Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 188
Elijah was making Liesel feel guilty on purpose, knowing that guilt would bind her closer to him with an unshakable sense of affection. He chuckled softly, but his amusement was cut short when Liesel cupped his face in her hands and kissed the corner of his mouth. The hospital room's harsh fluorescent light seemed to soften at that moment. They cast a gentle glow over them. His lips were dry and soft. As she leaned in, Liesel caught a whiff of blood mixed with antiseptic. "Liesel, the anesthesia hasn't completely worn off yet." Elijah tried to grab her hand, but he didn't have the strength to do so. With a hint of helplessness in his voice, he continued, "Maybe you should wait until tomorrow to kiss me." "Keep dreaming." Liesel pursed her lips before she suddenly rested her head on his shoulder. Her warm breath brushed against his neck, the closeness more tender than romantic. "Elijah, I was so scared. Even now, I can't stop shaking. Look." Liesel lifted her arm as if

Elijah still had the nerve to play games even in his current state.Neal glanced over at Liesel with a look of mild helplessness, as if silently telling her to control her man.Just then, Elijah's phone buzzed. It was a message from Ethan, informing him that Liesel would be auctioning off Heather's holography research materials in three days.Elijah looked up at Liesel, his tone calm and gentle. "You're going to sell your mother's research materials?"Liesel wasn't surprised Elijah knew about it. She had told Ethan herself, and Ethan, loyal as ever, would naturally pass the information on to Elijah."That research only brings misfortune. Why keep it?" she answered candidly, a smile still lingering at the corners of her lips.It was true that it had only brought misfortune. If it wasn't for the file, Elijah wouldn't have been targeted by Matthew so quickly, causing the accident that landed him in the hospital."That's different. It's a gift Ms. Mallone left for you. You should ke

Although Neal didn't quite approve of someone playful and with a slightly needy nature, if Liesel was happy, that was all that mattered. It was all just a game between young lovers, after all. Compared to Jacob, Elijah seemed like a better match for her.At least he didn't make her feel like an outsider, with her husband acting cold and distant.Elijah didn't make Liesel stay in the hospital longer than needed. After a short conversation, he urged her to leave and get some rest. Neal didn't linger either and followed Liesel out of the hospital."Are you sure he's the one?" Neal asked.Liesel was quick to answer. "Yes. For now, he is.""That's good. I think you'll be happy with him." Earlier at the hospital, despite Elijah being exhausted, he had still been trying to make Liesel laugh, lifting her spirits in the face of the car accident. It seemed like he was making an effort to show that the accident hadn't affected him at all.The reason he had urged Liesel to go back and rest

"Did Grandpa give you something?" Jacob asked.Liesel crossed her arms, a soft smile playing at the corner of her lips. "Whatever Grandpa gave me certainly doesn't belong to the Fords. I believe you'd understand that, so I hope you won't ask any further."Jacob's gaze turned icy, his voice laced with cold warning. "Whether it's yours or not, you should understand that once something passes into the old man's hands, it's not easy for anyone to take it back, even if it rightfully belongs to you."His words were both a reminder and a threat.Liesel's eyes flickered, and the smile on her lips faded. "Mr. Ford, did you come all the way here just to remind me of that?"If that's all you're here for, then let me tell you, I'll always take what belongs to me back, even if someone stole it from me."The tension between them was palpable.Liesel had changed completely. In just a short span of time, she had gone from being the gentle, accommodating Mrs. Ford to a dazzling and sharp-edged M

Liesel was willing to play along. If Elijah wanted to teeter on the edge of madness, she'd match him step for step.And as for Henry? Since he dared to take a job from Matthew, he deserved to suffer the consequences.That was why Liesel ultimately swapped out the original research materials for a forgery. Elijah wanted a show, and she'd deliver. Both of them were calculating, aware of each other's games but leaving the truth unspoken. Together, they redirected all the blame onto Matthew and Henry.If Matthew hadn't been so greedy, Elijah wouldn't have needed to pull off an elaborate ploy in the first place.Jacob's gaze darkened, his voice sharpening. "Liesel, Elijah is lying to you. You're not going to beat him at this game." Liesel raised an eyebrow. "What I see is a man who won't hurt me. As for who outplays who, I guess we'll find out." Her fingers casually toyed with a strand of hair at her shoulder. "And how do you know this isn't just... our idea of fun?"Plus, Elijah

"My one true love, the only one I've ever publicly acknowledged, is Elijah." Liesel's calm voice carried the weight of a dagger as she delivered the words to Jacob. It was true. Only the Ford family and a handful of people in their social circle knew about Liesel and Jacob's marriage. Even their wedding had been low-key, with only a few tables at the reception. Their wedding photos were taken hastily, with Jacob in one of his everyday suits. No one cared about their relationship. Jacob certainly hadn't, and since he didn't, no one else would.For three years, she was never "Mrs. Ford". To the world, she was simply Jacob's secretary. Jacob stared at her, his gaze searching for something in her expression. After a moment, his lips pressed into a thin line. "I'm sorry. That was my fault." "It was indeed your fault," Liesel replied, taking a step back. "I thought after everything that happened, you wouldn't come looking for me again." Liesel sharpened her tone as she add

