All Chapters of When Love Came Too Late: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Even though the wedding photos looked real, Shane refused to believe Bethany could break up with him one day and marry someone else the next.For six years, he had been the center of her life. He knew about her social circle, and he was sure she had not met any other men during that time. The idea that she could suddenly get married made no sense to him.Shane guessed the man in the wedding photos was someone Bethany had found just to make him angry.She probably wanted to scare him into giving in and winning her back.When he thought that, he started to feel a little better. Bethany must be getting impatient waiting for him. If he went to her, spoke nicely, and admitted he was wrong, she would forgive him.Mia told him Bethany had gone back to her hometown. Shane tried to recall the address but drew a blank. In six years, he had only visited once, and he left after two days because he had to return to comfort Yelena. He could not remember her address at all.So, he asked Mia

When the doctor finally reached Gavin, it had already been two hours since the car accident.He told Gavin that Shane had been in a terrible crash. Both of his legs were crushed under the wheels, and the only way to save his life was to amputate them. Because of massive blood loss, his blood pressure had dropped too low. The blood clots could cause necrosis in his arms, which meant Shane might lose them, too.The news hit Gavin so hard that he fainted on the spot.Meanwhile, at the wedding, Bethany wore the gown Hudson had chosen for her. Holding onto Griffin’s arm, she walked slowly down an aisle covered with rose petals.In the center of the dreamy wedding stage, Hudson stood under the spotlight and watched Bethany walk toward him with deep affection.Seeing his daughter find such a good match, Griffin could not hold back his tears. He fought to keep his emotions in check and solemnly placed Bethany’s hand into Hudson’s.In a trembling voice, he said, “Hudson, from today, I’m

“Give up already! I’ll never marry you! Get rid of the baby. Even if it’s mine, I won’t accept it!”Seeing Shane being so stubborn, Gavin sighed. “Shane, don’t act like this. Bethany is already married. You have to face reality. Yelena cares about you, and she’s carrying your child! You should be with her and stop making me worry so much.”Shane had lost both legs, and whether he could keep his arms was still uncertain. He had once been a talented young man, but he was disabled at present. Who would want to marry a man like him?Before, Gavin had opposed Shane being with Yelena, but with his current condition, she was Shane’s only option.Shane was naturally stubborn. Once he made up his mind, nothing could change it. He had always been loved. He had relied on Bethany’s love and felt untouchable.Only after Bethany left did he see how much space she had always held in his heart.His feelings for Yelena had been just pity. He had only loved and doted on her as a sister. He had

Bethany did not realize how badly Shane had been hurt in the car crash until she saw him on the stage. At first, she was shocked and could not believe what she saw. Then, she started to feel sorry for him. Shane had always been proud. He used to be every woman’s dream, but he looked so broken at present. She could not imagine how much this must have crushed him. She felt a little guilty. If she had not ended things with him that way, Shane would not have gone to Wood City to find her. Maybe he would not have ended up like this.Hudson noticed her mood and squeezed her hand in comfort. “Don’t feel bad. Things like these happen. It’s not your fault.”Despite being the groom, Shane did not smile even once during the ceremony. His face looked devoid of emotion. He just followed the emcee’s instructions one step at a time. Gavin did not smile either. Phoebe’s eyes were red. She had broken down and cried before going on stage.Yelena was her only daughter. She had only ever wa

Hudson did not go to the hospital after the rescue because he did not want Bethany to worry. He pushed through the pain and went home to take care of her. When Bethany’s condition finally stabilized, Xandra told her what really had happened that night.“Hudson’s such a good man. Everyone else was too scared to go down and save your dad, but he didn’t hesitate. If it weren’t for him, your dad might not have made it back.”Bethany did not know about any of this. After hearing Xandra’s story, she hugged Hudson and cried so hard that her tears and snot covered his shirt.“Why didn’t you tell me? Why did you keep it from me? From now on, you have to tell me everything! Don’t hide anything from me ever again!”Hudson ruffled her hair. “I couldn’t let our baby be born without a grandpa, silly! He’s your dad and my father-in-law. I did what I should. I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to worry. We’re both fine now, aren’t we?”Bethany looked at him through her tears. The thou
