On the 5th of September 2020, Shyla Fisher received a piece of alarming news out of the blue..
"Mrs. Bernard, your gastric cancer has reached the final stage. If you don't treat it on time, you may not live for more than ten months. Please be mentally prepared."
Shyla couldn't believe it. A mere medical examination pushed her to death's doorstep.
There were only ten months left in her life.
Calming her breath, Shyla took out her phone from the pocket and pressed the speed dial. "Nolan, where are you? Will you come back for dinner tonight? If so, I'll buy some groceries now and ask the housekeeper for help to cook your favorite dishes."
There was no answer for a long while.
Shyla bit her dry lips and she couldn't hold back her tears as they rolled down onto her palm.
On the other hand, Nolan Bernard replied nonchalantly, "No, I have a social engagement tonight. Besides, you don't know how to cook."
Then the phone hung up.
After recovering from disappointment, Shyla took a deep breath and walked calmly out of the hospital.
She shouldn't have expected Nolan to give her any reply.
They had been married for five years, and even when she had been faithful to Nolan, he didn't care about her.
She should be content with these five years. Even if Nolan did not love her, she would have no regrets that he would accompany her to the end of her life. As she knew nothing, Nolan had taken care of her for five years.
When she got home, the cold air made her shudder. As usual, she ate alone, watched TV alone and slept alone. This villa was both Nolan's and her house. Yet, she was alone most of the time. Once she had gotten used to it, this kind of loneliness had not been terrible.
However, Shyla was terrified at that moment. She was afraid that no one would take care of Nolan ten months later and that he would marry someone else to replace her position as Mrs. Bernard after her death.
In a daze, she felt the bed dip and a cold body clung to her. Knowing that the body belonged to Nolan, she immediately threw herself into his arms. Nolan held her by the waist without any foreplay.
All of a sudden, Shyla came to her senses. She could not see Nolan's face, but she could feel his presence. This was the moment that they were best with each other.
"Nolan, I want a child."
There was a hint of relief in Shyla's voice. At least, when she was not around, a child could accompany him in her stead.
"Didn't we agree not to have a child? Why do you suddenly change your mind?" Nolan asked coldly.
When Shyla turned her head, what came into sight was a handsome face with sharp features. His dark eyes were peering into her eyes through the dim light.
"I like children. Let's have one."
Nolan lost interest abruptly. Pulling out of her body, he wiped himself with a tissue. He didn't have many feelings for Shyla. "Marrying you was your dad's wish at that time, but I never intended to have children with you. Don't mention this again and be a good Mrs. Bernard. Don't let me lose interest in you."
Shyla lowered her eyes and her heart seemed to have torn apart. She knew very well that Nolan did not love her. However, she had loved Nolan for 13 years, so how would this love end?
"Is it because of her?"
Nolan stopped in his tracks and his eyes were icy-cold.
"Ekta Turner."
When Shyla called out the name, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. This name was a malignant tumor in the heart, but it was the woman of Nolan's heart. At that time, she forced Nolan to marry her by driving Ekta away at all costs. She even forced Ekta's mother to die. Ekta got disheartened and left Nolan. This gave Shyla the opportunity to use her family wealth to force Nolan into marrying her. Nolan hated her for many years, and he especially didn't like her mentioning Ekta. Today, she broke the rule again. Nolan clenched his fists and turned his head to look coldly at Shyla. "What right do you have to mention her? To be an obedient Mrs. Bernard, you must first shut your mouth!" She had never mentioned Ekta in front of Nolan, because she didn't want to destroy their relationship by mentioning her. "Oh, I won't mention it in the fu
Ekta was beautiful and tall. Her appearance was well matched by Nolan. On the other hand, after Shyla became a housewife, she only wore a T-shirt and long pants without makeup, just like a plain old housewife.Shyla couldn't be compared with Ekta because, other than giving Nolan the best image of herself, she didn't care for anyone else. "Nolan, this tie is really pretty and it suits you." Ekta held the tie towards Nolan.Nolan wore a doting smile on his face and said, "Whatever you choose is beautiful."Ekta smiled shyly and said, "Put it on quickly."Nolan obediently removed the tie he was wearing and handed it to Ekta. He then put on the new tie around his collar.Ekta pursed her lips. "This tie is too old-fashioned. Throw it away and wear the new one.""Okay."Across from them, Shyla relied only on a few pieces of clothing to hide her