Elijah dropped his act completely. His words were a blatant signal to Liesel that he had people keeping tabs on her. He wouldn't have asked if he hadn't known exactly when Jacob left. "You didn't hear from the little birds you planted around me?"Liesel didn't bother pretending anymore. Elijah chuckled, but his laughter faltered, pain evident on his face as he winced."I just want to hear you say that you've chosen me."Liesel lifted her gaze, looking out into the vast darkness of the night. The stars seem to flicker like distant glimmers of light."Yeah, I've chosen you. I've chosen you, Elijah." Elijah's laughter grew. But in the background, Liesel could hear Ethan urgently calling for medical help, shouting things like, "He's bleeding! Get the doctor!"His laughter stopped abruptly. "Lili, it hurts so much." How could it not hurt? The car had been destroyed, the gash on his forehead was huge, and he was bleeding from his chest. Anyone would be in agony from that.Liese

Elijah's actions to protect Liesel left his assistant, Ethan, still in shock. Ethan couldn't help but think that Elijah was going too far. After all, Liesel was not as innocent as she looked. "Mr. Hardin, maybe you should take a look at what Ms. Sharp did tonight," Ethan finally said, wanting Elijah to know what Liesel had done at the race track.Elijah hadn't seen the footage yet, but now he was intrigued. He wanted to know what Liesel had been up to.Ethan sent him the video, and Elijah opened it. Liesel's long hair flowed in the wind, and her barely visible side profile was still strikingly beautiful."She's pretty, isn't she?"Ethan didn't answer, but inwardly thought, "She's gorgeous, but she's also dangerous as hell."The video showed Liesel coldly manipulating a remote, forcing Henry's car into a wall with brutal precision. When Neal pulled her away, Liesel lifted her head with a smile.The crashes continued—once, twice, 23 times.By the end of the video, Elijah was dis

"You could at least do something to earn my respect," Liesel said. "You've injured your legs, and you acted like it's the end of the world. It's not like you've lost your manhood. And even if you did, we can always have a platonic relationship. Anything works when the person is right."Do you hear me, Elijah? Love between a man and a woman does involve physical attraction and intimacy, but that's not all of it. True love comes from the resonance between two souls, from the empathy and connection they share."Even as she spoke, her words circled back to the real issue. She was still angry at Elijah for giving up on himself.Elijah's voice was hoarse as he responded, "I just can't bear it, Lili. You're so wonderful. Have you ever seen the kind of twilight where the entire sky is bathed in warm orange hues, and stars begin to twinkle faintly at the horizon?"That kind of twilight feels like it bridges heaven and earth. I've been to many places in my life, but that twilight was the onl

"Elijah, do you know how upset I was?" Liesel asked.Elijah's injuries were severe. His entire body was battered. Even his strikingly handsome face bore scars. His right arm was broken, and his chest, back, and legs were covered in countless wounds.Anyone else would have clung to Liesel like a lifeline, terrified that she would abandon them. But Elijah just wanted to push her away."What can I say, Lili?" Elijah's tone carried a hint of helplessness. "It feels like whatever I say now will just be wrong. Do you want to judge me? You're welcome to do so.""I just don't understand." Liesel held his hand. Her grip was gentle as if afraid of causing him more pain. "What do you take me for? What do you take yourself for?"This world has so many people suffering because they lack money or power. But we have both. You're incredibly hot, and you're standing at the pinnacle of society. So what if your legs are injured? There are countless people worse off than you. Why let this drag you do

Reuben handed Liesel a red-covered envelope, but his expression was strange as he did so. Was there something hidden in the letter?Liesel opened it, and her eyes twitched as she read the few words written inside. "What is this?"The writing looked like a tangled mess of worms twisted together into a few sentences. It wasn't just ugly—it was excessively so.Reuben fell silent for a moment. "It's not that hard to read."Liesel handed the letter back to him. Her gesture clearly said, "If it's so easy, you read it."Reuben's face remained as calm as ever. "Liesel..." He simply said her name before stopping."It's not important. What matters is that the only person who can match Howard's intellect and keep up with his progress is you. Since he wants to meet you and the authorities want you to be involved, I hope you can take this collaboration seriously, Ms. Sharp."He said it wasn't important, but actually, he just couldn't read Howard's alien handwriting.Liesel clicked her tongu

