When Love Lets Go Chapter 9 What Has Passed
The day Nolan was buried, my mother came.She was dressed all in black. Her hair had gone completely white, and she had grown so thin that her clothes hung loosely from her frame.She stood in front of the grave and left a bowl of noodles in front of Nolan's headstone.As the steam rose, she said, "Nolan, Chloe loved noodles. Have some together."Sasha stood beside her. During this time, she had been keeping track of Evelyn's case for Nolan.Evelyn did not come. She was still in custody, and the case was moving through the legal process.Later, I heard that her father had asked her lawyer to approach the Drake family and request a letter of forgiveness.Nolan was already gone, and the Drake family had directed all their anger at Evelyn.Five years in prison was something she could not escape.Sasha told me the news at my grave.The wind was strong, scattering the bouquet of white bellflowers in front of my headstone.She picked them up one by one and put them back in place.
When Love Lets Go Chapter 8 The Things He Wrote
Nolan shut himself away at home, refusing to leave our room.He forced Evelyn to divorce him. Then, he handed the company over to a professional manager.Every day, he did only two things.The first was writing. He started from the day I was diagnosed and stopped at the day he discovered the truth.He wrote down what he had done each day, what he had said to me, and what my physical condition had been like at the time.He stopped writing on the third page. Because on the day I was diagnosed, he had been taking Evelyn on vacation to Palm Bay.The flight booking and my biopsy report were dated the same day.He wrote the two lines side by side on the page, drew a line between them, then marked it with a huge X.After that, he closed the notebook. He did not sleep that night.He sat on the couch with the TV on, the volume turned almost all the way down.The news was showing footage of Evelyn being taken away, with reporters gathered outside the police station.She covered her fa
When Love Lets Go Chapter 7 What They Caused
My mother stayed in our hometown after that.She went back to the little bedroom. The same room where I had curled up and coughed up blood in the final days of my life.She spent the entire day cleaning. She threw away the bloodstained tissues. She patched the scratches on the wall with spackle, folded my old clothes, and put them neatly into the closet.When she was done, she sat on the edge of the bed and stared for a long time at the brownish stain beneath my pillow that would not come out.It was from a nosebleed I had had in the middle of the night during chemotherapy. The blood had soaked through, and I had never told anyone.She started going through the things I had left behind.There was a cardboard box under the bed. Inside were copies of my medical records, payment receipts, and handwritten instructions from my doctors.My mother went through them one by one. …By the third page, her hands had started to shake.My medical records noted that I had been suffering fr
When Love Lets Go Chapter 6 No More Excuses
Nolan stood frozen, his palm still resting against Evelyn's barely rounded stomach.Her words seemed to blur into a dull hum. He could not make sense of them.All he could think about was what his assistant had just said.Something involving Evelyn."What is it?" he asked hoarsely.His assistant glanced at Evelyn before lowering his head and handing Nolan a tablet."Someone deleted part of the security footage from the hallway on the day of the wedding. But the camera outside the pharmacy next door caught another angle. Ms. Swift did not push Mrs. Drake. Mrs. Drake grabbed Ms. Swift's hand herself and then fell backward."Nolan took the tablet.On the screen, I was wearing an oversized hospital gown. My face was as pale as a sheet, and I could barely keep myself upright.Evelyn approached with her belly showing. My body instinctively recoiled.The next second, Evelyn reached out, grabbed my wrist, and pressed my hand against her stomach. Then she released her grip and threw h
When Love Lets Go Chapter 5 Too Late
For the past few days, Nolan had been carrying a strange sense of unease. He could not shake the feeling that something important was slipping away from him.When my mother first suggested Evelyn to him, Nolan had wanted nothing to do with it. If anything, he had felt trapped. "Mrs. Swift, why would you do that to your own daughter?"My mother had only sighed. "She is not well. I have no idea when she will get better. Nolan, I have watched you look after our family all these years. I have long thought of you as one of my own. I just want you to have a normal wife."He had fallen silent.For some reason, the memory of all the times I had bitten him until he bled suddenly hurt more than it ever had before.And somehow, he agreed to meet Evelyn.Just as my mother had said, Evelyn was warm and cheerful. Being around her was easy. With her, he never had to worry about getting hurt.Before long, Nolan found himself spending more and more time with her.My best friend, Sasha, noticed
When Love Lets Go Chapter 4 The Last Straw
"Ms. Swift, have I ever told you? If you keep putting your body through this, you might not even make it through the month. And now you're pregnant, too. With your condition, you won't…"The sting of disinfectant brought me back to consciousness. I froze, and silent tears slipped down my cheeks.How had this little life ended up inside me?The doctor sighed. "You really don't want to tell Mr. Drake or your family? At the very least, they'll have to sign off on the surgery.""What good would that do? If they actually cared, would they really not be here right now?"The doctor said nothing more. She only told me to rest and prepare for surgery.A message from Nolan lay on my phone."Evelyn feels sorry for you. She's worried you'll have an episode if you have to face the reporters, so you don't need to attend the press conference. I'll spend some time with her as an apology. Can you stop making me worry about you?"There were also page after page of messages from my mother and Sas
