Nothing Left of Ten Years Chapter 10
Caitlyn's voice was hoarse, her face twisted in anguish. "Charles, the person I am today is someone you shaped, bit by bit, over these ten years. Can you really bring yourself to destroy me like this?"I know I was wrong. I can give up being a doctor, but I want to be with you. Without you, I can't do anything..."I scoffed.People always realized things too late.Back then, she wouldn't have even needed to kneel and beg. If she'd so much as glanced at me, I would have agreed to anything she asked.But now, all I felt was weary.I didn't answer her question. I just raised my voice into the intercom. "Someone, please show Ms. Harp out. From now on, the McWherther family's doors are closed to her!"Before I'd even finished, a group of people hauled Caitlyn out. She struggled and shouted the whole way, "Charles, listen to me, I..."I waved it off and called for the butler. "Replace all the floors in the house, the garden included."…On the day I started at the Harp Group, I h

Caitlyn finally couldn't sit still any longer.The day after she was kicked out of Baird General Hospital, she knocked on my front door. "Charles, is what they're saying online true?"Did you really become my grandmother's honorary grandson? How could you be so foolish? What's going to happen to us?"Do you really not want me anymore?"Even now, she still looked at me with those clear eyes, just like she had during all the countless fights we'd had before. Waiting for me to cave. Waiting for me to apologize first.But this time, I ignored her.Caitlyn panicked. She grabbed me and looked at me with apologetic eyes, softening her voice to coax me. "Charles, say something. I wanted to apologize a while ago, but I couldn't find you."I took down all those posts. No one will dare bully you from now on. That whole thing with Scott was my fault. I shouldn't have fallen for his sweet talk."I just felt like he was the same as me, an orphan with no parents. I felt sorry for him, so.
Nothing Left of Ten Years Chapter 8
Just as I'd predicted, that very night, an unfamiliar young nurse slipped into my father's hospital room under the pretense of changing his IV bag.In her hand was a vial of a drug that could kill instantly, while making it look like the cause had been a sudden heart attack.We caught her, but we didn't make a fuss. We just posted rows and rows of bodyguards outside his room to make sure not even a fly could get in.During that time, Caitlyn tried to reach me as well.She called, but I didn't pick up. She texted, but I didn't reply, and I went ahead and blocked her number.Finally, out of options, she sneaked into the hospital, only to find that I'd taken my father home.Even with all those bodyguards, I never felt truly at ease. Once I was sure my father's condition had stabilized, I brought him back home.That night, a post went viral online.It anonymously laid out everything about Caitlyn and me, from how we met to our ten-year relationship. It didn't name names, but it was

Grandma Agnes sighed heavily, then shook her head. "Just watch. I don't think that Scott is going to let this go."I clenched my fists, my voice full of ice. "If he dares to try anything, this time, I'll make sure he's disgraced for good!"The words had barely left my mouth when the operating room doors swung open.The attending surgeon walked out and wearily pulled off his mask. My mother and I rushed over. "Doctor, how's Keene?"The doctor smiled in relief, "Don't worry. Mrs. Harp brought her team in just in time. They gave Mr. McWherther a dose of special medication, and we were able to save him. Now he just needs proper rest and care. There shouldn't be any major problems going forward."I let out a breath and thanked the doctor.Only then did my mother turn to me, her eyes swirling with complicated emotions. She mumbled an apology under her breath, "Charles, I hurt you when I hit you, didn't I?"I'm sorry. I was just so panicked about your father..."She stroked my head, h

Looking at how self-righteous she was, I couldn't help but sneer. I really had been blind.The first time she picked up a scalpel, her hands shook so badly she couldn't hold it steady. I was the one who opened my shirt and lay down on the bed so she could practice on me.I'd originally studied fine art painting, but for her sake, I gave up the dream I'd had since I was a kid. I applied to study psychology while majoring in nursing at the same time.Plenty of people couldn't understand why I, the heir of the McWherther family, would study something as menial as caregiving. To protect her reputation, I never said a word to anyone about why.I thought we understood each other without needing words. I thought she would treasure me and stand up for me the same way.I saw how it all began, but I never saw this ending coming.I never imagined she'd so easily tell Scott about the scars that had hurt me most. She'd even put those photos up on the giant screen herself.She'd rather stand

My head snapped up. It was Grandma Agnes, whom I hadn't seen in years.A few years back, overjoyed that Caitlyn's autism was improving, she'd entrusted her granddaughter to me and gone abroad with her people. She'd been expanding the business overseas while taking the chance to relax.I never expected her to show up at a time like this."Grandma Agnes, please, check on my dad..." The moment I opened my mouth, my voice came out hoarse and choked with sobs.Seeing my face red and swollen and how wrecked I looked, Grandma Agnes didn't waste words. She ordered the doctors traveling with her to carry my father into the operating room, while holding up my trembling body herself.Without looking back, she instructed, "Don't worry! My medical team is made up of top specialists from abroad. Keene will be fine. Just sit tight and wait for good news."Seeing her, my mother seemed to have found her rock again. She wiped her tears, nodding, and hurried after them.One reporter still refuse
