Chapter 421

Kelsey's POV

The hand looked fair, but the palm was anything but pretty, showing signs of wear and tear that were hard to miss.

People said that a woman's hands were like her second face.

From this hand, I could tell that Derek didn't care that much about her. Those calluses indicated that she must've done her fair share of hard work.

I extended my hand to her. Being pampered since childhood, I treated myself to full-body care every week. So my hands looked stunning.

  Tabitha's POVThe atmosphere was a bit awkward. Kelsey took a deep breath and shot back, "You said you'd marry me, but all of a sudden, you married someone else. When did that even happen? Why didn't you tell me about it?"Her words left me bewildered. I turned my head to Derek, wanting an explanation.The tension in the air was almost palpable.Derek's gaze turned icy as he shot daggers at Kelsey. "Miss Arnold, we're neither friends nor relatives.

  Third person's POVAfter Derek finished speaking, he grabbed Tabitha's hand and strode off, leaving Kelsey fuming behind them.Kelsey thought to herself, 'This guy's even more clueless than he was as a kid. Like a stubborn old rock that wouldn't budge, totally unyielding.'Watching the scene of Derek and Tabitha leaving hand in hand, Kelsey was so furious that she gritted her teeth.Just then, a cold smirk crept onto her lips, making her look like a snake lurking in the shad

  Tabitha's POVThere were only Derek and me in this hallway, and I could already hear the loud music and the host's voice coming from behind that curtain.Clearly, we were at the scene of some event.I didn't quite understand why Derek had to bring me to the event in such a mysterious way.I turned my head to look at Derek and whispered, "What kind of event is this? You should have told me in advance so that I could be mentally prepared."

  Derek's POVAfter the award ceremony, I led Tabitha to our exclusive seats. As the lights dimmed, Tabitha murmured in my ear, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I had no time to prepare, and I felt like a fool on stage just now."Hearing Tabitha's complaint, I couldn't help but smile indulgently."I wanted to give you a surprise.""More like scare me. My palms are sweaty. I'll go to the restroom."

  Tabitha's POVNoticing the shift in Kelsey's expression, I calmly dried my hands with a tissue and applied hand cream with deliberate care."Miss Arnold, I'm not sure what you're trying to prove here—whether it's your childish games or the family background you take pride in. All I know is that in matters of love, the one who is unloved is the real loser. Derek doesn't love you. I'd wager he feels more affection for the old man selling coffee on the corner than he does for you."I set the hand cream down. "If I were you, I'd be too embarrassed to even show up, let alone make a scene.""Tabitha, let's wait and see who the real loser is. We will meet again soon."Kelsey retorted, though her lack of confidence was evident.Indeed, what I was proud of was not anything else, but Derek's love for me.Without Derek, I was nothing.But with him, I had the whole world.Kelsey's threats didn't really bother me. Derek loved me, so I didn't have to be afraid of any other woman.If he stopped lovi

  Tabitha's POVThe crowd buzzed with murmurs."It's surprising to see Mrs. Greenwood being overly kind. Does she think just because the cleaner is part of a disadvantaged group, he should be let off scot-free for making a mistake? So if I crashed a Rolls-Royce tomorrow and said I couldn't afford it, would that be okay?""If Mrs. Greenwood is so wealthy, why not just pay the 80 thousand for him? Why bother morally coercing a minor actress here?""Exactly. I thought she and Mr. Greenwood made a charming couple on stage, but now she doesn't seem so impressive. Our earnings as actresses aren't easy to come by. Such gowns are hard to borrow in the first place, and now that it's stained, it's ruined. Compensation is one thing, but being blacklisted for staining it is a loss that can't be undone with just words.""Don't mention paying 80 thousand. Twice that amount wouldn't be enough. Lisa is already asking for a very reasonable price."Hearing the crowd's chatter, the cleaner became increasi

