You Hit My Heart
Chapter 500

Cecelia had been in the military for many years and was used to lifeand death, but now, she was nearly in a state of emotional collapse.She tried to stand up, but unfortunately, her legs squatted for too long,and the numbness and tingling sensation made her fall to the groundinstead.

She dropped to the floor in a heap.

Her mind went blank.

Then her cell phone rang shrill, and she answered the call like awalking corpse. Her hands were covered in blood, and stained thephone and even her cheek when she put her phone to her cheek."Hello." She answered the phone with a sobbing voice.

On the other end of the line, Ralph was clearly stunned. It had beenmore than twenty years since he had heard Cecelia like that. The lasttime was when the child was lost. Since then, Cecelia had dried hertears and had never cried again. In his mind, she had always beenincredibly strong, so strong that he admired her so much.

She could not have been so unless something big had happened."Cecelia, what's wrong? What happened? I heard you turned back toKhebury halfway," Ralph asked nervously.

“Ralph, I'm sorry. Dad passed away unexpectedly ... It's my fault, Ididn't keep an eye on him. He fell down the stairs, lost a lot of blood,and..." She sobbed, unable to speak anymore.

Ralph seemed to be struck by lightning so hard that he couldn't evenmake a sound for a long time.

On the phone, there was only silence.

"Today Charlotte also had a car accident, and now she is still in thehospital. It's not very serious though. I was in a hurry to get home, and Ididn't expect that something had already happened to Dad." Ceceliasat on the floor, buried her head deep into her knees, and had no ideawhat else she could say.

"Cecelia, I don't blame you, I'll be right back."

Ralph was a responsible man, and Cecelia had sacrificed too much forthe Heath family. He had always owed her. What else could he want tohave a wife like her in this life.

“You stay at home, you rest and adjust your emotions, I'll take care ofthe rest.” He cared eagerly.

"Mmm." Cecelia was tired, and at times like this, she needed someoneto lean on.

"Don't tell Charlotte yet. She was hit by a car; her placenta wasunstable and she fainted in pain. Although she's awake now, she can'tbear such a bad news. Let's keep the matter of dad from her for a dayor two." Cecelia said for Charlotte's sake.

"Got it. I'l make arrangements. Wait for me."

Ralph finished and hurriedly hung up the phone.

Whirling around, he beckoned his adjutant.

Although in the Capital he also had important things to take care of, hejust had to put them all aside with such an accident at home.

He gave a detailed account to his adjutant, and then set outimmediately with some of his men.

After Cecelia hung up the phone, she remembered that Charlotte wasstill waiting for her call. But she was in such a state that there was noway she could manage to talk on the phone with her voice as usual.So, she sent a text message to Charlotte.

"Everything's alright at home, you rest first."

Soon, Charlotte replied with a text, "Okay, Mom."

Cecelia's eyes were just vacant as she looked at her phone, whichturned bright and then dark. Finally it returned to endless darkness.She could just try her best to keep that from Charlotte.

She could just try.

Then, she put her hands tightly over her cheeks and hung her headhelplessly, once again sinking into boundless pain.
