When You Let Me Fall Chapter 11 I Didn't Wait
Seamus did not answer for me. He simply stood quietly at my side. I said, "Because when I needed him, he was there." Nathan's fingers tightened around the bouquet, crumpling the paper around the flowers. "What if I'm there from now on?" I looked at him. "I don't need you anymore." Nathan fell silent. By the time he finally spoke again, almost everyone had already left the lobby. "Is there really no chance for me?" "No." His voice grew quieter. "Not even if I spend the rest of my life making it up to you?""Your life belongs to you," I replied. "I don't want you to spend it making things up to me. And I don't want you waiting for me either." For the last time, I said his name with complete seriousness. "Nathan, let me go and let yourself free too." Nathan lowered his head. A tear slipped down his cheek and landed on the crushed flowers in his hands. It was the first time I had ever seen him cry, yet I felt neither satisfaction nor hesitation. All I felt was a strang
When You Let Me Fall Chapter 10 Too Late
Nathan stayed outside until the rehabilitation centre was about to close for the night. Before he left, he handed the security guard an envelope and asked him to give it to me. Inside were the divorce papers. He had signed them. He had filled in the section on the division of assets. The house, the cars, the savings, even a portion of his shares in Riley Holdings—he had left all of it to me. At the bottom was a short note. 'Joslyn, I signed it. If you don't want to see me, I'll wait outside.' I read the note once, then tore it in half. The divorce papers, however, I kept. ... The next morning, I had just finished my first round of therapy when Nathan showed up again. This time, he did not come inside or ask a nurse to bring me downstairs. He simply left breakfast for me at the front desk. It was from a little dumpling place on the west side of town that I used to love. When we were together, whenever I asked for something from there, Nathan always gave the same
When You Let Me Fall Chapter 9 I Don't Know You
Nathan's face tightened. "She didn't cry." Rosie stared at him in disbelief. "She signed divorce papers. How is that any different?" "She was hurt." Rosie's voice rose. "She was hurt, Nathan. Not you!" Her outburst drew several glances from people passing through the lobby. Nathan noticed and lowered his voice. "Go back to your room." "No." "Rosie." She held his gaze, refusing to move. "If you go to Pinehurst today, I'll release this." Then, she pulled out her phone and opened a video. It was footage from the crash. The camera shook violently as wrecked cars blocked the mountain road. My SUV had smashed through the guardrail, leaving half of it hanging over the cliff. A shard of twisted metal had pierced the window, and blood ran down my face as I clung to Nathan's hand with both of mine. There was nothing beneath my feet. Then, Rosie's crying came through the recording. Nathan turned toward the sound. A moment later, his jaw tightened, and he began prying m
When You Let Me Fall Chapter 8 He Was Always Almost Leaving
Rosie asked Nathan, "Then, will you hate her?" He shook his head. "No." Rosie smiled faintly, even as tears slipped down her cheeks. "See? You don't hate anyone. I'm the only one who keeps suffering." She let go of his sleeve and headed for the stairs, but halfway up, she grasped the railing and staggered. Nathan caught her quickly to keep her from falling. "Careful." Rosie leaned against his chest. "My leg hurts." "Sit down." She looked up at him. "Will you take me to the hospital?" Nathan glanced toward the front door, then pulled out his phone and called George. "I need to know where Joslyn was transferred." George's response was immediate and firm. He refused to reveal anything about my transfer. Nathan ended the call and turned back to Rosie. "I'll take you to the hospital. After that, I'm going to look for her." She lifted her tear-streaked face. "What if you can't find her?" "I'll keep looking." "What about me?" "You have an aide. She'll take care of
When You Let Me Fall Chapter 7 She Doesn't Want Me Anymore
Nathan called Dr. Newman as soon as he could. He demanded, "Dr. Newman, where was Joslyn transferred?" "I'm sorry, Mr. Riley, but I'm not authorized to give you that information." "I'm her husband." "She specifically asked us not to disclose her location to you." Nathan fell silent for a moment, then said, "Her injuries require family care." "She's already made arrangements." The call ended, leaving Nathan standing there with his phone still pressed to his ear. Then, a message from Rosie appeared on the screen. 'I suddenly can't breathe. Can you come back?' He stared at it but did not reply. A few seconds later, his phone rang. It was Rosie. "Nathan, I'm sorry," she said softly. "I'm not trying to bother you." "Rosie, I have something to take care of today." "You're looking for Joslyn, aren't you?" "That's between her and me." Rosie paused briefly before speaking again. "She doesn't want you anymore. Why are you still chasing after her?" Nathan's voice
When You Let Me Fall Chapter 6 This Time, I Left
By the time Nathan returned to my room, a nurse was already stripping the bed. The bed was empty. The only thing left behind was an envelope of documents resting on the pillow. Nathan stopped in the doorway. "Where's Joslyn?" The nurse turned to him. "She's been transferred to another hospital." "To which hospital?" "I'm sorry, but she specifically asked us not to disclose that information." Nathan crossed the room and tore open the envelope. Inside were the divorce papers. My signature was already written at the bottom of the first page. He flipped through the documents quickly. When he reached the section on dividing assets, his hand froze. The house, the cars, the savings—I had asked for none of them. The nurse held out a phone. "She asked me to give you this." It had only one recording. My voice came through the speaker. "Nathan, I signed the papers. You can handle the rest." After a brief pause, I added, "Don't look for me." The recording ended. Nathan qu
