Chapter 229 In this lifetime, I only want you!

"Linda!"

Devon's eyes were bloodshot, he dashed up the stairs frantically, fearing that Linda would do something foolish.

Upon hearing Devon's voice, Linda's movements paused, but the knife in her hand remained firmly against her neck.

Her eyes were red, silently shedding tears.

She sobbed hard, her voice choked as she spoke, "Devon, stop caring about me! Just let me die!"

"I knew, I had become a cripple, I was no longer worthy of you! To you, I was nothing more than a burden in your life!"

"Devon, truly, you fell in love with Corona, I don't blame you, I don't blame you at all. I only blame myself, I'm a cripple, not worthy of you! Devon, I bless you and Corona, but I really love you too much, without you, I can't survive, so Devon, let me die, it would also save me from facing you, the one I love most, with such a broken side!"

Listening to Linda's hypocritical words and watching her affected actions, Corona almost wanted to laugh.

If she really wanted to die, she could have just slit her throat earlier, instead of wasting so much time and talking so much nonsense!

So melodramatic!

What a pity, some men, with perfectly good eyes, are blind at heart. They would always only believe Linda's side of the story!

"Linda, don't do anything foolish!" In Devon's eyes, there was nothing but undisguised tenderness.

He walked nervously up to Linda, "Linda, put the knife down! I haven't fallen in love with anyone else, you're the only one in my heart! I never thought you were unworthy of me, or a burden in my life!"

"Linda, you will always be the woman I, Devon, love the most! You've hurt your leg, and it only makes me care for you more."

"Linda, could you please not do foolish things in the future? I'm really afraid of losing you!"

"Devon, you said you loved me, you said you cared for me, but what were you just doing with Corona?! You're breaking my heart! Devon, you do have feelings for Corona, stop lying to yourself. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been unable to control yourself around her!"

"Linda, you are the only one in my heart!" Devon urgently denied his feelings for Corona to Linda.

Seeing Linda still crying as if her heart would break, Devon hurriedly continued to prove to her how much he disliked Corona.

"Linda, if I cared about Corona, I wouldn't have married her off to that cripple Joseph! Linda, will you trust me? You are the only one in my heart! I will never touch her again, in this life, I only want you!"

"I don't believe it!" Linda shook her head forcefully, tears in her eyes, "Yes, you did marry Corona off to Joseph, but now, they are already divorced! If you want me to believe you, unless, you marry her off again!"

Linda applied a slight pressure with her hand, the sharp tip of the knife against her neck, creating a startling scar.

Seeing blood on her neck, Devon feared she would hurt herself even more. He quickly spoke up, "Linda, as long as you stop hurting yourself, I'll immediately send Corona away!"

"Linda, Corona meant nothing to me, not a single penny, from beginning to end, all I wanted was you!"

Linda's tears fell even more fiercely, her lips pouting in grievance, her eyes filled with painful struggle.

"Devon, I forced you to marry off Corona, you think I'm a wicked woman, don't you? Devon, I'm really not that wicked, I'm just scared. Corona, she had a relationship with you, even, she was pregnant with your child, I'm afraid you will rekindle your old feelings for her! Devon, I'm afraid I will lose you!"

"Linda, I'm sorry, it was my fault that made you so upset! Linda, you're not malicious, in my heart, you will always be the kindest girl who saved me from the ruins!" Upon hearing Devon's words, Linda's gaze towards Corona became even more resentful and bitter.

The one who rescued Devon from the ruins after the earthquake, with both hands torn, was not her, Linda.

Linda forced herself to continue pretending to be weak and pitiful, her tears falling drop by drop. Devon stepped forward, carefully taking her hand that wasn't holding the knife. "Linda, who do you want me to marry Corona off to? Just say the word, and I'll send her over right now. Tomorrow, I'll have them married."

"Devon, would you marry Corona to my brother?"

Linda still wore her mask of sincerity and kindness. Seeing Devon's hesitation, she blinked her misty eyes and continued, "Devon, I know my brother may seem a bit off, but he truly likes Corona, and Corona genuinely admires my brother."

"After she married my brother, it could be said that the lovers finally got married. In that case, I wouldn't have to worry about you having an ambiguous relationship with her anymore. Devon, can you please give me peace of mind?"

Devon didn't speak immediately, his gaze seemed to fall on Linda, but his line of sight involuntarily drifted far, far away.

In the first few years when Corona just arrived, their relationship was really good, really good. How did the gap between them come about?

It seemed to be because of Linda's brother, Andrew Sullivan.

One night, he came home, only to see Andrew kissing Corona in the garden.

He didn't know what was going on either. Since that one time, he had taken a dislike to Corona.

No matter how he looked at her, he found her displeasing.

Thinking about facilitating the relationship between Corona and Andrew, Devon felt inexplicably annoyed. However, he couldn't deny that Linda's suggestion was indeed the best for everyone.

"Devon, you can't bear to part with Corona, can you? If you can't, then forget it, I won't insist." Linda lowered her eyes pitifully, her eyelashes adorned with crystal clear teardrops, looking so pitiful.

"Linda, how could I possibly be reluctant to let go of that malicious woman, Corona!"

Afraid of Linda misunderstanding, Devon hastily spoke, "Linda, I'll take her to your brother's place tonight!"

Having secured Devon's promise, even while feigning pitifulness, the corners of Linda's lips couldn't help but lift in a smile.

Corona's little face, however, was so pale that it had lost all its color.

In her lifetime, the person she feared the most was Linda's older brother, Andrew.

Andrew was not human at all!

His favorite thing since childhood was to bully men and dominate women. He was proficient in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling. After getting drunk, he particularly enjoyed fighting.

Moreover, he didn't fight with men, he preferred to hit women.

He took advantage of his relationship with Devon, acting arrogantly in Sea City. Some time ago, she even heard that he got drunk and went crazy at Lust Club, and ended up killing the lady who was serving him.

It was still Linda who helped him suppress this matter.

If Devon had given her to Andrew, and he had taken revenge for Linda, she probably wouldn't have seen tomorrow's sun!
