Chapter 450

Author: Deer Woods
Gideon stopped short, his expression turning dazed.

The dining table, which had sat empty for who knew how long, now held several dishes, each a feast for the eyes and nose alike.

Not only that, but every light in the room had been switched off, leaving only the soft flicker of candlelight over the table.

In the dim glow, the woman's figure looked graceful and lovely. From behind, she really did resemble Lucille.

Was he losing his grip on reality? Lucille was at the hospital with Lily right

  • You Had This Divorce Coming   Chapter 466

    "You're so eager for me to let go. Isn't that because you want to swoop in and take my place? Let me tell you, Otto, I will not give you what you want!"As long as Lucille and I are still legally married, if you dare pursue her, you'll be the one intruding on our marriage!"Otto, think this through carefully. Step back now while there's still time, or I'll destroy your reputation and make sure every corner of high society turns its back on you!" Gideon warned.Otto shot Gideon a cold glance, his eyes unusually resolute. "I'm not like you. I don't care how the world sees me. All I want is for Lucille to breathe a little easier."Being good to her isn't about pursuing her or making her mine. It's about doing everything I can to help her become the carefree little girl she once was, the one who used to smile all day long."Something in Otto's words caught Gideon's attention, and his voice immediately tightened. "Childhood? You knew her when she was a child?"It took Gideon a few sec

    Gideon stared blankly at the scene before him. The woman lying on that gurney was, in name at least, his wife.Yet now, his former close friend stood guard over her, lavishing her with tenderness and care.Gideon had followed them the entire way. More than once, he had tried to step in, only for Otto's unyielding presence to shut him out completely.He should have been the one with every right to say those words to Lucille: "I'm here." Yet Otto had completely overshadowed him, reducing him to little more than background scenery, someone who hardly mattered at all.He watched the emergency room doors slowly swing shut and cut Lucille off from view.Otto stared at the closed doors without blinking. Anguished worry filled his eyes, as though the person lying beyond them were his entire world.Gideon could bear it no longer. The fury he had suppressed until now exploded all at once.He lunged forward and slammed his fist into the side of Otto's face. "You bastard! You carried my wif

    "Just give me a moment, okay? I really don't have the strength to fight with you right now, to keep going up against you. I—"By the time Lucille finished speaking, both her body and spirit had reached their absolute limit. She swayed unsteadily on her feet.Gideon and Otto reached out at the same time to catch her.But by pure instinct, Lucille fell toward Otto. He caught her and immediately felt the alarming heat radiating from her body. She was burning hot, almost like an iron.Something was terribly wrong. Otto opened his mouth to call for help.But the sight cut Gideon to the quick.He stepped in front of Otto and seized his arm in a crushing grip, his eyes darkening ominously. "That's my wife! Let go! I'll take her!"Otto was frantic. "Gideon, can you not cause a scene right now? Lucille's burning up! She's obviously running a fever too! Get out of the way!"Without another thought, Otto tore free of Gideon's grip and cradled Lucille in his arms before rushing toward the

    Otto's expression grew somber.He crouched in front of Lucille, his manner calm and composed. "Lucy, listen to me. If the results confirm the diagnosis and she really needs chemotherapy, your brother and I will do everything in our power to search worldwide for a bone marrow match."We'll do whatever it takes to save Lily's life. If it comes to that, we'll spend everything we have. I believe we'll find a match."There's always a way forward, even when it seems like you've reached the end of the road."Don't get ahead of yourself. Don't frighten yourself over something that hasn't happened yet. What if Lily turns out to be fine and this was all a false alarm?"Lucille looked at Otto, devastation in her eyes and her spirit utterly drained."But what if it really is exactly what the doctor said? Does that mean... Gideon and I are destined never to divorce? That I'd have to have another child with him?"Lucille didn't dare let herself think any further down that road. It felt as tho

    Gideon had nothing to say.After everything that had happened, he now felt an instinctive revulsion toward Rayne. He genuinely did not want to get tangled up in her affairs again. He wanted nothing more to do with her.Nonetheless, he could not simply ignore her.Years earlier, on the night Rayne had crept into his bed and nearly led them both into a terrible mistake, his mother had revealed a staggering secret to him.From that day forward, whatever half-formed youthful feelings he had once harbored for Rayne had transformed completely into the affection of a brother for his sister.He had watched Rayne grow up. No matter how far this sister of his had fallen or what she had become, he could never turn his back on her entirely.Gideon's brow furrowed deeply. He hesitated for a moment, then agreed after all."So when are you planning to go back?" he asked.Rayne said, "My father's waiting at home right now, so the sooner, the better. I'm afraid that if I take too long, he'll fo

    Rayne drew a deep breath, stepped aside at once, and answered the call. "Dad..."A cold demand came through the line immediately. "Rayne, what is going on? You've barely returned to the Riserow family, and you've already caused a scandal this enormous! Do you have any idea how much face you've cost our entire family?"Steven had just returned from a business trip abroad when news of the charity dinner fiasco reached him.Overjoyed to find a daughter so late in life, Steven had wasted no time throwing a lavish reunion banquet, eager to announce her return to the whole world.Little had he known that Rayne had not told him the truth. All he had known was that she had recently divorced and was raising a child alone. He had no idea who the child's father actually was.Now that the charity dinner scandal had blown wide open, every wealthy family and prominent figure in Coasthaven, and even across the country, knew that the daughter he had just welcomed home had cheated during her marri
