Chapter 1432

Kick Up A Fuss

No, that’s still different. The reason I made a move against her wasn’t that Himari was evil. Instead, it
was because she had dirt on me, and I didn’t want Solomon to learn about it. That was why I wanted to
silence her. Therefore, I’m still wicked.

“Ichika?”

“Go back, Sha. I got it. Thank you.”

Sitting on the hospital bed with her head lowered, the girl whose eyes had dimmed again didn’t say
anything else after saying that in a muffled voice.



At the sight of Ichika’s crestfallen state, Sasha was rendered speechless.



It looks like this isn’t the worry she’s hiding.

Having no other recourse, she could only sigh before getting to her feet.



“By the way, Ichika, do you know the state Solomon was in when you were in the operating theater?”
she glanced back over her shoulder and asked, suddenly recalling that when she had already reached
the door.

Ichika lifted her eyes once more.





Sasha then continued, “He was trembling all over. Unbelievable, right? I’ve known him for so many
years, but it was my first time seeing him so terrified.”

Nevertheless, Ichika didn’t respond to that.

“Therefore, Ichika, don’t push him away. You’ve finally pulled him out of the abyss after much difficulty,
so don’t shove him back into it. Promise me that, will you?” Sasha urged.

She stood at the hospital room door with eyes brimming with hope and imploration that would tug on
the heartstrings of anyone who beheld her at that moment.

When Ichika jolted back to her senses, and the person at the door had also left, she clutched her chest
and threw herself onto the bed. The pain was so harrowing that she couldn’t quite breathe, and tears
escaped her eyes.

I don’t want to do that either! I never want to push him back into the abyss when I love him so much.
But will he forgive me? If he were to learn that the eight-year-old girl back then was me, would he still
forgive me? When the psychologist put him under hypnosis in Jadeborough, he found that there were
three traumatic incidents that brought about his illness. One was the abandonment of his
mother, Yancy, when he was a child. Then, it was the time he was bitten by a dog when his mother
forced him to beg on the streets. And lastly, it was the humiliation he suffered when he first came to
Jetroina when he was eighteen years old.

The doctor also said that if the incidents during his childhood were the seeds sown, then his life
experience after he was eighteen years old was the true beginning of when hatred took root. Enduring
the humiliation, he took over Sinch Enterprise before launching frenetic revenge against Hayes
Corporation and Frederick Hayes. Actually, it was all because of that incident. So, was I the culprit who
caused him to harbor that hatred back then?



She wept in the hospital room for a long, long time.

When Solomon returned after seeing the Hayeses off, he instantly panicked upon noticing her
condition.

“What happened? Why are your eyes swollen? Did you cry?”

He hastened over to scrutinize her, but Ichika abruptly shied away.

She turned her head away, her expression rather detached.

“I’m fine. It’s just that my mother visited just now,” she fibbed.

Sure enough, an intelligent person could lie flawlessly the second she opened her mouth.

Solomon truly didn’t suspect anything. He merely frowned. “Why did she visit again? In that case, how
about we just have you discharged? We’ll stay at my house here. Then, your mother can’t visit
anymore.”

After seeing that she cried, he even detested his own mother-in-law then.

Ichika was dumbfounded.

In that instance, it felt as though she had been stabbed in the heart since he had never pampered her
that much in the past.

Why is this happening? He has finally recovered from his illness and accepted me! Yet, why did things
come to this?

She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug deep into her palms.

“No, thanks. I’m going to the temple after I’m discharged.”



“What did you just say?”

At once, Soloman’s gaze snapped to her. Because he was hearing that for a second time, a trace of
displeasure finally manifested on his handsome face.

“I don’t want to hear that anymore. Be good, okay? I’ll go and settle the discharge procedures for you
now, and we’ll leave right away.” After saying that, the man spun around to go out and get the
discharge procedures done.

As soon as Ichika heard that, she panicked.

“Did you not understand me, Akiyama? I said I wanted to get a divorce! We can’t be together anymore!”

At that moment, the man’s expression turned as dark as night.

A divorce? Is she baiting me to teach her a lesson before she’d stop spouting nonsense? But well, that
makes sense. She’s just twenty years old, so it’s only normal that she likes to kick up a fuss!

Solomon then whirled around again.

Glimpsing the expression on his face, Ichika promptly froze on the hospital bed. She had no idea what
he wanted to do and merely stared at him blankly until the terrifying man stopped in front of her.

“W-What do you want from me?”

“What do you think?” he gritted out.

Without giving her an opportunity to gather her wits about her, he reached out and scooped her up from
the bed, cradling her in his arms.

“Darling!”



Shrieking in fright, Ichika frantically wrapped her arms around the man’s neck and reflexively blurted
that familiar endearment in her panic.

When Soloman heard that, he finally smiled a little.

Sure enough, she needed to be taught a lesson!

That afternoon itself, he forcefully brought her to a villa he had there. As for her going to a temple,
that’s certainly impossible!
