Loving You Was My Last Mistake のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

"The fetus is too small. I wouldn't recommend a procedure just yet. Come back in a week," the doctor told me. I walked out of the examination room in a daze. My mind had gone completely blank. A week felt unbearably long. It was as if time had decided to stand still. I wandered aimlessly down the hallway. To my surprise, I saw Ambrose supporting Nellie. His face was etched with worry. She leaned against him as they walked. With a weak but playful tone of reproach, she said, "It's just a little stomach pain. You're overreacting. Did you really have to make me go through all those tests?""You've got a stomach issue. From now on, I'll cook your meals and bring them to your office," he replied. His eyes were full of concern. "It's just mild acute gastritis. If you start bringing me food every day, won't Talitha be upset? She's always been sensitive."Nellie was always ready to take a jab at me, but never without that sweet, innocent tone. It was as though playing the victim made

Ambrose stared at my pale face, momentarily dazed. But Nellie spoke up just in time. "I'm fine, Ambrose. It just hurt a little when she pushed me. There's no need for her to apologize."Her expression was thoughtful, but her every word added fuel to the fire. In an instant, Ambrose's expression hardened again. He shoved my head down, trying to force me to apologize. "I won't! Ambrose, don't make me hate you!" I yelled. I fought back with all my might, yet despair and humiliation crashed over me like a tidal wave. Then, blood trickled down my leg, pooling quickly into a red smear on the floor. The pain was so intense that I nearly blacked out. A beat later, I collapsed to the ground. My body trembled uncontrollably. Ambrose's eyes widened the moment he saw the blood. Nellie, however, feigned shock. She covered her mouth and gasped. "Oh no! Talitha, are you on your period? Why didn't you wear a pad? Are you having cramps?"With that much blood, there was no way that Amb

I screamed and jolted awake. As I gasped for breath, a flight attendant's gentle voice pulled me back to reality."Ma'am, are you alright? We'll be landing soon."I took a moment to steady myself. Only then did I realize I was on the plane, and my seatbelt was securely fastened. Outside the window, an unfamiliar city stretched out below. For the first time in what felt like forever, a sense of peace settled over me. I took a deep breath and pressed a hand to my lower abdomen. Thankfully, my uterus was intact. I'd made it in time.…Dragging my suitcase behind me, I stepped out of the airport and into the sunlight. The warmth enclosed me, easing the nightmare's lingering chill.At that very moment, I felt like life was giving me a second chance.Then, I snapped my SIM card in half before tossing it into a trash can by the curb. I was certain Ambrose would text me. But I had no interest in reading his messages or hearing any more of his pathetic excuses. …Back in the city

Ambrose's eyes brimmed with resignation, and his voice carried a subtle plea as he began, "I know you won't believe a word I say, but I need to say it anyway. While you were gone, I realized I was actually in love with you. I just didn't know it before.""I thought we both understood from the start that this was all a lie," I replied coldly. The corners of my mouth curled up in a mocking smile. I added, "There was never any real feeling between us. So, where exactly would love fit into that? Ambrose, do you honestly think I'm that naive?"He stepped forward, wanting to close the distance between us. However, my icy glare stopped him in his tracks. Left with no choice, he stood rooted to the spot. "I'm here to take you home. I swear, I won't lay a finger on you. As for Nellie, I can't be bothered with her anymore."His voice grew more desperate with each word he spoke. Just as he was about to continue, his phone rang abruptly in his pocket, cutting him off.Frustrated, Ambrose

At my words, Ambrose lowered his head and buried his face in his hands. His shoulders trembled as his sobs grew louder. "I-I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for all the terrible things I've done."He was the son of the esteemed Sinclair family and the youngest chief surgeon at Ashforde General Hospital. Ambrose had a brilliant future ahead of him. But now, he couldn't even find a single eligible woman through introductions.The moment people in his circle heard about the things he'd done, they all backed away in fear.It had taken him a long time to finally find someone who actually took an interest in him. Unfortunately, Nellie, who was as crazy as ever, had ruined everything. Sometimes, people really did get what they deserved.Still, seeing Ambrose in such a state brought me no satisfaction. His so-called guilt was nothing but crocodile tears. It was insincere to the core.As I stood to leave, he grabbed the hem of my shirt and begged, "Tali, please… Give me another chance.""You'
