Chapter 399

Author: Cloud Drop
"Are you crazy?" Although Jacob's voice wasn't loud, it pierced through the night sky.

Liesel sat in the driver's seat. Her hands were still tightly wrapped around the wheel. Her body was shaking from the intense impact earlier.

She looked up at Jacob. A complicated expression flashed across her face. "You don't understand…" she said quietly, her voice hoarse. "There are some things that cannot be forgiven."

There was no way to forgive the things that Matthew did, nor could they be forgiven.

She couldn't control the wildly expanding loathing in her heart.

How could she suppress this feeling? In the world of business, she could swiftly crush anyone with her absolute power. However, when it came to love, she couldn't control it.

In the many years that she had loved Jacob, she had hurt herself and doubted herself. Then, Elijah appeared and resolutely led her out of that haze.

To her, Elijah was different.

That was the kind of person that Liesel was. No matter how strong she was, s

    Liesel once again drove toward Matthew. Matthew, who was bleeding everywhere, tried to run in a panic. The hand Jacob had around his steering wheel was trembling. He sped in that direction when his car was once again sent flying.His breathing grew heavier, and his gaze darkened. Stubbornly, he stopped his car in front of Matthew."Liesel, are you capable of thinking straight?"If Liesel could think straight, she wouldn't be doing these crazy things.Liesel clenched her fists. The moment she looked up, her eyes met Jacob's gloomy ones. A chilling laugh escaped her throat. Her face was pale, and her gaze was icy. The sight was so foreign that he felt like he never truly knew her in the first place."Jacob, would you believe me if I told you I would hit you too?" she said mockingly. "Do you think you mean a lot to me?"Her grip tightened around her steering wheel. "To me, you are all enemies."She knew that the culprit was Matthew while the others were accomplices."Get lost! You

    Liesel staggered toward Matthew before coming to a stop in front of him. Neal trailed after her. She crouched down to regard Matthew, who was covered in blood. Her tear-filled eyes were now filled with iciness."Where is he?" she asked hoarsely. Then, she repeated herself, "Where is he?"Matthew barked out a laugh. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Liesel, if you're so amazing, can't you find him yourself? Elijah has so many secret lovers that you don't even know about. Even if you don't find him, someone else will. He doesn't even need you."There was no mutual salvation. You were the only one who felt anything in this relationship. You're nothing but a fool to have truly fallen for a playboy like him. How ridiculous!" he mocked.Liesel's gaze remained collected as she listened to his outrageous words. Once she felt like his maniacal tirade was over, she said calmly, "If you lay a finger on him, I won't spare Ophelia.""I think you've truly gone crazy! Why would you pull Ophelia into

    When Liesel stood up, she staggered slightly. Neal immediately rushed forward to support her. Her head was killing her, and her vision was blurring.Still, she stood there, gazing fixedly at Matthew. Finally, she left him with a warning. "I keep my word."With that, she walked away without giving either Matthew or Jacob another glance.When she got back to the car, she couldn't hold on anymore and collapsed against her seat. Her body was burning up. When she closed her eyes, all she could see was Elijah lying in a pool of blood. Every time, the sight would shock her awake.When her eyes flew open, they met with Jacob's dark ones outside the car.He was watching her.Since the moment she got out of the car, Jacob had been watching her. However, she had completely ignored him. All she ever thought about was Elijah. In the past, her gaze would have trailed after him, completely opposite from the way she was treating him like he was invisible now. In a way, she was telling him that h

    When the report came out, Denzel frowned.He had prescribed Liesel medication to replenish her iron, but she was clearly getting weaker and showing symptoms of excessive blood loss. It was so bad that it seemed that her brain had already been affected. If this continued, it could progress into bipolar disorder or manic disorder.It was true that Liesel had been acting more wildly and irrationally recently.How did she end up like this?"What have you been eating these days?"Denzel's brow was furrowed. He urgently needed to know Liesel's diet recently to determine what she had consumed that could have made her like this.Not to mention… if it was just her diet, she shouldn't have changed so quickly. It was impossible for a person's emotions to go out of control in such a short period of time.Upon hearing Denzel's serious tone, Jordan also grew solemn. "She didn't have much of an appetite recently. All she ate was according to the menu that you crafted for her. Even at business

