Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 327
Jacob's dark gaze was cold. He didn't clarify that he wasn't Elijah; instead, he reached out to pat Liesel's head. A look of heartache crossed his eyes. "You must be too fatigued. You also have a weak constitution. That's why you fell sick."He covered Liesel's bruised hand with his own. "The needle also moved out of place a few times, so we couldn't keep poking the same hand. At the time, you were deep asleep, lying on your other hand. I didn't want to startle you, so I asked the nursing staff to insert the IV needle into your arm instead. There's still half a bag of drip left to go, so hold on a little longer."At that moment, Liesel looked very faint. Her face was completely devoid of color, and pain was the only thing written on her face.Jacob felt a lump in his throat as he gazed at her with a complicated look. The emotion in his gaze was truly unreadable.Liesel's head was aching badly. She suddenly placed her hand on her belly, realizing that something wasn't right. Her bel

There had been their marriage, the car, the presents, the company, the job… Finally, there was the baby.The final tie between Liesel and Jacob was completely gone.A cold yet wry laugh escaped Liesel's throat. "That wasn't the bond tying me and Elijah together. Jacob, you wouldn't understand.""I don't care about these things!" Jacob gripped her hand tightly while gazing at her fixedly. Right now, he'd completely shredded the calmness and emotional regulation that he prided himself on. He seemed to be struggling to make the final decision. "Liesel, I'm giving you a chance. I'm giving you a chance to return to my side."He thought to himself, "If you make the right choice this time, I'll let you off the hook. You'll live a comfortable life, and you'll marry me and become my wife once again. I can put aside everything that happened between you and Elijah."Return to his side?Liesel's expression suddenly changed. Her face turned ashen, and her lips were even trembling lightly. S

However, Liesel didn't even look at the food. All she felt were chills from the ice running through her body. Even looking at food made her want to throw up."Where's my phone?" she asked quietly. She hung her head without looking at Drew.Right now, she couldn't even tell whom she was angry at.Drew froze for a moment. "It was crushed in the accident."Without saying a word, she got out of bed. However, she was so frail that she immediately crumpled to the floor.Drew tried to help her up, but she stubbornly avoided his touch. Instead, she continued to sit on the cold floor. "Don't touch me."She was so powerless that she couldn't even hold onto anything."I feel sick when I look at you all," she spat icily. She couldn't care less how Drew would feel hearing those words.She looked up, meeting Drew's hurt eyes. "Jacob did this, didn't he?" she asked intensely. Her voice made it sound like this was an interrogation.Earlier, her mind had been a mess. She had been so overcome w

"Should I call Elijah? Can I call him? If he's busy with the Hardin Group's partnership…" Liesel trailed off dazedly.Under these circumstances, she wouldn't call Elijah. She quietly bowed her head and slowly shuffled back to bed.Lying down, she pulled the sheets over her head, shrouding herself in complete darkness. Tears kept streaming down her face and wetting the pillowcase. The damp chill pressed against the side of her face.She couldn't close her eyes. As soon as her eyelids shut, all she could see was the child walking away resolutely. She covered her mouth, not allowing herself to sob out loud. This was humiliating.After some time passed, she could hear hurried footsteps approaching her bed."Elijah, how are you—" Drew exclaimed in shock.At this time, Elijah should be starting the partnership talks with Fruece. Why was he back now?Was he willing to throw away the partnership to be by Liesel's side?That was a several billion-dollar deal. He was truly crazy!Befo

Liesel said nothing. She didn't want to push all the blame on Elijah. After all, Elijah was the most innocent one in this situation."I just can't accept reality. We were so excited to meet our baby. I was even thinking about how we'd make handicrafts and watch his favorite cartoons together. I was looking forward to being by his side as he slowly transitioned to adulthood. I wanted to give him everything, but…"The grief overcame her once again, and she couldn't stop herself from tearing up."Lili, don't try to run from this. You have to accept what happened," Elijah said. His gaze was warm but firm. "We never wanted this to happen. You already did everything you could, but it's not fated to be. It's neither my fault nor yours; it's the fault of the accident."He hasn't arrived in this world yet, so he gets a chance to choose differently. Perhaps he'll be reincarnated into a better family and live a better life."While he was inside your belly, he was always a good boy. Therefore

