Все главы A Love Meant to Crumble: Глава 121 - Глава 130

Anne hesitated before finally answering, only to hear desperate sobbing on the other end."Miss, I got hit by a car! The driver just sped off, and my stomach hurts so bad. Please come save me!""You…" Anne was momentarily stunned. "Call the emergency line!""I'm scared… I don't dare call. It's so dark here, and I'm all alone."Anne took a deep breath. "Send me your location."An hour later, Anne arrived by cab in a narrow alley behind the intercity bus station. Lazy Cat was huddled in a corner, covering her mouth as she sobbed quietly.Seeing Anne, she burst out crying. "Miss, I think I'm going to lose the baby!"Anne told her to calm down first. She quickly checked for any bleeding and then asked a few questions before helping her to her feet. "Let's get you to the hospital first."At the hospital, they needed to register first, so Anne helped her fill out the paperwork."What's your name?"The young woman was still crying softly, clearly shaken by the ordeal.Anne comforte

Harvey carefully dried Anne off, then patiently blow-dried her hair. It took time and effort, but he made sure her hair was completely dry before carrying her back to bed."Are you hungry?" he asked, kissing her softly.Anne nodded. After the ordeal with Lilian at the hospital, then getting dragged around at the hotel, plus skipping dinner, she was definitely starving."Wait here."He brought a piece of cake from the fridge and fed her a bite himself."Does it taste good?"Still lying lazily on the bed, Anne nodded. "I'll feed myself.""But are you satisfied with my 'performance' just now?" Harvey asked with a wink and a grin.Anne blushed. "It was… fine.""If you're satisfied, reward me by letting me feed you this cake, okay?"Anne chuckled and gave in. "Alright."He pulled her into his arms and began feeding her bite by bite."I made a special trip to Albryn just to get this cake. It's their signature taro cheesecake—it's your favorite."Just as Anne took another bite, h

"Fine. I'll just wait for him in my room," Lilian grumbled.Still fuming, Harvey gave her a light smack on the back of the head. "Sure, keep being a drama queen!"On the way downstairs, Lilian noticed Anne wrapped up in a scarf and asked what was going on.Anne explained she had an allergic reaction to taro cheesecake. Lilian immediately pouted in frustration. "Uncle Harvey is so biased! I'm the one who loves taro cheesecake, but he won't get it for me! He only remembers you!"Harvey glanced back at her. "Oh, right. It was you who liked taro cheesecake."Anne laughed. "How do you mess up something like that?"Harvey chuckled awkwardly. "Taro is officially blacklisted now. I'm done with it."Lilian clicked her tongue and muttered, "Taro's innocent…"Back in the hotel room, Anne finally pieced together the full story.Lilian had gone to Stockmere for college, where she started dating her classmate, Stolas. They fell in love, and one thing led to another—Lilian ended up pregnan

Suddenly remembering Lilian, Anne sat up in a panic."Lilian's still outside!"Worried that Harvey might say something to upset Lilian further, she told him to stay in the room while she got dressed and went out.The living room was empty. After searching the entire suite, she finally found Lilian on the terrace.Feeling a little guilty, Anne tightened her coat and stepped outside, only to realize Lilian was video-calling someone."Stolas, you bastard! You really have the nerve to break up with me at a time like this? You're giving up on me and the baby, too? You coward! Fine! We're done! Don't ever let me see your face again!"Lilian ended the call and collapsed to the floor, sobbing.Anne sighed and went over to help her up. She guided the tearful girl back inside and wrapped a blanket around her."Go ahead and cry if you need to," Anne said softly.Lilian glanced at her before buying her face and letting it all out. She cried for a long time until it seemed like there were

Harvey looked confused. "Uh… A few thousand, I guess.""I left you a message in one of them.""What?""If you want to know, you'll have to search for it," Anne said, grinning mischievously.Harvey's gaze darkened. "And if I find it, what's the reward?"Anne leaned in and whispered, "Tonight, I'm all yours."Harvey immediately pulled her into a kiss. "Consider that a down payment."Then, Harvey started searching—one bookshelf at a time, checking every page of every book.Anne sat cross-legged on the cashmere rug, watching him seriously and patiently do something so silly just for her.She realized she was selfish. She wanted Harvey to belong to her completely, heart and soul, leaving no room for anyone else.As Harvey had said, there were thousands of books here, and finding the one she'd written in felt nearly impossible. The sky grew dark, yet he kept going.Anne started feeling guilty. She wanted to tell him to stop, but she was also reluctant to give up.Harvey showed no
