All Chapters of He Named Our Child After Her: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The second time they met, Sylvia Carter heard that Jason Porter never drank and disliked noisy places.She deliberately chose a bar as their meeting spot. She danced and partied wildly right in front of him. She even picked up a glass of strong whiskey and pressed it against his lips.She expected him to frown in displeasure. Instead, he drank it all in one go before coughing lightly from the burn. His lips didn't look so pale anymore.Jason retrieved a white handkerchief and calmly wiped the sweat from her forehead.Sylvia caught the cedar scent lingering on the handkerchief. It perfectly complemented the cool, woody cedar fragrance that he had.The third time they met was at a banquet.Sylvia's nemesis sneered sarcastically. "Sylvia is an infamous player. Who knows how many men she's slept with? She might even have some disease!"Mr. Porter marrying her must be the worst luck imaginable."Before Sylvia could react, Jason, who was seated at the head of the table, asked calmly,

Sylvia didn't have time to react. As they fell down the stairs, Naomi used her as a shield.Sylvia's back, waist, and abdomen slammed violently against the hard steps. When she finally hit the bottom, a searing pain tore through her body."Call an ambulance!"Jason's strained voice echoed loudly in Sylvia's ear.Sylvia struggled to open her eyes. She saw Jason sprinting in her direction, but she wasn't his target.He ran right past her and rushed toward Naomi, who had suffered only a few minor scrapes. Meanwhile, Sylvia was bleeding profusely.Jason asked Naomi if she was hurt in a trembling voice. It was as if she was the most precious thing in the world.Sylvia closed her eyes again.The pain throughout her body grew worse by the second, yet it was nothing compared to the suffocating agony she felt in her heart.The paramedics arrived soon after, but Jason only called for one ambulance.He personally carried Naomi into the ambulance. The paramedics asked if anyone else was

A week later, an entertainment news story about Jason went viral.It contained screenshots from Naomi's Instagram posts over the past week.On the first day, Naomi sat beside Jason's hospital bed with tear-filled eyes. Jason smiled reassuringly at her, and his eyes overflowed with tenderness and love.On the third day, Naomi posted a photo of Jason's face as he slept. It was followed by a photo of their fingers intertwined and a caption.[You will always be the love of my life.]Finally, there was a video.It showed Naomi taking meticulous care of Jason while he was being discharged from the hospital. A crowd of reporters surrounded the entrance and bombarded Jason with questions."Mr. Porter, there are rumors that Sylvia, a vile woman, forced you to jump from the building. Is that true?"Jason said nothing. Instead, Naomi, who stood beside him, answered in a seemingly nervous voice. "Ms. Carter didn't mean to do it. Please don't blame her."On the surface, she appeared to be

A week later, Jason and Naomi's plane landed back in the city."Mr. Porter, today's schedule is packed. Mr. Wayne plans to meet you in the conference room, and tonight's dinner will be at the hotel–"Matt stood in the study while dutifully summarizing his report.Jason had been listening intently when he caught sight of a pendant. It was the gift Sylvia had planned to give their baby after it was born. His thoughts stalled for a moment before he suddenly interrupted."How are Sylvia's injuries?"Matt froze. Ever since Naomi had returned, Jason had rarely brought up Sylvia on his own.Trying to keep his personal feelings out of his answer, he said, "Ms. Carter's injuries are very serious. When the bodyguards found her, she had been abandoned in a deserted alley. The temperature was below freezing, and she was barely alive."After a pause, Matt couldn't help but add, "The doctors said she had been cut with different types of blades. The pain was like being slowly sliced apart. Eve

Jason felt as if he lost his hearing for a moment. All he could hear was a deafening buzz in his ears.Divorce certificate? What divorce certificate?How could Sylvia possibly have divorced him?Even if she wanted to, he hadn't agreed to divorce her. So how could there possibly be a divorce certificate?Jason's thoughts turned into a tangled mess. He barely managed to reach the most likely conclusion. The courier must have made a mistake."Mr. Porter? Are you listening?" The courier asked in confusion.Jason took a deep breath and forced down the overwhelming unease rising inside him. He gave the courier the address of the building and told him to deliver it there.He wanted to see it himself.The courier said he would arrive in five minutes.Jason had never thought five minutes could feel so long. It felt like a century. Every second dragged on endlessly.Jason finally realized how abnormal he was acting.He supposedly didn't care about this marriage. The person he had alwa
