Love Command: Darling, Do You Yield?-Chapter 97 - 98 Iris Harris, this is what you owe her 1
Chapter 97: Chapter 98 Iris Harris, this is what you owe her 1
Her Brandan, the man she loved for so many years, wants to exchange her life for another woman’s life...
How could it be?
Impossible, her Brandan wouldn’t do such a thing, impossible...
Iris Harris’s face turned pale instantly. She staggered backward, then was caught by Brandan Hyde’s hand reaching out instinctively to grasp her wrist.
With her head lowered, Iris looked at her tightly clasped hand and thought, this is not a nightmare, but a living reality...
He wants to exchange her for Viola Harris.
Her tears suddenly became uncontrollable, dropping irrepressibly. She started to struggle, trying to shake off Brandan Hyde’s hand: "No, I don’t want to, I won’t go!... Brandan, I’ll divorce you, I won’t have the child, I don’t want anything, I’ll do whatever you say, please don’t do this to me... I don’t want the child anymore, really, I don’t..."
She did want this child, but what could be more important than her own life?
"I don’t want to die, Brandan, please let me go, I don’t want to die..."
She was really scared, she couldn’t imagine what would happen if she, a woman, stayed a night with those vicious criminals, while she’s even pregnant, how could he do this to her?
"I’ll abort the baby, I’ll go get rid of it when I go back, I won’t show up in front of you anymore, I don’t want to go there..." She pleaded powerlessly, who wouldn’t be afraid? Those people even had guns!
Brandan Hyde pressed his lips slightly; he indeed felt bad, but...
"Iris Harris, this is what you owe her."
Iris’ body trembled; she looked up at him blankly.
"If you hadn’t forced me to marry you back then, how could Viola have jumped off the building?"
"If it weren’t for being hospitalized, how could she have been kidnapped?"
Brandan Hyde took a deep breath and fixed his gaze on Iris, saying, "I’ll have the money ready tomorrow to redeem you. Nothing will happen; they only want money, they won’t harm you."
Iris felt her beating heart, the emotions burning inside, slowly freezing into ice with the man’s words.
He really wants to exchange her for Viola Harris.
No matter how she begged or cried, it didn’t evoke any sympathy or pity.
Her overwhelming fear, in his eyes, was merely just...
A debt she owed.
Was it true that she owed a life?
Iris stood there in a daze, unable to even shed a tear.
When Viola’s mother said she would be exchanged, aside from sadness, she only felt anger.
But when Brandan Hyde stood there, holding her hand, saying these words, she felt nothing at all.
Everything became numb, those loves and reluctance vanished in an instant, turning into desolation and dust.
So, this is what love is at such a time, Iris thought blankly, is this what heartbreak feels like.
It felt as if everything in the world quieted, only the sound of air slowly exhaling from her chest echoed, her whole self became wooden, even unable to cry.
This ten-year love finally came to a close at this moment.
The love she spent ten years painstakingly conjuring, handling with extreme care.
Finally ended in Brandan Hyde’s words.
Her life, in his eyes, was nothing more than this.
He really had no feelings for her at all, even after ten years, yet wouldn’t be so cruel to a stranger.
He would never trade a stranger for Viola Harris.
