HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 DAYS 68. A Reason to Live
"So, ma'am... you have acute leukemia? Oh my God. Why have you been keeping this from Mr. Dylan? Your husband should know!" Brenda exclaimed.I quickly pressed a finger to my lips, urging her to lower her voice.I gave her a bitter smile. "We're getting divorced, Brenda."The color drained from Brenda's face. She covered her mouth. "I'm sorry, ma'am. I was out of line. I promise I won't tell anyone, but... honestly, I hate that you're doing this to yourself," she said, unable to hide her frustration. "You... you deserve support, not the way you were treated this morning.""I'm used to being treated like that.""That doesn't mean you have to stay silent, does it? Ma'am..."I hurriedly cut her off. "Brenda, I'm fine."She shook her head. "No, you're not. I saw what happened earlier... and that wasn't okay."I bit my lip.Brenda gently rested her hand over mine. "Mrs. Anna, you need intensive treatment. It could extend your life, maybe even... maybe you could recover.""If I do that, Dyl
HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 DAYS 67. When My Secret Fell Apart
I wasn't actually asleep last night. I heard everything Dylan did to me. His touch, his breathing, even the quiet moans he tried so hard to suppress, they were all still vividly etched into my memory. If I had let him know I was awake, I was certain he would've been embarrassed. So I stayed perfectly still and pretended to be asleep until he was finished.As I turned on the shower, I tilted my head back, letting the water cascade over my face. My eyes drifted shut.Why did he have to do it by himself?If only he had asked me, I would have gladly fulfilled my duty as his wife. But Dylan's pride was simply too great. He would never admit it.After I finished showering and got dressed, I left the bedroom and headed downstairs. The house was unusually quiet. I glanced around, but there wasn't a single servant in sight. They were usually busy in the kitchen or chatting near the dining table.But this time was different.Did
HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 DAYS 66. Losing Control
After dealing with the servants, I took some time to head to PayandC with Erwin to check on the progress of the application. Looking over the graphs he showed me, I felt satisfied. Market demand continued to climb, and even companies overseas had begun expressing interest in expanding our system.Seeing the opportunities ahead, I couldn't help feeling a sense of accomplishment. My eyes lingered on the screen for a moment. If Anna hadn't pushed me this far back then, I probably never would have reached the position I was in today."As instructed, sir, I've cleared your schedule starting at two tomorrow afternoon. The following day, though, your schedule will be much busier," Erwin said, breaking me out of my thoughts."Hm." I slid the screen aside. I was thinking about granting two of Anna's requests tomorrow. She would surely understand that my workload was only getting heavier."Do we have a lot of meetings with investors and company executives o
HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 DAYS 65. There Was a Reason
I frowned at her question. Just as I was about to answer, she spoke again, her eyes still fixed on the cover of The Little Princess."Dylan, would you give me what I want if I wanted to have a baby?" she asked, her expression unreadable. There was hope in her eyes, but also hesitation."I don't know," I replied casually, taking the shopping basket from her. "Done? I'll pay," I said, quickly changing the subject.For some reason, I didn't want to talk about it right now. After the past few nights we'd spent together, there was a real chance Anna could be pregnant. But that was exactly what frightened me the most.If she was pregnant, I was certain Jessy wouldn't stay quiet. What happened today was enough to make me realize that the longer Anna stayed by my side, the more she would end up getting hurt.After paying for all of her books, we sat side by side in the car. Anna was the first to break the silence. Her voice sounded tired."You didn't answer my question.""If you get pregnant,

DYLAN"Move aside, Mom. If Anna really isn't in there, you shouldn't be acting like this," I said, making Jessy bite her lip. She stepped away from the door with an irritated look on her face.I knocked on the door. The commotion I'd heard moments ago had completely stopped.From behind me, Jessy scoffed. "I already told you. There's nothing in there. It's just a rat.""Where's the key to the storage room?" I asked, ignoring her excuse.She clicked her tongue. "It's missing."Knowing it was nothing but another lie, I stepped back from the door. On the count of three, I slammed my shoulder into it with all my strength. The lock snapped free, and the door crashed against the wall.The stale smell of dust and mildew flooded my senses. I coughed as particles swirled through the air. Boxes were scattered everywhere. Old books lay strewn across the floor alongside piles of broken junk.Jessy hurried over. "The rats must've done that. Let the servants clean it up," she said, grabbing my arm

I slowly opened my eyes. Every inch of my body ached, and my head still throbbed. Through my blurred vision, I saw someone walking into the storage shed."Please... help me," I said as she crouched in front of me. But the moment I saw the sly smile curling across her lips, I knew that was never going to happen. Not a single servant in this house was on my side. Every one of them obeyed Jessy.The young maid reached into her pocket and pulled out a cleaning cloth. My eyes widened as she shoved it into my mouth before tying it tightly behind my head."Mmph! Mmph! Mmmph!"I struggled, trying to get up, but she forced my head back against the floor. Leaning close to my ear, she whispered in a low, cutting voice."Mrs. Jessy said you'll be spending the night here," she said with a satisfied laugh. "How pathetic. Not a single person cares about you. I'm even willing to bet Mr. Dylan won't come looking for you, even if you disappear from this house completely."I bit down hard, fighting back

"I'm fine, Father. I bumped my nose earlier," I lied.Fortunately, my father-in-law believed me without much question.Abraham glanced at the unmade bed behind me. His gaze softened. A faint smile touched his thin lips before he quickly pulled a handkerchief from his suit pocket."Use this to wipe

"Vallen, just pretend you never saw any of this," I said calmly."Damn it, Anna, what do you mean? How am I supposed to stay quiet after seeing something this unfair? You're fighting a disease while Dylan...""Vallen, this is my marriage."The firmness in my voice silenced him on the other end of t

I didn't know how long I had been lying on the floor.When I woke up, my head was throbbing and my entire body ached. Slowly, I pushed myself upright and rubbed my face. When I looked down, I found several dried drops of blood on the floor.Not wanting to dwell on it, I got up and walked into the b
HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 DAYS 4. A Comparison
For nearly half the day, I lay in bed, curled up as I stared blankly through the open window. My body felt hot, and I was utterly exhausted even though I hadn't done anything physically demanding.Fortunately, Jessy wasn't home. She was probably working at her boutique. If she saw me lazing around
