บททั้งหมดของ Five Years of Marriage to Mr. Bradford: บทที่ 471 - บทที่ 480

Robert lay unconscious and could no longer answer any questions.The paramedics lifted him onto the stretcher while Vance climbed into the ambulance right behind them. The elderly woman kept exclaiming until the ambulance drove away. Her voice faded in the distance.Emergency treatment followed, then admission to the ICU. The entire day passed in a blur.By the time Vance returned to the house, night had already fallen. The doctor had told him the outlook was grim and that the family should prepare for the worst.He had nothing to prepare. Robert had arranged everything for himself long ago. Calling Vance here had probably been nothing more than a request for him to bear witness: Robert Bradford had once existed.Vance had once declared he had no father, but when the end came, he would show up to see Robert off and close the bitter chapter of their bond.That night, he ate a couple of dry slices of bread, choking them down with water until he couldn't swallow another bite. Even w

Rebecca had zero interest in Vance's money, but these three large donations had suddenly been made in her name. She couldn't just ignore them.She planned to take him off her blacklist and ask him directly, but when she tried to send a message, a red exclamation mark appeared: [The receiver is not your friend.]He had deleted her after making those huge donations. She clicked on his profile. The background image was an AI-generated illustration of two hands cradling a fluttering butterfly.His bio had changed. It now read: [May all blessings in the world belong to her.]Rebecca thought of Isabelle, who had given birth. Her social media was now filled with baby photos and videos. Rebecca had even sent her a gift recently.She checked the time difference. Isabelle should be awake, so she sent a greeting. Isabelle replied right away, and they started chatting.Rebecca asked about the company.Isabelle explained: [The company has been sold. Lucas has been busy with the handover and

Isabelle frowned. "What do you mean by 'disappeared'? Did he vanish on his own, or did something happen to him?""He vanished on his own," Lucas said hoarsely. "I sent him a message today and found he had blocked me. I tried calling him and discovered he had changed his number. I can't reach him at all."Isabelle stroked her chin. "Did he emigrate?"Lucas shook his head. "I don't know. But he has nothing. How is he supposed to live?""You said he went to see his father. The old man passed away. Maybe his father left him something? Otherwise, why wouldn't he take any of the company money?" Isabelle said thoughtfully."He donated every cent his father left him and refused to take any of the money from selling the company." Lucas frowned, growing even more upset. "And during the divorce, he gave all the money he had earned to Rebecca. He really has nothing left now. I'm honestly afraid he might do something drastic. The last time we talked, he sounded like he was saying goodbye forev

But every time she looked around, Rebecca couldn't find anyone else.Maybe she was imagining things.On the weekend, she went to the clinic as usual. The treatment—on and off—had added up to almost a year now, and the results were remarkable.Because she hadn't lost any bone length, the therapy was effective. Even though she couldn't return to the peak of her dancing career, her everyday walking was basically normal.She could dance as long as she avoided extremely difficult moves.Desmond had come with her, as always. The clinic staff members were all familiar faces now.The first group of medical professionals Gabriel had hired at high salaries had been told they could leave anytime if they didn't adjust, as long as they gave notice.They had all chosen to stay and plan to renew their contracts. The moment she walked in, she noticed a table in the waiting area covered with pastries.Lately, the clinic had been providing snacks for everyone—sometimes cookies and sometimes cake

It was Vance!He was the owner of the Cookie House, the blonde girl's boyfriend, and the mature, handsome man the nurse had been raving about.Vance saw Rebecca and gave a small nod. His expression was calm and distant, like that of a polite acquaintance.Rebecca felt an arm tighten around her waist. Desmond had come over and was holding her possessively, his eyes fixed on Vance with clear hostility.He was staking his claim.Vance understood but remained composed. "Anna usually delivers the pastries. She couldn't carry this three-tier cake by herself today."It sounded like an explanation for why he was there.The nurse was stunned, glancing between them. "You know each other?"Rebecca studied Vance's face, ready to explain. He beat her to it. "We're from the same city. I used to run a company there and met her a couple of times.""You ran a bakery there, too?" the nurse asked curiously.Several of the nurses had only started last year after graduating, so they wouldn't have