  Tabitha's POVDerek quickly came to my side and wrapped me in his arms. "Are you okay?""Yeah, I'm fine. I just couldn't stand by while someone was being bullied. I just helped out a bit."After explaining, I turned to Lisa. "I can provide evidence of purchasing the dress, including photos of it hanging in my wardrobe at home. Miss Booth, what evidence do you have?"Seeing my earnestness, Lisa could only bluff, "My agent borrowed this dress for me. All the documentation is with her.""Then call your agent over and ask her which atelier she borrowed it from to clear yourself.""She has just left. How am I supposed to find her now?""So you have no evidence, and you're falsely accusing others and inflating prices. It wouldn't be too far off to call it extortion, would it?"Lisa became nervous. "Extortion? Don't make wild accusations. Come on. You have a lot of influence, and I can't afford to cross you. I guess I'm just unlucky."Lisa, of course, wouldn't dare to confront Derek directly

  Third person's POVThough he was just a child and didn't fully understand what had happened between Tabitha and Derek, he knew one thing—he loved Tabitha and wanted her to be happy."If this makes you happy, I don't mind. I'm just scared... scared you'll leave me," Kyrian said, his voice trembling slightly."Silly boy, didn't I tell you? You and your siblings are my most precious treasures. I love you so much, and I'll visit you often," Tabitha said gently.Then, she noticed the cord around Kyrian's neck and gently pulled it out. It was the small lock she'd designed for him years ago."I made this for you. It's engraved with my hopes for you, 'May you grow up happy and healthy every day.'"Kyrian reached out his hand. "Mom, you can't lie to me. You have to come see me again."Their fingers hooked together in a pinky promise, and Tabitha smiled softly."Okay, I promise. When you're a little older, we'll live together, alri

  Third person's POVIn such a short time, Kyrian had already figured out his place in Tabitha's heart. He knew exactly where her soft spots were and used his natural childlike tears as a "weapon" to try to keep her from leaving.Though this might not make Tabitha happy, she couldn't bring herself to refuse him.What parent could say no to a child crying for candy?Especially when that child was the one she owed so much to, the one she wanted to give the entire world to.But he didn't want the world. He just wanted Tabitha to stay."I..." Tabitha started to speak, but Kyrian cut her off."Mom, I love you so much, and you love me, and my siblings too. I already don't have a complete family. Do you want my siblings to grow up without a dad, only imagining what he looks like, envying other kids' happy families? Mom, haven't you heard? A happy, complete childhood can heal a person for life, but an incomplete one takes a lifetime to heal."

  Third person's POV"Back then was back then. Now is now. But I promise you, no matter what happens, I'll always love you," Tabitha said softly, gently stroking Kyrian's head. Her hand brushed through his soft fur, the warmth of a mother's love flowing through her touch.Kyrian's voice was small, tinged with hope. "Mom, can you spare a little love for Dad? He's actually kind of pitiful."His eyes showed sympathy for Derek. In his heart, both his parents were his greatest loves, and he longed for a complete family."There are plenty of people in this world who love your dad. He doesn't need mine," Tabitha replied, her tone carrying a hint of stubbornness. Despite her lingering feelings for Derek, the pain of the past made it hard for her to forgive."But to Dad, you're like oxygen to a fish. A fish can't live without oxygen," Kyrian said, snuggling closer to Tabitha.He pressed his body against hers, as if clinging to her love would make it st

  Third person's POVKyrian obediently climbed over and was immediately pulled into Tabitha's embrace.From here, they could see the beautiful scenery outside. Kyrian realized that the training grounds looked completely different from this angle—probably because his mother was by his side.Tabitha smiled softly, her voice warm. "I chose your name. You were born with all my love.""Mom, you must have loved Dad a lot back then," Kyrian said, looking up with curious eyes."Yes, very much," Tabitha admitted honestly. "No matter how I feel about your dad now, you are my precious child, born after seven months of carrying you. Your dad took you away, and I didn't even know you existed. That's why I missed so many years of your life. But you need to know, I thought about you every single day. There wasn't a moment when I didn't miss you or wonder about you. I love you more than anyone in the world."Kyrian's mood brightened, a happy smile sprea

