Chapter 2744

“Are you still my best friend?” Chester gritted his teeth.

“The woman you’re talking about can’t possibly be Eliza, right?” Shaun said, “I noticed earlier on that
you were paying too much attention to her. I’m not saying it’s love, but there must be fondness and
admiration. However, the Chester I know is calm and composed. You have a lot of experience with
women. Even if you like someone, you can still control yourself and won’t torture yourself to this
miserable state.”

Chester’s expression was filled with self-deprecation.

Shaun was right. If Eliza was just Eliza, he could still back off even if he admired her.

Besides, he did intend to give up and distance himself from her initially.

However, after finding out that Eliza was Charity, Chester suddenly understood clearly that Charity had
always been in his heart.

His hatred and contempt for her back then were because of his intense love for her.

Nevertheless, he was unable to see the truth then.

When he got attracted to Eliza again, he realized that he would always love Charity deeply even if her
appearance had changed.

It was just that he was too selfish and realized it too late.

“I love her,” Chester said softly. “But she’ll never forgive me. There’s no way we can be together.” 1

Shaun’s expression was complicated. “This is absurd. Even you understand love now.”





“Yes. I understand love now, but I understood it too late.” Chester smiled bitterly. His gaze was
bloodshot. “Shaun, the current situation happened because I didn’t know how to love someone. For the
past two days, I couldn’t perform surgeries or sit down and work properly. My mind is constantly filled
with her, so I can only numb myself with alcohol.”

Shaun pressed his lips together. He had experienced Chester’s agony before. The most painful thing in
the world was to love someone but not be able to have them. “If you genuinely love her, try hard to gain
her forgiveness. You did force her before, but it’s fine as long as you’re sincere enough. If the first
attempt doesn’t work, go for a second, third, tenth, or even a hundredth attempt. You can also do many
things to help her or the people around her. You must change all of your faults in past relationships,
and you can’t be arrogant and sarcastic like before. What you have to do is learn how to dote on a
woman.

“Look at me. Didn’t I do many things that hurt Cathy in the past? I almost harmed our children, but we
still got back together in the end.”

Shaun raised his hand, which had a chopped finger. “ You can make amends for the points of conflict
between you two. I cut one of Logan’s fingers before, so I cut one of my own to return the debt. It
depends on how determined you are.”

“It would’ve been better if she was just Eliza…” Chester could not help but mutter.

“What?”

“Shaun, you don’t understand. The mistakes I made are way more serious than the ones you made.”

Chester looked at Shaun. “I owe her a life.”



Shaun was astonished. Then, he gasped. “What else did you do?”

“I think she’ll only forgive me if I die.” Chester laughed miserably. “I can agree to it if I can have a next
life. However, I might not be able to meet her in my next lifetime.”

The most unbearable thing in the world was two people knowing that they only loved each other, yet
they could not be together.

Suddenly, Shaun did not know what to say.

He thought that if he were Chester, he would be devastated too.
