บททั้งหมดของ The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye: บทที่ 551 - บทที่ 560

Kane walked slowly, terrified of tripping with Aria in his arms. With each step, his foot reached out first, testing for obstacles before moving forward.By the time he finally, carefully, lowered Aria onto the bed—relying only on memory and touch—what felt like forever had already passed.She was pregnant and now burning with fever. He couldn't waste another second. Leaving her side, he stumbled toward the door.Without her in his arms, he didn't care if he fell. He slammed into walls and furniture more than once before finally finding the doorknob.His goal was Natalie's room. He wanted her help.But rushing out, disoriented and blind, he misjudged the hallway. His foot slipped, and he tumbled violently down the stairs.The noise woke Natalie and Fanny. They rushed out to find Kane slumped against the railing halfway down, blood running from a gash on his forehead, his hand clutching the banister for dear life."Kane! Oh my God—are you hurt? Does anything feel broken?" Natalie crouc

To keep Aria from worrying, Kane threw himself into treatment. No matter how discouraged he felt inside, he never let a word of it slip in front of her.Aria's fever eventually broke, though she lingered with a mild temperature for another two days before she fully recovered. During that time, the household was hectic—Natalie accompanied Kane to the hospital during the day, Garrick and Elena watched over Basia, and oddly enough, Aria was left without anyone constantly at her side.Natalie had wanted to leave Fanny at home to look after Aria, but Aria refused.She knew Fanny was used to staying by Natalie's side, and besides, Kane needed someone close when undergoing treatments. So Aria suggested they find someone new.The day of the interview, Aria was at the office with Kane, going through work matters, so it fell to Natalie, Garrick, and Elena to make the decision."Mom said it's settled. Her name's Rita. She used to work as a maternity nurse. When the baby's born, she can help with

The new housekeeper, Rita, proved to be both a solid cook and an honest worker.After shadowing her for a while, Fanny found nothing suspicious and allowed her to move freely around the house.Aria quickly grew fond of Rita, mostly because her cooking reminded her of Kane's.Sometimes, when Aria couldn't sleep and got midnight cravings, Kane would haul her out of bed and have Rita whip something up. Whatever Aria asked for, Rita always made it just right.One night, Aria was once again tossing and turning. With her big belly, she couldn't roll over naturally; instead, she awkwardly flipped onto her back, swinging from side to side like a restless seal.Kane wasn't asleep yet. Even with his failing vision, he could still track the shifting of her body. He didn't need to see her face to picture the pouty little expression she wore whenever she acted spoiled."Hungry again?" he asked, rubbing her head gently."Mm-hm." Aria burrowed deeper into the blanket, her voice muffled. "The baby's

Natalie followed the car to the hospital, her heart in her throat as Aria was rushed into the emergency room. Only then did it hit her—Kane was still at home.Thankfully, Basia had been staying with Garrick and Elena, so Natalie wasn't worried about the child. But Kane… that was another story. Even so, she couldn't leave Aria's side right now.After a moment of thought, she told Fanny to keep watch outside the ER while she called Garrick and Elena.With all the commotion tonight, they were probably already awake, and they deserved to know what was happening.More importantly, she needed them to look after Basia—and, if possible, to check on Kane.Once that was arranged, Natalie rejoined Fanny to wait anxiously in the hallway.An hour later, the doors finally swung open.The doctor explained that Aria had ingested medication meant to induce miscarriage. Luckily, she'd been brought in quickly enough for them to pump her stomach. Both mother and child were stable.Still, she needed to re

Cedric had always known Kane to be ruthless, but tonight he seemed… different. It unsettled him, and almost instinctively, Cedric followed.Back when Cedric first came to New York, he'd already been briefed on Kane's reputation. The man was decisive, merciless in business. When he set his sights on something, he never let go. Once he laid a trap, no one escaped.His ruthlessness was common knowledge. People in the corporate world steered clear of crossing him.But the look on his face tonight—the cold finality in his tone—made Cedric realize he had never truly seen the real Kane.Following him down to the basement, Cedric's eyes immediately fell on Rita, strapped to a steel rack, her stomach lashed raw with whip marks.Before Cedric could even process the scene, Kane carried the bucket of brine forward and, without hesitation, dumped it over her."AHHHH!"Rita's scream pierced the room.The saltwater seared through open flesh like fire, sharper than the whip itself. The initial agony
