HE LEFT ME FOR MY STEPSISTER, I MOVED ON TO THE NEXT Chapter 237
Chapter 237 "For months, I lived in a house that felt like a prison, looking at a woman who made my skin crawl every time she touched me." Frank’s posture shifted. The coldness in his eyes was being replaced by a mounting, heavy sorrow. He watched Nathan’s face—the raw, unadulterated agony of a man who had been gaslighted by his own existence. "I felt it," Nathan said, a tear finally escaping and rolling down his cheek. "In my chest. Every morning I woke up, I felt like I had missed something vital. Like I was breathing but my lungs were empty. I couldn't place it. I couldn't see her face, but I could feel the shape of her soul missing from mine." Nathan looked up at Frank, his eyes pleading. "Tonight, when I saw her on that dock… when the reporter said her name… the name didn't just ring a bell. It shattered the world. And then I saw her fall. I saw the baby fly into the air. My body moved before I could think. I didn't save that child because I’m a hero. I saved that child be

Chapter 236 Nathan looked at Frank. He saw the protective rage, the genuine love for Elena, and the suspicion. He wasn't afraid of the police. He wasn't afraid of a jail cell. He was only afraid of the void—the idea of being dragged away from her again before he could tell her he remembered. "My name is Nathan," he said, his voice gaining strength. "And I don't care if you arrest me. You can bury me in a hole for the rest of my life, but I won't let her go through this alone again. Not after what they did, and how they hurt us ." Nathan closed his eyes for a moment, letting the memories settle into a coherent narrative. When he opened them, they were swimming with unshed tears. "We met in a restroom," Nathan began, a ghost of a smile touching his lips. "In a dive bar. It was the most unromantic place on earth. She was a doctor with too much heart, and I was… I was a man looking for an escape. We allied—a cold, calculated deal for personal benefits. We were supposed to use

Chapter 235 The first thing Nathan felt was the smell. It wasn’t the scent of jasmine and sterile soap that usually lingered around Elena, nor was it the sharp, clinical sting of Carmen’s perfume. It was the smell of old, burnt iron and ozone—the smell of a mind that had been forcibly restarted. Nathan’s eyelids fluttered, feeling as heavy as lead plates. Every heartbeat sent a rhythmic thud against the inside of his skull, a dull ache that resonated behind his eyes. But as the darkness receded, it wasn’t static that greeted him. It was light. It was clarity. The dam had broken. The memories didn't just return; they assaulted him. He saw the way Elena’s hair fell across her face when she was tired. He felt the cold terror of Jasper’s basement. He remembered the specific, heartbreaking way she had looked at him the night he was taken—the last time he had been Nathan. With a ragged gasp, Nathan bolted upright, his hands clutching the thin hospital sheets. "Elena!" The sud

Chapter 234 The nurses tried to block him, but he moved through them like a ghost, his focus entirely on the pale woman on the gurney. He managed to grab the side of the stretcher as they sprinted toward the trauma bay. Frank watched from the sidelines, his brow furrowed in deep, calculating thought. Who is this man? Why does he look like he’s lived a thousand lives in the last hour? Frank pulled out his phone, his voice cold. “I need a facial recognition scan on the man following the Rivers stretcher. Now.” The double doors of the surgical wing loomed ahead. “Sir, you cannot go past this point!” a burly security guard shouted, grabbing Nathan’s shoulder. “I have to see her!” Nathan fought, his voice cracking with a desperation that silenced the hallway. “She’s the only thing I remember! Please!” They shoved him back, and the doors swung shut, the red 'OPERATING' light flickering to life. LIVE NEWS……………. OLIVIA VANCE (Studio): “We are now at the two-hour mark since Dr

Chapter 233 “You’re a civilian and a stranger,” Frank said, shoving Nathan back firmly. “You aren't going anywhere near this ambulance. Stay back, or the police will detain you.” “You don’t understand!” Nathan screamed, but the doors slammed shut. The ambulance took off, its sirens wailing a mournful cry into the night. LIVE NEWS……….. MARK DAVIS (Live Reporter): “The ambulance is departing for St. Jude’s Trauma Center! The hero of the hour—the man who caught the baby—is being held back by Frank Dalton! There’s an altercation! Wait—he’s heading for a car!” The camera panned to show Nathan sprinting toward a black sedan parked near the perimeter. OLIVIA VANCE (Studio): “Mark, do we have any identification on this man? The way he reacted to Dr. Rivers… it didn't look like a stranger’s concern. It looked like a man losing his entire world.” “Nathan! Nathan, stop!” Carmen Rhodes was screaming, her voice shrill and panicked as she chased him toward the car. “You don’t kn

Chapter 232 The screen displayed a grainy, zoomed-in shot of the loading dock. MARK DAVIS (Live Reporter, voice trembling): “Olivia, the shooter has been neutralized by SWAT, but the scene here is… it’s a bloodbath of emotion. A man—we don’t know who he is, he doesn't appear to be law enforcement—just performed a miraculous catch. He saved that baby’s life at the very moment the Doctor fell. Paramedics are swarming the dock. Frank Dalton is personally shielding the Doctor’s body as they move her onto a stretcher!” OLIVIA VANCE: “Who is the man with the baby, Mark? Is he a relative?” MARK DAVIS: “We don’t know! He’s just standing there, clutching the child. He looks… he looks like he’s seen a ghost.” Nathan stood frozen on the asphalt, the whimpering baby pressed against his chest. He could feel the tiny heartbeat through his coat, a frantic rhythm that matched his own. His head was a storm of static. Elena. The name was a siren in his brain, screaming at him from a place
