Fated to Love You Again (Shawn and Norah)

Chapter 226 The Painful Past

Chapter 226 The Painful Past

James's gaze became somehow distant.

His thin lips lightly opened, and he replied, "Like my first love."

So that was it. It was not related to her life. Norah dropped her eyes with a little disappointment.

But the phrase "first love" still surrounded her mind.

Originally, she thought it was a very beautiful phrase, and she had always longed for it.

But because of Lilian, she couldn't generate any good feelings about this phrase anymore.

"My first love is a girl of a modest family, very small and delicate. She is soft and tender. The first time I

saw her, I had a strong desire to protect her."

"However, there were many people who liked her. I had low self-esteem at that time and didn't dare to

approach her at all until she took the initiative to confess her love to me. At that moment, my whole

world felt like it was lit up. I felt that the god of luck had favored me, and I must be the happiest person

in this world."

"But, how wonderful the happiness is, how painful and wretched the falling from heaven is."

James raised his head, and his whole face was covered with sadness.

Norah, even as a bystander, can feel the sadness flowing from him.

"What happened?" Norah asked carefully.

"Later ......" James laughed bitterly and continued: "Later I learned that she didn't like me at all. She just

valued my money, loved my money, and that's all. After being with her, I spent money immoderately for This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

her happiness."

"As long as it's something she likes, I didn't hesitate at all. After the college entrance exams, I even

bought a ring and wanted to give it to her as a love token."

"But she made the most hurtful, and the most painful stab in my heart. I had personally heard her

saying with her friends, "James that fool, is dumb and dull, and has no understanding about girls at all.

If not for his rich mother, how could I be with him? And you know what? His mother's a mistress, so

he's an illegal son. How can I marry an illegal son?""

After hearing that, James closed his eyes, and his entire body was suffused with a thick sadness.

It hurt. It really hurt.

Even without personal experience, just listening by the side, Norah felt that the relationship was

suffocating and hurtful.

"But, with your handsome appearance, when you were at school, weren't you pursued by countless

girls? How could ......?" Norah looked at James in confusion.

James took out his wallet and pulled out a photo from the compartment inside and handed it to Norah.

When she saw the boy on it with curly hair, dull skin, a pockmarked face, and an introverted and shy

expression, Norah finally understood.

"This is what I looked like in high school." James said.

So that's how he looked like. No wonder he had low self-esteem at that time.

It has to be said that first love has a profound and fatal impact on a person.

Some people get hurt and may not be able to heal themselves for the rest of their lives.

"What happened then? After you went to college, you should have a better appearance. Have you

been in love again?"

"No." James shook his head. Thinking of something, he added.

"But two years ago, my mother introduced me to a girl. We two had been dating for a couple of days

because of the force from the parents, and then she said that I was too cold and she couldn't stand it,

so we broke up."

Norah listened to it, only to be saddened.

"Why are you telling me this?" She asked.

In terms of familiarity, she and he are not familiar at all.

James was silent for a while before he slowly spoke: "Maybe it's because you look like her. My years of

repression finally have an exit to release, and I can finally say it out."

"Or maybe it's that I happened to run into you today, and I wanted to talk about it, and you happened to

be there by chance."

"Norah, what I just said, will you keep it all in secret for me?" James asked.

Norah immediately nodded seriously and forcefully: "Dean Broser, Don't worry. I am not a big mouth. I

promise. What you just said to me, I will definitely not leak to anyone else."

"Besides, if you are worried, you can exert pressure on me with the authority of your leadership. In

order to keep my job, I will never dare to talk nonsense."

James hooked his lips. His face returned to its previous coolness: " It makes sense."

Norah: "......"

Why did she feel like she was lifting a stone to smash her own feet right now?

Having settled the feud with James, Norah returned home in an extraordinarily comfortable mood.

What made her even happier was that she received a text message from Shawn before going to bed.

He said he'd be back in two days.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back, xoxo!"

After sending the message, Norah fell asleep happily on the bed.

In the other hemisphere, Shawn and Lilian are negotiating.

"Shawn, I'm sorry, I can't promise you."

Listening to Lilian's words, Shawn frowned sternly.

He had originally thought that this was great news. Professor Smith had already said that there was still

a possibility for her leg to be cured and that there was a 50% chance to stand up.

This was clearly exciting news, and he was extremely excited when he learned about it.

However, he hadn't expected in any way that Lilian would be so resistant and repelling, which was

completely out of his expectation.

"Lilian, why? 50% chance of healing. Although it's not 100%, this chance is already quite good. I think

we should have a try."

Lilian just looked at him calmly, "Shawn, why do you insist that I undergo this surgery?"

"As I said, I've undergone the surgery many times, and I've been disappointed many times. 50% is not

100%. Once a doctor told me the success rate was 80%, but then? The surgery still failed and I still

didn't stand up, have you forgotten?"

"Shawn, I know you're doing this for my good, but I really can't afford to suffer failures over and over

again. Instead of having hopes and then being disappointed, I would rather never have hopes."

"Lilian ......" Shawn held her shoulders and tried to persuade, "You can't think like that. The reason why

that operation failed was that the doctors had an irresistible accident during the surgery. "

"Then how can you guarantee that there will be no accident in this operation?"

"Lilian, it was unusual that time. You actually know that it was because the doctor himself had a sudden

illness. This time I assure you that there will be no such accident."

After hearing this, Lilian smiled coldly.

She suddenly reached out and pushed Shawn away.

At the same time, she yelled, "Accident? What an accident. How innocent I was at that time. If it wasn't

for that doctor, my leg obviously didn't need to be crippled, and I wouldn't be in a wheelchair."

"Shawn, please don't think that I'm not aware of what's in your mind. You persuade me so hard to have

the operation, isn't it because you are eager to relieve your inner guilt?"

"You think that after my leg is healed, you won't owe me anything. And you can live with Norah and be

in love forever, right?"