    Jordan was furious. "We don't need the doctors and nurses of Cloudspire Hospital to take care of her. We'll arrange for someone to take good care of her."His expression turned frosty. "Have your people stay away from her. As I thought, someone in the same camp as Jacob can't be good," he said snidely.He still couldn't control the hatred he felt right now."You'd better find out what happened, or I'll make you pay the price. Whether Cloudspire Hospital will be able to continue operating is another matter."What kind of character was Jordan?He was always pretty untamed. He was mixed race; his mother was a foreign dancer, while his father was a wealthy man. Because of his lowly background, he had been abandoned at the orphanage not long after he was born. Since birth, he'd tried to crawl out of the muddy mires he'd been born into. However, because his considerably powerful father had been mocked by others, Jordan had even been harassed by his own father because of his face.Aft

    So what was Natalie's purpose in this?Natalie loved Jacob so much; she definitely wouldn't allow another woman to be by Jacob's side, much less allow Liesel to give birth to Jacob's baby. Thus, Jacob didn't have to lift a finger. He just needed to tell Natalie the news so that she would take care of everything.Therefore, Liesel's miscarriage had been because of the herbs.Having achieved her goal on the first try, she grew bolder.She was so jealous of Liesel that she utterly despised the latter. She wanted to quietly drive Liesel crazy and make her even weaker so that Liesel would quietly die like a wilted flower.In Natalie's mind, Liesel was no different than her, just another one of Jeffrey's daughters. How come Liesel had everything and was able to stand at the peak, garnering everyone's respect? How come Natalie had to hide in a dark corner and was not allowed to show herself? Not only that, the man she cared about the most also loved Liesel.Hatred had blinded her. Her

    Jordan and Neal stood by Liesel's side. They knew that she was very weak and emotionally unstable right now, so they were very worried that Jacob would hurt her."Lili, we're afraid that something will happen to you."Liesel shook her head gently in response to Neal's concerned comment. "He won't," she said. A small laugh escaped her throat. It sounded like she was laughing at herself and mocking Jacob. "He's fallen for me."Like a foolish bystander, she could clearly feel Jacob's deep love for her. However, his idea of love was different from hers. Her idea of love was giving and offering herself wholly, while his idea of love was to plunder, possess, and hurt.She sat in her wheelchair and allowed Jordan to push her to the elevator. The housekeeper had been waiting for a while now. When she saw her, she immediately greeted her with respect. "Welcome home, Mrs. Ford."Liesel didn't correct the housekeeper. She simply allowed her to lead her into the condo in which she'd lived for

    It was like Jacob had completely forgotten about the conflict between him and Liesel.He acted as if they hadn't gone through a divorce, a car accident, and all those other things. It was like they were still a normal married couple."How ridiculous," Liesel thought. "This is truly ridiculous.""Jacob, you seemed to have forgotten about the rifts between us. Do you need me to remind you?" she asked.Her gaze flitted toward the glass of wine, and her heart filled with derision. "Also, I've just suffered a miscarriage. My body is still recovering, so I can't have alcohol."At the mention of miscarriage, Jacob's eyes suddenly turned icy. "Don't bring up the miscarriage in front of me ever again. I thought that you asked to meet because you've finally thought things through."Step by step, he approached Liesel. As he leaned down, his entire body radiated an overbearing pressure. However, Liesel's expression didn't waver.While watching Jacob, she merely hummed quietly. "Yes, I've th

    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

    "If you're ever unhappy, you can come find me anytime. I'll always be here for you."This was Edward's promise.These were the moments when Ophelia had seen Edward smoking. Each time, it seemed to have something to do with her.She recalled the past. The way Edward always looked at her became even clearer in her mind. Back then, she might not have understood the struggle and yearning in his eyes.But now, she thought she understood.Her mind was filled with too many thoughts, and their embrace had lasted far too long.She wanted to push him away, but at that moment, he suddenly whispered in her ear, "Your first kiss wasn't him. It was me."What?Ophelia was stunned. She even thought that she'd heard wrong.When had she ever kissed Edward? How come she never knew about it?She pushed him away. Her doe eyes widened."You're lying. E-except just now, we've never kissed before!""The night before I left the country, you held onto my shirt and refused to let me leave. After you

