Lahat ng Kabanata ng I Let Him Go to Save His Sweetheart: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

The next day, Derek came home and handed me three copies of the divorce papers. He had already signed them.I stared at them for a long time. When he started to look impatient, I calmly took the papers and signed each one.After a long silence, Derek sighed. For once, he actually explained himself. "This is only a temporary divorce. I'm not going to abandon you."I was going to visit Susan after the party last night, but Nina had another depressive episode. I'm only doing this to cheer her up. Once she's doing better, you and I will get remarried."Blythe, I hope you won't go to Nina and make a scene. She developed depression because I married you, and I can't just turn my back on her."I looked at Derek's handsome face. There were dark circles under his eyes.He had probably stayed up all night with Nina again.My eyes fell on the divorce papers on the table. Our names were written in black and white, sitting close together on the page. The scent of fresh ink was still linger

Derek stopped speaking to me altogether. He seemed to think that I would do what I always did. He expected me to swallow my pride, try to appease him, and put the painting in his hands, begging him to take it.Instead, I calmly moved my things out and checked into a hotel.I booked two plane tickets to Fioren.Once our divorce was finalized, I planned to take Mom to Fioren.Then a call from the hospital shattered my hopes.When I got to the hospital, Mom was curled up in a corner, shivering in a thin hospital gown. Two large bodyguards stood beside her, watching her without a hint of concern.I rushed over, took off my coat, and draped it around her shoulders. Then, I helped her to her feet.When Mom saw me, tears filled her eyes, but she still forced a weak smile. "I'm okay. Don't worry.I saw how pale her lips were, and anger surged through me. I turned to the bodyguard beside her and demanded, "How dare you treat Mom like this! Was it…"But when I saw how sickly Mom looke

It took most of the night, but I finally got Mom settled.I asked the nurse where the kind man who had paid for everything was. She smiled gently and said, "He said he had something to take care of. He'll be here later."When I saw how peacefully Mom slept, I finally let out a sigh of relief.The exhaustion hit me all at once, and I realized how hungry I was.After I finished a sandwich, I returned to the private room and opened the door. A tall figure was sitting inside.He sat beside Mom's bed, gently tucking the blanket around her.At the sound of the door, he turned around. His handsome face looked a little tired."Heath?" I blurted. "What are you doing back in the country?"Heath Lindon was the son of one of Dad's old friends. He was also my senior.After I got together with Derek, I gave up the chance to study abroad for him.Heath was furious with me. We had a huge fight over it and never spoke again. He didn't reach out to me, and I was too ashamed to contact him or o

After the chaos finally ended, I lay in my hospital bed. I absentmindedly touched my stomach.There had been a baby growing inside me.And before I even knew it, the baby was gone.Maybe it was for the best. With a dad who didn't love them and a mom who was already exhausted, perhaps it was better that they were never born.Derek called me. "Blythe, what the hell are you saying now? It's all over the news! What do you want? Are you trying to drive Nina to her death?"I cut him off.Only then did I realize how hoarse my voice had become. "Mom's gone."There was silence on the other end.I continued, "She took her life in an abandoned warehouse. Mom overdosed on sleeping pills. She's been saving them for a long time."She already knew about you and Nina, and she had seen all the scandal about you two."Derek, she told me not to hate you. But I don't want to listen to her. I've been a handful since I was a kid, and this time, I am going against her words once more."There was s