Nolan thought that she was pretending and acted deliberately like that in front of Ekta. He said Twisted Skylars and asset, "What is the meaning of this? Is it so disgusting that you vomit like this? Shyla shook her head. It's good, but I'm not used to the taste. Nolan said sarcastically, "Are you jealous? I've been with Ekta for so long, but I've never seen you acting so weird today. Are you unhappy to have the position? As Mrs. Bernard without us in love with each other?" Shyla and Nolan were childhood sweethearts and they had known each other for more than 20 years. Their parents were best friends and they had been engaged since childhood. Since Shyla was young and understood the love between men and women, she had been in love with Nolan. This love lasted 13 years. Yet Nolan treated her coolly. He had never noticed that she had loved him for such a long time. Her lo
It was Nolan, knowing that he had come back. Shyla's eyes filled with tears.She quickly got up and held Nolan's shoulder. "Nolan, can you stay with me?"Shyla could only beg Nolan to give her some warmth and a hug. Loving Nolan, Shyla was petty as she put down her dignity and ego.She might realize it on the day when she would be heartbroken, but there was not any chance. She had promised to spend the rest of her time with Nolan."Okay".Nolan hadn't had the heart to refuse. He had known Shyla for so long and, even without love, he treated her as his friend and family.No matter how much he hated being bound with Shyla through marriage, he couldn't bear seeing her being frightened and uneasy at home.Nolan carried Shyla into the bedroom to sleep. Then, he went to get some candles to light up every corner of the room.Shyla felt a warmth in her heart. She was very content with him.That night, after making love, Shyla held Nolan's waist while Nolan rubbed
Shyla held on tightly to Nolan's arm and said with difficulty.'Yes'Nolan's eyes turned bloodshot and were filled with hatred as he gazed at Shyla. There was disappointment and disgust in his gaze. "If I went there much later, she'd be dead!"What?Shyla was shocked. How was it possible?Shyla didn't quite understand. Ekta had still been alright last night when she had cried for Nolan to accompany her over the phone. She had merely hung up the phone and that had led to a serious matter?"I don't know.""It was you who left her to die. Ekta asked me for help as she was robbed and had almost been raped. At the last moment, she called me but you answered the call. Not only did you not save her, but you also didn't call the police. If it weren't for her desperately resisting, she would have been raped. She is now in the ICU at the hospital and has just been rescued. When did you become so cruel?"Nolan tightly grabbed Shyla's neck as if he wanted
While holding Ruhi's hand to walk forward, Shyla suddenly looked up to find Nolan in front of her. She was a little taken aback but soon she hid her surprise and continued walking calmly. “What are you doing here?" Nolan asked. Ruhi's face was full of indignation. "Do you know that Shyla……” Shyla pulled at Ruhi's hand to stop her from continuing her sentence. "I'm here to see Miss Turner." Nolan curled his lips and asked sarcastically. "Are you that kind?" "Yes, let's visit her since she has been staying here for half a month." Shyla's words were full of irony. As Shyla followed Nolan into the ward, she quickly noticed that Ekta's face was pale and there was a tetanus injection on her forehead. Ekta lost some weight and did a lot of self-infliction. She had made a great effort to stir up the relationship between Shyla and No
Shyla sometimes felt that she was a little shameless as she had done useless things for Nolan. She tried her best to keep calm and avoid getting discouraged by Nolan's words. She replied, "There will still be a divorce, and the child is yours nevertheless." Nolan sneered, thinking that Shyla was joking. She worked so hard to give birth and planned to give the child to him after that. Did she think that he would believe these words? It was complete nonsense. "Such a great idea. However, you're so calculative, so why should I believe you? You must give up the child!" Nolan said cruelly. Shyla's face was drained of color. She could not believe what she heard. Did he just say he wanted to be rid of the child? Shyla was unwilling to do so. His cruel words broke down her line of defense. "No, I'm going to give birth to the child. It is our child." "Do y
In one of the hospital rooms, sitting across from Nolan was a man in a white gown. He was Ivan Young, Ruhi's husband and also Nolan's best friend."Yes, Shyla came to the hospital. She's pregnant." Nolan's face was gloomy.It seemed a guy like Nolan was having helpless moments like right now. While he was influential and powerful in the business world, he had some difficulties in his relationships.His heart was blooming with happiness when he thought he was going to be a father, but his mind was in turmoil when he thought his child's mother was Shyla. He doesn't know what he wants, he doesn't know what to feel.Ivan Young neglected his friend's gloomy face, as he continued to speak, "I heard Ruhi commenting that you are a jerk."Nolan didn't care, as he was indeed a jerk when he was involved in Shyla's matters."However, Shyla loves you. After so many years,
