Chapter 340 - Three Hundred And Forty-one: End It (2/2)

But it was heartbreaking though, the man she had lived with for almost fifty years hadn't bothered to visit her even for once after hearing of her illness. Maybe, this was her karma for all the horrible things she did to Maya.

Thinking about Maya brought tears to Angela's eyes, what had she been thinking then maltreating her? She was her daughter for Christ's sake! If only there was a way to turn back the hands of the clock, she would have done it. But then, all that remains was regret.

Though she doubted Maya would speak to her but coming to the wedding that day had been her way of making peace before she left this world. Angela knew inwardly that she would never have peace in the underworld if she doesn't make peace with that child. She just needed a second chance with her daughter, Lia before she leaves this world.

Angela couldn't tell how long she was lost in her world of thoughts, but when she came around, she felt bored like never before. Though she was in a VIP room, the environment reeked of loneliness which sent chills deep to her bones. She didn't like the feeling one bit which made her pick up her phone to call Sakuzi.

Valentino? She chuckled, life was indeed funny. Though he had been the one who banished her daughter, he had been the first person to seek her out and inevitably found out about her sickness-he even helped her try to unite with her daughter. She just couldn't know what kind of person he was?

She had done nothing but use him crudely and break his heart over and over again, yet he never bore any grudge against her, Why? Why couldn't he hate her as Alfred and Maya did? She just couldn't him at all.

Angela bit her lips nervously and then called him. She was lonely right now and needed company. One must imagine how happy and relieved she was when the man answered.

”H-Hello Valentino,” She said, her heart thumping loudly in her chest. Angela knew it was wrong of her to call him after everything she has done to him - she was supposed to let him go - but she needed a companion. She wouldn't mind his face being the last thing she would see before she dies.

”Hello Angela,” He answered.

”I know I don't deserve your attention but can you please come over… ” she took a deep breath, ” I need someone by my side so much,” she told him the truth.

Angela was not a fool to deceive herself into starting something with him, especially not now she was dying - her chance was over. The man had loved her so much to the point of divorcing his wife just so they could be together, but what had she done? Used him and tossed him away like a bag of dirt.

The whole world viewed Valentino as a cruel businessman but only people close to him knew the man never joked with his loved ones - a knowledge she had known and abused.

”Valentino, I just want - huh? ” confusion crossed her features when the call disconnected suddenly.

What happened? Could it be the network? Hence she tried his line once again, but there was no connection which was strange, Valentino would never hang up on her. Or would he? It finally dawned on Angela, she was truly alone.

After a while of waiting for Valentino with no success, Angela began to contemplate suicide, what was the point of living like this? Living with pancreatic cancer was not easy at all; she was half her normal weight due to the weight loss nor did she have much appetite for food; abdominal pain that radiates to her back; fatigue and a hell load of others.

Why go through all these pains, why not just end it all? She knew Kimberly would be hurt by her death - if not devastated - but she had to stop being a burden to the poor daughter - The girl had a lot on her plate.

Having made up her mind, she picked up the knife that her daughter Kim has used to slice the apples earlier. If she slit her wrist, it would be less gruesome since she would bleed to death before help comes.

It seems that she wouldn't be able to earn the forgiveness she needs from Maya. But she had to do this. Having made up her mind, Angela was about to slit her hands when the door to her room was opened and someone asked,

”What the hell do you're doing?”
