No Longer Theirs: The One They Can't Replace Chapter 165
Elijah's injuries weren't serious, so he only stayed in the hospital for three days before returning home.With no family left in Jeston, Winter took on the role of his caretaker, delivering his lunches and dinners rain or shine. Each meal was prepared with her own hands.She couldn't shake the guilt she felt. After all, Elijah had been targeted by Joshua because of her.The new suit Elijah had worn was ruined in the scuffle, and Winter worried he might be upset. To make amends, she bought an even finer set and had it couriered to his law firm. As for the black coat she had on hand, she figured she should find a chance to give it to Ezekiel.That evening, Winter was absorbed in her studio, focused on the latest HeartVault data model Louis had sent her. Immersed in her research, she barely noticed the phone ringing until it had gone off several times.It was her son, Terence.Winter hesitated for a moment before answering. "Terry, what—""How could you do that?"Terence's voic

Sasha broke down completely, crying like a child. "If I had known she was in that condition, I would've crawled to her side if I had to. At a moment that important, she had no one she could rely on. How unbearable must that have been for her?"Sean bit the bullet and uttered, "Ms. Sutton, please don't think too badly of Mr. Stroud. He was kept in the dark back then. He didn't know about—""Bullshit!" Sasha yelled. "If it weren't for him, Winz's life would've been bright, full of hope. But Joshua destroyed her!"Her fingers, wet with tears, jabbed into Joshua's heaving chest. "Was Winz's suffering some kind of cruel joke? When she needed you most, you were never there!"And now, just because she's finally found someone to care for her, you come out fuming, looking for trouble? Does it eat you alive to see her happy now?" Joshua curled his numb fingers, feeling every heartbeat pounding through his chest. He hadn't cared for Winter the way he should have. But seeing Elijah treat h

Joshua let out a cold scoff and couldn't even be bothered to look at Sasha.Blake smiled with faint mockery. "Do you really think Josh doesn't know her? Their son is already five. What's left to not know?""Joshua, all you know is that Jessica once saved your life. But even now, you probably still don't know…" Sasha erupted, rage tearing through her voice. Hatred burned in her bloodshot eyes, sharp enough to cut. "Winz almost died giving birth to Terry!"The air froze instantly. It felt as if the pressure had plummeted.Sean stood completely stunned. Even Blake, who was usually flippant, lost his smile."What do you mean? Almost died giving birth to Terry?" Joshua's mind went blank, and he stared at Sasha unblinkingly.Sasha sneered, "You really are a complete idiot.""Explain what you just said!" Joshua's gaze darkened as he grabbed Sasha by the collar of her uniform, veins bulging across the back of his hand. "Talk!"Blake's stomach dropped when he saw Sasha's feet nearly lif

Blake's anger shifted into unease.Sasha hadn't been with Winter all night. Her phone was off, and she didn't answer calls. Even at her most reckless in the past, she had never behaved like this.He recalled his usual dominance, ruling Jeston with Joshua as his ally. If anyone bore a grudge, Sasha might've been kidnapped and shipped off somewhere.Just as he feared the worst, Vance shouted, "Mr. Thorne! Ms. Sutton has returned!"Blake scowled and looked down the hall.Sasha had changed out of the expensive red gown he had bought her. She now wore her usual black work uniform, stepping toward them slowly and deliberately."Where were you last night?" Blake grabbed her wrist, pulling her against his chest.His gaze was dark and intimidating. With Joshua present, he restrained himself from disciplining her outright.Sasha laughed coldly, yanking her wrist free. The force sent Blake staggering.Her eyes blazed with fury, and she struck Joshua across the face.The slap echoed thro

Joshua stiffened, his expression cold and detached. "What's the cause?"At that moment, Blake arrived carrying a gift for Jessica.Sean glanced at Blake, hesitant.Joshua uttered icily, "Blake is not an outsider. Go on.""Okay…" Sean's voice was low and tinged with regret. "The reason Mrs. Stroud miscarried was that she had been the one who rushed into the R&D department during the fire over a month ago. She's the one who saved the chip.""What did you say?" Joshua's eyes widened sharply, his chest tightening.Blake froze, clearly shocked as well. He had heard about the fire but never imagined that the person who saved Stroud Group's property without seeking credit was actually Winter.Sean couldn't hide the gloom on his face. "After saving the chip, Mrs. Stroud was overcome by smoke and fainted. By the time she reached the hospital, her arms were badly burned. That was when she lost the baby."Joshua's tall frame trembled, cold sweat seeping from his palms.He remembered see

The next morning, Joshua attended a meeting at the office, then rushed back to the hospital.He didn't go to see Jessica first. Instead, he went to see his father, Philip, who had been unconscious for six years.Philip lay silently in the hospital bed, his temples streaked with gray, eyes and cheeks sunken. Years of high-cost nutrient infusions kept his vital signs alive, but he hadn't eaten solid food in ages, and his body was skeletal."Dad, I'm here again," Joshua said, taking Philip's hand in his own. With reddened eyes, he added, "You've lost even more weight, but your presence is still imposing. You remain one of the most striking men in Jeston."Joshua had been here last night as well. In fact, every month, he made time to visit Philip, updating him on the company's affairs and sharing how he outsmarted his business rivals."Dad, there's something I need to tell you. Winter wants a divorce." Joshua's gaze darkened, a faint anger flickering. "I was planning to bring her here
