From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 156 The Woman That Night was Penelope! "Honestly, what's going on with you?" Kelvin asked, "If there's an issue, just talk, instead of crying about it... What kind of behavior is that!" Penelope sniffed, "I'll talk about it, I just don't know where to start." "Say whatever first comes to mind!" Kelvin instructed.

Penelope, in a mess, dabbed at her tears. "Kelvin, what exactly happened between you and Fiona?" "Why are you suddenly asking about this?" he asked, taken aback by the sudden question.

"Just answer me," Penelope insisted, meeting his eyes, "It's important." Kelvin, however, avoided her gaze. "Whatever is between her and me, I'll handle it. You don't need to worry about it." With that, he turned and started to walk away.

Penelope clutched the hem of her clothes tightly, "You don't have to say it, I already know. The night before you cto pickup from the mental hospital, you and Fiona were together at the hotel. Isn't that, right?" Kelvin's gaze turned sharp, "How do you know about that?" She continued, "That night, you were drugged and alone in your room. Then Fiona unexpectedly burst into your room seeking refuge. Due to a mix-up, you two ended up sleeping together.

"It was dark in the room, neither of you could see each other's faces, nor recognize each other's identities. And the next day when you woke up, there was no one beside you. You began searching everywhere for Fiona.

"Until your men reported that they had found Fiona. That night, she had been given to an old man by the mental institution's director. She refused and ran from the room, accidentally running into your room.

"Then you found Fiona and promised to marry her. Because she had saved you with her sacrifice..." Penelope bit her lower lip, "Kelvin, am I right?" He shot back, "How could you possibly know all this in such detail? Did Fiona tell you?" She scoffed, "How could she possibly tellabout this?" "Then how do you know?" Kelvin narrowed his eyes slightly, "Penelope, where did you get this information?" This was highly confidential. Only he and Fiona were supposed to know! Penelope's eyes brimmed with tears, "Kelvin, that night, you also personally said that you would take responsibility, that you would marry her..." A wave of unease swept over Kelvin. These details, only Fiona herself would know so precisely! He abruptly grabbed Penelope's shoulders, "You... you..." A terrible thought flashed through his mind. But... Kelvin couldn't bear to consider it! Penelope covered her face, tears falling in big drops, "Kelvin, the woman that night wasn't Fiona, it was me..." Kelvin stood rigid.

In the living room, only the slight sounds of Penelope sobbing could be heard.

"Kelvin, from the beginning to the end, Fiona never appeared in the hotel. Because the woman given to the old man was me, the woman who rushed into your room in panic was me, even the woman you said you would marry, it was also me..." Penelope explained.

"The director of the mental institution luredout, knockedout, and sentto the hotel. Because the old man fancied Fiona, and the director couldn't bear to part with her, he choseto send in her place to please the old man" she continued.

Kelvin's face was a picture of shock, and he stumbled back several steps, his tall frunsteady.

He couldn't accept this truth! "You? No... It can't be!" Kelvin said, "I had already said I would marry you, why did you still run?!" "Because it was ignoble! I didn't know that man was you! I was the woman you left in the mental hospital as punishment and reparation. If you found out I'd lost my innocence, you would've been furious!" Planning your weekend reading?

Kelvin's chest heaved violently and his fists clenched tightly.

The truth was too cruel! "So, so..." Kelvin's raspy voice struggled to speak, "the child you're carrying..." "It was yours!" Penelope answered in despair, "Kelvin, it's your child, our child!" He felt as if he'd been punched hard, his back slowly bending, and then he becunsteady, dropping to one knee on the ground, hands bracing hard against the floor. His child...

What had he done?! "I was only with you that one night; I've been pure and clean ever since!" Penelope exclaimed, "How I wanted that child! I did everything I could to protect him, to bring him into this world... but Kelvin, what did you do? How could you harmand him!" "I jumped into the lake, and the child was fine. Fiona framed me, I fell down the stairs, and the child was fine. Through one disaster after another, my child and I survived. Who would have thought... that in the end... the child would die by your hand!" Penelope screamed as if her heart was being torn apart: "Kelvin, you killed our child with your own hands!" The emotions that had been building up all day erupted all at once! Penelope was heartbroken, in agony, on the verge of a mental breakdown, unable to bear the harsh reality.

Now, she had to speak out, she had to make Kelvin suffer the spain too! Penelope collapsed to the ground, her tears already blurring her vision. She couldn't see Kelvin's face clearly, just a vague silhouette.

With gritted teeth, she said, "You're in pain now, aren't you? You're full of guilt and wish you could kill yourself... well lettell you, Kelvin, my pain is no less than yours!" "You are the one who caused all of this! You are the executioner!" she screamed at him furiously.

"All that favoritism, indulgence you gave to Fiona, all that was supposed to be mine! And what happened instead? She ended up enjoying everything that should have been mine!" she exclaimed.

"Kelvin, how much longer will you hurt me, how much deeper!" Penelope asked, fed up and distraught. Every accusation from Penelope was like an invisible knife, stabbing deeply into Kelvin's heart. Pain. Even breathing hurt! Kelvin couldn't accept this reality! The bastard child he kept talking about, the child he was desperate to get rid of, whom he thought was a hurdle between him and Penelope, turned out to be... his own flesh and blood!

"No, it can't be, I don't believe it..." Kelvin clenched his teeth, his veins throbbing on his forehead, "It's a lie; everything you're saying is a lie!" Penelope answered, "Yes! I wish it were a lie! That all of this was just my speculation!" Both looked at each other, their eyes filled with despair.

Kelvin punched the ground hard, then slowly stood up. He tilted his head back, his Adam's apple rolling, a single tear slowly sliding down, getting lost in his hair. Men do not easily shed tears, only when the heart is truly broken.

Kelvin had never shed a tear in his life, but now was the exception. He quickly opened his eyes and shouted sharply, "Butler!" "Present, Mr. Davis," the butler promptly appeared at the door.

"Bring Fiona to me! And the director, as well as that old man!" he commanded.

"Yes," the butler obliged, swiftly.

Kelvin gritted his teeth, "The quicker, the better!" "Ha..." Penelope's sarcastic laughter filled the room. "Do you need to confront the truth in person before you believe this cruel reality?"
