Lahat ng Kabanata ng His Regret Began When I Abandoned Him: Kabanata 291 - Kabanata 300

The sound of the solid teak door of the apartment suite closing tightly marked the end of Malveno's visit that night.Anna stood quietly behind the door for a moment, leaning against it as she let out a long breath. Her right hand gently touched the back of her left hand—the very place where the lingering warmth of Malveno's firm grip and the gentle stroke of his thumb still seemed vividly imprinted. An unfamiliar warmth settled deep within her chest, a sense of peace she had not felt in the past seven years.After straightening her dress and fixing her hair, Anna slowly walked toward the living room. The golden glow of the chandelier illuminated the spacious room. There, Grandma Wen was seated on the main sofa, holding a financial document on her lap while sipping her now-cold herbal tea."You're finally back, Anna?" Grandma Wen called without taking her eyes off the papers in her hands. Her aged, slightly hoarse voice echoed through the quiet room."Yes, Grandma," Anna replied softl

Beneath the clear, gentle morning sunlight of Central Park, the wind blew softly, shifting the leaves and leaving an exceedingly deep silence surrounding the three individuals. Anna still stood frozen in place, her arms tightly embracing Aurora's body. The girl's sobs, which were slowly subsiding within her embrace, left a faint tremor that traveled straight into the center of Anna's chest. The tears that had wet Anna's own cheeks slowly dried beneath the breeze, but the tightness in her chest had yet to ease.Daven stood one step beside them. His gaze, which always appeared cold and resilient, was now glistening with tears, radiating the profound longing he felt as he looked at the woman who looked so much like his mother.Anna slowly pulled herself back from the surge of unfamiliar emotions that had just shaken her soul. With an extraordinarily natural gentleness, she stroked Aurora's back, then slightly loosened her embrace to look at the faces of the two teenagers before her."I'm

Aurora's heartfelt confession struck like a bolt of lightning through the silence of the morning in Central Park. The cold air slowly crept in, freezing Malveno and Anna where they stood. Their gazes shifted back and forth between Aurora and Daven, taking in every trace of emotion and every tear glistening in the eyes of the two teenagers before them.Malveno was the first to break the heavy silence. His throat felt tight, but an overwhelming curiosity compelled the tall man to step forward."Aurora... Daven..." Malveno called softly, his voice trembling slightly as he suppressed the confusion raging inside him. "Who exactly are Camelia and Calvin, the two people you keep talking about? Please tell us the truth."Anna, standing beside Malveno, gave a small nod. Her intertwined fingers felt ice-cold."Yes, children. Tell us... if you truly believe we are your parents, then what exactly happened ten years ago?"Aurora wiped away the remaining tears on her cheeks before taking a deep bre

The silence inside the master bedroom of the wooden villa gradually gave way to a profound warmth. Anna looked at Malveno without the slightest trace of hesitation left in her eyes. Her gentle nod became the green light that shattered the last of the defenses within him.With calm movements filled with the weight of long-suppressed longing, Malveno wrapped an arm around Anna's waist before gently lowering her graceful body onto the carved wooden bed in the corner of the room. He followed above her, supporting his own weight so that he would not press down on her completely.Their eyes locked for a brief moment before Malveno lowered his head, placing warm, lingering kisses along her jawline before trailing them down the length of Anna's slender neck. Each time his warm lips brushed against her skin, Anna's breathing grew increasingly uneven. Her slender fingers clutched the fabric of Malveno's shirt at his shoulder, surrendering all the emotions she could never put into words.Meanwhi

The atmosphere in the hallway of Manhattan Presbyterian Hospital, which had been silent just moments ago, was suddenly shattered by an uncontrollable outburst of rage. Revaline, who had still been weak in Daven's support, abruptly straightened her body. Her eyes, swollen from crying, instantly burned with overwhelming hatred as they locked onto Aurora, who stood frozen with her head lowered beside Anna.Before anyone could even notice her movement, Revaline strode forward with ragged breaths.Slap!The sharp sound of the slap echoed throughout the cold hallway. Aurora's head snapped to the side from the force of Revaline's palm. Her left cheek instantly turned red, leaving a burning sting across her smooth skin."Revaline!" Daven shouted in shock as he immediately stepped forward and positioned himself in front of Aurora."It's all because of you!" Revaline screamed hysterically, pointing her finger directly at Aurora's face, her entire body trembling violently from the flood of emoti
