Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 359
Helena had very high hopes for Xavier. Her words "I encourage you to take your future into your own hands and forge your path to greatness" had fully captured the hopes she had for him. Helena hoped that Xavier would become Alden University's top student.Xavier looked up at Helena. Although she was getting older, she still remained alert. She always had been gentle and elegant. He often received help from her while living with the Scotts for many years. In fact, Helena also proposed for the highest scorer to receive a scholarship so Xavier could receive the funds.After learning what happened to the Scotts, Helena changed the scholarship to fully exempt Xavier from paying the school fees. She also supplied free lunches and textbooks because she couldn't bear to see Xavier's talents go to waste. Xavier glanced at Helena with a determined expression before bowing. Helena smiled in relief. "Go ahead. Lead the other students and take the oath together to welcome the upcoming col

"Xavier's very happy. You don't have to feel so guilty about certain things." Elijah told Liesel, who looked downward a little with a faint smile on her lips. "Just because he's happy now doesn't mean he wasn't hurt before. I can only do my best to make it up to him.""Sometimes, you can focus more on yourself instead." Elijah reached out to pat Liesel gently on her head. He drew his hand back with a secret chuckle after Liesel glared at him.It was the night of Ashthorne First High School's prom night. Some female students were already secretly casting glances at Xavier. There were even students who began shoving a pretty girl to Xavier's side. Anna McCarthy had round cheeks and delicate features, and she looked gorgeous. At that moment, her face was completely flushed, yet she was still casting furtive glances at Xavier with pursed lips. "Xavier, will you dance with me?" Xavier put a hand in his pocket and looked into the distance with slightly pursed lips. "I'm really sorr

Liesel had always known that pregnancy, miscarriage, or childbirth could cause significant damage to a woman's body, but she only truly understood it after experiencing it herself.She felt weak and dizzy. She was occasionally seeing spots and dry-heaving. Her legs were unsteady, and her entire body felt like it was walking on cotton.But this was Xavier's graduation prom night, and she wanted to dance with him.She wanted to tell him that she was there for him and he wasn't alone."Come on. Dance with me," she said with a smile.Xavier paused for a moment before taking her hand again and pulling her into an embrace. He could clearly smell the faint scent of herbs on her. She'd been drinking medicine lately.She had really been through a lot.As they danced, Xavier looked down to meet Liesel's eyes, which were always gentle and smiling whenever she looked at him.Sometimes, Xavier thought that the way Liesel looked at him didn't seem like the gaze of an older sister at her youn

Xavier continued, "Now I get it. You didn't refuse to let me grow up with you. You chose a path for me that would let me survive. You wanted me to have an easier, carefree life. And when I got hurt, you were right there in danger too."Even now, with all that you've achieved, they still insult you because of your gender. It seems like the only way for you to avoid their malice is to climb higher, to stand at the top and look down on everyone."You wanted me to escape this life, but you're trapped in the nightmare forever. I've figured it out now."Xavier held Liesel's cold fingers and awkwardly mimicked Elijah's usual gesture to warm them up. "Can we forgive each other?"He would forgive her for years of neglect and disregard, and she would forgive him for hurting her.She was his sister, and he was her little brother. They were a family.Although Xavier only said to forgive each other, Liesel could almost read his true feelings in the depths of his eyes.Her throat tightened, a

Xavier sat still. The warm breeze swept through his hair, which revealed his handsome face. He didn't unbuckle his seatbelt or get out of the car. Instead, his gaze was fixed on Elijah's face."I can't leave in this situation," Xavier said calmly. "You can take me with you."Elijah's face remained serious as he ignored Xavier's objection and unbuckled his seatbelt. "Don't be stubborn. Lili will be heartbroken if something happens to you."He chose the word "heartbroken" instead of "guilty."Xavier's gaze turned sharp and intense. "Wouldn't you be heartbroken if something happened to Liesel? I'm her brother, and you're her lover."Who was more important—her brother or her lover? No one would have an answer to that.Xavier and Liesel were clearly siblings. Their temperaments were so similar. If it were Liesel in this situation, would she act differently? No. She wouldn't abandon Elijah to go off on her own either."Listen to me, Xavier."Elijah cracked his knuckles and said serio

Augustine closed in. His broad frame loomed, and as he raised his arm, the muscles in his bicep flexed. He pushed back his damp blond hair, exposing his sweaty forehead. His rugged, audacious face came into view. He was hot, but compared to Elijah, he carried a rougher, darker edge."Is it because of Ms. Sharp? I really want to know what kind of face she has that makes you so obsessed with her. Is she more beautiful than Duke Sylvian's daughter?"Augustine's hatred for Elijah stemmed from their past. Augustine had once been madly in love with Finlay Sylvian's daughter, but she only had eyes for Elijah.On top of that, Elijah had completely outshone him in racing. It was no surprise that Augustine's jealousy had turned into bitter resentment.Elijah's expression darkened at his words. With a swift motion, he grabbed Augustine by the collar. His voice was cold and deadly as he warned, "Direct your madness at me. Don't lay a finger on Lili, or I'll haunt you even in death."Augustine

