Who Hurt You (2)

Alina had said a lot of bad things about Jayden, but Silvia did not believe any of them. Alina had a bad reputation and it was possible that she was just trying to slander Jayden. However, Felix was different. He was the person whom Silvia trusted the most.  As long as Felix said that Jayden was not the one who hurt him, Silvia would believe it, and vice versa. However, just when Silvia thought that Felix would give her a negative reply, Felix refused to utter a word. Felix's silence gave Silvia a bad feeling. She was afraid that things would not turn out as how she had expected. "Felix, say something." After a long silence, Felix cleared his throat and avoided Silvia's gaze. He slowly said, "Silvia, don't believe whatever Alina says to you. What she said is not true." Alina was exasperated to the point that she was stamping her feet. She rebuked, "Felix, can't you just man up and tell her the truth? Do you think you're helping Silvia by hiding it from her? You're just pushing her into the fire pit yourself." "Per... Perhaps, I don't deserve to be a man. I just hope that the person I love can be happy," said Felix, with a hoarse voice that Silvia had never heard before. Silvia's heart ached when she heard Felix's words. However, she was more eager to know the truth, so she said, "Felix, please tell me the truth. If you really want the best for me, then you should just tell me." "The truth?" Felix finally broke his silence, "Do you really want to know the truth? Even if it is something unacceptable?" "Felix..." Silvia was inexplicably flustered when she heard Felix's question but she still nodded her head. She needed to know the truth and clear Jayden's name. More importantly, she had to find out who was the culprit who wanted to kill Felix. "I don't know if it was Jayden who did it, but this is what I heard from the people who kidnapped me. They said that an influential figure in Madison City wanted to kill me off and they also said that it was because that person had a crush on my girlfriend." Felix looked out of the window. Although he seemed casual about it, one could tell that his eyes were full of agony. "Felix..." Silvia saw it and understood what Felix was saying. When it came to influential figures in Madison City, it would be none other than Jayden. But would Jayden really be this cruel just because he wanted her? Silvia did not know. Her mind was in a complete mess at this very moment.  Felix reached out his hand and patted Silvia's shoulder. He consoled her in a gentle voice, "Silvia, these are all hearsays. There's no evidence to prove that Jayden was behind all these." "Felix, you..." Alina looked at Felix covetously. To her, Felix was such an outstanding man, so much so that she could only look up to him. On the other hand, Felix was always cold to her. It was only when he was with Silvia that Alina would be able to see the gentle side of him. If Felix could share even a tad of that gentleness that he gave to Silvia, she would have no more regrets in this life. Felix interrupted Alina and stopped her from speaking, "Alina, please go back to your room and I don't want to hear you talking nonsense ever again." "Why are you doing this to yourself, Felix?" Alina was reluctant to leave, but her job was done. She must go according to the script and leave in time. Hence, she had no choice but to listen to Felix and went back to her room. "So you believe it wasn't Jayden?" Although Felix had given Silvia a negative answer, Silvia couldn't ignore the look on his face and the meaning behind his words. There was no evidence to prove that Jayden was behind it. But that was because they had not found any evidence to prove it. Hence, Felix probably still believed that it was Jayden who did it. After all, the most influential figure in Madison City was from the Kyle family, and also wanted Felix's woman. Jayden fulfilled all the specifications. Jayden was a Kyle and he had so happened to bring her back home not long after Felix had gone missing. Silvia did not want to believe it, but she had no choice but to admit that it had something to do with her. Would Jayden really hire someone to kill Felix? She did not know! Felix still had not given Silvia a clear answer. "Silvia, regardless whether I believe that Jayden is the killer, it is still a fact that he loves you and dotes on you. So you should live a good life with him and don't think too much about it. My greatest wish is for you to live a happy life. As for who kidnapped me and almost killed me, all of these are not important at all." "Felix, why are you so stupid? That person wanted to kill you, but you're still defending him." After everything that had happened, almost everyone had changed. Silvia had changed, Jayden had changed, but not Felix. He was still the same. He was warm like he used to be. Now that someone had actually harmed him, he would still be repaying grievances with virtue. Felix said calmly, "Silvia, let's just let bygones be bygones. We should just look ahead of us. Only then can we live the life we want, instead of dwelling in the past." "Felix... This is not the matter of moving on from it or not. He had hurt you so badly, so he must pay the price for it." He was her Felix. She once said that no matter who hurt him, she would make the person pay for it. "Felix, if it's really Jayden, I will definitely give you an explanation." Felix shook his head, "Silvia, it doesn't matter whether it's him. What matters now is that you live a good life." "No, we must find out the truth." Silvia turned around and went to the kitchen. When she came out again, she had a fruit knife in her hand. She grabbed her long hair and cut off a tuft of her hair. "Felix, if it's really him, I will pay it back on his behalf. If I ever go back on my words, I will end up like this tuft of hair. "Silvia, are you crazy?" Felix grabbed her and took away the fruit knife from her. "Silvia, I've said it before. Let bygones be bygones. You don't have to pay it back on his behalf." How could he make Silvia repay him on Jayden's behalf? All Felix wanted was to make Silvia see Jayden's true colors. He wanted her to come back to him, not hurt herself to protect Jayden. The more she protected him, the colder Felix's heart became. At that instant, he really wanted to rip off Jayden's head and kick it like a ball. "Felix, we've wronged you. This is something I must do to repay you." This time, it was no longer 'he' or 'me', but 'we'. This was an indirect indication that she and Jayden were family. She was willing to bear all the consequences to Jayden's mistake with him. "You're breaking my heart by doing this." Felix let out a bitter smile. "All this time, I've always treated you as the most important person in my life. Seeing you cut off your hair to make your stand is more painful than getting stabbed with a knife." "Felix... I..." Silvia did not want to upset Felix, but she had subconsciously chosen to stand on Jayden's side.