Belinda's verbal attacks only made Liesel realize one thing—Belinda wasn't a particularly smart person.Once truly intelligent people understood their opponent's cards, they wouldn't provoke them so recklessly, without considering the family's reputation or the consequences of their actions.It was selfish, cold-hearted, immature, and laughable.Liesel was already pushing Elijah's wheelchair out of the Turner residence's living room when Reuben nodded slightly at Nathan. His commanding gaze swept over Belinda as he murmured, "The younger generation of the Turner family needs to be properly taught manners."With that, Reuben left with the special forces.Glaring at their retreating backs, Belinda ground her teeth, but her expression was one of desolation.She could feel the vast distance between her and Liesel. She was unwilling to accept her defeat. She wouldn't just hand Elijah over to Liesel. One day, she would take Elijah back, no matter what.Liesel remained unaware of Belin

But since Heather had chosen her lover over her children when she was forced to make that choice, she was doomed to carry that guilt for the rest of her life.She had made her choice, and it was a mistake. Maybe it would be easier if she truly believed she was heartless.Since Liesel and Xavier were her and Jason's children, they had to be exceptional. Only then could they truly live up to their brilliant bloodline.Heather arrived at the research facility and looked at the man lying quietly on the bed, who was slowly recovering. Crouching on the cold floor, she gently held his hand and softly rubbed it."Jay, do you think I've made a mistake?"There was no response.Only the soft whisper of the breeze could be heard. Though it was the height of summer, the air felt unnervingly cold.Heather gazed at Jason, who was still trapped in his deep slumber."Jay, when you wake up, we'll go back to Ashthorne. They may not accept me, but they'll accept you. We can… go home together."Sh

After Jason's incident, Reuben had once asked Heather for a chance to pursue her. Without a second thought, she rejected him and introduced him to countless rich young women.But Reuben had remained single all this time. He had no lover, no family, and only a few adopted children he had raised.Heather could tell from his gaze that he still harbored some hope.Smiling, she said, "Reuben, if you're so interested in our news, why don't you keep an eye on Liesel? She's my daughter, after all. I'll contact her eventually, won't I?"When it came to people she didn't care for, she was always ruthless.She casually shifted the problem she considered troublesome onto Liesel. Her smile returned, and she looked at Liesel intently, as if waiting for her response."Are you waiting for my reaction?" Liesel asked. "I've always found myself in so many dangerous situations with Elijah. I'm more than happy if more bodyguards sent by the authorities come along. Thank you."There was nothing aroun

The other faction, the conservatives, insisted on waiting for Jason to wake up.However, those researchers were protected by the government. Without Jason, they had no real way to communicate with these researchers.They were close to backing down.That was when Heather hacked into the surveillance system. She knew those lunatics had drawn blood from Jason, and some even went so far as to drink it, all in the name of boosting their intelligence.They were insane."When I took Jay, they'd already drawn a thousand milliliters of blood from him. How cruel can you be? You were just hoping he'd die for the sake of your research. If I hadn't taken Jay, he would've been dead. And now you have the nerve to lecture me, accusing me of committing a crime?""If that's the case, haven't those researchers and everyone who was involved in this all violated the law? Can't I sue them, too?"Heather scoffed. "Don't force me to change my nationality and take this to the international courts. If it
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 427
Liesel was not someone who could be defeated easily.She was dangerous and powerful. Even in the pursuit of love, she never truly gave up on her own goals. She might feel pain from betrayal, but the next moment, she would rise again.No one could truly bring her down. She would always love herself.If someone tried to make her a pawn, she would destroy the entire game. She would always be the one in control, manipulating the game, never the one being manipulated.Not by Matthew, and certainly not by Heather.The hall was silent. All eyes were on the confrontation between mother and daughter. Everyone expected Heather, with her vast experience, to completely overpower Liesel. But that wasn't the case. Liesel not only stood firm, but she seemed to be gaining the upper hand.Nathan's gaze darkened as he observed Liesel. A monster had given birth to another monster.Meanwhile, Heather could see a line of high-ranking individuals standing behind Liesel on the screen. They were all th

Heather remained unnervingly calm, as if the life at stake was nothing more than a figurine to her."You're terrifying," Liesel said as she looked at Heather. "Actually, there's no real connection between us. My mom died more than a decade ago. She was driven to cut her wrists due to my dad's actions."She wasn't some strong, dangerous woman who could scare people in the business world. She was a weak, pitiful woman who couldn't protect her children. She was so powerless and incapable that she was driven to her death. My mom is long gone."Liesel spoke slowly. Each word was clear enough for Heather to understand.But Heather didn't grow angry. She simply smiled and spoke in a calm, almost soothing tone, "I gave birth to you, Liesel. Your exceptional genes come from me. That's an irrefutable fact. Whether I'm alive or dead, you will always be Heather Mallone's daughter."Her words wrapped around Liesel like an unbreakable chain. Yes, she would always be Heather's daughter.It was
