Your Love Came Too Late Chapter 7
During Ember's hospital stay, Atlas came by to ask about her condition, but Spencer dismissed his concerns with perfunctory answers."You've seen how she is. If she doesn't cooperate, there's nothing I can do. When she finally decides to take her treatment seriously, she'll recover quickly."Once she's abroad, there will be even better specialists to treat her. You can rest easy."Atlas was torn—angry at her supposed stubbornness, yet secretly pleased by how much she seemed to care for him.It was clear that he was important to Ember—so important that she was willing to push her body to its limits just to cling to him."Ember, wouldn't it be better to accept treatment and recover sooner? Why must you insist on making things worse for yourself?"But Ember simply asked in a calm voice when she saw him, "Has Mr. Ferguson Senior woken up?"The brief flicker of compassion Atlas had felt vanished instantly. He scoffed."You still have the nerve to ask? If your legs weren't injured ri

Atlas felt as though time itself had frozen. The sight of Ember's blood pooling beneath her was blinding, like a dagger piercing his chest, leaving him in unbearable agony."Ember, Ember…" His bloodshot eyes were filled with tears as he grasped her cold, lifeless hand, desperately trying to warm her unresponsive body.Doctors and nurses rushed over, hastily placing Ember on a stretcher and wheeling her to the emergency room."Ember, you can't leave me. Please, I'm begging you!"Don't die, Ember. Don't die. I'm begging you, please don't die…" Atlas followed closely behind, his voice trembling uncontrollably as he spoke."The patient has multiple fractures in all four limbs, with severe damage to the legs."Her internal organs are ruptured, causing massive internal bleeding, and her brain has suffered significant trauma."She's losing blood fast—prepare for a transfusion immediately!"Each word from the doctors hit Atlas like a hammer, and his legs nearly gave out beneath him. Th

"That's impossible!"Atlas shoved Kaylee away, paying no mind as she fell to the floor. He was consumed with desperation and still frantically trying to stand. "I need to see her. I need to see Ember!"No matter how hard he tried, his injured legs gave out again and again, leaving him collapsing to the ground. Blood was seeping from his wounds, staining the floor.Kaylee helped him back onto the bed with tears brimming in her eyes. Her voice trembled as she said, "Atlas, don't do this to yourself. Seeing you in so much pain makes me feel terrible, too."At least… At least, Ember is still alive. As long as we try, there's hope she'll wake up."Please, calm down, won't you?"Hearing her words, Atlas forced himself to take a breath, and his chaotic emotions gradually settled. He immediately called for his bodyguards."I'm going back to the Ferguson residence—quickly!"I heard emotional stimulation can help wake patients in a vegetative state. If I can find things Ember left behind

When Atlas arrived at the hospital, it was already evening."Atlas, you're just in time. Let's have dinner together," Kaylee said when she noticed the hollows in his cheeks. Her heart ached for him, yet jealousy burned deep inside her.Why? Why would Atlas still care so much about Ember, even now that she's nothing but a shell of her former self?Nevertheless, she didn't let her emotions show.Atlas was in a low mood, and she planned to use this opportunity to show him how indispensable she could be. She had to ensure Ember would disappear from his life for good.Kaylee gently pushed Atlas toward the table, arranging the food in front of him."Atlas, I heard from the bodyguards that you haven't eaten all day. You can't keep going like this."I know you're worried about Ember, but you have to take care of yourself too. Imagine how upset Ember would be if she saw you like this."Here. I've been simmering this chicken noodle soup all afternoon. Try it—tell me how it tastes."Touc

Atlas' eyes burned red with rage outside the door. He clenched his teeth so tightly it felt like they might shatter.So, he had been nothing more than a fool who was played by Kaylee all along.This venomous woman—someone he had treated like a cherished younger sister—had nearly killed his fiancée!Ember had explained herself so many times, yet he had refused to listen. He had dismissed her words as baseless accusations and tantrums.But she had been the one wronged all along.The realization hit him like a punch, and Atlas slammed his fist into his leg in frustration.Why? Why hadn't he taken a moment to truly hear Ember out?If he had believed her even once, she wouldn't be lying in a hospital bed now, trapped in a coma.Guilt and fury tore at Atlas, and just as he was about to push the door open to confront Kaylee and Spencer, the head of his security team hurried to his side.He handed him a USB drive and said, "Mr. Ferguson, this is the footage from the camera on Ms. Sloa

