You Hit My Heart
Chapter 460

"How did you get away?" Joyce wondered how Justin was able toescape from Derrick when he was in a wheelchair and unable to walk."Because the man Derrick sent to spy on me was once in debt to me.When his mother was seriously ill, I helped them and his mother finallysurvived. He couldn't stand Derrick's insane competition for power andsent me away secretly and falsely claimed to Derrick that he hadplaced me under house arrest. After I escaped, I realized there wasmore to it than that and had to get my act together to replace out the truthabout what happened. I contacted an old friend and asked him tosecretly help me get to Mufron for surgery. The surgery went smoothly,and while I was recovering, I worked on my daily rehab, trying to getback to my feet, and using my contacts to investigate Derrick. Now Ihad all the evidence for the two years. I was in Mufron, quietly waitingfor the right time. Finally, with all the evidence in hand, I appeared infront of Derrick and my father at the board meeting for the change ofthe heir, and exposed all his schemes on the spot. I dealt him theultimate blow. In the aftermath, Derrick had to quit the Hendersonfamily bank, but of course I wouldn't let him go to jail because he is mybrother and I have to protect the honor of the Henderson family."Justin finished; his bright eyes full of apologies.

"After I returned home, I've been following your news, I knoweverything you've suffered, but I don't have the face to see you. Imissed you too much, and I've been looking for the right time to appearin front of you again.”

Joyce listened and took a deep breath.

She felt a sense of relief when she was clear about the past, and eventhe air around her felt extra fresh.

She tried to pull her hand back from Justin's grasp, but Justin held onto her firmly.

"Joyce, I have set up my own financial and venture capital companyand have separated myself from the Henderson family bank. From nowon, I will not be subject to anyone, much less to the Henderson family,so rest assured that the pain you once suffered will never happenagain." He said solemnly.

Joyce sighed lightly, "Justin, in fact, the night before the World ShootingChampionships, I agreed to meet with you, and I actually wanted to talkto you clearly. I hope you can understand that my feelings for you havenever been love. It's just that at that time I was being chased and youhad an accident. I have not been able to say these words again.”Justin's eyes dimmed, and he couldn't have known better.

He knew it too well that she did not love him and the reason why sheagreed to meet him was to make everything clear. And it was preciselyfor this reason that he became so desperate that he gave himself upwhen he fell off the cliff and woke up to replace himself unable to move hislegs.

He had no way to keep her around, and privately hoped to tether her inthis way and keep her with him.

He hated his own leg disability so much that he was desperate toescape from reality, fearing that he would never be able to stand upand let go of his obsession with her.

He made all sorts of big mistakes that even he himself could neverforgive himself.

"Joyce, I understand. I can't forgive myself for what I've done. I can’treally ask you to forgive me." He let go of her hand, his eyes revealingan unprecedented determination, "Give me a chance to spend the restof my life making up for you."

Joyce slowly lowered her head, “I have not resented you, so there is noforgiveness. You don't need to have a burden in your heart. Althoughthe truth of the matter is that your brother wanted to harm you, I amalso responsible for all this. After all, at that time you did it for me, andyou broke up with the Henderson family for me, and only then couldDerrick have the opportunity to attack us. Anyway, since the day youand I knew each other, all the things that happened afterwards seemedjust inevitable. Maybe that’s just our destiny. You don't have to blameyourself, and I don't have to worry about it anymore. I think it's good forus to talk about it now.”

"By the way, there are two things that I should return to you.” Sheopened her bag and took out two boxes, one large and the other a littlesmaller. In fact, she had put them in her bag for a long time, alwaysthinking of replaceing an opportunity to return it to him, but she washesitant, afraid that it would hurt him again. Since they had talked aboutit all today, she had no worries.

Justin watched as she pushed the two boxes in front of him, his heart"jumped" and he had a bad feeling.

He reached out his hand, trembling slightly, and silently opened thebox.

Inside the larger box was his watch. Once, he asked the nurse to pawnthis limited edition watch.

In the smaller box lay a diamond ring, which he recognized, of course.He had asked the nurse to buy the ring for him with the money he hadgot from pawning his watch.

His heart sank heavily. To his surprise, today, she would return them tohim.

Joyce pointed to the watch, "After you disappeared, I had asked thenurse about your watch, and then I got enough money to get it back. Iknow that you really like this watch."

Justin pursed his thin lips. What she did for him made him more moved.However, her return of the ring made his heart feel empty anduncomfortable. If she kept the ring, then he still had some chance, andnow, she was even returning all the possibilities to him.

"As for the ring, I'm sorry, Justin, I can't take it." She said with a sultrylook.

“Is it because, Luther?" asked Justin suddenly.

Joyce froze and didn't answer for half a second.

Was it because of Luther? Even she didn't know the answer.

The surrounding area got even quieter, so quiet that even the sound oftheir breathing could be heard clearly. Justin's breath was gettingheavier and heavier, urgent and tight, making the surroundingatmosphere even more stagnant.

In the end, he accepted the watch and the ring, with a bitter smile onhis lips, and said, "Joyce, this ring is too humble for you, and I wouldhave liked to have it back. I will get you a new one, and one day I willput it on for you with my own hands."

Joyce froze slightly.

Justin had also changed. He was much more mature than before, morespirited, more persistent, and more confident. After all these things, hehad grown up completely, and it was foreseeable that in the near future,he would make something great in the financial circle.

“It's late today, we'll talk some other time." Eventually, Joyce spoke up."Good." Justin stopped pushing, he had said a lot today and it was timeto leave her some space and time to digest.

When Justin left, Joyce remained immersed in the truth of what he saidabout the past, and it was difficult to extricate herself.

She paced back and forth under the Eden Apartment to ease herfrustration.

Unexpectedly, in the darkness, behind the big tree, a person came outof the shadows.

When she saw the face clearly, she was stunned in place - it wasLuther.

What was he doing in Eden Apartment?
