After Eight Years, She Left Me at the Altar for Her First Love のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 401 - チャプター 410

“Not so fast. I’m not done with you yet.”Xena narrowed her eyes and looked Blake over.“I told you again and again to keep an eye on Fiona and make sure she stayed away from Lucas. So how did the two of them end up involved again?”When Xena turned serious, she could be intimidating.Ever since Fiona became ill, Xena had taken over part of Shaw Corporation’s business, and she had gradually developed the confidence and authority that came with being in charge.Sweat broke out on Blake’s forehead.He forced himself to stay calm.“Ms. Shaw, there wasn’t much I could do. Lucas left too deep an impression on Fiona before she lost her memory.“Even now, some part of her still seems drawn to him. I’ve tried to keep them apart, but there’s only so much I can do.”Xena cut him off sharply.“Blake, I don’t want excuses.“If you can do the job, then do it. If you can’t, get out.”Her gaze turned cold.“The only reason I’ve tolerated you staying by Fiona’s side is because you look a

After Serena reassured him, Miles finally lowered the blanket.His face was wet with tears as he looked at her helplessly.“Serena, do you really mean that? If you leave me too, I’ll have no one.”Serena sighed and gently ruffled his hair.Truthfully, she had no idea whether Gina would forgive them.But Miles was already emotionally fragile. She didn’t want to make things worse by giving him even more to worry about.So she nodded.“I mean it. No matter what happens, I’m not leaving you. We’re family. Whatever happens, we’ll deal with it together.”“I knew it. You’ve always been the one who treated me best!”Miles finally smiled through his tears and suddenly leaned forward to hug her.Serena stiffened, her cheeks warming.They hadn’t been this physically close in years. Miles had stopped clinging to her the way he did as a child a long time ago.She couldn’t even remember the last time he had hugged her like this.For some reason, her heartbeat began to pick up.Then Mil

“You and everyone else were here with Grandma. Me not being here wouldn’t have changed anything.“And she’s had heart problems for years. As long as she takes her medication and gets proper treatment, it’s not supposed to be life-threatening.”“Not life-threatening?”Lucas stared at her in disbelief.“Serena, it’s easy for you to say that when you weren’t here.“Do you have any idea how many times the doctors told us over the past few days that she might not make it?“If the Quinn family hadn’t found that medical team overseas in time and gotten her condition under control, do you really think you’d be standing here saying this right now?”A few days ago, when Lucas had been desperate for help and running out of options, he had already prepared himself for the worst.If Gina had died, he would never have forgiven Serena or Miles.He would have dragged both of them to Gina’s grave and made them kneel there all night begging for forgiveness.Thankfully, it had never come to tha

“My sister?”Lucas raised an eyebrow and gave a quiet scoff.“I really did think of you as my sister once. But did you ever think of me as your brother?“You were just calling me an outsider a minute ago and telling me to stay out of your business. Now you suddenly want me to step in and help you?”Serena’s face flushed with humiliation and anger.She and Lucas had never exactly gotten along, but he had never spoken to her this harshly before.Today, every word out of his mouth seemed designed to cut her down, without the slightest concern for her feelings.The young man who had once treated her like a beloved older sister seemed to be gone for good.For the first time, Serena felt genuinely lost.How had things between them gotten this bad?How had they gone from family to barely being able to stand the sight of each other?“What are you doing? Let Ms. Owen go!”A stern male voice snapped Serena back to reality.Her eyes lit up at the familiar voice.“Mr. Fuller?”Mr. F

Otherwise, Mr. Fuller would have stopped caring about her a long time ago.“How did things get like this?”Serena murmured to herself, stumbling back a step as if the realization had hit her all at once.She had never imagined that simply choosing Miles’s side could create so many problems for the Owen family.But the more she thought about it, the more she realized Mr. Fuller wasn’t wrong.So much had happened to the family in just a few days, and she had barely paid attention to any of it.All this time, she had stayed by Miles’s side.Her thoughts had been completely consumed by her poor, injured brother.But wasn’t Ethan a victim too?His plane had gone down, and no one even knew whether he was alive.Wasn’t Gina suffering too, lying unconscious after a serious heart attack?Even Lucas, the person Serena had been fighting against this entire time, suddenly seemed a little pitiful.How had she failed to see any of that?Somewhere along the way, Miles had taken up nearly
