Her Heart’s Not Yours Anymore Chapter 30
After taking a shower, Kylie lay in bed, tossing and turning.So much had happened today, and her mind felt blank. She kept turning things over in her head, but she had no idea what to do next, especially when it came to Jonathan.The thought of facing him tomorrow at work, pretending like nothing had happened, made her anxious. She didn't know how to act around him now.After a long pause, Kylie finally decided to send Jonathan a text, [Mr. Sinclair, I'm still feeling unwell. I'll be taking the day off tomorrow.]To her surprise, Jonathan responded quickly with a simple word, [Okay.]A wave of relief washed over Kylie. At least now she wouldn't have to face him right away. Though she knew it wouldn't last—eventually, they would have to confront everything—it was enough for now. For the moment, she just wanted to bury her head in the sand like an ostrich.She snuggled deep into her blankets and closed her eyes, letting the darkness pull her into a quiet sleep.It wasn't until

Nathan couldn't bear to see Kylie like this. He stepped closer and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, I'll think of something." Then, he pulled out his phone and began making calls.At that moment, one person came to Kylie's mind—Jonathan!He could help her. With one phone call, Jonathan could fix everything. But would he? Would he go against Zoey for her? Kylie wasn't sure.Jonathan didn't love her, and his feelings for her were nothing more than control and possession. If he truly cared, how could he not know about her brother after three years together?He had only asked if her family was in Jorundale when they first met. But after she told him about the accident, he didn't press further, and Kylie had been careful not to bring it up again. He wasn't concerned with her family. He was only concerned with whether there were other men in her life.Nathan returned to the room, his expression slightly more hopeful."My senior works at Lindale Central Hospital. We can transfer h

The car slowly came to a stop at the foot of Kylie's apartment building. Nathan said softly, "Kylie, we're here."Kylie slowly opened her eyes. When she saw the familiar street scene outside, she rubbed her head and said apologetically, "Sorry, I ended up falling asleep while we were chatting..."Nathan just smiled, his voice warm. "It's fine."Just as Kylie reached out to open the car door and get out, Nathan called her back."Kylie, do you know why I gave you the lowest score back then?"Kylie was surprised. She turned to face him and asked, "Why?"A faint blush crept up Nathan's face. "I wanted to get your attention."She froze, caught off guard. For a second, she didn't know how to respond. Then, quickly regaining her composure, she said, "It's late. I should go."Nathan didn't push it. He simply smiled and nodded. "Goodnight, Kylie."She got out of the car and turned back to wave at him through the window. Only when Nathan's car disappeared down the street did she head

Jonathan's meeting stretched until noon.When Kylie saw the time, she began arranging his lunch. As the lunch hour approached, Jonathan strode back into the office."Mr. Sinclair, you're back—"Kylie stood up to greet him, but he didn't even spare her a glance and headed straight inside his office.She promptly shut her mouth.Trailing behind him, Michael reminded, "Mr. Sinclair, the evaluation firm will send over the analysis report in 30 minutes."Jonathan pinched the bridge of his nose, nodding slightly. He looked exhausted.Kylie hesitated before carefully saying, "Mr. Sinclair, your lunch is ready."Jonathan glanced at the meal on his desk but made no move to touch it. Instead, he simply continued flipping through documents, completely ignoring her.His cold attitude today was obvious.What was with this guy? Was he seriously mad just because she hadn't answered his call last night? But she had called back—he was the one who didn't pick up.The more she thought about it

Zoey's voice dripped with disdain, and Kylie could feel the contempt in her words. She had no interest in playing along, so she got straight to the point."Yes, I was with Mr. Sinclair before. But at the time, I had no idea he was engaged. And for the record, we've already broken up, so you can stop worrying. If you're talking about the cocktail party, then yes—I was drugged that night. Maybe Mr. Sinclair helped me out of old sentiments, but that was nothing more than an accident. Since you're his fiancee, I'd imagine you'd have more faith in him."Her bluntness only fueled Zoey's rage. She clenched her teeth and hissed, "You shameless little—! You seduced Jon, and now you dare to act all self-righteous? Looks like you don't know what's good for you!"Kylie met her glare without flinching. "Ms. Whitfield, I'm not quitting. I'll keep working here unless Mr. Sinclair himself fires me."Kylie didn't know where she found the nerve, but at that moment, she refused to back down.Zoey