Xavier's white shirt was soaked in blood. The deep wound from the glass shards lodged in his chest, and blood was gushing in steady spurts."Hang in there, Xavier! You can't pass out! I'm taking you to the hospital!" Ethan's voice was frantic as he held Xavier.Elijah had trusted him with Xavier's safety. He couldn't let Xavier fall here.Ethan struggled to hail a cab while holding Xavier steady.Xavier opened his eyes and wiped the blood from his forehead. His voice was no longer calm. "Bandage my wound. Take me to the exam venue." He sounded determined."Are you out of your mind? How can you take the exam in this condition?" Ethan's eyes widened as he argued. He was going to force Xavier to the hospital. "I need to take the exam. Elijah asked you to take me," Xavier said.As soon as Elijah's name slipped out, Ethan gritted his teeth in frustration.He was also injured and weak, yet he couldn't help but be taken aback by the reckless determination emanating from Xavier."Dam

The reporters continued clamoring for answers."Is that student the one you value the most, Principal Davis? I remember your prized pupil is Xavier Scott. Was that him?"Helena's expression grew darker. She maintained her composure and answered firmly, "Apologies. We'll provide answers after the exams are over."The college entrance exam began.Sitting in his seat, Xavier pressed his fingers to his temples. His head spun violently. The nausea surged to the point where he felt like he would vomit. Clamping down on the discomfort, he forced himself to focus and began writing furiously.The invigilator frequently passed by his desk. She initially wanted to ask if he needed medical assistance. But upon glancing at Xavier's rows of accurate answers on his paper, she refrained from interrupting.Still, her gaze often lingered on his bloodstained clothes, which stood out starkly in the exam room.When the first exam concluded, Xavier collapsed onto his desk. He was clearly at his limit

"I remember you saying that you thought of Ophelia as your sister, then you got together with her. Are you trying to commit incest?" Jacob said mockingly. He was cutting straight to the chase.Before Edward could respond, Jacob asked Ophelia, "Since you like CEO and brother-sister literature so much, can you swear on your life that you were imagining Edward and not me?"Of course, he had to throw snide remarks at both of them.His mouth was truly venomous.He didn't even give Edward a chance to explain before sending another blade through his heart. "Didn't you say that you would take care of Ophelia for the rest of your life? "The Ford family sent you abroad to study, but you came back only to commit incest. It seems like you didn't learn much while you were overseas. If anything, the only thing you picked up overseas was loose morals toward love."Edward's smile stiffened. "Jacob, Ophelia and I have already talked about it. We aren't related by blood, and this is between us."

When Ophelia didn't ask further, Edward rubbed her back and asked, "Are you hungry? If you want to grab a bite, shall we head to Heritage Hotel?""I want to check out the food market at Alden University, and I want you to carry me." She paused to think for a moment. "Piggybacking is also fine."It seemed like Veronica's tantrum hadn't reduced her enthusiasm for the food market. Edward was relieved that it hadn't ruined her mood."Is the food there clean? I thought Jacob said no street food." The reason he brought up Jacob's name was because he knew that he would be defenseless against Ophelia's cuteness.Jacob also happened to be the only person that Ophelia was truly afraid of.Still, Ophelia didn't take it seriously. "He's not even here. He won't know if I secretly have some."As soon as she said that, a cold voice sounded from not far away."What is it that I won't know?"The person slowly emerging from the shadows was none other than Jacob.Videos of the incident between O

Edward narrowed his eyes, sensing that something wasn't right.What could make Denzel so cautious?"Will you tell me when we get home?" Edward patted Ophelia's head. The latter leaned into his touch guiltily.Denzel massaged his forehead.Whatever. The sooner they went away, the better. He didn't want to watch them be all lovey-dovey in front of him.After they left, the janitor sanitized the office. Denzel had no more work for the night except for the discussion that he had with Jacob tonight.Just as he thought about Jacob, he called."What does your text mean? What do you mean, 'Sorry for my beloved'?"Denzel was quiet for a moment. "Have you not seen the trends on Twitter in the past two days?"Jacob was even more puzzled after he checked. Besides the news about Ophelia getting bullied by Yvonne, there was nothing else. Wasn't he already handling this matter? Or could there be something else that he didn't know about?"Are you not aware that Edward and Ophelia were trendi

