Silent Goodbye on a Summer Night Chapter 16
A luxury car worth well over a million dollars quietly pulled into the slums.The rundown apartment building where Lily and Eddie had lived for the past three years looked different now. Colorful plastic flowers adorned the rusting pipes and crumbling brickwork, cheap fairy lights twinkled along the balcony, and cheerful paper decorations covered the yellowed windowpanes.Eddie had put them all up himself after learning Lily was coming home.His face still bore the injuries Mason had inflicted on him that day, but his smile was gentle, a striking contrast to his dark, empty eye socket and the disfiguring scars across his face.He'd prepared a table full of Lily's favorite dishes and was waiting anxiously for her, rubbing his hands together.The moment she stepped out of the car, he hurried over, his face lighting up with joy. He looked her up and down, checking her for injuries."Lily, did he hurt you?"She smiled and shook her head."I'm hungry. I want some of your roast goose."Her v

Every day, Mason forced Lily to take her medication, undergo injections and chemotherapy, and eat enough to keep her strength up. Whenever she refused to cooperate, he threatened Eddie.He hated how jealous and bitter it made him feel, but the tactic worked every time.Under such meticulous care, Lily's complexion gradually improved. She even began putting on weight, and Mason was delighted to see her looking healthier with each passing day. He truly believed he could cure her.But when he took her for another round of medical examinations, the results shattered all his hopes.Despite her improved appearance, Lily's condition hadn't changed at all.Neither the expensive targeted therapies nor the specialized medication had done anything to stop the cancer from spreading. All that treatment hadn't bought her a single extra day.She had less than a month left to live.Mason stood holding the medical report, surrounded by doctors and nurses who kept their heads lowered. The atmosphere was

At Mason's private residence, Lily sat beneath a patio umbrella in the sunlit garden, dressed in loose, comfortable loungewear.Mason stood watching her, captivated by the delicate silhouette of her thin but beautiful figure. It was a long time before he finally approached with her medication.He gently took the book from her hands."Lily, it's time for your medicine."Annoyed at being interrupted, Lily turned away from him in disgust.It had been a month since Mason knocked her unconscious and brought her here. Every day, doctors and nurses came and went, putting her through chemotherapy, targeted treatments, medication, acupuncture, and countless other procedures.Her hair, already dry and brittle, had fallen out completely. She now had to wear a bucket hat to hide her bald head.Mason remained patient despite her obvious resistance."Lily, take your medicine. Your stomach won't hurt so much afterward.""Don't talk like Eddie. You're not him," she replied coldly.The hand holding her

Lily's words sent every emotion Mason had been struggling to contain crashing over him. He pulled her into a tight embrace."I'm a bastard. I'm a monster! Lily, I've come to take you home. You don't have to suffer with trash like him anymore!"Lily gently pushed him away and went to Eddie's side. She helped him to his feet, her face filled with concern as she quietly asked if he was all right.Then she turned to Mason."There's no need to trouble yourself, Mr. Whitmore. I have no complaints about being married to him. In fact, I'm grateful you abandoned me here. Otherwise, I never would have met someone as good as him. And stop calling my husband trash. He has a name. Eddie Miller."Her words cut Mason to the heart.He couldn't tell whether she genuinely meant what she said or was simply trying to hurt him. His face hardened as he struggled to contain the excitement and anger warring inside him."Lily, are you serious? Do you really care about him that much?"Whatever she said, Mason w

There had been no second chance, no opportunity to make amends.Lawrence had been dead for ten years. Yvonne was dead too, and Lily... Mason didn't even know where she was buried.He hadn't changed a thing.He was nothing more than a pitiful man who'd tried to take his own life and been saved.After his suicide attempt, even Richard no longer dared keep him locked up. Mason immediately returned to the slums and sent his men to search the area around the intersection where he'd abandoned Lily three years earlier.They searched for a long time without finding a trace of her.The neighborhood was still as filthy and rundown as he remembered, but the homeless people and beggars who used to gather there had largely been replaced by others. He couldn't even find the one-eyed beggar he'd handed Lily over to.It was as though she'd vanished off the face of the earth. For all his wealth, power, and connections, Mason couldn't find a single clue about what had happened to her.He was on the verg

He'd been given another chance at life!He was back at the very beginning of his revenge against Lily, when she was still alive. So were Yvonne and Lawrence.There was still time to change everything!Without a moment's hesitation, Mason raced toward the school's equipment storage room.By the time he arrived, several boys were already pelting Lily with volleyballs. They struck her legs and stomach over and over, forcing her to curl up in a corner with her arms over her head.When she spotted an opening, Lily snatched up a volleyball and hurled it at the boy leading the attack. It struck him square in the face."You bitch! You dare hit me?"Furious, he charged toward her and raised his cleated foot, aiming straight for her slender arm.Trapped against the wall with nowhere to escape, Lily could only watch in terror as his foot came down.Before it reached her, someone kicked him aside with tremendous force.The boy whirled around, ready to fight, but the moment he recognized Mason, his
