Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 468

For others, it was just a diamond.No matter how rare and precious it was, it was nothing but an object.

Compared to the value of one’s life, it was worthless.

However, even at the last moment before the explosion occurred, Victor chose to hold it tightly in his hand.

For him to do this, it could be said that this diamond meant more than just the money he spent to buy it.

Since it was something that he held onto even when his life was hanging by a thread, it should have a very special meaning for him.

After all, Beloved was the gift that he bought for Rachel four years ago on the cruise.

At that time, he finally realized that he loved her.

He intended to give it to her when he declared his love for her.It was the sign that he wanted to start over with her again.

Beloved was a token that would signify the brand new chapter of their lives.

Therefore, in the past four years, Victor made sure that he had been carrying it with him every day.

Since it belonged to Rachel, it was the only thing that could remind him of her.

"You can choose what you believe, but all I’m saying is the truth." Carson looked at Rachel seriously.

"These past four years, I have seen Vic drinking alone, holding that diamond in his hand on more than one occasion.When he thought that you died…Well, to be exact, after you escaped, he almost worked every day without resting.Even when I manage to get him out of his office and go to a bar, he would just be staring at the diamond, as if he could see someone in it."

While listening to Carson, Rachel narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips tightly.

Seeing that Rachel didn’t even try to touch the diamond, Carson took it back and forced a smile.

"I know that Vic has done cruel things to you before.But it’s also true that he has suffered an unbearable pain in the past four years.I just think that it is enough punishment for him already.Of course, I dare not ask you to forgive him.I’m just here to tell you all these things because I think that you have the right to know.He almost died this time, and his sheer willpower was the only thing that brought him back.At the same time, you’re the only one he remembers right now…"

Although Carson seemed like the typical playboy, he was reasonable enough to know what was right and not.

Even though Victor was his best friend, he was aware of his shortcomings and mishaps.He didn’t intend to meddle in their relationship.

In fact, there were times when he felt that Victor might have deserved all of these bad luck and hardships because of what he had done to Rachel.

But at the end of the day, Victor was still his best friend.

As much as possible, Carson wouldn’t want to see him suffer like this.

"Are you done?" Rachel asked flatly after a long pause.

Carson was quite taken aback by the lack of emotion on Rachel’s face.

He realized that it was either she didn’t believe what he said, or she might have believed, but she didn’t care anymore.

"What I just said,"

"Carson!"

Before Carson could continue speaking, Rachel interrupted him in a plain tone.

She then raised her brows and looked straight into his eyes.

Without any shred of emotion, she remarked, "You just said that you weren’t asking me to forgive him, right? You also said that you just felt like telling me how much he had been missing me and how regretful he had been in the past four years.Well, in fact, I know all those things.Unfortunately, it doesn’t make much difference."

Rachel then averted her gaze and looked far away.

"Have you ever heard of that saying?"

"What saying?"

"Speak now or forever hold your peace,"

Rachel said slowly, enunciating every word.

She would be lying if she said that her heart didn’t skip a beat when she heard Carson say that Victor had been carrying Beloved with him every day for the past four years.

In fact, it was also true that half a month ago, while she watched the door of the operating room and the red light outside it, she felt anxious and flustered.

Furthermore, when she learned of what Victor had gone through when he was a child, she felt very sorry for him.

Most importantly, she had also thought how perfect it was if Joey, Victor, and she could spend the rest of their lives together.

However, her scars were too deep to be healed.

None of these was enough to make her forgive what Victor had done to her four years ago.

The pain he inflicted on her was so real that every time she recalled it, she would definitely have nightmares.

While Victor was hurting these past four years, so was Rachel.

Her hate for him didn’t subside even a little.

Hearing such cold words, Carson impulsively moved his lips, but he didn’t know what to say.
