Chapter 9 Too Little, Too Late

작가: Nina Fortune
Tristan stared blankly at the agreement lying on the floor. His gaze shifted to the donation records and medical documents belonging to Sylvia scattered around it, before finally landing on the series of disgraceful photographs of Regina…

"Ugh!"

A rush of metallic sweetness surged up his throat, and he abruptly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Donna didn’t even look at the grandson she had once adored. Without a word, she turned and walked away.

Tristan woke up in the hospital with the sen

  • Too Late to Keep Her   Chapter 10 Watching Her Be Happy

    During a lull in the movie, my boyfriend picked up his phone and casually scrolled through it before letting out a soft scoff. "Some lunatic is livestreaming his search for his missing wife, and apparently it's become a huge sensation. He's looking for someone named Sylvia Jefferson. Funny, her name's the same as yours."I leaned over to take a look at the screen. The man on it looked disheveled and almost frantic, his expression bordering on madness. I frowned, but all I felt was genuine unfamiliarity and confusion. "I don't know him. He looks kind of pitiful, but what does that have to do with me? Turn it off. It's ruining the mood."…Tristan practically turned the entire world upside down before he finally found a trace of me six months later in a small seaside town.He rushed there, exhausted from the journey.He had imagined countless possible scenarios for our reunion. I might hate him. I might curse him out and tell him to get lost. He had even prepared himself to knee

Without a word, she turned and walked away.…Tristan woke up in the hospital with the sensation that someone had torn a gaping hole straight through his heart.The hospital room was empty. The only sound was his assistant's trembling report: Regina had emptied a large amount of cash and jewelry from his safe and fled."Find her. Turn the entire city upside down if you have to. Bring her back to me!"Within 24 hours, Regina was dragged before him by the bodyguards, looking utterly wretched. Her hair was disheveled, her expensive dress stained, all while clutching a backpack stuf

  • Too Late to Keep Her   Chapter 8 Now You're Free

    "Haven't you been demanding a divorce?" Donna's voice was cold. "There, happy? You're a free man now. From now on, I don't care if you want to marry this lying wretch or some random stray off the street! The Chevalier family has no place for a progeny like you, who can't tell right from wrong!"Tristan stood rooted to the spot as though he'd been struck by a spell. His eyes remained fixed on Sylvia's name written on the donation agreement. One overlooked detail after another surged into his mind like a tidal wave.The way Sylvia had repeatedly looked at him as though she wanted to say something but couldn't… The message he had dismissed as a lie… She had gone so far as to shield him from drinking, even when her weakened body—still recovering from the bone marrow donation—eventually made her vomit blood…He remembered how she had nearly fainted after having blood drawn, her body still needing time to recover and replenish the blood cells lost during the transfusion…Her pa

  • Too Late to Keep Her   Chapter 7 The Truth in Black and White

    Donna completely ignored Tristan's attempt to greet her. Her gaze remained fixed on Regina, who was disheveled and shrinking fearfully into Tristan's arms.Bringing her cane down heavily against the floor, she barked an order at the bodyguards. "Drag that lying, conniving wretch over here and teach her a lesson!"Immediately, two bodyguards stepped forward and dragged her out of Tristan's arms without the slightest regard for Regina's protests."What are you doing? Let go of me! Tristan, save me!" Regina screamed, her face drained of colour as tears streamed down her cheeks.A sharp slap landed hard across Regina's face, instantly leaving a vivid imprint on her cheek.Only then did Tristan finally snap out of his daze. He shot to his feet and pulled the staggering Regina behind him, shielding her with his body. "Grandma! What do you mean by this? What did Regina do wrong for you to treat her like this? "Since you're here today, I'll make myself clear once and for all! The on

  • Too Late to Keep Her   Chapter 6 The Truth Comes Knocking

    "Nonsense!" Tristan shot to his feet, the veins at his temples bulging as he roared into the phone. "Did a brick fall on your head, Logan? Can't you tell when she's trying to pull another stunt? She'll say anything just to get my attention! And you actually believed this pathetic act she put on with the hospital?"His chest heaved violently. As though he were trying to convince himself, his voice grew increasingly certain and furious. "She loves me enough to throw her own life away! She would never terminate her pregnancy! "She's trying to force my hand, using this despicable trick to force my hand! She's just jealous because I've been spending these days with Regina and ignoring her!"He shouted at his assistant, who was practically frozen with fear on the other end of the line. "If she won't appreciate kindness, then we'll do this the hard way! Go find Nicholson immediately and have him draft the divorce papers! I'll show her exactly what happens when she plays with fire! I

  • Too Late to Keep Her   Chapter 5 When He Finally Cared

    "I can't believe you're capable of making such lies just to get attention!""I'm not lying! She really…" I practically crawled toward him, trying to grab the hem of his trousers. "Tristan, please. Take me to the hospital…""Enough!" he snapped. "I don't have time to indulge you or your melodramatic performance!"With that, he turned around without hesitation and got back into the car. The door slammed shut, and the black Rolls-Royce sped away before my tear-blurred eyes.…I had no idea how I managed to get to the hospital, but in the morgue, I clung to my grandmother's body and cried until my entire body convulsed. No matter how hard I cried, I would never hear her gentle voice calling me Sylvia again.During the days I endured my grief and arranged my grandmother's modest funeral alone, Tristan was busy keeping Regina company.As I crouched in the funeral hall keeping vigil, a news alert appeared on my phone. Tristan had made a high-profile appearance at a charity gala w
