Chapter 1040 - Not everything can be achieved simply through effort.
“If I were him who loved you, I’d never let you suffer even a scratch or feel hurt.”
The air in the ward fell into an eerie silence the moment he said this.
This silence seemed to be filled with awkwardness and… jealousy.
“If he truly loved you, no matter what, he’d never have anything to do with that woman, much less make her pregnant with his child, so I advise that you leave this place. You deserve a better life.”
As though he did not notice that air turning still, he continued speaking.
“Work, overseas visa—you need not worry about all this. I’ll prepare everything for you as long as you agree.”
“…”
The man fell silent for some time as he met her glistening yet hopeful eyes. He then lightly extricated his arm out of her hands.
“…Sorry.”
This apology made her feel like a criminal awaiting her final verdict and punishment—her heart stopped beating.
The only words that could describe her current feelings were ‘a heart akin to dead ashes’.
The light in her eyes instantly lost their luster and dimmed.
“After all these years, in your heart, am I only worth this once word of ‘sorry’ to you…”
She raised her head to look at him with a desolate expression.
“I’m sorry. I don’t want to hurt you, but… not everything can be achieved simply through effort.”