"How dare she!"Atlas hurled the water glass at the opposite wall with all his strength. The crash echoed through the room as it shattered into countless pieces.Fury blazed in his eyes, and his fists clenched tightly."Kaylee Langford, you will pay for this."He stormed back to Ember's hospital room. Behind the door, Kaylee and Spencer were still oblivious, and they continued their vile conversation."Tch, just look at Ember's legs. It's disgusting. Those wounds are hideous," Kaylee said with a sneer.Spencer snorted. "Well, I didn't know she wanted to die so badly. I mean, I wasn't even planning to fix those rotten legs of hers in the first place."She sure has some endurance, though. Remember when I used tweezers to stab her wounds just to see her reaction?"I thought she'd scream from the pain, but she didn't make a sound. She nearly died from it, but she still stayed silent. It was so boring."Atlas couldn't listen to another word. He slammed the door open with a deafenin

Ember was moved to the bed beside Atlas, so he could see her every time he turned his head.He spent every day by her side, and he'd trace his fingertips gently on her eyebrows and eyes over and over again."Ember, the people who hurt you have already been dealt with. Please, open your eyes and look at me, won't you?"However, there was no response from the unconscious Ember.Meanwhile, the Langford siblings, who had been disgracefully cast out of high society, were struggling to survive.Kaylee had previously leveraged her connection to Atlas to secure a modeling job with the Fergusons' company and access to the elite social circle.However, her manipulative and insincere behavior had left her with few genuine friends.Now that Atlas had blacklisted her, she not only lost her job and housing but also became a pariah within those circles.Spencer was in an even worse position. A talentless drifter, he had been no different from a homeless vagrant before his brief association wi

Atlas couldn't remember how he made it back to the hospital.When he came to his senses, he was already sitting by Ember's bedside with tears streaming down his face.Ember lay there with her eyes closed, so still it was almost as though she weren't breathing. Only the faint rise and fall of her chest proved she was still alive.Atlas broke down as he looked at her serene features. He buried his face in his hands as he wept.He knew Kaylee had been right.Neither Kaylee nor Spencer had caused as much harm to Ember as he himself had.How did it come to this?He truly loved Ember in the beginning. How did he end up doing so many things to hurt her?If only he hadn't gone to the birthday party with Kaylee…If only he hadn't fought with Ember that day…If only, he hadn't left her behind out of spite on the day of the ski trip…The hospital room was deathly quiet except for his muffled sobs.Memories flooded his mind—bright and happy days that were now out of reach, like snowfla

A few months later, Ember and Forrest got engaged.That day, Ember was both worried and angry as she brought Forrest to the clinic after watching Atlas leave."Look at this wound…" Ember carefully applied ointment while scolding him, "Why did you have to act so recklessly?"You have such a handsome face. It would be such a waste if it gets scarred."Forrest grinned and rested his chin in her palm. "If it means getting your attention and sympathy, then that punch was totally worth it."Ember's face turned bright red as she glared at him. It was half-embarrassed, and half-affectionate. "You're impossible."Still, worry flickered across her expression. "Promise me you won't do this again. Seeing you hurt makes my heart ache.""I promise," Forrest said earnestly while nodding. "From now on, I'll never make you worry again."They held their wedding in early summer.Beneath a cascade of flowers, the couple walked toward each other amidst the blessings and applause of family and frie

Atlas was entirely consumed by thoughts of Ember, so much so that he had been absent from the Ferguson Group for days. When Wade heard about it, he flew into a rage and immediately ordered his wayward son to be dragged back.When Atlas was brought back to the Ferguson residence, the first thing he saw was his parents sitting silently in the living room.As soon as Wade saw him, he shouted, "Come here!"Atlas walked over expressionlessly, only to be met with a resounding slap across his face. His head snapped to the side, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.Alana, who was standing nearby, immediately rushed to her son in panic."Talking is enough. Why did you have to hit him?" She scolded her husband. Her voice was filled with concern as she pulled Atlas closer to inspect him.The more she looked, the more horrified she became."What… what happened to you?" she asked in shock. "Atlas, why are you covered in bruises? And who hit you in the face?"Unable to bear seeing her son in

