Chapter 9

Author: Meow Oh Meow
An explosion went off in Stephanie's mind, and something deep within her heart seemed to be breaking down bit by bit.

Her pride bruised, Stephanie slapped Jacob hard across the face and shoved him away. "Jacob, look clearly and see who I am!"

Jacob snapped out of his daze. The moment he saw the woman standing in front of him, he felt a strange sense of disappointment.

Stephanie pounded furiously on his chest. "Jacob! If you've fallen in love with Lindsey, then go find her! Why are you marrying me?"

Jacob panicked immediately at the words. He grabbed her hands tightly and said, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Stephie. The one I love is you, and it's always been you. Please don't cry, okay? It breaks my heart when I see you cry."

His words seemed to flip a switch in her. Stephanie burst into tears and threw her arms around his waist. "Is that true?"

"Yes, I swear." Jacob looked at her tear-streaked face and felt a tightness in his chest. He pulled her into his arms. "I, Jacob Whitaker,

    Lindsey remembered Edison's kindness to her back then, so she went to the hospital. Jacob was just skin and bones as he lay in the hospital bed. He seemed to have lost his will to live. Lindsey found it hard to associate him with the man she remembered. Edison's eyes were weary and sad. "He's been diagnosed with kidney failure. The doctors say he won't live past this month."She lowered her eyes and said nothing. On the way here, she had already heard his results from Zachary's investigation. Jacob's personality changed drastically after Lindsey left him. Day and night, he deliberately damaged his own health and body. He drank so much that his stomach bled, and the first thing he did after being brought back from the brink of death was to continue drinking. Was it any wonder that his body finally collapsed?Jacob stared blankly out the window, his lips pressed into a firm line. He stayed silent for a long time. The first person he thought of was Lindsey when he was diag

    There was no trace of love left in Lindsey's gaze as she looked into his eyes. She lifted her clasped hand, still entwined with Zachary's, and admitted calmly, "As you can see, he's my fiance."Instinctively, Zachary shielded her behind him and stared at Jacob coldly. Suddenly, Jacob broke down and roared in anger, "This is impossible! The one you love is clearly me! How could you suddenly fall in love with him?"Lindsey couldn't be bothered to argue with him any longer, so she pulled Zachary's hand and headed toward their car parked nearby."Lindy!" Jacob blocked her path. He dropped to his knees with a loud thud and pleaded humbly, "Lindy, I used to think the one I loved was Stephanie, but now I finally realize the person I truly love is you. Can you please give me another chance? I really know that I was wrong. Please forgive me, okay?"As Jacob spoke, he tried to grab Lindsey's wrist. However, Zachary kicked him hard, sending him sprawling on the ground. Zachary still h

    Jacob found himself lying in an unfamiliar room when he woke up again. Stephanie lay on the bed beside him, her bare shoulders exposed. The fury of being set up made him lose his rationality in an instant. He kicked the sleeping Stephanie off the bed. "Ouch!"Jacob clamped his hand tightly around her throat before she could even cry out. Her face turned purple from lack of air.Jacob's voice was cold and sounded as if coming from afar. "Who gave you permission to climb into my bed? Are you seeking death?"A second later, he flung Stephanie into a corner of the room roughly. She hit her abdomen on the floor, the sharp pain leaving her speechless. Jacob took out his phone and made a short call. Soon, a group of bodyguards burst into the room and forced Stephanie to swallow a contraceptive pill. "Take her to the hospital for a check-up. Make her get an abortion if she's pregnant," he ordered.Hearing this, Stephanie's eyes went wide with disbelief. Her whole body trembled viol

    Jacob never expected the next time he saw Lindsey would be in the newspapers. In the photo, Lindsey stood at the podium of a press conference at the National Institute of Research. She looked completely different from her disheveled figure in the past. Instead, she radiated confidence and vitality. The charm she exuded seemed to leap out from the page despite the still image. This was actually the real Lindsey. Jacob clutched the newspaper in excitement. He was about to rush out to find her, but the bodyguards at the door stopped him.He asked in confusion, "Grandpa, please let me out. I need to find Lindy. Didn't you like her the most? I'll go to her right now and apologize, beg for her forgiveness, and ask her to marry me."Edison looked at his grandson's haggard face and bloodshot eyes. He let out a long sigh and said, "You once blamed me for forcing you to break up with Stephanie and marry Lindsey, whom you didn't love. "Now, everything is on track with what you've hope

    Compared to Lindsey's happiness, the Whitaker family had already fallen into complete chaos. After kicking Stephanie out of the villa, Jacob cancelled all her credit cards and announced publicly that he had cut all ties with her. Stephanie was met with rejection wherever she went without the Whitakers' support and protection. She couldn't accept the fact that she was being sent abroad by Jacob, so she lay in wait outside the villa's gates every day for Jacob. The moment he stepped outside, she would cling to him like a venomous snake.Throwing away all her pride, Stephanie kneeled before him and begged him to spare her another glance. "Jacob, please don't treat me like this. I'm aware of my mistakes. Just forgive me one more time, alright? I'm begging you. I know you're angry right now, but I can change. "I can become the gentle and kind Stephanie you remembered. I can change anytime you want. Jake… I can even go to Lindsey and apologize to her if you want me to. I can beg for

    The diary entries came to an abrupt end on the day they parted ways. Lindsey could still see the faint tear stains on the pages. She felt a sharp pang in her heart and murmured, "I'm sorry.""What are you apologizing for?"Zachary entered his room with a smile. He took a hair dryer from the drawer and began drying her hair. The air became thick with tension when his fingertips brushed against her scalp. For once, he spoke in a solemn tone, "I'm sorry, Lindy. I didn't know that your mother fell ill back then. Not only did I fail to share your burden, but I also went abroad out of spite. I'm sorry for making you go through so much on your own."Zachary had fled overseas because he couldn't accept the harsh words Lindsey said to him back then. For a long time, he didn't dare to ask about anything related to her. He even avoided attending class reunions. Year after year, he buried himself with work to numb his yearning, but he still couldn't stop thinking of her. His longing for
