospital, instead of heading home, she drove to the place where the accident occurred. Walking slowly, she felt heavy and complicated. It never occurred to her that this was the place where her marriage would be changed. All the happiness she had had had turned into bubbles.

She kept looking straight ahead. When she came to the place where she had separated from Gavin last time, she leaned against the place. "If I had been able to catch up with him at once, perhaps he would not have been in danger," said Heidy, sighing. Sometimes she thought that maybe it was destined to happen.

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn't cry. She turned around and looked ahead, without saying anything. At this time, a little girl ran by her and saw her. She smiled and said, "Beautiful aunt, are you here again? It is nice to meet you here."

At the sight of the little girl, Heidy asked curiously, "Have we met her before?"

"Yes. Several days ago, I saw you walking alone there as if she was looking for someone. I fell down at that time and you helped me up and left in a hurry," the little girl explained.

Heidy looked at her in surprise and asked, "Well, when did you see me looking for someone?"

The little girl took out her watch from her bag and put it in front of Heidy. She smiled and said, "I broke my watch when I fell."

Heidy took the watch. It was 9:25. She once checked the video. It was before 9:29 when the accident occurred. She quickly took out her phone to take a picture of the location. She bent down and begged, "Little girl, can you give me your phone number? I have something to ask for your help. I am not a bad person."

The little girl took out a small notebook from her schoolbag and wrote down her home address. She smiled and said, "I know that you are not a bad person. Here is my home address. Mom will write it down in a notebook. If I get lost, uncle and aunt can drive me home."

Heidy took a picture of the address and caressed her head. Then she said gratefully, "Thank you, little girl. I'm kind of busy now. Can you lend me the watch? I'll buy you a new one."

The little girl nodded her head and said sweetly, "It's a gift for you."

Without thinking too much, Heidy turned around, took her watch and ran away quickly. This was a good clue for her and she must tell Hearst as soon as possible.

When she came to the hospital, she was about to run into the ward, but was stopped by the nanny. "Miss Heidy, Mr. Hearst said you can't see young master again."

Seeing Hearst standing inside, she pushed away the nanny with strength and strode into the ward. Seeing her red eyes, Hearst frowned. Trying not to care about her feelings, he looked at her coldly and ordered, "Get out."

Heidy raised her head and looked into his cold eyes. She said seriously, "I have something to tell you."

"Heidy, you are shameless. Hearst doesn't want to talk to you anymore. Why are you still here?" Annie said with contempt.

Not taking Annie's words seriously, Heidy turned to look at Hearst and said, "I can prove my innocence. Just now when I went to the park, a little girl said that she saw me and lifted her up when she fell that day. When she fell down, the watch was broken and the time went still. When the accident occurred, it was 9:25 pm which is closed to the time on the little girl's watch. I have seen the map. It will take more than four minutes to reach these two places."

Hearst frowned and looked very serious. Before he said anything, Annie persuaded him, "Don't be taken advantage of by what she said. Think about it. You just said that she was the murder, and now she said that there was evidence to prove her innocence. Do you think this is a coincidence? She must have bribed the witness to prove her innocence."

Hearing her analysis, Hearst squinted at Heidy. Seeing his gaze, Heidy smiled bitterly. Now, there was no trust between them. Thinking of the conversation she had with Hugh, she took a deep breath and said calmly, "Let's talk about the divorce. Whether I am the murderer or not, our marriage will never work. So, divorce."

Hearst didn't expect her to ask for a divorce, and he frowned. He had already regarded her as the murder, but he still didn't want to divorce her. With fists clenched, Hearst looked into her eyes and said, "I will not divorce you, and you will be imprisoned in our marriage. This is your punishment."

With a snort of contempt, Heidy said, "I didn't expect the CEO of the J.Y Group to be so shameless to use such a despicable way to revenge."

There was no change in Hearst's facial expression. He said calmly, "This is my business."

"To tell you the truth, I have made up my mind. Since you don't trust me, I don't care about this kind of marriage," Heidy said firmly. "If I want to divorce, I'll do it at all costs."

Just as they were in a stalemate, the nanny suddenly pointed at Gavin on the bed in surprise. She screamed, "I just saw his finger move!"

"What?" Heidy and Hearst hurried to the bed. Staring at Gavin who was sleeping with his eyes closed, they turned to look at his fingers. "Gavin, can you hear me?" Hearst called her name.

Heidy asked in a nervous voice, "Gavin, can you hear me?"