At that moment, Atlas' gaze toward her was filled with sorrow and despair. It was as if he might shatter at any second."You really don't feel anything?" he asked as he gripped Ember's wrist tightly, refusing to let go. "Do none of our memories mean anything to you anymore?"His force startled Ember, and she instinctively shook her head.Atlas' eyes grew darker, filled with anguish and a growing madness."What about the avalanche?" he pressed, his voice trembling as he dredged up the painful memories. "The time Kaylee pushed you off the mountain, causing you to almost lose your legs—do you not remember that either?""What?" Ember frowned as she pulled against his grasp with confusion etched across her face."Kaylee framed you and pushed you down the snowy cliffs. You were trapped in the mountains for seven whole days!"The more he said, the more her expression clouded."Your legs were so severely frostbitten, and after that, she and her brother concealed your injuries, mistreat

Not long after, Ember received a text message from Atlas."Ember, can we meet?"I know I went too far before. I shouldn't have treated you that way…"But I understand now. I know I was wrong. Please, give me another chance, will you?"As Ember read the series of messages, her emotions were a mix of confusion and unease.Although she had no memory of Atlas, a peculiar feeling tugged at her heart. Deep down, she sensed that she might have known this man in the past.The blank space in her memory only intensified this nagging intuition.No matter what, she felt she needed to uncover the truth, and that meant meeting Atlas in person.With that thought in mind, she replied to him, "Let's meet.""What's wrong?" Forrest asked, noticing that she seemed to be preparing to leave. "Where are you going? Do you need me to take you?""No need. I'm just… going to meet someone."She looked at Forrest's warm and gentle gaze, and an uneasiness crept into her heart.What if Forrest got upset

Ember had taken extra attention in dressing up today.The year was coming to an end, and Forrest had invited her to watch a movie on New Year's Eve.She understood the significance of his invitation and felt the same warmth for the kind and gentle man.Whenever she was with Forrest, she felt relaxed and at ease. It was a sense of reliance she hadn't experienced since her parents passed away.The streets were aglow with neon lights by evening.Everywhere was festively decorated, bustling with life. Couples strolled by, hand in hand, adding to the lively atmosphere.Ember chose a long crimson dress paired with a wool coat to match the occasion, striking the perfect balance between playful charm and elegance.As gentle snowflakes began to fall from the sky, Ember instinctively reached out to catch them, only for a shadow to appear overhead.It was Forrest. He adjusted her scarf and tilted the umbrella toward her side in a natural gesture."Sorry, did you wait long?"His thoughtf

Ember found a job at a nearby flower shop. Although the pay wasn't high, she genuinely enjoyed it.Spreading beautiful things to others brought her happiness, and she made many new friends during her time working there."Good morning, Jenny," Ember greeted cheerfully as she entered the shop. The store owner, Jenny Alby, immediately pushed a plate of steaming hot pastries toward her."Here, try these—I made them myself today."After completing her prep work for the day, Ember received a delivery order. To her surprise, the address was right next door to her home.Carrying a bouquet of lilies, she arrived at the customer's door and pressed the doorbell."Sorry, I'll be there in a moment," said a bright, clear voice from inside.When the door opened, a handsome young man stepped out and took the bouquet from her hands."Thank you… Wait, is that you?" His tone shifted mid-sentence as the latter was half-tinged with surprise and delight.Ember looked up at him, feeling somewhat puz

After leaping from the balcony, Ember's consciousness seemed to plunge into a vast darkness. She looked around in confusion until a dazzling light appeared in the distance.A voice spoke to her, "Go on. Your wish is about to come true."She instinctively ran toward the light—and then opened her eyes.Where was she?She blinked as she stared up at a ceiling that felt both familiar and strange.Her body which had been dormant for so long was weak and sluggish. Struggling to sit up, she took in her surroundings.This was… her old room in the Sloane residence in Oceanus.Years ago, the family company and shares had been seized by greedy relatives after her parents died heroically. The house itself was auctioned off, leaving her homeless.But in the end, the property hadn't sold because it was too old and worn.Later… The family her parents had saved took pity on her and brought her into their home.Wait, what…Ember frowned sharply. The couple her parents had saved—what were the
