Semua Bab I Stopped Loving My Boyfriend Who Faked His Illness: Bab 11 - Bab 16

Henry stepped hard on the gas pedal all the way to the hospital. If he had not glanced at a piece of local news while he was about to drive back to the rental home, he would not have found out that Tessa had also gotten hurt at the graduation party.She had been lying in the middle of glass shards with champagne and blood all around her. It looked particularly serious.Henry was filled with guilt and self-reproach. He had reacted instantly at the time and protected Serene. He did not notice Tessa on the ground.To make things worse, he got so busy with the engagement party that all he did was send her a message in a hurry. He did not contact her after that.Tessa was probably feeling horrible, having to be all alone in the hospital.When he passed by a flower shop, Henry quickly hit the brakes. He entered the shop to get a bouquet of yellow roses. Yellow roses represented apology and hope for forgiveness.He was not just apologizing for ignoring her during the graduation party, h

However, before he could get on the plane, his family stopped him.Henry's father was grim when he slapped Henry. "You ungrateful thing! How long do you plan to keep this ruckus going?! That woman is just an orphan who has nothing. How could you cancel your engagement with the Chords for her?"I didn't mind you pretending to be poor and dating that woman for the last two years to help the Chords' daughter get back at her, but that doesn't mean I'll allow you to marry her. My daughter-in-law has to be from a family worthy of us, even if she isn't Serene Chord!"Henry's face snapped to the side from the heavy slap. Blood trickled from his mouth, but he continued to stare at his father defiantly."I won't marry Serene, nor any other woman. Tessa is the only woman I love."Henry's father heaved heavily from anger.
