Kyla gently looked down and said, “She’s now in custody in the detention center. The police say that she has a solid case against her. She’ll be sentenced to at least five years in prison if proven guilty!”

“I think five years is too lenient. People like her should be sentenced to life in prison. Otherwise, she might harm someone else again when she’s released.”

Mrs. Corbyn scolded, and Kyla suddenly said, “Mom, do you think Martin Weiss and I are a right fit?

What do you think of me getting back together with him?”

Mrs. Corbyn stopped speaking, and she looked at her daughter in disbelief, “What… What did you say?”

“I said, is it okay if I get back together with Martin Weiss?”

repeated Kyla.

“You want to start over with Martin Weiss?” Mrs. Corbyn asked urgently.

“Martin Weiss mentioned to me in the hospital that he wants to be a real married couple with me, not just for show or for the sake of the kids,” said Kyla as she took a deep breath. She looked at her mother, who had accompanied her through so many painful years. “Mom, I still have feelings for Martin Weiss. I don’t know whether they’ve always been there and I’ve just ignored them, or they just started recently. But I think he has a place in my heart.”

Kyla confessed her feelings to her mother.

After hearing that, Mrs. Corbyn said gently, “Since he has a place in your heart and seeing how you two have children together, it’s good to start over with him. You haven’t fallen for anyone after all these years. Perhaps you’re destined to start over with him!”

“Mother, do you agree to this?” asked Kyla.

Mrs. Corbyn said, “Why should I disagree? I’ve seen how he’s been treating you all these years. If you want him to atone for his sins, he has done it. I just want you to get over it. Do you want to be with him?”

Mrs. Corbyn knew that the biggest problem her daughter faced was the pain Martin Weiss had caused her. Her daughter first needed to overcome that fear if she wanted to be with Martin Weiss.

Kyla pressed her lips together tightly. After a long while, she finally said, “I want to be with him…”

‘Yes, I want to be with Martin Weiss. I want to take another chance to see if I can be happy in this life!’

She did not want to run away and regret it later!

‘Perhaps it’s like what Lina said. I’ll just give it a try. If it still doesn’t work out, at least I won’t regret it!’

On the other hand, in Martin Weiss’s ward. Mrs. Weiss looked at her son on the hospital bed and snapped. “How could you keep such a serious incident from me? I would still be in the dark if my friend in the business world hadn’t mentioned it to me. Do you even think of me as your own mother?”

Martin Weiss said hoarsely, “Mom, they’re just minor injuries.”

“Minor injuries?” Mrs. Weiss’s voice shot up instantly. “Are these injuries minor? You’ve got a broken rib, an abrasion in your head, and several cuts in your neck. You almost died from blood loss!”

Martin Weiss said, “The doctor said that most of them are just skin trauma. I can be discharged in another week. I didn’t tell you because I was afraid you’d be worried. Look, aren’t you worrying too much right now?”

Mrs. Weiss said, “Are you scared that I’ll be worried, or that I’ll be angry at Kyla? You suffered all these wounds to save that woman Kyla, didn’t you?”

She had had someone look into her son’s accident before coming to the hospital.

Martin Weiss frowned. “She’s not some random woman. She’s the woman I love most. She got kidnapped because of me. I failed to handle some lowlives who went to harm Kyla! It’s only a matter of course that I had to save her!”

Mrs. Weiss said bitterly, “A matter of course? You saved her and almost killed yourself. Did you think of me? Did you think about your own mother? What I should do if something had happened to you? I already lost your father. Do you want me to lose my only son too?”

Guilt flashed across Martin Weiss’s face. “Mom, I’m sorry.”

“Kyla has gotten you under her spell. Even if you have done her wrong, many years have passed since then. You’ve even donated her your liver. It should be enough,” said Mrs. Weiss.

‘Enough?’ Martin Weiss smiled wrily. Kyla said it was enough, and even his mother said it was enough, but… “It’s not enough. Mom, I love her. I love her so much that everything I do for her won’t be enough.

Whatever happens, I don’t want you to scold her, Mom. I saved her willingly. She never asked me to save her, and she has nothing to do with these wounds!”

Mrs. Weiss looked at her son, who was trying to take all the responsibility, with a darkening face.

Kyla mattered so much to her son that he would even risk his life for her! There was only grave concern in Mrs. Weiss’s heart at the moment.

“Mom, think of it as doing me a favor. Please don’t be angry with her,” said Martin Weiss.

However, the more he begged, the more Mrs. Weiss’s heart sank.

When had her proud son begged someone for a woman? However, he was begging her for Kyla right now.

Mrs. Weiss sighed and said, “Forget it. I won’t blame her. Don’t worry.”

“That’s great,” said Martin Weiss.

“But you can’t spare those criminals who hurt you so severely! Especially Mr. Lambert and Jacqueline Bowman. I want them in jail for the rest of their lives!” said Mrs. Weiss.

Mrs. Weiss’s voice had a touch of anger in it. After all, he was her most important son! He was so badly wounded that she almost lost him again. How could she not hate those criminals?

“Okay. It’s all up to you, Mom,” said Martin Weiss.

As long as his mother did not blame Kyla!

‘Will Kyla give me the answer I want? How I wish she’ll say yes. I’ll be good to her and use the rest of my life to treat her well!’

When Kyla arrived at the hospital with the food she prepared for Martin Weiss, she happened to see Mrs. Weiss in the ward.