Meanwhile, in the long term, Dash would be a concern. Dash had a lot of nasty tricks up his sleeve. While he might not dare to piss Liesel off now, he most likely wouldn't let Ford Corporation off the hook.Of course, Edward knew all of this.It was because he knew this that he spent such a long time abroad, hiding from Ophelia. Still, he hadn't been able to control his feelings for her. He couldn't bring himself to let go of her.He didn't have any greater aspirations in this lifetime. He only wished that he could help Ophelia reach the stars. Then, he'd stay by her side and protect her. Anything else was outside his consideration."I know the consequences." Edward gazed down at Ophelia with a gentle smile."If Ophelia didn't like me or have feelings for me, I would be willing to just stay by her side and never cross that line. However, I'm fortunate that the person I love also loves me back. "Thus, no matter what the future brings, I can handle it."I think about how brightly

Denzel sent Jacob a text that said, "Sorry about your beloved."Jacob, who was already headed to the hospital to have a discussion with Denzel, was taken aback when he read the message.What did that mean?Before Denzel could explain, the door opened. Inside, Edward was hugging Ophelia.Denzel had a strange look in his eyes. He looked like he wanted to say something but was holding back. However, Edward didn't overthink it. He merely thanked Denzel and prepared to leave the hospital with Ophelia.Upon hearing that, Denzel's smile froze. "You're welcome."For some reason, it sounded like he was seething. It even sounded a little like "fuck off".Nevertheless, Edward didn't think too much of it. However, he overheard Denzel instructing the janitor to sanitize the entire office, especially the bed and the couch.Edward was speechless. So that was why Denzel had been so hostile earlier.Despite his typically calm and refined demeanor, Edward was furious and embarrassed. "I didn't

Edward had the foresight to turn Ophelia's face toward him so that Denzel's smile was no longer directed at her.Denzel was speechless.All of Denzel's elderly patients wanted to make him their son-in-law, while the young women would secretly fall for his good looks and dream of marrying him. And that wasn't all. There had even been young men who had been so charmed by his smile that they kept asking if he was also into guys.Therefore, Edward didn't want his future fiance to even look at Denzel for a second too long. In his eyes, Denzel was a seductive devil, which was why he had the nickname "Denzel Medusa".Thus, Edward said shamelessly, "If you're done with the wound dressing, then you may leave. I want to discuss some things with Ophelia and also get some rest."Denzel wished he could cut ties with Edward and have the hospital blacklist him.He massaged the spot between his eyebrows. "This is my office."Without any hesitation, Edward asked, "Aren't you single?"In this

"It's my fault. I'll definitely pay attention next time." Edward felt very guilty and sorry."So you want me to get hurt again?" Ophelia tugged on the silver chain around Edward's neck. Her eyes twinkled.She had bought this necklace for him when she was younger. She remembered that it had come with an oval locket, inside which she had inserted a photo of her getting hugged by him on her own accord.She couldn't really remember what the photo looked like anymore, but she had a rough idea. She had picked the photo that she thought she looked the best in.At the time, she had still been really young, but she had been inspired by a television show. She thought that by giving a family member or a lover a gift, they would always think of her whenever they looked at it.Kids were always naive like that. She thought that since he would think of her when he saw her gift anyway, she might as well put a picture of herself inside.Thus, the young Ophelia had picked out a silver necklace and

As if she could sense something, Ophelia looked up. Her indifferent gaze suddenly lit up, and her eyes curved as she smiled.Edward's throat tightened. At this moment, he didn't know whether to feel frustration or heartache.He had been a little late, and Ophelia had ended up getting bullied by a crazy old woman.Edward walked to her side and squeezed her hand gently. Ophelia had no intention of wasting her breath on Veronica. She was waiting for Edward to come and handle her.She pointed at Veronica and said straightforwardly, "She's bullying me."Without a second thought, she continued, "She accused me of bullying her daughter, Yvonne, which is why she came to stir up trouble."Edward frowned. The Ford family didn't have much of a partnership with the Zima family, and Edward had spent a few years studying abroad. The older generation never got to see him much, so Veronica naturally didn't recognize Edward as Matthew's adopted son.Thus, she just assumed that he was another For

"I'm not interested in getting revenge on a celebrity I used to be a fan of. If your daughter received any retribution, it's only because even God couldn't let it continue."If you have so much free time, it would benefit you more to come to church with me instead."Ophelia was about to walk off when Veronica leaped forward. She held onto Ophelia's leg again and refused to allow her to leave. "No, you can't walk away! Yvonne said that she doesn't have a future in the industry anymore after making you angry."You have to forgive her! Aren't you a fan? You can't just stop supporting her. You have to keep liking her. As the daughter of the Ford family, you can give her more opportunities, and she will definitely be able to rise again!" Veronica roared maniacally.Ophelia let out an exasperated chuckle. All of a sudden, she felt like the entire Zima family was full of lunatics.Unable to hold back anymore, she said angrily, "Yvonne has committed a crime. Do you think I'm moronic enoug
