Chapter 2239： Atonement is useless

The third update today, please recommend, please subscribe!

Looking at Katherine Bell and Robert Hawks hurting each other, Evan Bell didn't know what to say.

Evan Bell knew that Robert Hawkes was on his father's side and wanted to atone for his sins. After he went through hell, he finally re-established a relationship with Catherine Bell. On Christmas at the end of last year, although the Bell family lived in New York, Katherine Bell called Robert Hawks for the first time in 30 years. On the phone, the two sides greeted each other, which was unimaginable for Robert Hawkes before.

So, Robert Hawkes wants to be nicer to Katherine Bell and make up for the regrets of all these years, but he is a tough stubborn old man who doesn't know what to do at all. If Jenny Hawkes is still alive, then she It can be the lubricant between husband and daughter, and things will be much easier. But now, Robert Hawks wants to make amends, but he doesn't know how to do it. He can only think of a stupid way of "teaching William Bell a lesson and venting his anger for his daughter".

But for Catherine Bell, she and William Bell have reunited in the past few years. Faced with Edward Schmidt, who has completely lost his memory, she also struggled psychologically, and finally decided to give up her past grievances and not keep Live in the imaginary of "if..." and refocus on real life. Although life is very hard, but now everything is over, Katherine Bell has a big enough heart to face everything in the past, so she doesn't need any compensation at all, she just wants to enjoy life now, including children They, including Dibs-Francis and Robert-Hawks.

In fact, in Evan Bell's view, atonement is a very selfish psychology. Those who have committed sins and made mistakes, in order to make up for their mistakes, do something to the victim in the name of "atonement", but Whether these things are the atonement that the victim needs is often not considered clearly. They think more about not being tormented by their own conscience. In fact, it is not so much to make compensation for the victim as to allow the atonement to sleep peacefully. selfish behavior.

Of course, this kind of thinking is a bit biased, because the act of atonement may also be an attitude of admitting wrongs, and it is a manifestation of knowing wrongs and being able to correct them. However, Evan Bell believes that instead of thinking about atonement, it is better to keep the fault in mind and treat the victim with real considerate warmth in the future, not the mentality of "compensation", let alone the mentality of "redemption". It's a real rehab.

Many times, people want to atone for their sins but don't know how to correct their mistakes. This is the worst thing. The hit work "Atonement" in the annual awards season actually tells such a story. The girl made false testimony because of her one-sided thinking and misunderstanding, and ruined the life of a pair of lovers. As a result, the lovers were separated forever and depressed. And finally. In order to atone for her sins, the girl reflected on her own mistakes, and wrote the whole story into a novel, hoping to make the lovers clear and reveal the truth to the public. But the girl himself knew that her sins could never be redeemed, because the lovers had opened up the world forever.

The "redemption" of the fruit of redemption is a decision based on one's own standpoint, but there is no way to change the damage caused by "sin".

It is this kind of redemptive mentality that Robert Hawks holds, and he wants to make amends, but he ignores it. Many things have happened to Catherine Bell over the years that he does not know, and the woman in front of him is not the 18-year-old girl. , she is already the mother of two children, and has created a world of her own. For Catherine Bell, the so-called "sin" is no longer important, and Robert Hawks naturally does not need to "atone".

Under such circumstances, it is naturally difficult for Robert Hawks and Catherine Bell to talk together. The dialogue between father and daughter, and it is still the first time after 30 years, is really too difficult. As he spoke, he quarreled. When a quarrel begins, people often say something out of their mind and then stab each other hard. That's what happened to Robert Hawks, and that's what happened to Catherine Bell.

Evan Bell knew what happened to Robert Hawks and Catherine Bell, but he couldn't do anything because he was on Katherine Bell's side, unconditionally, right or wrong. What's more, he didn't know how to communicate with Robert Hawkes, he went to preach to Robert Hawkes? In what position? Evan Bell has always had no real sense of the "grandfather" relationship.

There was silence in the hall, and no one spoke. Robert Hawks walked slowly towards the study with a cane. The decadent and thin back made people very sad. Catherine Bell turned her head stubbornly, but when she heard Robert Hawks' slow The anger in her heart still dissipated little by little, and she also realized how terrible the accusation she had just made was like a sharp blade piercing Robert Hawkes' heart.