  Third person's POVKyrian watched nervously as Tabitha cleaned and dressed his wounds.He didn't dare breathe too loudly, his eyes glued to her every move. His gaze was filled with dependence and longing.Every now and then, he'd glance quickly at Derek, his eyes questioning, desperate for reassurance that this wasn't a dream."Dad, is Mom really back?" His voice trembled, carrying the fragility and hope unique to a child.Derek reached out and gently tapped his nose. "Silly boy, she's really here."Kyrian's tense body relaxed slightly, and a shy smile crept onto his face.When Tabitha applied the ointment a little too firmly, he winced but stayed silent.His hands gripped the hem of his shirt, his knuckles turning white from the pressure. He was afraid that if he cried out in pain, Tabitha might leave.In his heart, he thought, As long as Mom stays, this pain is nothing.Kyrian had always been well-behaved, but n

  Third person's POVAzazel was furious.To be honest, he hadn't planned to take things this far with Kyrian.He showed Kyrian some respect, but deep down, he knew most of the children here were orphans with no one to rely on.He'd been provoking Kyrian because he refused to fall in line. After all this time, Kyrian still wouldn't listen to him.Azazel had wanted to teach him a lesson and assert his dominance in front of the others.But Kyrian was tougher than he'd expected. Instead of backing down, he even fought back with a fierce determination that burned in his eyes.What's wrong with him? Why won't he give up?"You're dead, brat," Azazel snarled, raising his fist to deliver a crushing blow to Kyrian's head."Stop!"Kyrian closed his eyes, bracing for the impact his small body couldn't possibly withstand. But the blow never came.A hand shot out, gripping Azazel's wrist.Everyone turned to see Tabitha, breathless from running.Thankfully, she'd made it in time.What she didn't know

  Third person's POVKyrian had barely taken a few bites when a tall boy walked over and flipped his tray onto the floor, sneering, "Go on, eat that."Tabitha's fists clenched in anger. "How can they bully him like this? He's already struggling!"Derek held her back. "Tabitha, don't act rashly. This place isn't just about physical training for him."Tabitha frowned. "Then what else is he here for?"Derek explained, "For people like us, growing up means training alongside peers who'll become your most trusted allies—like Alvin and Rolf. These are the people who'd take a bullet for you on the battlefield. If Kyrian grows up sheltered, handed a team of strangers, do you think they'd truly respect or protect him? One wrong move, and he could end up dead."Tabitha's anger began to fade. "What are you saying?"Derek's tone grew serious. "He's not just training his body. He's learning to lead, to earn the loyalty of these kids. They'll b

  Third person's POVThe car slowly emerged from the underground garage, breaking through the darkness into the open air.The streets were adorned with mistletoe trees, people bustling about in preparation for Christmas."It's been years since we celebrated together," Derek said suddenly, his voice tinged with nostalgia."Yeah." In those days when survival was all that mattered, Tabitha hadn't had the luxury of thinking about holidays."It's the last day of the year. Where are you taking me?" Tabitha glanced at Derek."You'll see."The car wound its way out of the city, into the countryside. Snowflakes danced in the air, painting the world in white.The road grew steeper, the landscape wilder. Soon, there were no buildings in sight—just endless trees and snow.Tabitha gripped the armrest as the car jolted over uneven terrain. After what felt like hours, they reached a remote valley deep in the mountains. Even their p

  Third person's POVTabitha had been his most promising student. As a freshman, she'd become his assistant, shadowing him in clinics and even observing surgeries.He had placed his highest hopes in her, demanding perfection during her training.To him, Tabitha was a once-in-a-generation talent—he was merely her starting point, not her ceiling.Dr. Fairbanks had been both a mentor and father figure to her. And she had let him down."Is Dr. Fairbanks… doing alright?" Tabitha asked quietly.Alban's voice turned cold. "No. He says he once had a student who made him proud—until she threw away her future for a man."Tears welled up in Tabitha's eyes.She still remembered the day she submitted her withdrawal letter. Dr. Fairbanks rushed to the school, still wearing his surgical scrubs with a scalpel clutched in his hand.At first, he thought something catastrophic had happened—had her family gone bankrup
