Autor: Where is Spring
The moment she thought about that possibility, Maria felt her chest tighten until it hurt.

She then asked Richard, "Only this one condition? If I refuse, there's nothing else to discuss?"

Her voice trembled with disbelief.

Richard looked at her, his gaze deep and unreadable, the corners of his lips slowly lifting into a smile.

"Yes."

Just one word, and Maria could hear the finality in his voice.

There was no room for negotiation.

Maria clenched her jaw, rage and despair boiled inside o

  • A Regret too Late   Chapter 562

    Willow personally pushed open the door of the ward, carrying a thermos with warm oatmeal that he had prepared himself.The room was a mess. Everything Maria had thrown to the floor earlier was still littered around the place. Maria sat on the edge of the bed with her knees drawn up to her chest, eyes unfocused as she stared past the window toward the far horizon. Even the morning light in her eyes failed to stir the faintest reaction."Mari..." Willow's heart clenched. He slowed, set the thermos on the nightstand, and ladled out a bowl of oats before stirring it. He blew the oatmeal, trying to cool them down.Her brother's voice finally pulled her back. Maria turned her head around. Tears welled without warning and rolled down her cheeks. When she tried to speak, her voice came out hoarse, and every word became raw sobs. "Why didn't you stop him?"Willow's hand froze midair. He quietly set the bowl back on the nightstand, his throat dry. He swallowed hard. "The doctor said th

    The moment Richard's deep eyes met Maria's, the haze lifted and panic flashed through her."Mari..." Richard began. "Aaaah!"In that instant, the last thread of Maria's sanity snapped."Why are you here?!" Maria's voice was sharp. She grabbed the pillow and hurled it at Richard's face as hard as she could. "Get out! Get out now!"Richard tumbled off the bed, stunned by the blow. He ignored the arm that had been hit and scrambled to explain, stuttering, "Mari! Listen to me! It's not what you think!""Not what I think?!" Maria trembled in rage. "Then what is it? Did I beg you to come? How shameless can you get?! You took advantage of me while I was unconscious! How are you any different from scum like Melvin?""I didn't!" Richard snatched his shirt up from the floor and yanked it on. He was flustered, not bold enough to look at the marks on her body. "You were in danger last night! Cameron is the one who called me!""Cameron?" Maria froze, staring at him in disbelief. "You're ly

    After Richard stepped into the room, Cameron stood at the door and saw a scene he would never forget.Richard held Maria in his arms. The woman who was always prickly with thorns in front of him was now soft and yielding, reaching up of her own accord to throw her arms around Richard's neck.Richard lowered his head and seemed to whisper something in her ear. Maria didn't resist. Instead, she kissed him, urgently and hungrily.In that moment, Cameron felt as if his heart had been thrown onto a sheet of red-hot iron, burning and hissing until there was nothing left but numb pain.He finally understood.Maria could say she didn't love Richard. She could say she hated him. Yet, her body and her instincts were more honest than any words.Cameron had lost, utterly and completely.He lifted a hand and gently closed the door for them. That door shut out more than what was happening inside. It had also shut out his future with Maria as well.He now understood who Maria truly loved and

    Willow heard Maria's moan from inside and rushed in. He held Maria's hands and pinned them down, his voice choked. "Mari, stop! Don't hurt yourself!"Cameron came in after him, his gaze steady. "Willow, wake up! Right now, no one but Richard can even get close to her. Are you really going to just watch this drug ruin her? Her body can't take that kind of damage."Willow was quiet for a moment, holding his sister as she struggled in pain. For the first time, the man who was always decisive in the world of business felt completely helpless.Cameron looked at him and knew he had to be the one to make the hard choice.He took out his phone, found the number, and drew in a deep breath before dialing. The call was picked up almost at once. Richard's voice came through wary and cold. "Cameron? Why are you calling me?"Cameron closed his eyes for a moment, forced every bit of heartbreak and unwillingness back down, and spoke as evenly as he could. "City Central Hospital, emergency r

  • A Regret too Late   Chapter 558

    Willow's blood ran cold when the doctor revealed the solution to him.His vision darkened, and he could hardly stay on his feet. He grabbed the doctor’s white coat with red eyes and forced the words through clenched teeth. "What did you say? Is there really no other way?"The doctor looked sympathetic but could only shake his head. "No. Mr. Brooks, this drug is extremely aggressive. If it isn't relieved soon, it'll start to eat away at her nervous system. Your sister just had brain surgery, and her body is already quite weak. If this drags on, the consequences will be…unimaginable.""Irreversible damage." The words stressed by the doctor slammed into what was left of Willow’s reasoning ability.Cameron caught Willow as he swayed, his own face pale. He looked at Maria on the bed, already struggling without awareness. He felt like his heart was being cut open."This is my fault..." Cameron’s voice was hoarse but steady. "I'll do it."Willow’s head turned as he stared at Cameron

    Maria thought Melvin was finally scared after she yelled out her threats, but Melvin simply laughed. "Do you really think I'll do anything to you here? Anyone can walk in here at any time. I'm not stupid enough to get into trouble here. I'm just curious about you. Those who take this drug have to sleep with a man. Otherwise, it'll damage their body and nervous system."On top of that, you might never be able to have children again. The toxins in it can cause all kinds of complications. Your brain tumor has already been removed, right? From what I understand, your body can't handle any more stress. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do tonight and how you plan to walk out of this party."Melvin looked at her for a moment before walking away.After he disappeared, Maria pressed her lips together. Shock and despair flickered in her eyes.No! She couldn't let him scare her like this. If there was a drug, then there had to be an antidote. She had to find a solution herself!
