Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 172: I Still Love Her Very Much

Otherwise, how else would you explain why a man who was once so heartless would suddenly show such care and consideration?

Jonas Hawthorne’s dark eyes showed a hint of displeasure. "It has nothing to do with the child."

"How could it not? Candace Ford’s child is gone, now my sister’s child is your only bloodline. Are you going back to my sister because of this?" Lily Sinclair’s mind was working very quickly at this moment.

She had done wrong, but her heart had always been for her sister.

How could a man like Jonas Hawthorne, who starts but doesn’t finish, inexplicably turn back?

Faced with Lily Sinclair’s barrage of questions, Jonas Hawthorne fell silent.

His gaze slightly scattered, in the past, he couldn’t bother to explain or discuss such matters.

Yet, at this moment, it seemed slightly different.

"Lily, you’ve admired your sister since childhood, how could you suddenly want to betray her?"

One question pierced directly into Lily Sinclair’s soul.

"I..." She froze, her eloquent lips could now only stammer out a single word.

Betrayal.

That word seemed far too heavy.

Recalling these muddled months, she didn’t know what had happened to her...

She used to be carefree and happy.

Even when her cousin divorced, she tried hard to cheer her up, hoping she would be happy.

But ever since the man named Leon Grant appeared, it seemed like her life’s rhythm was completely disrupted.

She seemed to have changed dramatically.

She was no longer happy, often hiding in her blanket to cry alone, not even going to her favorite dance or sketching.

It was as though she was drowning in unfounded sadness and sorrow every day.

A black hole of desire growing daily, one she must fill.

Then Candace Ford appeared, just with a few words, she was led into the abyss, confused and dazed.

From then on, she knew everything she did was wrong, but she couldn’t stop.

Fortunately, in the end, she managed to overcome the fearsome force within her, she didn’t make a grave mistake...

Otherwise, she would never forgive herself, she would live forever in a mire of pain and regret.

After recalling the darkest two months of her life, Lily Sinclair sighed deeply.

"I don’t know why I did those things, but I did. I know no matter what I say now, I can’t go back to how things were with my cousin, but I know, at this moment, I still deeply admire my sister, I still love her..."

This was all Lily Sinclair could think of.

Thankfully, there was still love in her heart.

Just as she finished speaking, Jonas Hawthorne suddenly parted his thin lips.

"I am no different from you."

With these simple words, Jonas Hawthorne didn’t say more, standing up and leaving the interrogation room.

His arrival was sudden, and his departure was just as unguarded.

Leaving only Lily Sinclair to stare wide-eyed in the direction he left...

Did he mean her experience, or her love for her cousin?

——

Levi Lane hadn’t waited long outside before seeing Jonas Hawthorne emerge.

He immediately approached, "Mr. Hawthorne, Lily Sinclair’s parents are still waiting outside, looking very anxious."

Their precious daughter was brought to the police station and not allowed visits, what parents wouldn’t worry?

"Tell them, it’s a normal procedure. Lily Sinclair will be home soon," Jonas Hawthorne answered.

Levi Lane paused, "Mr. Hawthorne means not to pursue Ms. Sinclair anymore?"

Candace Ford’s child was gone, meaning Mr. Hawthorne’s child was gone...

Even if it wasn’t due to the medication, Lily Sinclair was present at the time, it couldn’t be said she had no part in it.

"The longer she’s here, the longer Raine worries," Jonas Hawthorne’s tone carried a hint of sigh.

When he saw Raine Sinclair at the hospital, her face had become even paler.

He didn’t want her worrying about these unnecessary matters anymore.

Levi Lane looked up at his boss, then nodded, "Yes."

In truth, he really wanted to say: Since you care so much about your wife, why not just remarry quickly!

"By the way, has Ian Jacobs’s background been thoroughly investigated?" Jonas Hawthorne turned to ask.

"Yes, he has been working for Finn Wyatt all these years."

Jonas Hawthorne nodded, his pitch-black eyes dimmed as he said, "Make sure to bring Winston Clayton back. He might hold videos of Lily Sinclair, we must find them!"

"Yes!" Levi Lane quietly noted everything. Hearing Mr. Hawthorne showing such concern for Lily Sinclair, he sighed internally once more.

Mr. Hawthorne truly,loves everything related...

After handling Lily Sinclair’s matters, Jonas Hawthorne returned to the hospital.

The company troublemakers had been removed or cut back, serving as a warning to others, so no one dared to cause trouble again.

The company’s negative news was swiftly eradicated by his decisive actions.

The reason for the new energy accident was still under investigation, there was no rushing it.

Temporarily, he could focus on sorting out the emotional matters.

Returning to Raine Sinclair’s hospital room, she was leaning against the headboard, receiving nutrients in her left hand and holding a pen in her right, signing a document.

Easton Yancy was holding one end of the document for her convenience.

Seeing Jonas Hawthorne enter, Easton Yancy tactfully gathered the remaining documents, "Ms. Sinclair, I’ll call Mason Sullivan to check how the new women’s clothing brand’s spokesperson search is going."

"Mm." Raine Sinclair nodded, not asking him to stay.

She still didn’t know how Lily Sinclair was, Evan Sinclair had called earlier, saying no one was allowed to visit her at the police station and it was Jonas Hawthorne’s directive.

Since he was here, might as well ask for clarifications.

After Easton Yancy left, Raine Sinclair asked, "What have you done with Lily?"

Jonas Hawthorne’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, realizing the Sinclair Family was indeed getting anxious.

He walked forward slowly, explaining softly, "She’s already given a statement, she’ll soon be home, you don’t need to worry."

Hearing this, Raine Sinclair felt her heart finally relax.

Looking at Jonas Hawthorne again, noticing his fatigue, even the blood streaks visible in his eyes made him look more haggard.

"You..." She opened her mouth, words of concern reached her lips but were swallowed back.

With their current relationship, such concern seemed unnecessary.

Seeing her hesitation, Jonas Hawthorne shifted the topic to work, "Didn’t your second brother tell you that you need to rest? These things don’t need you to personally handle."

The Sinclair Family had so many people now, all capable, any one of them could shoulder half the sky. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Little did he expect Raine Sinclair to sneer, "Isn’t this what you taught me? Relying on others isn’t as dependable as relying on oneself. When things truly happen, the only one you can trust is yourself. You’re like this, Lily is like this..."

The two people she once deemed so important in her life had betrayed her one after the other...

One sentence, like a sharp blade, pierced Jonas Hawthorne’s heart.

It was a pain almost suffocating.
