The Bodyguard and the Nanny Chapter 10
After that day, the two of them finally seemed to calm down. They stopped fighting.I could no longer walk and spent my days in bed, watching the sun rise and set. Even the simple act of breathing was painful.Andrew would sneak in to kiss me, pressing his lips against my old scar.Robert dug out our marriage certificate from years ago and wrote down the entire story of what had happened between us in his own words.He laid everything bare, from beginning to end, and admitted to every wrong he had committed.He dealt with Amelia once and for all. I did not know whether she was still alive, but I no longer had the strength to care.He sold the company and gave me every cent. I donated it all to an orphanage.After that, the days passed in silence.In a moment of hazy consciousness, I thought I saw my mother. She had come to take me home."Mom..."Robert gripped my hand. "Jessie. Miss Beaumont. Don't fall asleep. Wake up..."He seemed to have aged so much all at once.I blink

When I woke again, the sun was already sinking low, and everything outside the window had turned a deep orange.Online, talk of Robert and Amelia was circulating again, along with even more explicit photos. Someone had sent them directly to me, anonymously.[They look so happy together. They're the ones who actually look like a real couple. A hundred times more relaxed than when he's with you in bed.]There was a video attached as well. I opened it without the slightest reaction. In truth, it was no different from what I had already seen.Robert burst into the room while the audio from the video still played. "Jessie! Don't look at that!"He snatched the phone from my hand and tried to shut it off, but he couldn't. In the end, he hurled it out the window."Don't look. I'll take care of this. Please..." His voice was full of desperation.I gave a faint sound of acknowledgment, hardly caring one way or the other.He climbed onto the bed and wrapped his arms around me, repeating t

Robert stumbled backward and gripped the wall tightly, as if his legs could no longer support him. "Back then, it was already... It could have been treated, right? There was still a chance to treat it back then. Why didn't you tell me?"Yes. It could have been treated. But I hadn't wanted treatment. I hadn't wanted to hear him spit venom at me anymore. I hadn't wanted to hear my own child urge me to die. Also, I had missed my mother.He lunged forward and wrapped his arms around me. "It's all right. It's all right. You'll get better."…My mind slowly began to unravel. My condition deteriorated rapidly.Nearly out of his mind, Robert flew me from one hospital to another, both across the country and abroad. He sought out the best hospitals and the finest doctors.Unfortunately, the results were nearly identical every time.He broke down in tears in the hospital hallways. Every doctor and nurse praised him as a devoted husband.I could only find it bitterly ironic. How wonderful
The Bodyguard and the Nanny Chapter 7
Over the past few years, I had wondered again and again whether I had committed some unforgivable sin to deserve such a fate. But I had done nothing wrong. Everyone had always praised me as a good child.I did not dare close my eyes. I was afraid they would still be trying to kill me in my dreams.The next morning, I went to the cemetery and bought the plot beside my mother's grave. I bent down and wiped her headstone clean.But the more I wiped, the blurrier it became.My voice trembled as I choked out, "Mom, I miss you so much. Wait for me. It won't be long now."Was she crying somewhere up in heaven, too? Did she regret entrusting me to him?My mother had been sharp and decisive at the company, but she reserved her gentlest side for me alone. She always held me close."Be good, sweetheart. Nothing but good days lie ahead for my little girl. Stay with Mom, and you'll live happily for the rest of your life."Unfortunately, those good days never came, and she had left me far to
The Bodyguard and the Nanny Chapter 6
I could not help but feel a little dazed.I could not remember the last time Robert had called me that. I did not even know when it had started, but the way he addressed me had gradually changed into something else entirely: madwoman, jealous shrew, and lunatic.He took off his jacket and draped it over my shoulders. Then he ushered me into the car and insisted on driving me home.Once inside, he looked around the room, his hand still firmly clasped around my wrist. "You live here? Why won't you come find me? Would you really rather stay here and live like this? Or are you just trying to spite me?"You know perfectly well I could never bear to..."I took a careful step back, subtle enough that he would not notice, and met his eyes without flinching. "No. I'm doing fine."He pressed his lips together and backed me into a corner. "Fine? What about any of this is fine? Your deformed fingers? Or this miserable little life?"Jessie, we both know you're not fine at all. Do you really
The Bodyguard and the Nanny Chapter 5
Robert gave me no money, so I could not even afford to go to the hospital.I had no idea how many days I lay there at home.Then the child came. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.He stood before me with a glass of water in his hand. His eyes remained lowered. "Mom... Mom."I thought I had imagined it.He held out the glass. "Drink this."I trusted him without a moment's hesitation. I drank it eagerly, down to the very last drop.I pulled him into my arms."Andy..." My voice trembled and caught in my throat. "Say it again..."His entire body went rigid.Then something began to feel terribly wrong with my body. Only then did I realize the water had been poisoned.Just as I lost the ability to breathe, he shoved me away with all his strength and ran. "Hmph! You're so easy to fool. If Mommy hadn't promised me candy when I got home, I never would've called you that! So disgusting!"He never looked back.I watched him leave, without even enough strength left to breath