The next day, Kylie arrived at the office.However, Jonathan wasn't there, and neither was Michael.She felt that Jonathan had been ignoring her these past few days and had no idea what she might have done to upset him again.Kylie didn't dare to message Jonathan directly, so she sent a message to Michael instead.The response she got was that Jonathan and Michael were on a business trip in Dewford and wouldn't be back for a couple of days.Kylie thought to herself that she was practically a useless executive assistant, not even knowing her boss's schedule.She quietly set the phone down with a sense of unease that she couldn't quite shake.Just then, the office door opened, and Kylie looked up to see Zoey walking in.It was obvious that Zoey knew Jonathan wasn't around and was there to stir up trouble.Without a word, Zoey flopped onto the couch and then ordered Kylie to make her coffee. Kylie didn't move. Instead, she asked flatly, "Are you here to warn me again, Ms. Whitf

Kylie felt utterly helpless when her phone rang. It was Nathan.She answered the call, and Nathan hesitated before speaking."Hey, Kylie, there's something I need to tell you."Her heart skipped a beat. Could he have received the same video?"Did you get a video too?" Kylie asked, her voice laced with concern."What video?" Nathan sounded confused."Oh, never mind. What did you want to tell me?""Do you have time tonight? I think it's better to tell you in person.""Is it something important?""Yeah, it's kind of important. I'd rather tell you face to face.""Alright then."So, Kylie agreed to meet Nathan at a restaurant near the hospital later that evening. Nathan arrived early, while Kylie was delayed by traffic.When she finally walked in, she was immediately curious about what he had to say."What's going on?" Kylie asked, eager to find out."Nathan, I'm going to join the Global Care Initiative, at least for the next six months.""Really?!" Kylie's eyes widened in su

Michael responded quickly and contacted Kylie right away.When Kylie received his call, she had just left the hospital in Lindale."Thank you, Mr. Lester. I'll explain things to Mr. Sinclair in person when I get back," she said, glancing up at the blinding sun before hanging up.When Kylie returned to the office, Jonathan had just finished a meeting. He looked slightly exhausted.Upon seeing Kylie, his expression remained as cold as ever.Kylie walked up to him and handed over the newly printed resignation letter."Mr. Sinclair, I hope you'll approve it," she said quietly.Jonathan glanced at the letter, his face darkening."What exactly do you want?" he asked, his tone sharp.Kylie was taken aback, confused."Mr. Sinclair, I'm resigning for personal reasons," she explained."I don't approve.""I'd like to know why," Kylie replied.Jonathan let out a cold laugh, his eyes intense."Kylie, tell me the real reason."Kylie hesitated, unable to find the right words at first.

Two years later, Kylie was in Altheria.The miracle that was supposed to happen, like in novels, didn’t. Kevin hadn’t woken up, but there was progress. His brainwaves were beginning to show signs of activity, and his fingers moved more frequently now. All of these small changes meant there was still hope.Two years ago, Kylie had applied for the international student program at Altheria University, and she was now juggling both work and school.Nathan’s medical aid work had temporarily come to a pause. He had applied to Altheria to continue his studies as well.-Kylie and Nathan walked side by side through the small hospital garden. The sun shone brightly, and the breeze was gentle.“When are you leaving?” Kylie asked, breaking the peaceful silence.“I’m heading back the day after tomorrow,” Nathan replied.“That soon?” Kylie was surprised. She thought he would stay at least a month.Nathan laughed and shook his head. “It’s a short-term program. Time goes by fast.”“Don’t

