Monica watched Terry's agony with a cold gaze. This man, who had turned her into a laughingstock and led the Hart family to its downfall, was now in such pain.Yet, she felt no joy.Instead, there was a sense of loss.This man was enduring inhuman suffering all because of Lisa! The Blood Parasite targeted only Lisa. He could have chosen any other woman in the world and avoided the pain of removing the curse. Yet, he was willing to risk death for Lisa!And what about her? After all these years, she had gained nothing!What was so special about Lisa that Terry would go to such lengths? That woman seemed so ordinary. She never had to make any sacrifices, right?!"Terry, is it really worth enduring such agony for Lisa? She doesn't even know the pain you're going through!" Monica crouched down in front of him and said, "If you don't survive tonight, you'll die. Even then, she might not shed a single tear for you. In her heart, you're just the traitor who abandoned her."It seem
Lisa consoled herself internally, but the tears she had suppressed all night finally betrayed her and streamed down her cheeks.Could she really walk away from feelings that she hadn't fully let go of in the past?If that were possible, why was she in such agony now? Why couldn't she stop the tears?What was this pain in her chest?"Lisa, if I tell you I've only ever loved you, would you believe me?""Lisa, just give me a little time. That's all I need.""Lisa, how are you going to take responsibility for me?""Lisa... Lisa..."His voice, his words from the past, kept echoing in her ears. Yet, they felt so distant to her now...Finally, Lisa started the car. She turned it around and drove away from the villa.-Lisa knew she had to head to the office. It wasn't a day off, and she needed to work.She tried hard to compose herself, to stop the tears. If she continued, her blurred vision would prevent her from seeing the road ahead.Just then, a scooter suddenly darted in f
Lisa closed her eyes with a bitter feeling.Perhaps it was fate that she encountered this accident now, allowing the child to leave her through this ordeal. Maybe this was the best ending... to let the child go and sever any ties between her and Terry!The car quickly arrived at the hospital. Gale carried Lisa swiftly into the emergency room. He briefly explained the situation in the simplest terms and emphasized, "She's pregnant! Please, do everything possible to save the child!"Lisa was placed on a gurney and rushed into the emergency room for urgent treatment. Gale sat anxiously on a bench outside.If Lisa hadn't asked him not to inform her parents before going in, he probably would have already called Austin and Hersha. But Lisa hadn't mentioned Terry. Should he contact Terry?Gale was indecisive. Informing Terry could mean access to better medical resources, given Terry's capabilities. It would ensure Lisa got better treatment if necessary.While he was pondering, h
The doctor had mistakenly assumed Gale was the father of the child Lisa was carrying.Before Gale could clarify, Lisa said, "He's not the child's father, so I can make the decision myself. Doctor, please arrange for the abortion."Hearing Lisa's firm stance, the doctor began to respond, "Alright then, I...""I am the child's father. What if I don't agree to the procedure?" A voice interrupted the doctor.With those words, a tall figure appeared in the doorway.Lisa stared in disbelief as Terry approached her. He was dressed in a simple white shirt and black trousers. His hair was slightly disheveled, and his shirt collar was crooked. His appearance indicated that he had been in a rush to come here.Terry looked at Lisa lying on the hospital bed. He had intended to contact her that morning to share that they could finally be together and to reveal everything about the past!Yet, he hadn't expected to hear from Gale about her accident and then arrive to find her requesting an abor
"But... ""It's okay, Gale. Let me have a word with him. I'd like to make some things clear to him," Lisa interjected.Hearing that, Gale finally walked away. However, before leaving, he couldn't help but tell Terry, "Mr. White, Lisa hasn't fully recovered yet. If you have anything to say to her, please be civilized. Don't grab her."Terry completely ignored Gale. His eyes never left Lisa.Letting out a sigh, Gale eventually left the hospital room.Now, only Lisa and Terry remained in the room."Are you really getting an abortion? You're so desperate to cut ties with me?" his cold voice filled the room."Yes," she took a deep breath and replied firmly."You won't even give me a chance now because I broke up with you in the past when you were severely injured?" he questioned."Since we already broke up, why should we get back together? The baby will only become a burden," she stated.A pang of pain flickered in his eyes. She had no idea how much he looked forward to the baby.
She reminisced about the playful conversations they used to have, teasing each other about the future. "Terry, do you think we'll still be kissing like this when we're old and gray? Would we ever get tired of kissing?" she asked. He replied with tenderness, "We'll never get tired of kissing. Even when we're old, I'll still keep kissing you. I'll continue to kiss you until the moment we close our eyes and leave this world."But... that would never happen now. It was already impossible five years ago, and it was certainly impossible now.Lisa didn't resist or push him away. She allowed Terry to deepen the kiss.To her, it felt like a goodbye kiss. She was bidding their relationship goodbye.When the kiss eventually ended, Lisa heard Terry's hoarse voice pleading with her, "Lisa, you still love me, don't you? Do you have any idea how badly I've wanted to kiss you like that?"After five long years, he could finally touch her again without experiencing extreme pain."Lisa, listen to
He faltered, leaning against the edge of her bed for support. It seemed as though he lacked the strength to stand on his own."Am I that unworthy of your trust?" he asked weakly, his eyes filled with profound pain.The pain looked so intense that it tugged at Lisa's heart, despite her decision to sever all ties with him. She couldn't help but feel for him.But she reminded herself that it’s all a lie. Even if he had some lingering feelings for her, she's had enough. It's over between them. She's tired of being tricked by him again and again."I'll never believe a single word you say again," she heard herself say."Are you sure?" His eyelashes trembled, and his cold fingertip brushed against her lips. "Are you sure you'll never regret getting an abortion and cutting all ties with me?"She felt her lips grow cold, as if his touch froze her blood. "I'll never regret it."No, she would never regret it. She already made up her mind when she was in the emergency room.And the baby, a
Upon receiving a call from their daughter, Lisa's parents rushed to the hospital. They found Lisa lying in bed with an IV drip attached to her hand."What happened? Why are you in the hospital? Is there a problem with the baby?" Lisa's mother asked anxiously.After all, the hospital Lisa was currently in was the top maternity hospital in the city that had many renowned experts in the field."I need to stay in the hospital for a few days. I got into a car accident this morning, and the baby's condition isn't looking too good," Lisa explained."A car accident?" Lisa's parents were shocked. "You had a car accident this morning, and you're only telling us now?!" It's already 4 PM.Lisa's parents immediately asked how serious her injury was. They were relieved upon learning that she only got some bruises from hitting the roadside greenery."What about the baby?" Lisa's mother asked."It's not doing too good. The fetal heart rate is weak, and there's a risk of miscarriage at any momen
