My Last Wish Was to Marry You Chapter 40
Rowan dreamed that her brakes failed.She spun the steering wheel to avoid the other cars and pressed the brake pedal so hard it broke.The car still wouldn’t stop.Then, for a moment, it seemed to stop on its own.Rowan climbed out, shaken, and saw Ian lying in front of her, covered in blood!She woke with a start.The injuries on her body told her it hadn’t been a dream. But how was she still alive?A terrible feeling came over her.Her heart ached as the image of Ian driving his car in front of hers returned again and again.It couldn’t be true!She followed her instincts to the operating room.The people waiting outside confirmed what she feared: Ian was the one inside.“Doctor, how is he?”Rowan forgot about her own injuries. Whatever happened to her, she knew Ian was hurt far worse.The doctor shook their head. “Mr. Ford has severe bleeding in his brain and several broken bones. We can treat the other injuries, but the injury to his head is serious.”“Will he recover?”The docto

For the past year, Ian had rarely felt so uncertain.Since he frightened Rowan a few days ago, he stayed out of sight. He watched her rush from place to place, apparently trying to raise money.From the moment he bought the ring, his feelings were a tangle.He felt nervous and hopeful, and he couldn’t help imagining a future with her.He imagined Rowan accepting his proposal and a life they could share.The ring box weighed almost nothing in his hand, but Ian’s heart felt heavy.He tried to keep himself calm. He wanted to surprise Rowan.He left the jewelry store and headed toward her flower shop across the street, intending to propose there.But Rowan drove away before he reached it.Ian quietly followed her.Rowan had only been driving a short while when her phone rang.“Hello?”The voice was both strange and familiar.Tina?“Is this Rowan Shaw?”Tina sounded as affected as ever.Rowan wanted to hang up.But Tina seemed to know what she was about to do. “Don’t hang up. This may be t

Rowan was still shaken after she got home and took a shower.The memory of Ian’s face frightened her. Why did he suddenly act that way?Was it because she said she was marrying Chase?Her mother noticed something was wrong when Rowan came home. She entered Rowan’s room and saw the cut on her lip. “Who hurt you, Rowan?”At her mother’s gentle question, Rowan could no longer hold back her tears. She didn’t say who it was. She only wanted to cry out all the hurt and resentment she carried for years.Her mother held her close and gently patted her back.She stayed until Rowan fell asleep.When Rowan returned to her flower shop and began tidying up, she found a note Ian left behind.It was full of apologies. He wrote that he couldn’t accept the news of her marriage and acted on impulse. At the end, he added: [I won’t give up, Rowan.]Rowan threw the note in the trash. She was ready to leave the day before behind her.After a morning of business, Rowan was pleased with her sales. Every

Ian held back his anger and forced out the name he had come to hate. “Chase?”Chase was the only person he could imagine. For years, Chase was the one who stayed by Rowan’s side.If she was telling the truth…Ian didn’t know what he might do.Would he take Rowan away from Chase in front of everyone at their wedding?Or take her now and hide her where no one could find her?He was capable of either.All Rowan had to do was admit it.She tried to sound confident, though she was terrified he would discover the lie. “Yes.”Ian seized her wrist. Years of jealousy and desire erupted at once.Pain shot through Rowan’s wrist, and she tried to pull away. Ian sensed it but gave no thought to how she felt.He dragged her into his arms and kissed her against her will, holding her so tightly it seemed he wanted to crush her against him.He wanted to reclaim the love he lost and carve it into his bones.Rowan struggled desperately, but she couldn’t break free of his grip.Ian bit her lip hard enou

Rowan didn’t know what to do. She quickly refused. “I can’t accept them, Mr. Ford. You could give them to family, a friend, or someone you love. Giving them to me wouldn’t be appropriate.”Ian kept holding out the roses no matter how she tried to refuse. “You looked beautiful last night. Flowers suit you.”So, he did see her at the reception.Then Rowan remembered what he said there, and anger rose in her. “Mr. Ford, if you already have someone you love, you shouldn’t flirt with other women.”Ian looked puzzled. “You mean Tina? We aren’t together. I told you that.”Rowan meant someone else. Yet now that Ian brought up Tina, her anger eased a little. “I don’t mean Tina… I mean what you said last night.”She realized too late that explaining herself only made it sound stranger.Ian smiled gently. “I said my future wife was at the reception. Do you want to know who I meant?”Rowan loved him for so long that even after all these years, a simple smile could still stir her heart.But she c

Charlie answered at once. “Of course I know him. Shane’s in my class.”Rowan stopped pushing the swing and sat on the one beside him. “Do you ever ask him to play with you?”Charlie hesitated. “Sometimes I borrow things from him, like an eraser or a pencil sharpener. But we hardly talk. Shane doesn’t want to play with us.”Children loved to play. Rowan found it hard to imagine one who didn’t want friends. “What makes you think he doesn’t want to?”Charlie thought for a moment. “He hardly talks or smiles. Sometimes we call him, and he acts like he can’t hear us. But I heard the teacher say Shane might be sick. She said it’s serious and can’t be cured.”“I see. Keep that to yourself, all right? Don’t tell the other children.”“Okay. You’re the only one I’ve told.”Rowan also got a call while they waited. The flowers she ordered had arrived. She couldn’t leave, so she asked the delivery workers to put them inside her shop.About an hour passed with no news of Shane. Charlie grew tired o
