All Chapters of Leaving You Bereft: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

On Julian's third day in Yarrowmere, Willow went to the mall. Julian liked the shirts from Kitom, so she picked out two colors for him—black and dark gray. He rarely wore white shirts, and most of the time, his clothes were tailored.After she paid, the clerk started buttering her up. "You've got wonderful taste, Mrs. Ziegler. We're getting a new batch of clothes next week, so you have to come and take a look. Mr. Ziegler looks amazing in this brand."Willow smiled. "Of course, I will."Women tended to love shopping, and Willow was no exception. She wanted to invite Heather out for coffee but wasn't sure if Heather was busy.Just when she was about to make a call, she heard a joyful voice calling out to her. "Willow!"When she turned to look, she saw that it was Natalie and Jeffrey. Natalie had already forgotten what happened that night at the birthday dinner.Willow would buy her dessert, so Natalie was very fond of her. Most people said that eating too much dessert would cause

It was late at night, but Willow wasn't sleeping. She kept replaying what Julian had said to her in her head.He said that she was the only woman he had ever been with and that he wouldn't see any other women. He said he would learn to be a good husband and told her to trust him.Amidst the bright lights, Willow's face was calm as she thought, "Can I really trust you again, Julian?"Dark clouds were gathering outside the window, and thunder could be heard in the distance.For the next two days, Julian didn't call her. Willow wanted to stay nonchalant, so she didn't call him, either.On the third morning, Willow woke up early. When she went downstairs to have breakfast, Blair was stunned. "Are you going to the hospital to pay your grandmother a visit, Mrs. Ziegler?"Willow took a sip of milk and smiled. "Julian is coming back from a business trip, so I'm going to pick him up from the airport."Blair was overjoyed. "You two are so lovey-dovey."Willow didn't respond. Once she was

By the time they returned to Grandview Manor, it was already 4:00 pm. The black Mercedes MPV drove through the thick snow and stopped in the garage.Esther opened the door and helped Willow out of the car. Esther was worried and wanted to stay to take care of her, but Willow refused.Willow stood on the steps, looking up at the falling snow and muttering, "Nothing good ever comes out of worrying about a man."Esther didn't hear what she had said and wanted to ask about it, but Willow had already gone up the stairs. She was clearly freezing and in pain, but she still straightened her back, determined not to embarrass herself in front of someone else. Julian had stripped even her dignity away. Blair went over to help her inside, but Willow gently pushed her away. "I want to walk by myself."Blair couldn't help but start crying at the sight of Willow like that. "What happened to you, Mrs. Ziegler?"Willow hesitated for a moment before replying, "I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I wa

The snow in Brindley had melted, but Julian still had yet to return. When Willow checked the calendar, she realized it was already the 12th. That meant Cameron's concert would be at 8:00 pm that night.Willow suddenly felt like attending the concert alone, but Blair was worried about her. She nagged, "You just recovered. If you go out, you might catch a cold and fall sick again."Willow replied, "I'll wear a thick down jacket."Blair had no choice but to dig some thick clothes out of the closet and help Willow put them on. She even got a warm cashmere scarf and wrapped it around Willow's neck. "Get the chauffeur to drive you, or I'll tell Mr. Ziegler."Willow agreed. Five minutes later, she was sitting in the black RV. Once Benjamin Henderson, the chauffeur, knew where to go, he hit the gas.The black RV slowly drove out of Grandview Manor, leaving the lit house behind it as the neon lights of the city gradually appeared before it. The lights were in full bloom, filling the sky wi

On the day of the surgery, Julian still had yet to return. Dominic was furious and turned up to accompany her, showing how much he cared for her. Tyler, Liam, and Melanie were with him, too. All of them went to the hospital.Willow didn't care anymore. All she wanted to do was be with her grandmother. Julian could fend for himself.Dominic agreed and left the ward, leaving Willow and Grace alone. The warm yellow light illuminated Grace's hair, making each strand look smoother than ever.Grace was leaning against the headboard as she held Willow's hand. After being alive for so many years, she no longer feared death. She just couldn't bear to leave Willow alone. She was worried that Willow would be lonely, or that people would let her down.There were tears in Grace's eyes as she quietly told Willow about her dream the night before. "I saw my father coming to pick me up. He showed up in a white gilded carriage, and it was huge and luxurious. My father looked so young. He didn't have
