A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 969

“Rae?” Adam noticed that Rae was just gazing at himself without saying anything, so he shouted at her again.

Rae was shocked for a while as she quickly returned to her senses, “Adam, let me help you up first, let's find a place to sit down and have a talk, okay?”

She tried to speak as gently as possible. This was because Rae was feeling a bit guilty in her heart.

“Okay!” Adam immediately nodded his head in agreement. He then lowered his head in frustration again, seemingly feeling embarrassed.

“Are you alright?” Rae asked.

Adam did not say anything. His face was totally red with embarrassment.

At that instant, Rae understood that he could not get up.

She immediately straightened the wheelchair, then walked over and said to him, “I'll carry you up, just give me your hand!”

“No! There’s no need!” Adam immediately shook his head upon hearing this.

Rae was shocked and continued saying, “If I were you, I wouldn’t care about my reputation right now, at least in this case!”

When Adam heard what she said, his face got even redder.

Rae had already walked over and squatted down to give him a lift.

Adam wanted to refuse while he was blushing. However, as he thought of what Rae said, he hesitated again. Finally, he obeyed silently.

Rae tried her best to carry him up. After sitting him on the wheelchair, Rae was panting from exhaustion.

Adam replied while feeling embarrassed, “Thank you, I know I'm quite heavy!”

“It's okay!” Rae shook her head. After settling down, she said to Adam, “Do you want to have a talk at a cafe, or a teahouse?”

“I’m fine with either one!” Adam whispered.

“Then let's go to a teahouse!” Rae thought that teahouses were full of older people. As there would be lesser younger people, Adam wouldn’t feel too humiliated.

So, she pushed Adam to the nearest teahouse.

On the way, Adam asked her, “Rae, how have you been these five years? I wanted to search for you, but I didn't know you came to City B. I thought you had left the country, you said you were going abroad before!”

“Going abroad?” So Rae really did wanted to go abroad.

“Yeah! Yes, about the one you love...” Adam suddenly stopped talking. He was hesitating as he thought that talking about it did not feel right to him.

Rae was also taken aback, did Adam know which person Rae loved?

She then immediately said, “Go ahead, it's okay!”

Only then did Adam hesitantly speak, “The man you love, is he with you now? Did you find him when you went abroad?”

This was the first time Rae got to know about the real Rae’s love life. This was also the first time she got to know who the real Rae loved from someone else!

That person should be Reuben!

“Yes, he is from the James family, right?” Adam asked again.

Based on what he said, Rae had already confirmed that Reuben was the one Adam was talking about. When Adam said the first sentence, Rae already thought the person was Reuben. However, when it was confirmed to be true, Rae was still shocked. It turned out that the man Rae had really loved was indeed Reuben. The person Reuben could not forget was indeed none other than Rae.

She really did not understand. Since Rae loved Reuben, and Reuben also loved Rae, why did the two of them break up?

Why did they go to their separate ways in the first place? One went abroad and the other went to study on another country?

After years of separation, the past was already history and both of them was already in a new relationship. However, they both still miss each other so much.

What year was it when Rae and Adam met?

If it was five years ago, then they both already had a relationship with other people. Rae must have a relationship with another man within two years after she had broken up with Reuben. Although she did not know who it was, but the child in her belly was definitely not Reuben’s. This was because they did not see each other at that time and had already broken up. Thus, the child in her belly belonged to someone else. So, who did this child belong to?

After that, Reuben was in a relationship with Ophelia. There was only a possibility that Ophelia was not the only woman he had relationship with at that time, he might have another lover. Then, this meant that after they both got into a new relationship, they still wanted to see each other.

A strange look could be seen appearing in Adam’s eyes. However, he then looked at his legs which caused the light inside of him to disappear again.

Rae did not notice the look in Adam’s eyes. She only noticed the sadness in him. Rae let out a sigh in her heart. Seeing a young man who became disable and needed to rely on the wheelchair to move was just saddening for others to see.

Even though she was not Rae, she still wanted to comfort Adam, so that he could have a fighting spirit and live on.

Rae said to Adam, “Adam, whether I remember you or not, when I met you today, I have a feeling that I may have owed you something. So, I hope you can forgive me and let go of the past. Then, you can keep on fighting to live your life to the fullest!”

When Rae said this, Adam immediately shook his head, “No, no, Rae, it's not like that! What happened to my legs has nothing to do with you! It was because I wasn’t good enough, I wasn’t thinking clearly and I kept drinking alcohol to drown my sorrows. This has nothing to do with you! Please don't think too much about it! Oh, wait a second!”

Adam suddenly remembered something, “Rae, how did you know that my leg was injured because of you? We haven't seen each other for these 5 years, I haven't heard anything from you, you shouldn't have heard anything from me either. You also said you have forgotten about me, so why would you know that my leg was injured because of you!”

Rae stared at his legs while listening to his words. She was slightly stunned. Adam, although his legs were crippled, but he was still extremely smart. He, being so observant and smart, was able to immediately grasped the crux of the matter.

Rae smiled, "No matter how I knew about your leg injuries, it was me who caused it, right!”

“You’re wrong! Just now you said that someone else mentioned me, who was it?” Adam still wanted to know the answer to this question.

Rae lowered her head and did not speak for a long time. After pausing of about thirty seconds, she spoke in a soft voice, “I did hear about you through someone else! Adam, I don't want to talk about it now, is it ok?”

“Oh!” Adam felt a bit frustrated, but he did not force her to answer. He just replied in a very soft voice, “Rae, what happened to my legs has nothing to do with you, it only has to do with myself. I couldn't handle it. Rae, you are still so sensible and you are still so loyal in your relationship. I really admire that part of you, so I don't blame you, it is because I was not good enough.”

Rae looked at him again, “Your leg, is there still hope?”

She asked him directly.

Adam also gazed at his own legs. After a long while, he finally spoke, “Five years ago when the accident happened, the doctor said my legs can still recover. Well, at least I do not have to sit in a wheelchair, but I did not have the determination, so... there is now probably not much hope!”

After Rae heard what his said, she suddenly felt hope in her heart!

If Adam was able to stand up and walk again. In turn, wouldn’t Marcel stop holding the grudge between them? Was it possible for him let go his frustration and live life to the fullest from then on?

At this time, Marcel and his cousin were looking for Adam who went out from the hotel without greeting them. When Marcel and Ellen arrived at the hotel, he saw that there was no sign of Adam in the hotel room. He immediately got worried and started scolding Ellen, “Why did you leave him alone in the hotel? Don't you know that he has been devastated even since the accident and don’t look well? What if he wasn’t thinking straight when he got out? What if something happens? You are already not a child anymore, why do you keep doing things like this, you never think of the consequences to your actions!”