"Be good and get some rest."Liesel hummed in agreement, but her eyes kept tracking Elijah's movements.Elijah sat down by her bed and squeezed her fingers which were still slightly cold. "I'm not going anywhere. I'll be right here with you."Liesel continued to stare at him without saying a word."I really am not going anywhere. In the future, no matter where I go, I'll make sure to bring you along, Lili."Only then did Liesel close her eyes to rest.Drew, who had never left the room, saw everything. His heart clenched.In public, Liesel always appeared decisive and efficient. When she was with Jacob, she'd been nothing but elegant and considerate.In his mind, she had always been perfect.But today, he finally realized that she actually wasn't perfect. She also got hurt and upset, and she also felt fear. This version of her was actually closer to her true self.The Liesel from the past seemed to be shrouded in a deceptive veil now. The Liesel that he was looking at now was

"Liesel, are you crazy?" Drew asked. His voice was laced with anger.Liesel regarded him calmly. "This is my business. It has nothing to do with you."With that, she wiped the blood off her arm.With the door shut, the hospital room was pin-drop silent. She could hear the faint rush of the blood in her ears. It felt like the blood was about to surge through her skin and destroy her.Leaning against the wall for support, she shakily got to her feet. Her head swam.Even though she couldn't even stand without swaying, she still pushed Drew's hand away. She opened the door slightly, hoping to hear what was being discussed outside.Elijah had flown abroad for a partnership project for the financial summit, but as soon as he landed, he'd caught the next flight home because of what happened to Liesel. The potential business partner had most likely never even seen him.Foreigners placed high importance on keeping promises. No matter what happened, one had to hold up their end of a promi

Elijah was quiet for a moment. Finally, he signed and handed the phone to Liesel.Liesel dialed Alyssa's number. Alyssa's assistant, John Welkin, picked up instead. Clearly, Alyssa had no interest in talking to Elijah anymore.John had planned to brush Elijah off with a few perfunctory words, but when he realized it was Liesel, he was stunned."It's Ms Sharp!"With just that one sentence, John managed to summon Alyssa over."Ms. Sharp? Oh my God, is it really you? Why are you calling me with Mr. Hardin's phone?" Alyssa grabbed the phone back in surprise. "Ms. Sharp, why do you sound so worn out? Did something happen? Do you need me to send a doctor? You don't sound well."In stark contrast to the cold and mocking attitude she gave Elijah, Alyssa showed Liesel nothing but warmth and gentleness.It wasn't just because Liesel's face was a sight for sore eyes, but her Shifter Corporation had also raked in a lot of profits for Alyssa. Basically, any partnership with Liesel was bound

Ophelia was so angry that she wanted to cuss at Edward. However, before she could even get mad, she heard Edward's disappointed voice. "Are you regretting this already?"Ophelia was dumbfounded. However, Edward continued slowly, "After giving it a lot of thought, you decided to abandon me. Is that it? I know I'm not good enough… I don't blame you…"Ophelia felt a headache coming on, but the anger had vanished. "No, I'm not thinking of abandoning you."The kiss yesterday had left her so excited that she hadn't slept a wink the entire night.She thought to herself, "If I don't set the record straight, Edward's going to overthink and paint me as a playgirl."She took a deep breath. "After you kissed me… I was really happy, so I only went to bed very late."Edward was obviously also caught off-guard. He hadn't expected to hear that. With delight in his eyes, he said, "I was also really happy that you let me kiss you."Ophelia hummed, and her face flushed red. "I'm really tired," she

Brandon didn't respond right away. Fred continued, "No one taught your mother and sister how to act appropriately in society. Mr. Ford is spending his precious time teaching them what to do and what not to do. Thus, they will have to suffer a bit for this."Mr. Zima, if you really want to help them, then just give your parents the bare minimum financial aid from time to time. As for your sister… you have no obligation to provide for her. Do you understand where I'm coming from?"Brandon couldn't accept it. "My sister's reputation in the industry isn't great right now. If I don't help her, then she really won't be able to survive. Mr. Ford is also an older brother. He should understand what I'm going through."Jacob loved Ophelia, and Brandon also naturally loved Yvonne. It was because of this that he wanted to try getting forgiveness from Ophelia.Fred raised his voice. "Ms. Ford is very warm and never treats people haughtily. She has never used her family background to bully oth