Standing in place, Catherine Bell was also a little overwhelmed. She wanted to stop Robert Hawkes, but her voice seemed to be stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say anything. Seeing the back of Robert Hawks disappearing at the door of the study, Catherine Bell looked around helplessly, but her eyes stopped on Evan Bell.

When she saw Evan Bell, Katherine Bell's blank eyes turned into a look of help, as if she hoped that Evan Bell could enter the study to persuade Robert Hawkes. Evan Bell looked at his mother's eyes and pointed to himself in surprise. He originally thought that Teddy Bell would be more suitable. After all, Teddy Bell came early today, and he also knew the ins and outs of the matter. He now I don't know why the two of them mentioned William Bell well. You must know that last time Dibbos Francis flew over to London and helped take care of Robert Hawkes the whole time, which obviously left a good impression on the old man. , so why bring up William Bell? But Catherine Bell chose Evan Bell who didn't understand the situation.

Evan Bell hesitated for a while, but he still couldn't say no to his mother after all, so he had no choice but to glance at Teddy Bell, and after receiving a "you can do it" look, Evan Bell turned to face him. Walking in the direction of the study, I also caught sight of Eden Hudson's look on his face watching the show, and he was immediately depressed.

Standing at the door of the study, Evan Bell knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside. Eibel looked back and saw Catherine Bell's uneasy eyes, he sighed lightly, turned his head and again Knocked on the door, but there was still no response, he whispered, "I'm in."

"Then he pushed open the door of the study.

In the study, Robert Hawks was sitting on the back chair with a tired face. It was obvious that the quarrel and the last fatal blow had consumed almost all his physical strength. Evan Bell's entry only allowed Robert Hawks to lift it. Lift your eyelids, and then there is no more reaction.

Evan Bell sat down in the chair opposite the desk where the guests sat, and he was silent for a while before he said, "You know Catherine didn't mean that, although you can't deny that she is telling the truth." Evan Bell was obviously rubbing salt on Robert Hawks' wound, which made Robert Hawkes raise his head suddenly, staring fiercely at Bell, the dog.

"You don't have to look at me like that, it doesn't work for me." Guwen-Bell said calmly, "You know what Catherine said is the truth, and at the same time, Catherine also knows that what you said is the truth. It's that simple, everyone is at fault, and you've been tormented by your own mistakes all these years."

When Catherine Bell learned that Robert Hawkes was hospitalized with a cerebral hemorrhage, she seemed to lose her spirits. She knew that although she had been very strong all these years and didn't say anything, she was actually silent in her heart. endure all this. Isn't that the case with Robert Hawkes? After Jenny Hawkes died, he was alone in this world. For thirty years, he was also paying for his original stubbornness.

"So, you don't have to investigate the source of the matter, and you don't need to try to make amends with the mentality of atonement. Let's look at it now, and see who else is worth your attention." Evan Bell's words made Robert Hawks stare at his face, but he couldn't say a word of rebuttal, "Compared to atonement and compensation, your health is what Catherine wants to see the most~ www.novelhall.com ~ as if you wanted to see Katherine happy."

Robert Hawks wanted to teach William Bell a lesson, not just to seek justice for Catherine Bell, and to push all the hard work of Catherine Bell over the past 30 years on William Bell. So, in the final analysis, Robert Hawks still wants his daughter to be happy.

"We only met once, but it ended in a quarrel, are you happy?" Evan Bell's words were so cruel, he was not comforting Robert Hawks at all, but used a more direct method to make Robert Hawkes Cox recognized the reality. But this is the most useful method for Robert Hawks. This stubborn old man is always in trouble in front of Evan Bell, which is why Catherine Bell wants him to come forward.

After saying what he wanted to say, Guwen-Bell stood up directly, turned to leave, and when he walked to the door, Robert Hawks' voice came from behind, "You are a very good child. ." Although his voice was still exhausted, at least he was no longer as gray as the pale complexion, and it could be heard that his condition was a little better.

Evan Bell didn't look back, just hooked the corner of his mouth and said, "I know." Then he opened the study door and went out.

Robert Hawks, who was sitting in the same place, watched Exobel leave, the study door was closed again, and a gratified smile appeared on his pale cheeks.
