Lahat ng Kabanata ng When She Turns Her Back: Kabanata 251 - Kabanata 260

After washing her hands, Talia looked up and saw another figure in the mirror.Christian was leaning against the wall, his gaze fixed on the stain on Talia's back. Suddenly, he said, "That person did it on purpose."Talia straightened up and wiped her hands with a paper towel. She replied, "Well, I won't be so sure."She really wasn't. There were many people at the banquet hall. It was hard to tell if the woman had done it intentionally.Besides, the woman had bumped right into her back. It wasn't like Talia had eyes at the back of her head.Christian shifted his posture. Crossing his arms, he looked at her and said, "I saw it clearly. She did it on purpose. Did you offend someone?"Talia was briefly silent before saying, "Even if I did, it would be someone from your family."Christian stared deeply into her eyes and solemnly asked, "Do you think we're that petty?"Amused by his words, she smiled softly but said nothing further.Christian might not know whether the Lanes were

The straightforward conversation only confirmed what everyone was thinking. Quentin clearly had his eye on Shayla and was trying to find out more about her.The people around them murmured with envy, but Quentin ignored them."Well, Ms. Wilder, what do you think of me?" Quentin asked.Shayla froze for a moment. As she looked at him, she replied shyly, "Given who you are and your position, you're in a league of your own."Quentin smiled and nodded appreciatively. "Not bad. You know how to talk."Shayla felt even more pleased and said, "Thank you, Mr. Henderson."She then picked up a glass of wine and offered it to Quentin. He looked down at it but didn't take it right away.At that moment, her hand holding the glass began to tremble slightly.In the end, Quentin accepted it.Her face lit up with joy. She poured herself another glass and clinked it gently against his. "Mr. Henderson, this one's for you."With that, she drank hers all in one go.Whispers started among the crowd

Talia had also heard Nancy's shout. Without thinking, she dropped the food in her hand and ran outside.Willow, seeing this, hurried after her.They, along with others, went to the venue's backyard to search for Yvonne.Talia was frantic. She couldn't even tell whether the drops on her face were sweat or tears.She looked around in a panic as she ran while calling out, "Yvonne, where are you? Don't scare me. Answer me, please!"She passed the playground and swimming pool, but there was still no sign of Yvonne.Her worry grew unbearable. Tears and sweat streamed down her face.Christian arrived at the scene as well. When he saw Talia, he hesitated for a moment."Have you found Yvonne yet?" Talia asked anxiously.Christian shook his head, just as anxious. "Not yet."Talia's desperation burst out, and she yelled, "Christian, I won't forgive you if anything happens to her!"She was shaking with anger, and her legs nearly gave out.Seeing that, Christian reached out to steady he

Despite her hematophobia, Talia had firmly chosen the path of medicine. She believed she could overcome this inner fear, and she did. But that night, that familiar fear had crept back into her heart.As Willow supported her outside the event hall, Talia suddenly lost her footing and collapsed forward."Talia!" Willow called out urgently.The moment she fell, the pain she expected didn't come. In a haze, she sensed a figure approaching.The scent on the person was familiar. It was a faint mix of tobacco and perfume.Talia felt herself being lifted into the air, and an intense gaze locked onto her, as if it were trying to burn her to ashes.Right after, she felt her body shake. She knew that she was being held in someone's arms as they walked.At the same time, a voice filled with complex emotions sounded in her ear. There was resentment, guilt, pain, and helplessness in it."Why do you always end up like this when you're with him? I was gone less than an hour, and you're already

At that thought, Talia declined Christian, saying, "It's already late. You take good care of her. I need to rest."Before Christian could say more, she decisively hung up.After ending the call, she set her phone to silent mode and turned it off.That night, Talia had a nightmare, reliving the pain of giving birth to Yvonne.She had a natural delivery, but her cervical blood vessels ruptured, causing massive bleeding and infection. To save her life, the doctors had to replace all her blood.Only she knew the depth of that pain, and the terror nearly swallowed her whole. But in the end, she survived.Every time she recalled that experience, she felt suffocated.When she woke the next morning, tears streaked her face. She sat on the bed, staring blankly into space.After an unknown stretch of time, there was a knock on the door. Maeve called out, "Aunt Talia, are you awake? May I come in and check on you?"Upon hearing the voice, Talia snapped back to reality and hoarsely replie
