The Debt of a Borrowed Heart Chapter 9
If Rachel had not knocked on the door of the Sage family home, Winnie might truly have withered away in silence.She was a doctor who saved countless lives, yet failed to save a single friend.She pulled Winnie up and scolded her sharply, "How can you be this broken? Don't forget, your life belongs to Andy!"A faint spark finally returned to Winnie's lifeless eyes.She pressed her hand to her chest.There, my heart was still beating strongly inside her.Winnie murmured to herself, "Yes… My life is his…"Perhaps Rachel's words truly reached her. Gradually, she loosened the grip of her inner demons and tried to live again.Properly, seriously.Rachel never quite trusted Winnie at first.She came to the Sage family home every day, then every few days, and finally only called from time to time, reminding her gently that people must move forward.Winnie never responded much.She simply went to an orphanage and adopted a six-year-old girl.Holding the child's hand, she spoke slo
The Debt of a Borrowed Heart Chapter 8
The day Desmond was caught secretly siphoning off the Sage family's assets, the sky was an almost mocking shade of blue.The decisive, no-nonsense CEO of Sage Corporation arrived with the police and personally had him arrested.Her voice was calm when she asked him, "Why is it that even you chose to leave me?"Desmond looked utterly defeated.He knew the game was over. With nothing left to lose, he sneered instead."What did you think? Did you really believe I was Andy Warren? That I'd love you unconditionally?"Without the Sage family's wealth, I wouldn't even spare you a second glance."Look at that.All the years Winnie had poured herself into love was reduced to a joke built entirely on money.Even Desmond knew that I had once offered Winnie a heart that asked for nothing in return.No one in the world would ever love Winnie like that again, without conditions, without calculation.Winnie was silent for a long time.Then, she asked, slowly and clearly, "So… You really d

My father's gaze turned icy as it landed on Desmond."Winnie… Isn't this the boyfriend of yours who locked Winfrey in the basement all because of a dog?"Winfrey's death… He bears responsibility too."You say you're consumed by guilt, so why are you still flirting with him?"Winnie's mind reeled. Drowned in grief, she still instinctively defended Desmond."This has nothing to do with him. He didn't mean it…"My father roared, his voice shaking with fury, "How could it not be intentional?! Winfrey is dead! There are no other heirs now. That means he gets your inheritance without lifting a finger!"Winnie froze, stunned by the accusation."No… That's not true. He loves me sincerely…"She murmured to herself, clutching Desmond's hand as if it were a lifeline."Dad, I'll leave for now. I'll come see you again in a few days."Only days later, the hospital issued a critical condition notice for my father.Rachel called Winnie personally, grief thick in her voice."There may not

Winnie arrived at the hospital with Desmond by her side.Her hands trembled as she pushed open the door to the ward. She walked up to the bed, her voice catching in her throat."Dad…"My father opened his eyes and looked at her coldly."Shut up. Don't you dare call me that."Winnie had always been proud. Arrogant, even.However, standing before him, she found herself unable to say a single word.Clenching her teeth, she suddenly dropped to her knees."Dad… What happened before was my fault. Please let me make it right. I'll do anything. I'll make sure you get better."He let out a mocking laugh."What good is an apology that comes too late?"I'll never stand again. Yvonne will never come back, and Winfrey… She was only six years old."His voice cracked."We don't even have her body to bury. She was eaten by wild dogs. Nothing left. Not even ashes."As he spoke, his emotions spiraled out of control. A violent coughing fit seized him.The pain of it nearly crushed Winnie w
The Debt of a Borrowed Heart Chapter 5
Rachel was more than just an old friend to Winnie.She was her savior.Back then, when the Sage family went bankrupt, everyone avoided the once-proud Ms. Sage as if she were cursed.Even I had 'betrayed' her.Only Rachel had not cared about any of that.She personally performed the heart transplant that saved Winnie's life.Later, when Winnie was at her lowest, broken and hopeless, it was Rachel who lent her every cent of her savings, helping her rise from the ashes.That was why even Winnie, a woman capable of killing her own biological daughter, had never turned her anger on Rachel. She had always treated her as a true friend.Winnie had never doubted a single word the director said.But now she suddenly roared, "You're lying to me! Why would you lie to me too?!"It was Andy who came to you, wasn't it? Why are you standing on his side?!"Rachel's voice trembled, choking with emotion."Winnie, you know I would never lie to you. If you don't believe me, come here and look a
The Debt of a Borrowed Heart Chapter 4
Winnie deliberately brought my father out into the fields.Right in front of him, she threw the body of his granddaughter into a pack of wild dogs and stood by as they tore into it.My father screamed in agony, his heart breaking apart, but his crippled body left him powerless to resist.Rage consumed him, then despair, until at last his gaze fixed on the ring in Winnie's hand.His voice trembled with grief."Winnie… You're still wearing that ring. That means you haven't forgotten how good Andy was to you, so why… Why would you do something like this?"Winnie lowered her eyes to the ring on her finger and froze for a moment.That ring was a gift from me.I had made it myself. Me, a pampered young heir who had never lifted a finger in his life.My hands were so clumsy it was almost laughable, yet I stayed up night after night, painstakingly crafting that ring bit by bit.When I finally gave it to her, she cried so hard she could barely speak.As she rubbed the ring between he
