The alarms in Juliet's head started going off. "Where are we going?""Abroad," The leader muttered indifferently."What?" Juliet widened her eyes as her heart quickened.She finally understood what Henry meant. So, he wanted to send her abroad.She didn't expect Henry to be this ruthless toward her. Was this how much he hated her?Back then, Henry had even pleaded with her to stay when she said she was going abroad. Yet, now ... he wanted to send her away.Juliet tried to calm herself down. "Why should I listen to you? You can't decide whether I go abroad or not!""If this is what you want, then please forgive us for what we're about to do." The leader turned to the others. "Get her!""No! You can't do this! You can't! You can't force me!" Juliet struggled in panic.But her struggles seemed to be in vain."Take her away!" The leader ordered.Juliet didn't want to be sent abroad! She still had many things she wanted to do! She had to stay here!Juliet suddenly had an
Tears streamed down Owen's face. He closed his eyes for a moment before speaking, "Your grandmother had always been delicate. Before she slept, she always kept me up with lengthy conversations. "And she's a picky eater, too. Do you think she'll be fine in the afterlife?"Owen's words caused a sharp pain in Henry's heart. He looked at Owen pitifully but didn't know how to comfort him. No matter what he said, it couldn't alleviate Owen's grief.Owen loved Moira. It was a love that lasted a lifetime."I'm so useless ... I couldn't protect her, and she left like this. I don't even know if she suffered during her unconsciousness. "Moreover, we still haven't figured out what exactly happened! I ..." Owen hit himself repeatedly.Henry quickly grabbed Owen's hand. "Please stop, Grandpa! Don't … It hurts to see you like this."Although Owen stopped hitting himself, his expression didn't lighten up. "She's gone, and I didn't even bid her a proper farewell.""I'm sure she can he
"Let's grab something to eat, Henry. You probably haven't had lunch, right?" Harry handed the food brought by his men to Henry.Henry shook his head weakly. "I don't have the appetite.""You still need to eat even if you feel upset. You told Grandpa to take care of himself, but what about yourself?" Harry handed him a lunch box. "Eat!"Under Harry's persuasion, Henry reluctantly ate.After the meal, Henry sat silently in a corner. There were many things he wanted to do for his grandmother. However, over the years, he had been busy with work and always felt that it could wait.But now ...Fate did not give him the opportunity. He thought he would have time, but fate had other plans.After a while, Cliff also arrived. But he wasn't alone."Dad, who is this?" Harry gave a puzzled look to the person his father brought.Normally, only relatives or friends would come to give their condolences. But Harry had no memories of this person.Cliff glanced at the woman beside him and i
"Not yet, Mr. Chase ..." the leader trailed off.Henry's brows furrowed tightly. The longer this dragged on, the higher the chances were of something going wrong.As he drove, he surveyed his surroundings, desperately hoping to catch a glimpse of that familiar figure.However, time ticked by, and there was still no sign of her.Suddenly, large rocks fell from the top of the mountain.The people in the vehicles behind Henry saw this. They quickly rolled down their windows and shouted at Henry's car, "Mr. Chase! Look out! It's rockfalls!"However, Henry couldn't hear them through the heavy rain combined with the crash of falling rocks. By the time he realized it, it was already too late. The rocks smashed his car window.The glass shattered."Mr. Chase!"Three hours later, Henry woke up in the hospital.His forehead was heavily bandaged, and there were faint traces of blood on it.The wound on his forehead was caused by both the shattered window glass and by hitting the st
"Get out!" Henry didn't want to hear anything related to Natalie anymore.Not a single thing!A triumphant smile appeared on Juliet's face.Not only Natalie but Leslie was also there with Sheldon. However, Juliet deliberately picked the photos of Natalie and Sheldon together. As long as she achieved her goals, who cared if she played a few dirty tricks?"I'll be leaving now, Henry. Take care of yourself. My condolences for your grandmother ..." With that, Juliet was about to leave when Henry stopped her. "Wait!"Juliet paused and turned to him expectedly. "Henry ..."Henry gave her a cold glare and warned, "I'll let this go for now. But it won't end as easily the next time!"This was a wake-up cold to Juliet, and her heart dropped. Did Henry have to be so cruel to her?But Juliet didn't dare to make a scene. She nodded and turned to leave.Henry was then discharged. Why would he stay here? He had to rush back to the funeral home to mourn his grandmother.Just as Juliet
The screen lit up, and Natalie's heart began to race.Not long after, she received a bunch of missed call notifications.Missed calls. Why were so many people calling her?Natalie quickly clicked open the messages and read through them.Surprisingly, the person who called the most was Henry, followed by her father. They had both called her multiple times. The bad feeling she was feeling earlier returned.Natalie decided to return her father's call first. She held her breath as she waited for the call to connect. When her father answered, Natalie anxiously started talking, but her father cut her off, "Natalie, where have you been? Why are you only calling back now?"Her father sounded nervous. Natalie's heart tightened, and she quickly asked, "Dad, what happened? Is something wrong?"Daniel sighed. "Henry's grandmother ... she's gone."Natalie was shocked beyond words. Her hands trembled, and she almost dropped her phone. How could this be? So, Henry's grandmother … passed a
"How am I supposed to trust you? Do you not find it laughable when you say it out loud?" Henry's heated gaze bored into Natalie's.He would never believe Natalie again. Every time he trusted her, he would be left with disappointment in the end!Natalie slowly withdrew her gaze. Although the corners of her mouth turned upwards, a hint of pain flickered in her eyes.Henry could never give her the trust that she yearned for."Grandma passed away! I tried calling you, but you were with Sheldon! Is your time with him so precious that you must turn off your phone? "Do you like spending that much alone time with him?" Henry ditched out question after question.Henry had never been as furious as he was now. He called Natalie to share the news because he considered her a part of the family. And he wanted to hear her voice, even hoping she would come to accompany him.But when he needed her the most, she was with another man! How could he not be angry?He felt like his heart had been
Back inside the building, Henry took out his phone and cut off the call.Natalie furrowed her brows when the call ended. She resorted to sending him messages. Her fingers flew across the keyboard, sending one message after another."Henry, let me in to see Grandma.""Just a single glance!""I'm begging you! Won't you let me in? Please don't punish me with this. Please!""I want to see Grandma one last time! I'm begging you!"She looked up after each message. Yet, she was only met with Henry's cruel indifference.Harry noticed Natalie and could tell that something was off between the two.He approached Henry. "What are you doing? Why won't you let Natalie in?""Harry, this is between the two of us. Please don't ask about it." Henry didn't want to elaborate.Harry gave Natalie, who was forced to stay outside, a look of pity. "Just let her in. Don't let this escalate. It might affect the child."Henry did not back down at this.He coldly hissed, "I'm being merciful for even