    Ophelia still remembered the melancholy and confusion that she'd seen in Edward's eyes. He had looked like a young boy who couldn't find his way home.The moment Edward saw her, he stubbed out his cigarette. Holding her hand, he led the bleary-eyed Ophelia back to the bedroom.Worried that she'd catch a cold from the freezing winds, he made her a cup of hot chamomile tea. She didn't like the taste, so he had to try his hardest to coax her into drinking it.Upset, she said to him accusingly, "Edward, I feel I'm turning into a chamomile plant."Edward laughed.He was handsome. Even when he laughed, he looked attractive. Amusement bloomed on his charming and elegant face.She complimented him dazedly, "Edward, you're really good-looking."Even though she was still mad that she'd been coaxed into drinking a whole mug of chamomile tea, she still found herself lost in his handsomeness. Edward's eyes were curved from his broad grin, and he reached out to rub her head."You're very goo

    "So it is because of Stanley.""Well, I'm much older than you. Stanley is young so there wouldn't be a generation gap between you two. You must like someone younger."That's not all. Stanley has excellent grades. I naturally understand that you'd choose him. After all, he's the first guy you've ever called your boyfriend."You don't have to say anything; I understand. I'm not up to standard. Stanley will definitely achieve greater things than me in the future, so I shouldn't keep clinging to you…" I must have put you in a difficult position. If I had known that you had picked Stanley, I wouldn't have come back and disturbed you. I've disturbed the peace in your life."Every single word Edward said felt like a stab in Ophelia's heart.Was he crazy? Why was he talking about Stanley in every sentence?Ophelia tried her hardest to bite her tongue, but in the end, she failed to hold her anger in."You keep talking about Stanley, but didn't I already tell you that we've broken up?

    Ophelia snatched the junk food box in a huff to fill the gift boxes with snacks."You! Stop causing trouble!""Okay, okay! I'll stop messing around." With that, Joseph muttered, "It was just a few sweets…"Ophelia glared at him. Joseph immediately cleared his throat and no longer uttered a word. Instead of teasing her, he also began helping her pack the boxes. Not trusting him, Ophelia intentionally inspected each box. She only felt assured to hand him the boxes once she was certain none of the chocolates or snacks were missing.Not long after Joseph started packing, he began looking around absentmindedly. He looked down and noticed many private messages on Ophelia's phone. Those still part of Yvonne's fandom had sent those messages. They were scolding Ophelia.Ophelia merely glanced at the messages before nonchalantly turning off the phone screen. Not only were she and Joseph done wrapping the boxes, but Edward had finished preparing breakfast as well. Edward prepared all of

    "Oh!" Joseph exclaimed. He whirled around and took a step back before patting Edward's palm. "Shouldn't you give me something in return for my advice? A present or something, right?"Edward came off as rather domineering as he asked icily, "Tell me which car you want. What model and series? When do you want it?"Yes, Edward had brought up cars. Joseph's eyes lit up. "I want the latest SUV from Land Rover within the next three days."It wasn't as if Joseph couldn't afford the car. He simply liked messing with his friends. After all, free things were the best. "Sure." Joseph continued flatteringly, "Bro, this is how it works. Women are usually more soft-hearted, especially someone like Ophelia at her age. You should give in sometimes."Be shameless if she ever tries to drive you away. Hug her and act pitiful by saying that you don't want to leave her. Say that you can't sleep or will have nightmares if you don't see her. You can even be more dramatic."Joseph was quick-witted enou

    Ophelia was left dumbfounded after hearing Joseph's advice. What nonsense was he talking about? He was supposed to be on her side, not sabotage her. Edward shoved Ophelia out of the kitchen. "Something's wrong with his brain, so just ignore him. Go and rest."Ophelia was still perplexed as Edward pushed her out of the kitchen. However, she didn't probe further since she refused to speak to him for now. Once Ophelia was gone, Joseph immediately cursed. "You're such a beast. 28cm, 28cm. Why don't you cut off that thing of yours? Did you think your sweetheart is someone who appears in those adult films?" Edward's eyes twitched. He finally understood what Joseph had been blabbering about. Joseph was such a pervert through and through. Edward slammed the knife onto the chopping board. "I'm talking about my age. What's gotten into you?""Oh, it's your age." Joseph sighed in relief. He had been worried about how Draskia could have such a pervert like Edward.After a while, Joseph e
