All Chapters of Till the End of a Loveless Vow: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

At Riverview Villa, before Felix even stepped out of the car, Stella came rushing toward him, her face full of sorrow.She collapsed into his arms, sobbing. “Felix, how could Luna do this? Lily was just a child! She was a mother too. How could she be so cruel?”Her beauty was even more striking with tears streaming down her face, the kind that would make anyone feel pity for her.But Felix wasn’t in the mood for comfort. He gently pushed her away and asked, “What’s the story with the cornea? Is it really yours?”His dark eyes locked onto hers, and he pointed at his left eye.Stella’s sobs caught in her throat, and for a brief moment, panic flashed in her eyes.Why was Felix asking about this all of a sudden?But she quickly composed herself. Her tear-streaked face tilted up toward him, full of frail innocence. “Felix, the doctors explained everything back then, didn’t they? And for all these years, my left eye hasn’t been right. If it weren’t for you helping me with the treatmen

In the study of Riverview Villa, the large computer screen displayed video footage, playing segment by segment.On the screen, an old wooden cabin stood quietly by the lake, with a willow tree beside it. The long branches swayed in the wind, making a soft rustling sound. On that late autumn afternoon, the sound was strangely calming.Felix didn’t know how long he had been watching when, finally, a young woman appeared on the screen. Instantly, he sat up straight, his eyes locking onto her.Closer and closer she came, until her face became clear.It wasn’t her.Like a massive weight being lifted off his chest, Felix exhaled deeply and leaned back in his chair, pressing his fingers hard against his temples.This was more exhausting than closing a billion-dollar deal.The cabin remained eerily still. Time seemed to have passed it by without leaving a trace.Felix stared at the screen, but his mind began to wander.“Look, Luna!” A young boy’s voice echoed in his memory. He remov

Morning sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, casting a golden hue across the room.Felix slowly opened his eyes on the European-style bed, feeling disoriented. For a brief moment, he couldn’t even remember where he was. His gaze fell on a framed photo by the bedside.It had been taken at sunset by a creek in the countryside."Come on, just one smile!" Luna had begged, holding up a finger, her face full of playful innocence.Faced with such a joyful Luna, Felix’s heart had softened in an instant.The shutter clicked, freezing the moment in time.In the photo, Luna clung to his arm, grinning at the camera, while he looked down at her, his smile soft and gentle.It was the only photo they ever had together.A bitter smile tugged at Felix’s lips.They had been married for five years, but he had never even taken a proper wedding photo with her.Back then, his heart had been consumed by hatred. Every second spent with her felt like torture.Each time he saw her laug

On the 28th floor of City Center Tower, the floor-to-ceiling windows provided a panoramic view of the city. Felix stood by the window, a cigarette between his fingers, lost in thought.A man with glasses stood in front of the desk, his head slightly bowed. “Mr. Lincoln, based on the samples you provided, we’ve thoroughly tested the DNA sequences. The results show that the child’s DNA is complete and accurate. The only way there could be a mismatch is if the child was never yours or Ms. Stella’s in the first place.”Felix turned around, his expression unreadable. “How accurate are these results?”The light from the window outlined Felix’s sharp figure, casting his face in shadow. His emotions were impossible to read, making him seem even more formidable.The man had expected this question. After a brief hesitation, he placed the report on the desk. “Mr. Lincoln, with today’s medical technology, the chance of error in a DNA test is extremely low.”“I just need to know how low,” Feli

In a nearby city, Golden Bay Gardens, the street was deserted, not a soul in sight. Occasionally, the wind stirred, sending leaves swirling through the air. One gently landed on a young man’s head.He reached up, plucking the leaf between his pale fingers. As the sunlight filtered through the leaf, a smile, warmer than the sun itself, spread across his face.Bailey glanced at the takeout in his hand, his smile growing even softer as he walked toward his destination.He stood at the door of Apartment 301, Building 6, and pressed the doorbell. Footsteps hurried inside.“I’m coming,” a familiar, cheerful voice called. The door opened, revealing Luna’s smiling face.Bailey stepped inside, placing the takeout on the dining table, moving with a practiced ease. “Luna, how are the kids doing? Any discomfort today?” he asked softly.Luna rubbed her temples, looking exhausted but smiling gently. “No, the baby was good today. Lily, too. But seeing her take so much medicine at such a young a
