Chapter 575
Nolan did not deny it.
Strix held the chess piece in his hand, seeing that Nolan did not play his next move. “She hasn’t been doing too well in the past three years. Her biological father died in that accident, while she lost her baby. No one should be able to sustain such a severe blow.”
Nolan put his chess piece down, and his indifferent expression looked slightly moved. From the moment he had learned that she was pregnant with a child back then and that she had lost the child in that accident, he knew that he would be in her debt till the day of his demise.
If she had not been pushed away from his side in the first place, perhaps that incident would not have happened.
Strix looked at him. “Why? Hasn’t she forgiven you?”
Nolan retracted his gaze from the chessboard but did not answer the question as he looked elsewhere.
Strix took a look at the chessboard. “If she hadn’t forgiven you, she wouldn’t have put in so much effort to save you. I can see that she never gave up on you.”
Nolan exchanged gaze with him as his lips were tightly pursed.
The scar looked very deep. She had never let go of the
past, but he never really wanted to give up on her either.
Strix twisted the chess pieces with his fingers. “You forced her into leaving you just because you had been infected with the virus, and you didn’t want it to affect her. I can understand your actions.”
Having said that, Strix turned his head and looked out the window. “Back then, her mother left me because she didn’t want to burden me anymore too. She knew that she didn’t have much time left, and she didn’t want me to waste more of my time on her. As for me, I had failed to save her in time, and that’s a regret that I will never get past for the rest of my life. That’s why I don’t want Zee to follow in my footsteps.”
Nolan walked out of the study, and Maisie just so happened to enter the corridor.
She was surprised and walked forward with a bright smile. “Oh, what a rare thing to see, the legendary Mr. Goldmann actually came over in person.”
He smiled. “Of course, I have to come in person to inform Strix that I’m bringing my wife home.”
