All Chapters of Leaving You Bereft: Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

It was late into the night at the Obstetrics and Gynecology hospital in Yarrowmere. It seemed as if a huge chasm had opened up in the sky, unleashing torrential rain that scoured the world below until it gleamed with an unsettling clarity, a scene both otherworldly and strange.In the delivery room on the second floor, Willow had been lying on the delivery bed, breathing in and out steadily under the medical staff's instructions, pushing with all her might to give birth to her babies.It was around 12:00 am when Willow's water broke, and almost immediately, the first baby began to enter the birth canal. It was past the point for a C-section by the time they arrived at the hospital, leaving her with no choice but to deliver both babies naturally.It was thundering outside while Willow was lying on the delivery bed, her body completely drenched in sweat. Heather remained by Willow's side, holding her hand firmly and repeatedly calling out her name, offering her physical and emotiona

It wasn't long before blood flowed, drop by drop, through the transparent tube into Willow's veins. It could be seen that, under the stark glare of lights, she was soaked in sweat, as if she had been lying in a pool.She weakly opened her eyes and gazed at the figures above. Through the hazy vision, she seemed to have noticed Julian's face. She was somewhat bewildered, wondering if the person before her was really Julian. What was he doing here? Hadn't he gone to Grandsburg? Hadn't he insisted on going?She gently blinked her eyes, her vision slowly coming into focus on Julian's face. In her pain-induced haze, she thought she had gone back five years in the past—back to when they got married. She reached out her slender hand and grabbed Julian's shirt, her voice sounding raspy and choked with tears as she pleaded, "Please don't go to Grandsburg, Julian. Please don't go, alright?" Julian was stunned for a moment before realizing that Willow wasn't fully lucid. He kneeled, clasped Wi

In the dead of the night, a white mist crept up the mountainside, swirling and obscuring the entire summit. Upon coming out of the columbarium, Willow was utterly lost in her grief, her frail body swaying unsteadily. She kept repeating Landon's name under her breath, still drowning in her immeasurable pain.Upon seeing Willow come out in such a state, Julian quickly approached her and took off his coat, draping it over her shoulders.Willow fixed him with a vacant gaze. Her eyes held no spark of life, only a deep, abiding sadness. She gently brushed his hand away, wanting neither his comfort nor his presence. His black coat then slid off her shoulders and landed on the ground.Julian swallowed hard, his throat moving noticeably as he said hoarsely, "You should take care of yourself even if you're still upset with me, Willow."Willow looked ahead into the night, her voice steady and unwavering as she said, "It's none of your business whether I'm in good health or not, Julian."Ju

Liam and Melanie had rushed over as well.Landon, huddling in the incubator, gently stirred his fragile body. His small chest was rising and falling with labored breaths, a tiny warrior determined to survive.Melanie kneeled on the floor and gazed at Landon, her eyes brimming with tears. She then said, "You have to tell Willow about this, Julian! I mean, Landon is her own flesh and blood! You can't keep this from her forever. In addition, the Chapmans are planning to send her abroad. What if Landon doesn't make it? She'll never have the chance to see Landon again. That's a regret that'll haunt her forever!"Julian lowered his gaze, his voice rasping beyond recognition as he said, "He only has a 1% chance of survival, Mom. How can I tell her that? It would definitely crush her. It would eat away at her, steal her rest, and drown her in agony. I'd rather she hold resentment toward me; at least after the initial pain, she can live a decent life. "I'm certain that going abroad is the

It was pouring the following day when a black car pulled up outside Nebula Group's building. The driver circled to the back to open the door, and Willow got out with an umbrella over her head. However, the downpour was so heavy that a patch of her jacket was soon soaked. Esther was waiting for her by the car. She led Willow to the office on the top floor and got her a glass of milk. Then, she said, "Mr. Ziegler is in a meeting, but he should be here soon. Please have a seat and wait for a while."With that, she left the office.Willow didn't sit. Instead, she stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows and gazed out at the scenery of most of Brindley. Rain veiled the view in a soft, gray mist and soaked the streets… Perhaps also dousing the embers of one's youth and ambition.She stared outside for so long that time seemed to blur, making her feel like that day was no different from years ago.In a daze, she felt like she was taken back to the past, when she was still Nebula Group'