With a serious expression, Brandon rattled on about the various compensations for Ophelia. Fred nearly couldn't keep his facial expression under control.It seemed like everyone already knew that Ophelia was a huge fan of Chelsea's. It couldn't have been easy to think of such a compensation.The elevator arrived on the top floor, but Jacob still hadn't given his response. Therefore, Brandon hurried into his office behind Jacob and Fred. Finally, Jacob looked at him. "There is some sincerity to it."Firstly, a public apology to Ophelia on his company's Twitter account would clear her name. Secondly, the shares would be considered as financial compensation for the mental distress caused.The third form of compensation was the key point that convinced Jacob to look up. He thought that it was too difficult for Ophelia to fight for concert tickets and produce fan merchandise herself. Now that there was someone readily available to do it, Ophelia wouldn't have to work so hard.This pers

During that time, he'd suffered through endless torment.When he was rescued, his personality had turned ruthless.Although he could be monstrous, he placed great importance on his family and friends. And, Ophelia was his beloved little sister.How could he let Yvonne off the hook for scheming against Ophelia?

He had just planned to give her a small taste of her medicine and stop there. However, Veronica had decided on her own accor

Vincent's expression turned cold. He wanted to kick her out of the house, but suddenly, Jacob's cold voice sounded from afar."Since our family is powerful and influential, why should we swallow our anger and surfer in silence?"Jacob had left a document at home, but because his assistant, Fred Foreman, didn't know where it was kept, he had to come home himself to get it. Unexpectedly, he overheard Veronica's haughty words when he returned.Well, a woman who was only pretending to be wealthy in a remote place was now acting superior in his home. Who would allow that to happen?All these years, Veronica had never been defied by someone younger than her before. Because she was much older, she considered herself superior. She didn't care if one was the heir to the family or the eldest son of the main family. At that moment, Jacob's words had made her rage boil over."Look! Look at the children that the Ford family has produced!"Jacob raised an eyebrow. He massaged the spot betwee

Edward chuckled quietly in her ear. "Where do you want to go tomorrow, Ophelia? Should I take you on an overseas getaway? Or perhaps, we could take a stroll nearby and watch a movie.""I can't go overseas; I'm not on break yet. Let's go watch a movie," Ophelia replied. "I've only watched a movie with you as my brother. This time, I want to try watching a movie with you as my boyfriend."Although Edward was still the same person, his identity had changed.She could now touch Edward openly. She could hold his hand, hug him, and kiss him.It was… really great."Alright, get some rest today. I'll come pick you up tomorrow," Edward said.Ophelia nodded and walked him to the door. As soon as she shut the door, she pressed her hand to her chest, feeling her heart thudding rapidly from the kiss earlier.She hopped into bed and rolled from side to side.After Edward got into his car, he finally let out a loud laugh. He pressed his fingers to his lips, reminiscing about the aftertaste sh

As their tongues intertwined, Edward could taste a sweet and sour flavor on Ophelia's tongue. It tasted like she just had a piece of strawberry candy that made her entire mouth taste sweet.Even her breath smelled like this refreshing and saccharine fruity scent. It was as if she was enticing him to take a bite of her and swallow her.The more they kissed, the more forceful Edward got. The air around them felt syrupy and intimate."Are you sure you really have never dated before? Am I really your first? If I am… then why are you so good at kissing?" she asked like it was an interrogation.She didn't know how to kiss and was very inexperienced. However, Edward had practically conquered her. He kissed her until her knees went weak.At the thought of Edward doing this to another woman, her chest began to ache terribly.Edward played with her hair, which had become messy from the kissing. "Like I said, you're all I dream about. I don't even know how many times I've kissed you in my d

"How would you know that I also didn't have the same kind of thoughts when you secretly kissed me all those years ago?"You said that I was born in a tall tower, but I didn't get to choose my background. Meanwhile, you have climbed your way up to where I am to be with me."In ancient times, we would have been innocent and carefree childhood sweethearts. We would've been considered a match made in heaven."Edward, what I'm saying is the truth." Ophelia said each word solemnly. She stared unblinkingly at Edward as she spoke. "While you were struggling with these emotions, who said I was not struggling too?"However, I just couldn't forget you. I couldn't accept a future without you. What I wanted was to have you by my side. I wish you were my lover, and I want to be with you, Edward Ford."Her response was firm and resolute. It echoed with conviction.At the same time, she seemed to be giving her answer to the Edward who had been hiding his feelings in fear and panic for many y
