Semua Bab Leaving You Bereft: Bab 61 - Bab 70

The other end of the line was silent for a long time. Willow's heart grew cold, and she could guess what Julian had chosen.She suddenly smiled. It wasn't like she was the love of Julian's life, after all. Why would he change his mind just because she was begging him? He had always been cold-hearted toward her.Eventually, Julian muttered, "I'm sorry, Willow."Catherine had attempted suicide, and her life was in danger. Only Leonard could save her. Julian had weighed the pros and cons and decided to send Leonard's student in his place.Once again, he made many promises to Willow, but she didn't process any of it. Her phone slipped from her hand. It felt like her world was crashing down.It turned out that she meant nothing to Julian. All the hard work she had put in over the years was meaningless compared to some young lady. Meeting him was rotten luck on Willow's part.The unexpected situation caught everyone off guard, and Dominic was more embarrassed than anyone. In an attempt

Julian wanted to say something.Suddenly, Jeffrey walked over. He grabbed Julian by the collar and shoved him against the wall, accosting, "She begged you. She, a woman so proud, cried and begged you in front of all those people."Julian, are you made of stone? If you had even the slightest bit of warmth in you, you wouldn't have forgotten that Willow is your wife. She's been by your side for four years."Is love really that important? Julian, do you even know what love is?"…Julian threw a punch in return.Jeffrey staggered back a few steps, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. He glared at Julian.This was the second time they had fought over Willow.Julian's chest rose and fell sharply. He pointed at Jeffrey and sneered. "Willow is my wife. Jeffrey, what right do you have to interfere in our private affairs?"Jeffrey let out a soft laugh. "I love her. Is that a good enough reason?"Off to the side, Heather froze.Afraid things would spiral out of control, she p

After getting married, Willow no longer wore white dresses. She switched to cold, formal business suits, accompanying him to various business events. She became the perfect daughter-in-law of the Ziegler family.Julian remained silent.Dominic was a wise man. He believed his grandson could still be saved. "Julian, think carefully. Love isn't a fixed asset that just sits there, never changing. People's hearts waver."Julian clenched his teeth. "Grandpa, you're right."Dominic got angry again. "Get up and go to the hospital to atone for your sins! Your wife won't forgive you so easily. With all her good qualities, why should she settle for you? What do you even have to offer?"Besides a few lousy dollars, do you have any real strengths? This pretty face of yours? Ha! There are plenty of good-looking male celebrities nowadays. Use your damn brain!"Julian nodded.He struggled to stand, and Dominic's attendant reached out to help him. "Mr. Julian, be careful."Julian blocked the ha

In the early hours of the morning, Willow woke up.The first thing she saw was Dominic's concerned face. His first words were, "Your grandma woke up. God must have been moved by your sincerity and pulled her back from the gates of hell overnight.""Really?"Willow leaned against the pillow, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.Dominic tucked her in and assured her, "It's true! Don't rush to move. There are professional doctors and nurses taking care of her over there. But you, child, need to rest properly."Your blood sugar was dangerously low. If Julian hadn't been with you, the consequences would've been unimaginable."Speaking of the devil, Julian pushed the door open and walked in.His gaze met Willow's.When the two met eyes, everything became indescribable. The grief and determination Willow had before burning the car felt like the flames by the river. It was still burning, refusing to fade.Even now, Julian's heart had yet to settle.After a long moment, he

The door opened, and Julian walked in.Willow knew it was him. With her back turned, she spoke in a detached tone, "Don't come here again. Playing the victim after what you've done is futile. No one cares for your fake sympathy."Julian stepped forward, trying to grasp Willow's shoulder, but she avoided him.His hand hovered in midair for a long moment before he finally said in a low voice, "I won't divorce you. Willow, we have an agreement.""I know. I signed for two years. Julian, if you insist on not getting a divorce, then I can wait. In the worst case, I'll take the money and the shares when the two years are up. It won't change the outcome."Willow looked completely indifferent.Julian's voice was heavy with pain. "Willow, it shouldn't be like this between us."Willow retorted, "Then, how should it be? Julian, besides money, what else is there between us?"…By evening, Willow needed to return to her apartment.As soon as she stepped out of the inpatient building, she s
