The Day I Walked Away Chapter 11 A Goodbye Never Spoken
Sylvia never stopped looking for Julian. But after he left, afraid she would find him, he moved somewhere else.Even Claire could not track him down.Sylvia believed she would never see Julian again for the rest of her life.Until one day, during a business trip to a quiet town overseas, she stopped at the end of a cobblestone street. Through the bright cafe window, her eyes locked onto a man wearing a beige apron.Behind the counter, Julian was quietly polishing a coffee mug.The sunlight outlined his gentle profile, as though the years had smoothed away every sharp edge and every trace of the pain he once carried.Sylvia's eyes instantly filled with tears. Years of longing and guilt surged into overwhelming joy.She could not wait to push open the door and walk up to him, even if it was only to say that she was sorry.Before she could take a single step, though, a woman in a floral dress walked into the cafe, holding the hand of a little boy about four or five years old.Jul
The Day I Walked Away Chapter 10 The Diary He Left Behind
Gideon's face instantly turned deathly pale. His legs gave out, and he collapsed to the floor.Only then did Sylvia learn the truth. Julian had attacked Gideon because Gideon had caused his mother's death.Julian had tried to explain, but she had not believed him. Instead, she had punished him with merciless cruelty.Sylvia felt as if a giant hand had clamped around her heart, squeezing so tightly she could barely breathe."Gideon, you monster! I'm going to kill you! For everything Julian suffered, I'll make you pay a hundredfold!"She grabbed a wooden stool, her heart overflowing with hatred and regret, and brought it crashing down onto Gideon's legs.The sound of bones cracking echoed through the room. It was followed by Gideon's bloodcurdling scream.Sylvia was not finished with him. She shut the door, and Gideon's scream echoed through the private room.After that, every time Gideon came looking for Sylvia, she had people beat him within an inch of his life.Eventually, Gi
The Day I Walked Away Chapter 9 Too Late
"What? You didn't know any of this?"Sylvia trembled from head to toe.She had thought Julian was lying. That was why she had never taken him seriously. She had even transferred the money to him afterward.But she never imagined everything Julian had said was true. Even worse, in those short ten hours, his mother had died.No wonder he had looked like a man whose soul had been ripped away that day, his face as pale as a ghost.At the time, she had thought he was just putting on an act to make her feel sorry for him.She had forced him to cook for Gideon despite his high fever.Then, because the soup had been too salty, she had made him kneel outside in the pouring rain until he passed out.Later, she had not even known his mother was already gone. Yet she had still stood there, full of self-righteousness, asking his mother to donate a kidney to Gideon's mother.With tears burning in her eyes, Sylvia slapped herself across the face with all her strength.The blow was so hard t
The Day I Walked Away Chapter 8 No Escape
Sylvia rushed to Julian's office as if she had gone mad. But when she arrived, she learned that he had resigned three days earlier.He had not even taken his personal belongings with him. It was obvious that he had left in a hurry.Refusing to give up, Sylvia wiped her tear-filled eyes and called a few of her closest friends, asking them to meet in person so they could figure out how to find Julian."Sylvia, what did you want to see us about?"The women gathered around her. Seeing her swollen eyes, they assumed she had come to vent.They covered their mouths with amused smiles, their eyes gleaming with satisfaction."So, Sylvia, are you planning to teach that freeloader another lesson? Just say the word. We'll make sure he gets the punishment he deserves."Another friend giggled."Speaking of that, remember three years ago? We hit him with a car and left him limping for three whole years. Thinking about it now still feels satisfying."The blood drained from Sylvia's face."Wh
The Day I Walked Away Chapter 7 A Debt of Guilt
Sylvia whipped around to face her mother. For a moment, her mind went completely blank. "Mom… what did you just say?"Claire lowered her eyes and slowly uncovered the truth that had been buried for years."Back then, Julian's mother hit your uncle with her car. She was so terrified that she fled the scene, and your uncle bled to death before he could even make it to the hospital."There weren't many surveillance cameras back then, so proving what happened was incredibly difficult. I searched for twenty years before I finally found solid evidence. But just as I was about to go to the police… something happened to you."As she spoke, Claire looked up at Sylvia, her eyes rimmed with red."Gideon hurt you so badly that you locked yourself in your room every day. You wouldn't even eat. It broke my heart. To pull you out of that despair, I took the evidence that could have sent his mother to prison and went to see Julian."I told him that if he agreed to help me stage the whole 'marryi
The Day I Walked Away Chapter 6 The Truth Comes Out
Claire flew into a rage."How shameless can you be? You ran off with someone else for money back then. You drove my daughter to attempt suicide more than once, and then you lied to drive a wedge between her and her husband."And now you actually have the nerve to stand here and spout this nonsense in front of me? Listen carefully. As long as I'm alive, I will never let you set foot in the Rivers family!"Gideon burst into smug laughter."Sylvia is deeply in love with me. I told her to humiliate Julian, and she did. I even made up some random excuse, and she beat Julian half to death for me. She loves me too much. There's no way she'll ever leave me."He was still speaking when Sylvia could no longer bear to listen.Staggering, she rushed inside. "So, Gideon… It wasn't Julian who tore us apart back then. You were the one who abandoned me, weren't you?"Sylvia stared at Gideon, her heart feeling as if it were being sliced apart.His face instantly drained of color, and panic flas
