Chapter 557


    After hanging up, Tina coughed strongly. She took over a few tissues to cover her mouth. She knew


    that she wasn’t long for this world.


    She almost coughed the air out of the lung just now. Erica brought her some hot water, seeing the


    blood had dyed the tissue red.


    "Master, drink some water." The blood frightened Erica, but Tina was calm. Perhaps she was used


    to it, she wiped off the blood and dumped the tissue into the can, no trace of surprise on her face.


    She drank the hot water, but her heart remained cold. "What''s the date today?"


    "Master, we just have passed Christmas. Didn''t you just watch the live stream of Miss Xia''s perfume


    promotion?" Erica said.


    Tina was quite good at memorizing, and she inherited it well from the R family. They were born to


    be more talented in many aspects of abilities, including memory.


    So, how could she forget such simple things as dates? It just represented that her health condition


    was deteriorating.


    "Yes, howe I forgot it?" Tina smiled, then she grabbed the tablet on one side and clicked on


    some videos, which were all about Tracey.


    "Look at my girl, she''s really amazing." Tina said. She didn’t have to conceal the truth from Erica.


    "How could your daughter not be good? I heard that her new sales model was praised, and her


    perfume had earned a reputation. Oh, by the way..." Erica thought of something.


    "What?" Tina looked at her suspiciously.


    Erica took out a carefully packaged box. It was a unique custom- made perfume and there was a


    gift card put along with it.


    "Mom, merry Christmas!"


    No signature below. Seeing these strong hand-written words, Tina''s eyes once again blurred by the


    tears.


    "What a silly girl. I didn''t admit her, and deliberately ignored her, but she insisted on recognizing me


    as her mother." Tina cried like a child.


    Seeing the tough woman who acted strongly like a queen to others but now sitting on the bed crying


    with sorrow, Erica could only sigh.


    "Master, Miss Xia is clever. She didn''t put her name. She must have detected something."


    "You’re right, Tracey was smart all the time.


    She is so smart that she should live long in this world." Tina had never regretted on the decision of


    bringing Tracey to a normal life.


    "Now Miss Xia is popr with the business circle. She didn''t insult the genes of the R family. She


    should be better than many people." Erica was proud of Tracey too.


    "R family? Hah. On the surface, it looks bright with glory. But if I can make a choice, I''d rather not be


    born in this family. I want to live as an ordinary woman."


    "I know, Master. I know your feeling." Erica did understand Tina''s mind, including the reason why


    she asked Neymar toe back.


    She was afraid that Neymar would tell Tracey the truth. Tina not only schemed against others but


    also schemed against her own love. She did so much was merely for protecting Tracey well.


    "Erica, you''ve been working for me for many years, you know me as well as I know you.


    I am indeed afraid that he bothered Tracey by telling her the truth. Besides, I have one more


    motivation; I am not too long for this world, and I want to keep him by my side for the rest of my


    days.


    "Master, do you..." Erica was shocked. She thought after going through Ben’s betrayal, she would


    never fall in love with any man.


    "I am not a heartless woman. I knew how well he treats me. I never respond to his affection was


    because I feared it. I knew that I cannot apany him long.


    If I can’t give him happiness, it was better not to give him any hope, so I always pushed him away,


    but..." Something seemed to hit Tina''s head, and her eyes were shining with gentle lights.


    "But I want to see him so much. I pushed him away because I don''t want him to see how haggard I


    am, and I don''t want to make him distressed.


    I can''t help thinking about him and I am eager to see him. I know I am selfish, but I can''t control my


    feeling..." Tina said.


    Tina bit the quilt and cried silently, in Erica''s memory, she had never seen her master getting crazy


    like this.


    All the time, Tina had always surrounded herself with indifference and never let anyone get close to


    her. She was intended to protect the people she cared about in this way, however she hurt herself


    seriously at the same time.


    Erica was really sad about Tina and she leaned over to hold her. "Master, you didn''t do anything


    wrong. I think Mr. Hawkins would like to stay by your side.


    Compared to the torture of getting apart, it''s better to stay together. Do you think that Mr. Hawkins


    will give up loving you if you push him away?


    When you left him and married Ben, he was there and waited for you toe back. These years,


    no matter how you treated him, his love never changed.


    I know you wanted him to find his true love and create his own family, so that breaks free from the


    affection to you.

    But after so many years, Mr. Hawkins had never changed. He still loved you, and he loved you so


    much even going crazy. You know this, why not stop cheating yourself?


    Do you think that...he would love others after you leave the world? He had so strong love for you,


    no matter whether you are in the world or not, he will love you as always.


    I won''t guarantee other men, but Mr. Hawkins, I am sure that he loves you with certainty. Master,


    don''t push him away again. I really don''t want to see you both torture each other." Only Erica saw


    Tina''s injuries. She was used to hiding it and carry all hardships alone, so, she wanted Neymar to


    let go and move on.


    Tina had noticed her health condition long ago, and she transferred Neymar away with excuses,


    however, she missed something.


    She underestimated Neymar''s love. His love was deeper than she imagined. If Ben was the wound


    on Tina''s heart, Neymar was the cure for this wound.


    With Neymar''sfort, Tina didn''t hate Ben nor hated Carmen. After he was transferred, Tina


    finally faced the truth that she had fallen in love with Neymar deeply.


    She suddenly regretted it. "I thought I was smart, but you see my heart more clearly than I do. I


    have wasted too much time."


    "Master, it''s notte as long as you change your mind. Mr. Hawkins has always been waiting there,


    and you''ll be able to see him when you look back." Ericaforted.
