Lahat ng Kabanata ng When She Turns Her Back: Kabanata 551 - Kabanata 560

Hearing Yvonne's words and seeing how worried she looked, Christian thought for a moment and decided to check on Nancy at the graduate school first.He softened his tone and told Yvonne, "We'll head over there right now."Yvonne nodded. "Okay."Then, her gaze shifted to Talia not far away, where she saw Quentin standing beside her. They looked like more than just friends.Yvonne couldn't quite understand the feeling, but something about it made her uncomfortable.At that moment, she couldn't shake off a sense of unease. If Talia had another kid in the future, would she…Yvonne didn't dare to think any further. She just couldn't bring herself to.Talia, who had always put herself first, no longer seemed to care about her.After Christian made up his mind, he turned back to Talia and said, "Come with me."Quentin frowned at those words and let out a short, amused laugh. "Christian, you're going to see your lover. Shouldn't I be doing the same?"Christian didn't answer him. Inst

Once the dog had completely disappeared, Talia finally relaxed her tense body. She straightened up slowly and turned back to glance at Christian and Yvonne.When she saw Christian smiling at her, she suddenly realized what his smile meant. But then again, why would he ever care what she thought?Before she could completely dismiss her feelings, Christian suddenly chuckled and said, "Look at yourself. You still care about us."Talia calmly slid her bag over her shoulder and looked up at him. "In that situation, I would've done the same for a complete stranger."At her words, Christian said in a tone that left no room for argument, "No matter what, your instinctive actions can't fool anyone. You still care about Yvonne and me."Talia was amused by his words. She never realized before how much of a narcissist he could be.Not wanting to argue, she simply reminded him, "If we don't hurry, Ms. York's leg might be completely ruined."Before Christian could even react, Yvonne was alrea

Once they got into the car, Talia sat in the backseat with Yvonne beside her. They sat side by side, yet it felt as if they were separated by an entire universe.The car was silent. None of them spoke a single word.Through the rearview mirror, Christian stole occasional glances at Talia and Yvonne in the back seat. They sat like total strangers, neither willing to acknowledge the other's existence.Talia stared out the window at the passing lights, but her mind was elsewhere.When she thought about how she had agreed to Christian's request, she wanted to slap herself.But if she hadn't agreed, he would've found some other way to force her to comply.Thinking it over, she realized that it would be easier to just agree to his request.But what she couldn't understand was why Christian had changed so suddenly.Wasn't he supposed to be eager to divorce her? After they divorced, he could marry Nancy openly.Why, then, was he acting this way now?Whether it was lately or during th

The day they met?Talia couldn't remember that day, but she quickly texted Madeline, "Did you keep the bank card?"Madeline's reply came swiftly. "Yeah, I didn't dare keep it, but Quentin just dropped it and left."Talia's sense of unease deepened as she typed back quickly. "Mom, keep the bank card safe. I'll return it to him when I'm free.""Got it. I'll make sure to keep it safe."Talia gripped her phone tightly. After some thought, she typed again. "Did Quentin say anything else?"Madeline replied honestly without holding back, "He said to consider the card as the price for your hand in marriage."For a moment, Talia stared at the words, as if they didn't make sense to her.After a long pause, she finally replied, "Got it."Just as she locked her phone screen, a low, hoarse voice came from above her. "Who are you messaging?"It was Christian.Talia looked up at him. He was looking down, his face partly hidden in the dim light. His features were slightly blurred, but she c

Talia left the stairwell first. Christian followed close behind.The two of them walked together toward Nancy's ward.Christian deliberately moved to Talia's side, matching her pace as they walked.When they reached the ward, Talia didn't go in. Instead, she remained standing right at the doorway.Seeing that she had no intention of entering, Christian didn't force her.After stepping inside, he glanced at Nancy first. She was asleep. Only then did he turn to Yvonne and say, "Yvonne, it's time to go home."The moment Yvonne heard that, she panicked. She protested loudly, "No! I'm not going back. I want to stay here with Nancy."Christian softened his tone and coaxed her patiently, "Don't worry. I'll have Jane come over to keep Nancy company."Upon hearing this, Yvonne turned her face away and insisted, "No, I'm not going back. I'm going to take care of Nancy myself."Christian's expression darkened instantly. He lowered his voice and said, "I'll ask you one more time. Are you
