Chapter 1562: 1562. It’s not that hard to get over a breakup.
She worried that if she married Harry Hall now, she’d have to suppress that grievance in her heart, and over time, she would certainly not be able to bear it.
Helen Melendy looked at Elly Campbell, contemplating her words repeatedly, as if her previously uncertain heart had become resolute at this moment.
She looked at Elly and suddenly chuckled, suppressing the bitterness in her eyes a little.
“What a pity, missing the chance to become a wealthy lady of the upper class.”
Her tone sounded very relaxed, but Elly knew she was actually very upset inside.
Not because she couldn’t marry Harry Hall, but because of her own legs and her future life.
Elly smiled and ruffled her hair, saying:
“What’s so good about being a wealthy lady? We should make ourselves the wealthy ones.”
Helen laughed along, “Yeah.”
To be her own wealth, even if she was handicapped, she wouldn’t need to look at others’ faces or be ridiculed by others.
Whether or not she could become wealthy was another matter, but at least she would certainly be much more relaxed and carefree than marrying Harry Hall.
Besides, she was like this now, she couldn’t burden her dream man.
Leanne Richards’ words, although harsh, were facts she couldn’t ignore.
Such a dazzling person as Harry Hall, marrying a wife with disabled legs, over time, could he still maintain his original intention?
When those dazzling, capable, and competent women outside spend time with him, won’t he really compare them to her?
Even if he maintains his original intention, could she bear to keep dragging him down?
The supposedly unattainable dream man, bringing along a disabled wife to be laughed at outside.
Just thinking about it, Helen couldn’t bear it.
She let out a bitter laugh, looking at Elly, and said self-deprecatingly:
“I’m actually glad my memory stopped nine years ago, so my feelings for Harry Hall aren’t that deep. Breaking up is straightforward, and it’s not that painful.”
She couldn’t remember to what extent she loved Harry Hall before, but at least it wouldn’t have been as easy to let go as it was now.
Elly didn’t know how to respond to her words.
She knew that Helen’s current decision was actually unfair to Harry Hall.
But what does unfair matter?
She just wanted to consider things from Helen’s perspective; Helen’s emotions mattered most to her.
As for Harry Hall…
It’s just that he might have to pursue Helen again.
Helen wasn’t made of stone; if Harry could still maintain his feelings for her and wouldn’t mind if she couldn’t stand up again, then letting go now might actually be a gain.
She thought back to when she asked Harry if Helen never woke up, would he find another woman?
How did he answer her?
Elly recalled for a moment.
He said his heart was small, only big enough for one person in a lifetime.
Elly’s eyes lowered, then looked at Helen’s vacant gaze into the distance, as well as the cloud gradually dissipating from her face, and she decided not to tell Helen.
She didn’t want her own words to make Helen hesitate after she had made a determined effort.
So she could only say a silent apology to Harry Hall in her heart.
When Harry Hall came over, Elly was already pushing Helen back to the ward.
The three of them met at the door of the ward.
Maybe because she’d made a decision, Helen didn’t seem as awkward and uneasy as before when facing Harry Hall.
