The next morning, during lunchtime, Henry appeared in the hospital room once again. Knowing him well, I understood that he wouldn’t willingly come to the hospital every day.It was highly likely that he was just here to fulfill an obligation. Jethro followed behind him.Jethro respectfully placed a thermos on the small table in front of me, and I thanked him politely. Henry took a seat on the chair by the bedside, crossing his left leg over his right, and watched me with an amused expression.Under his gaze, I silently ate my meal. About halfway through, he suddenly asked, "Are you sticking to what you said earlier?"I paused with my chopsticks in hand and looked up at him in silence. "Divorce?"I quietly looked at Henry and asked, "Are you serious?"Henry laughed contemptuously and said, "Of course.""Alright, divorce..."I didn't ask Henry why he had suddenly changed his mind. I knew it was because he had grown strong enough and no longer needed me. We didn't bother going to the

I listened, utterly stunned. Cynthia, with a sly smile, asked, "Well? Surprised, aren't you?"I gazed at my half-sister before me, unable to utter a word.She continued, "The biggest surprise is yet to come."Before I could regain my senses, Cynthia gave me a forceful shove. Caught off guard, I tumbled to the ground, my head spinning in confusion."Die, Yvonne!" Cynthia spat out with venom as she stood over me.I let out a cry of agony.She taunted me, "I've wanted to do this for a long time. Did you ever imagine this day would come?""Heh," she laughed wickedly."Die!" She shouted.My anger surged, and I rose abruptly, delivering a powerful slap to Cynthia.Cynthia snapped, consumed by rage, and she lunged at me with bared teeth and clawed hands.Suddenly, a voice rang out, "Cynthia, Mr. Lu is back!"Cynthia immediately found her bearings, pretending to be distraught, and rushed off to find Henry.Not long after, Henry appeared with a grim expression. Through clenched teeth, he uttere

In the last second before I lost consciousness, Henry picked me up from the ground and I mustered my last ounce of strength to push him away."Don't come near me..."When I woke up from my stupor, all I could see was pure whiteness. My entire body felt heavy, and even a slight movement caused excruciating pain."Yvonne..."Henry saw me open my eyes and immediately leaned in."You're awake?"I swallowed hard and struggled to speak, "Baby..."Henry quickly picked up a nearby towel, intending to wipe my face, but I stopped his hand and asked, "Is the baby still there?"He said, "If you're willing, we can still have a child."In that moment, I felt like I had been cast into hell by God. Tears flowed silently like an endless river."Don't cry, Yvonne..."For the first time, Henry was flustered in front of me, and for the first time, I saw a look of genuine concern in his eyes. But this belated affection was as insignificant as dust. I no longer needed his love.Henry changed from his prev

Melvin Chawford was my childhood sweetheart and the man I was supposed to marry through an arranged marriage. My infatuation with Henry was well-known in the capital, just as everyone in the country knew about Melvin's deep affection for me. The most significant incident was when he attempted suicide after failing to marry me.At that time, Melvin's life hung in the balance, and Henry watched with almost mocking indifference as my wedding dress was soaked in blood. He coldly said, "You deserve this," before walking away, leaving Melvin on the brink of death.I begged Henry relentlessly, hoping he would cooperate with me in this act. But Henry paid no attention to my pleas. He cared even less about whether Melvin lived or died.In the end, Melvin's tender-hearted nature towards me prevailed once more, and he yielded.He promised me that he wouldn't entertain thoughts of suicide again, and I reassured him that I would find happiness.After that, Melvin left, and we never saw each oth

I arrived at the airport alone, planning to give Melvin a surprise. TThe airport today was quite different from usual. It was crowded with many journalists and stranded passengers. I stopped a hurried passerby and learned about a recent plane crash. My heart sank, and my body started trembling uncontrollably. I hid in the airport restroom, shaking as I checked the flight information. The crashed plane model happened to be the same as Melvin's private jet. Once I confirmed the situation, I suddenly became calm. I rushed back home.After getting everything ready, I called Henry."Did you do this?" I inquired.Henry's tone grew solemn. "Yvonne, you should understand that no one can take away what I cherish."I responded with a smirk, "Impressive, the new head of the Luther family is quite formidable."Henry continued, "I can give you time to calm down, to heal. You can vent, yell at me, or even hurt me here if you need to. But no one else can separate us.""Henry, you've been just
