Semua Bab When She Turns Her Back: Bab 211 - Bab 220

Talia pressed a hand to her chest. Whatever Christian and Yvonne were saying in the hospital room no longer reached her. Her mind was blank.When she left the hospital, she felt lost.Inside the room, Christian frowned slightly at Yvonne's request. Stroking his daughter's hair, he looked down at her with gentle eyes and softly asked, "Why would you ask for something like that?"As Yvonne tilted her small, pale face upward, tears shimmered in her eyes. Her lips trembled as she said softly, "That day when Mommy came to pick Maeve up, she didn't even look at me. It was raining, and Emma was the one who came for me. I called out to Mommy, asked her to take me to Grandma's house, but she ignored me. She just took Maeve and left. Daddy, she doesn't want me anymore."Christian's heart ached. He brushed a thumb over her cheek and gently said, "It's my fault for not handling things properly and letting it weigh on you for so long."Yvonne shook her head. "I don't blame you, Daddy. You're a

From Jennifer's tone, it was clear that she knew Nancy was deliberately trying to ruin someone's family. Yet, instead of showing even the slightest hint of guilt, she looked completely self-righteous.Even though Jennifer was a patient, Talia had no intention of tolerating her any longer. With a sharp, mocking smile, she snapped, "You worry too much. Don't you have enough of your own crap?"Jennifer's expression darkened immediately at Talia's vulgarity. "Don't you get it yet? Christian doesn't love you anymore. The person he loves now is Nancy."Talia's cold eyes bored into Jennifer, smoldering like fire under ice. "You don't have to tell me that. But just so you know, half of this house is still mine. If I wanted you out, you'd be gone. You should be thanking me for letting you stay and recover. Understand?"Jennifer had been careful to stay polite and respectful since arriving at Jubilee Manor, even when Christian was present. However, Talia's ferocity was too much to bear. In a

After returning to the Stewart residence, Talia went straight to take a shower.After stepping out, she checked her phone. There were no messages or missed calls from Christian.She had no idea whether he had taken her words to heart, and she certainly didn't know if he had signed the divorce papers.However, one thing was certain. The divorce could not be delayed any longer. Since nothing had progressed that day, she planned to follow up the next day. If he weren't available then, she would go the day after. No matter what, she would ask him every day about the divorce.The next morning, Talia called Christian several times, but he didn't answer. Knowing that he had to head to work, she stopped trying.At noon, she called again, only to hear that his phone was turned off.That evening, she called once more. This time, he answered, but the background was noisy. He was clearly with Julian and William. Talia got straight to the point. "Have you signed the papers?"Christian's voic

Nancy felt a little better after Julian comforted her. Yet, a sense of unease continued to linger in her heart.It was rumored that throughout Henry's graduate and doctoral years, no woman was ever seen around him. Back then, people questioned whether he was "normal". But later, at one of Shawn's dinners, Henry met Nancy.That day, she sought his guidance on several questions, and he patiently addressed each of them.To everyone else, it seemed like a tree that hadn't bloomed in years had finally flowered for a woman.From then on, rumors circulated in the medical field that Henry had fallen in love with Nancy at first sight.As the whispers grew louder, Nancy also caught wind of it. She let herself fantasize about the possibility of Henry confessing his love to her one day.However, things hadn't gone as she had planned. Henry never made a move. Instead, he only grew more distant.At the time, Nancy had just graduated with a bachelor's degree, while Henry had completed his post

It was Talia's birthday the next day.Madeline made a stack of pancakes for Talia in the morning.After breakfast, Paige presented the gift she had prepared in advance. It was a designer scarf.The gift from Henry was still on the table. Talia hadn't opened it. The flowers had also withered considerably after being left out overnight.She placed the sunflowers in a vase and set it down on the table by her bedside.Maeve had the day off. So, the moment she woke up, she went to Talia's room to give her folded paper cranes and paper boats, even fussing over wanting to braid Talia's hair.It was a rare moment of tenderness that made it hard for Talia to refuse.She spent the entire day with Maeve.Garrett booked a table at a restaurant that evening and took the whole family out to dinner.He never mentioned the reason for the outing, but everyone knew it was to celebrate his sister's birthday.The entire family gathered at the restaurant.Garrett had chosen a fondue restaurant w
