“Didn’t I tell you to find a way to destroy the records? How could Fiona have found out?” Matt asked again. “She’s not answering my calls anymore. It’s been three days since Ive seen her. This has never happened before. Help me figure something out!“}
Though Henry was also worried and felt defeated, he could only say, “At this point, do you really think she’s willing to see you?”
He then said, “Matt, we’ve known each other since we were kids. As your best friend, I wamed you about this. Fiona is leagues ahead of Taylor. She is way stronger. Back when the surgery was being arranged, I could already tell she wasn’t someone ordinary. Yet you refused to listen.”
“She knew Fiona’s mother was gravely ill and undergoing treatment, yet she conveniently brought up her own mother’s need for an organ transplant at the same time. She was clearly signaling for you to help her Henry said again.
Then he continued, “I felt awful because I had wronged Fiona and operated on her mother behind her back. This is fate, Matt, that she finally found out about this now There’s nothing I can do. You have to deal with this yourself,”
“No matter whether she forgives you or not, you must understand one thing: your relationship with her will never return to what it once was. You know that, don’t you?“!!
Matt slumped onto the couch, exhaustion and defeat written all over his face.!!
Before he could respond, Henry spoke again, “There’s one more thing you need to know
He paused a while before continuing. These past years, watching you and Fiona live together. I’ve seen it clearly. Maybe you didn’t notice because you were too caught up in everything else. However, you’ve already fallen in love with her. Haven’t you realized that, Matt?”
“When she doesn’t reply to your message, you get anxious. When she disappears, you lose your mind. If you claim you’d do anything. for Taylor, then why are you reacting like this now that the obstacle between you two is gone?” he asked!
“From the moment Fiona left until now, have you ever thought about Taylor?” Henry inquiered “Wake up, Matt! You and Taylor are the things of the past 7).
After he said that, Henry got up and left. He left Matt alone in the office. Matt stared blankly at the coffee on his desk as his thoughts drifted far away and Henry’s words kept replaying in his mind!
For the first time in five years, he began to doubt himself.
Was Fiona the one he truly loved? Everything he had done had been to pave the way for Taylor’s happiness. However now that Taylor was living the best life, why was the only thing he felt emptiness?
Instead, it was the memory of his wife’s smiling face as she accepted the gifts that brought him peace. Could it be that he had changed?
