Semua Bab Leaving You Bereft: Bab 241 - Bab 250

There were just too many memories. That piano in the restaurant—Julian had once played it.Julian lifted the piano lid and sat down, playing a familiar tune with one hand. Memories of the past echoed in the restaurant, lingering for a long time. At the corner of his eyes, a faint glint of emotion shimmered.Willow was a regret, a heartache, and a mark he could never erase. She was unforgettable for life!Sitting at the dining table, Sacha stared at the man she had fallen for. However, her gaze dimmed.She thought that through effort and pleasing Julian, he might come to like her, even if just a little. But the man before her was filled with longing for his ex-wife.He couldn't hide his feelings for Willow, nor did he want to hide them.Sacha decided not to do wrong to herself anymore. She had had enough.She grabbed a napkin and wiped away her smudged eyeliner. Her voice was laced with sadness as she faced the refined man across from her."Julian, I don't want to marry you anym

Julian stepped into the room. He sat down by the bed, reaching out to gently touch his children's soft cheeks. He said softly, "Landon needs someone to take care of him. That's why I thought about remarrying."Melanie's eyes were filled with tears. She wanted to say something, but held back.She couldn't understand why Julian continued to suppress everything inside him. Why didn't he ever tell Willow about what happened back then—about his crushed arm, about Landon's illness?If he had, at least the family would be whole, and Landon wouldn't need a stepmother.The dim and yellow lighting illuminated Julian's gentle expression. He didn't want Willow to feel wronged. She had already endured so much pain in her life, and he had once promised her freedom.Melanie wanted to push a little further, but Liam stopped her. He sighed and whispered, "Let the young ones handle their own affairs."With that, Melanie and Liam left the room quietly.The night was still and quiet, leaving only t

Just as she was about to ask, Willow shook her head. "I'm going to the hospital."With that, she opened a black umbrella and walked out of the villa.Once in the car, she immediately called Julian. As soon as the call connected, she asked him hoarsely, "Julian, where's Landon? Where is he?"Before Julian could respond, Willow's tone sharpened. "Julian, how much longer are you going to keep this from me? What else are you hiding from me? "Right now, I want to know where Landon is. I want to know where my son is!"The autumn rain drizzled, tapping on the windshield.From the other end of the line came Julian's voice, hoarse and ragged. "Hope Garden Hospital."It was the weekend, so the traffic was terrible. Every stoplight felt like it was working against her. By the time Willow arrived at the hospital, it was almost 7:00 pm.She walked into the children's ward, and it felt as if she'd stepped into a different realm. That eerie feeling was something she hadn't felt in years.Th

The quiet night went on.Willow could barely hold it together, but she still sat down at the table. No matter how hard the food was to swallow, she forced herself to eat every bite.She was no longer the Willow of the past. Now, she was Landon's mother.But the sorrow was overwhelming. Her tears kept falling into the food.Melanie was distressed as well. She comforted Willow softly and then glanced at Julian. That mangled arm of his was a constant reminder of her own foolishness. The marks on her face pained her even more.Melanie couldn't hold back any longer. She wept and said, "That day, I was supposed to send you two off. But I must've been out of my mind."I answered a call and got caught up thinking about Alicia, whom I watched grow up. I couldn't bear to see her suffer, so I wanted to send her some money to improve her meals."Who would've thought that Alicia would knock me out cold? By the time I woke up, a few hours had passed."By the time I rushed to the hospital, Ju

Alicia went mad, screaming and cursing wildly. She even tried to spit at Willow.Someone rushed in, stuffing a dirty rag into her mouth. She could only glare at Willow with her dim eyes filled with resentment.All she could do was make muffled whimpering sounds.Willow calmly dusted her collar, her voice still gentle. "Draw her blood and check for AZ."That man nodded in agreement. "Good idea. Her private life's been a complete mess anyway."Willow gave Alicia one final look. "Don't worry. I'll make sure you stay alive. You'll stay here until you die of old age."After saying that, Willow turned and left, ignoring the whimpering and cursing behind her.Outside, the sunset was blazing, painting the world in scorching light.Willow looked at the sunset and felt like she could see Grace's kind smile as she cooked in the kitchen. She could even hear her gentle voice singing old lullabies…But unfortunately, because of Alicia, all of that was gone!After finishing her business, Wi
