You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 500

Cecelia had been in the military for many years and was used to life and death, but now, she was nearly in a state of emotional collapse. She tried to stand up, but unfortunately, her legs squatted for too long, and the numbness and tingling sensation made her fall to the ground instead.

She dropped to the floor in a heap.

Her mind went blank.

Then her cell phone rang shrilly, and she answered the call like a walking corpse. Her hands were covered in blood, and stained the phone and even her cheek when she put her phone to her cheek.

"Hello." She answered the phone with a sobbing voice.

On the other end of the line, Ralph was clearly stunned. It had been more than twenty years since he had heard Cecelia like that. The last time was when the child was lost. Since then, Cecelia had dried her tears and had never cried again. In his mind, she had always been incredibly strong, so strong that he admired her so much.

She could not have been so unless something big had happened.

"Cecelia, what's wrong? What happened? I heard you turned back to Khebury halfway," Ralph asked nervously.

"Ralph, I'm sorry. Dad passed away unexpectedly ... It's my fault, I didn't keep an eye on him. He fell down the stairs, lost a lot of blood, and…" She sobbed, unable to speak anymore.

Ralph seemed to be struck by lightning so hard that he couldn't even make a sound for a long time.

On the phone, there was only silence.

"Today Charlotte also had a car accident, and now she is still in the hospital. It’s not very serious though. I was in a hurry to get home, and I didn't expect that something had already happened to Dad." Cecelia sat on the floor, buried her head deep into her knees, and had no idea what else she could say.

"Cecelia, I don't blame you, I'll be right back."

Ralph was a responsible man, and Cecelia had sacrificed too much for the Heath family. He had always owed her. What else could he want to have a wife like her in this life.

"You stay at home, you rest and adjust your emotions, I'll take care of the rest." He cared eagerly.