Kyla froze, not expecting to see Mrs. Weiss. However, on second thought, it was only reasonable for Mrs. Weiss to come over after Martin Weiss suffered such injuries.

Mrs. Weiss also froze when she saw Kyla coming over with food.

“Hello, Aunt,” Kyla greeted nervously.

“Hello, Miss Corbyn,” Mrs. Weiss replied politely, showing no displeasure for Kyla. “Miss Corbyn, are you here to see Martin? Thank you.”

“He got hurt because of me. It… It’s only right for me to do this,” said Kyla.

“But if you’re busy with the store, it’s okay to come less often, Miss Corbyn. As long as we know you have him in mind. Now that I’m here to take care of Martin, I’ll prepare the best for him, of course,” said Mrs. Weiss.

She spoke nonchalantly, and Kyla did not know what to say.

However, Martin Weiss frowned slightly and said, “Mom, I have nothing to worry about if you take care of me, but… I want Kyla to come to the hospital to see me more often. I’m glad she’s here now.”

Mrs. Weiss glared at her son and said, “Why don’t I go to the doctor and ask about your condition? You two can talk.”

Mrs. Weiss left the ward, and Kyla felt as if the pressure in the ward had been reduced.

Martin Weiss said, “Don’t mind what my mother said.”

Kyla smiled. “Your mother cares about you. Why would I mind?” It seemed to her that his mother was cordial to her. At least, she did not embarrass her.

Kyla placed the food on Martin Weiss’s bedside table. “Try the osmanthus rice porridge first. I made it with rice. You can think of it as a gooey drink. It’ll make you feel full too.”

“Okay.” Martin Weiss smiled as he took the osmanthus rice porridge Kyla handed over.

He could taste a hint of sweetness when it entered his mouth, and all he could smell at the tip of his nose was the fragrance of osmanthus flowers. It smelled good.

“It’s delicious,” said Martin Weiss.

“I’ll make more tomorrow if you like it,” she said.

“Won’t it be too tiring? It must have taken a lot of work,” he said.

“It’s alright. Though it takes a little longer, it doesn’t need constant observation. I just need to time it right. This is all I can do for you right now,” said Kyla.

He gazed at her intently. “But this makes me happy… Very happy…”

Kyla met his eyes in a daze, and a bitter feeling filled her chest.

He used to be such a proud man, but now… he looked so humble in front of her. She had just made some food and visited him in the hospital, yet he… was so happy.

“Martin Weiss, what you asked me to think about… earlier, I…” She opened her mouth hesitantly, wondering whether to say yes.

‘I should at least do what Lina said and git a try. I don’t want to regret it.’

However, it seemed to take a great deal of courage to tell him.

Kyla only felt her heart racing at that moment. Her eyes watered, while her lips that his fingers were still pressing against seemed to be getting hotter and hotter.

“I… I’m going to the washroom!” she said hurriedly. However, instead of going to the washroom in the ward, she quickly walked outside.

She felt that if she stayed in there any longer, she would probably burst out in tears in front of him.

She rarely cried since her imprisonment. She always told herself to be strong. Tears were pointless.

However, she had been pushed to tears several times these days because of Martin Weiss.

Kyla ran to the washroom at the end of the hallway, intending to wipe her face with cold water.

Just then, a voice came from behind her. “Miss Corbyn, can we talk?”

Kyla looked up, only to see Mrs. Weiss reflected in the mirror above the sink.

She turned to look at her. “Aunt, you want to talk to me?”

“Yeah, there’s something I need to talk to you about, but this isn’t a good place to talk. Why don’t we talk in the empty examination room next door?” said Mrs. Weiss.

Kyla did not refuse and followed Mrs. Weiss to the empty room.

Mrs. Weiss locked the door and said to Kyla, “Miss Corbyn, I know you and Martin have a lot of history and you’re now carrying Martin’s baby. Just as Martin said, it was only natural for him to have saved you when you were in danger, but… I hope you can let him go.”

Kyla froze, “Aunt, you…”

“I’ve begged you to be with Martin, but you refused. You said you didn’t love him and that your marriage was just a matter of expediency. I beg you to make him give up on you once and for all, okay?

Martin can risk his life for you, but there’s no way you can risk your life for him. Otherwise, it would have been you in the hospital today instead of him, right?”

Kyla froze. She could not even refute Mrs. Weiss.

“Miss Corbyn, I’ve lost my husband. I don’t want to lose my only son too. You donated him your bone marrow, but he also gave you part of his liver. He has been suffering all these years, and this time, he almost died! Perhaps some people aren’t just meant to be. Look, the more involved you are, the more likely there are to be accidents. Why don’t you just make him give up on you for good?

Perhaps he can only start over after giving up!”

Mrs. Weiss sobbed. All she felt at the moment was fear that she would lose her only son.

Therefore, she still had to beg Kyla even if she was dissatisfied with her. She knew it would only work if Kyla was willing to do so. If Kyla refused to let her son go, Martin could never be able to get over this relationship.

Kyla only felt a boulder pressing on her chest. Every word Mrs. Weiss uttered pressed down on her, leaving her breathless.

“Miss Corbyn, I beg you to let Martin live! Your two children are the flesh and blood of the Weiss family.

It’s up to you if you want your children to stay with you or let them return to the Weiss family. You can ask for money or assets. I’ll give you anything I can. I just want Martin to be alive and well!”

“I… won’t hurt him. I… I want him to be safe and well too,” said Kyla.