There was silence on the other end of the line for a long while. Jonathan's voice broke the quiet. "If there's nothing else, don't call again."He hung up and turned the phone off, his expression neutral as he squeezed Kylie's hand. But there were tears in his eyes, tears he could no longer hide.Perhaps it was exhaustion that overcame him. Holding Kylie's hand, Jonathan laid his head down beside her bed and fell into a heavy sleep.Suddenly, he felt a slight movement from Kylie's hand. He shot awake in an instant.Kylie's eyelids fluttered, her brows knitted tightly together. It was as if she were struggling with something in her dreams.When Kylie finally woke up, she felt a heavy weight all over her body, unable to move. She looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings, unable to remember what had happened."Kylie… Kylie!" Jonathan's voice was filled with emotion.Kylie blinked, confusion clouding her mind. The man before her looked both familiar and strange. She felt she h

Jonathan raised an eyebrow and coldly said, "Kill me? First, you'll have to make it out of here alive."Silas pulled a knife from behind him and handed it to Jonathan. Jonathan took the blade, his gaze dark and unwavering."Jonathan, you're crazy! You've gone mad! You can't do this!" Zoey screamed, her voice trembling.Jonathan walked toward her, his steps slow and deliberate. He stood before her and asked, "Tell me, if you die here, will your family even know?"His eyes were unyielding, and Zoey felt a chill run down her spine. She recoiled, fear seizing her. "N-No... Jonathan, you can't kill me. I saved your life once. You owe me! You can't do this!"Jonathan paused for a brief moment. His mind flashed back to his childhood, when he had been vacationing by the seaside with his parents and nearly drowned. Zoey's family had been there too. Zoey had noticed something was wrong and alerted the adults, ultimately saving him.Jonathan let out a bitter laugh, his expression turning ev

In the upscale beauty salon in the city center, Zoey had just finished a relaxing spa treatment and was feeling refreshed.As she walked toward the parking garage to get her car, she was suddenly yanked from behind. Before she could react, a hand covered her mouth to muffle her startled scream.She was dragged into a car and taken to a dark, damp room. With a harsh shove, she was thrown onto the floor.Zoey's voice trembled with fear as she shouted, "Do you know who I am? Are you trying to get yourselves killed?"A group of burly men stood idly in the room, their arms crossed. At the sound of her shouting, the leader of the group, Silas Yates, impatiently waved his hand and said, "Shut up, you stupid woman."The man's eyes raked over Zoey, a lecherous grin spreading across his face. Zoey immediately realized his intentions. She scrambled to the corner, her voice rising in panic. "What do you want with me? Are you looking to die?"Silas chuckled darkly, taking a slow step toward

The man in the suit kept glancing at Kylie through the rearview mirror.Kylie felt something was wrong. She reached for the door handle, but it was locked tight.The man licked his lips and said, "Thinking of jumping out? Don't bother. You're gonna have some fun with me and my friends first. I'll make sure you'll enjoy it."His phone rang, and he answered it, speaking to the person on the other end. "We'll be there soon. She's well-endowed and has fair skin—the guys will have a blast."Fear shot through Kylie, but she forced herself to stay calm.She waited for the right moment, and when the man wasn't paying attention, she swung her bag at his head with all her strength.The man didn't see it coming. With a sudden jolt, the car swerved off course. The tires screeched, and the car crashed down the mountain road in a blur of screeching metal.Kylie's world went black.When she woke up, her head throbbed painfully, and a loud ringing filled her ears. The man in the suit was groan

The next morning, Kylie was jolted awake by Nathan's international call."Kylie! The people from the Altheria medical funding program have responded. The application has been approved!" Nathan's voice was brimming with excitement.Kylie understood immediately. This was Jonathan fulfilling his promise. She forced a smile and replied, "Really? That's amazing!""The Global Care Initiative has been postponed, so I might not be able to come back. But they've asked me to go to Altheria next week for an international exchange program. I'll be there for two weeks, and I can help with your brother's treatment while I'm there. It's such perfect timing. Everything is falling into place."Nathan was practically glowing with joy, but Kylie's heart suddenly tightened.She knew better. None of this was a coincidence. This was Jonathan's careful planning.Nathan went on to explain a series of steps and procedures, and Kylie listened in silence, her mind elsewhere.After hanging up, Kylie sa
