Marrying Without You のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 261 - チャプター 270

"No!"Rosalyn was absolutely certain. She understood exactly what Eric meant by asking that. "Do you think she's coming after me for revenge?"Eric's gaze was fixed on her. "What kind of grudge do you think she could possibly have with you?""If there is one, it's probably because my mother was once in a relationship with her man." That wasn't exactly a secret, and with Eric, she didn't feel the need to hide anything.But her mother had already passed away.Zayne said Naomi was only doing this to find the person he had always kept hidden in his heart. At first glance, that explanation sounded plausible. Any woman would feel jealous knowing her husband shared a bed with her while loving someone else. But the more Rosalyn thought about it, the more absurd it felt.Zayne and Naomi had been married for over twenty years, and she had tolerated it all this time. And now, she suddenly had some kind of awakening in her old age?"I need you to do me a favor," Rosalyn said suddenly.Eric

In the middle of the night, Rosalyn was sound asleep.Eric slipped out quietly and glanced at the men Luke had brought with him. "I want airtight security. No one gets in.""Rest assured, Mr. Hammond!" the two bodyguards replied in unison.Luke slung an arm around Eric's shoulder. "Don't you trust the people I brought?""It's exactly because I trusted them too much that this happened," Eric said. All the playfulness he showed Rosalyn was gone."This one's on me." Luke was clearly embarrassed.Pulling something like this on his friend was no different from slapping him in the face."Have they found him?" Eric asked as he got into the car. Dressed head to toe in black casual wear, he looked cold and enigmatic."We traced it through the kid's game console. That person has already confessed who was behind it," Luke said and paused. "Care to guess who?"Eric stared into the endless darkness. He already had his answer. "I'd like to hear how he plans to explain himself."When Zayne

They exchanged glances. Neither said anything, yet both understood each other perfectly well.Something had clearly happened. Otherwise, they wouldn't have received calls at the same time in the middle of the night.Not wanting to interfere with Rosalyn's call, Eric stepped out onto the balcony. Rosalyn answered the call. "Wendy."On the balcony, Eric's expression darkened as he listened. It grew heavier by the second."Eric, are you listening?" Sean finished speaking but got no response, so he prompted him."Yeah.""The photos and videos are very clear. I've sent them to you. The internet is blowing up fast. Someone clearly bought traffic, and they want to make this as big as possible." Sean laid out his judgment.Ever since Sean mentioned what happened, Eric had been watching Rosalyn through the floor-to-ceiling glass. Her expression barely changed, but he knew she must have already heard about it from Wendy.Her calmness was almost unbelievable, and it made his chest ache.

When Eric saw Laura, she was drenched in sweat. Water dripped from the tips of her hair, and bruises mottled the skin exposed beneath her clothes.She looked pitiful enough to break anyone's heart.Peter glanced at the caregiver. "Why wasn't she taken to change first? She'll catch a cold like this. Her immune system is already weak. What happens if she gets sick?"The caregiver lowered her head. "Ms. Layton insisted on coming over first."Laura immediately nodded and shook her head at Peter, signaling him not to blame anyone else."Wipe her sweat off first, then put something warm over her," Peter said. He met Eric's gaze but offered no explanation. He only added, "Mr. Hammond, I need to get back to work."In the lounge, Laura sat wrapped in a sports blanket. She lifted her gaze timidly to Eric.Eric didn't speak. They stared at each other in silence until Laura finally dropped her gaze. Her fingers twisted the hem of her clothes."You don't need to put on this fragile act," Er

The light above the emergency room doors was blinding.Rosalyn stared at it without blinking. What kept replaying in her mind was the sight of Julia coughing up blood that was so vividly red.It wasn't the first time she'd seen it, but Julia had always hidden it from her before. This time, though, she had done it right in front of Rosalyn. She must not have been able to hold it in anymore.Otherwise, she wouldn't have let Rosalyn see.She never wanted Rosalyn to worry.But she failed this time.Rosalyn had known for a long while that Julia's life was already on a countdown. She thought she was mentally prepared. Yet when the moment truly arrived, she finally understood how terrifying it was.Rosalyn felt a hand on her shoulder, and she looked up to see Eric watching her intently. "It'll be okay."He pressed her head against his chest, his voice steady as he said, "It'll be okay. I'm here."Rosalyn didn't resist. She leaned into him, and for that moment, the sound of his heartb
