Rebirth to Be with My Disabled Husband

Chapter 61 What Does This Brat Know?

“Ms. Stuart, your…” Elias struggled to find the right words. He felt he had been unjustly blamed. “My abilities are limited. I couldn’t develop the antidote, so it’s not entirely my fault, right?”

Daphne looked at him with a dismissive snort. “If you can’t develop the antidote, that just means you’re useless. However, if you can help resolve the issues between Mrs. and Mr. Dean, then you might actually prove yourself valuable.”

After all that talk, she just wanted him to help smooth things between Samantha and Finley. She could’ve asked directly. Was all this indirect criticism of his medical skills necessary?

Without giving Elias a chance to speak, Daphne laid out a plan. “I believe Mr. Dean still has feelings for Mrs. Dean, but they can’t be together due to his health. His condition is worsening daily, and if he can’t be with her, he won’t be able to keep the family name alive. So…

Before she could finish, he interrupted, already understanding. “I get it, Ms. Stuart. I know what you want me to do. Don’t worry. I’ll get it done. With that somewhat cryptic remark, he turned and walked away.

Daphne was left speechless. She hadn’t finished explaining, yet this brat Elias seemed to understand her intentions. She wanted him to pretend to pursue Samantha to make Finley jealous, but how did he get that from what she said?

As she watched Elias‘ retreating figure, she furrowed her brow.

In the room, Samantha looked at Finley, who was still asleep. She lightly brushed his face with her hand. Exhausted, she lay next to him and soon drifted off to sleep.

When she woke up again, he was no longer in bed. She groggily went to wash up before heading to the living room to find him.

Samantha saw him sitting in a wheelchair in the courtyard. So, she approached and squatted beside him. “What are you looking at?”

Finley wasn’t wearing his mask that day. His complexion was pale, and he closed his without saying a word. The warm sunlight bathed him.

Just as she thought he wouldn’t say anything, he began, “This is the first time I’ve removed my mask and sat in the sun. I used to live in darkness with no light around me. I thought my world would always be dark, but you came along like a light piercing through my darkness.”

He continued, “But Samantha, when someone becomes accustomed to the dark, they don’t to be disturbed. And now, you’ve disturbed me. You quietly entered my world, and I dislike this feeling. You say you like me, but I have no feelings for you. So, take your love and disappear from my life forever.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Samantha was left speechless. She had hoped that Finley’s recent gentleness was a sign he was beginning to accept her, but it seemed she was wrong. His heart remained closed to her. It looked like she would have to keep trying.

She looked at him and said earnestly, “Finley, no matter what you say, I won’t leave you.”
