Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 1137

Chapter 1137 Getting Sick (4)

After she finished speaking, she looked at him seriously. Her eyes showed no sign of deception, and it seemed like she really wanted to divorce him.

Elliot felt irritated and tugged at the buttons on his collar. He unbuttoned two of them and took a deep breath. Even his stomach began to ache as anger slowly crept into his heart.

For the first time, he didn't explode in anger but instead looked at her with equal seriousness. "Why do we have to get divorced? We can still move forward without getting divorced, Rose. The past is behind us now; we can have a future together--"

"There is no future," Rose interrupted him before he could finish speaking. She didn't directly express her surprise or anger towards Elliot. "We won't have a future together anymore. Everything from when I left became part of the past for me, including my feelings for you, Elliot."

"You have a child and another woman that you love; it's not right for us to keep entangling ourselves like this anymore," Rose continued calmly but firmly, "I don't want things between us to be like they were before... Do you understand what I mean?"

"I don't understand! Rose, the only woman I've ever loved is you!" Elliot growled lowly as if he was enraged by her words; his demeanor was intense and powerful enough that even Rose's eyelids twitched along with her heart.

"It has always been you! What are you thinking? I don't like Madeleine; I've only ever liked one person--you!"

When Elliot had surgery in the hospital under anesthesia earlier on, all he could control was probably just his mind.

At that moment, he suddenly thought about every little thing they had experienced during this period of time together.

They met again after being apart for so long and argued endlessly over various issues until their faces turned red from yelling at each other before finally parting ways without reconciling.

But these scenes weren't what he wanted.

What Elliot had always wanted was for her to return to him so they could start anew together rather than meeting up again just so she could ask for a divorce as if coming back into his life meant nothing more than ending their marriage.

Elliot didn't know what she was thinking exactly nor did he want to admit how much these thoughts weighed on him right now but one thing's certain - He felt that she was slipping further away from him with each passing moment which wasn't something that sat well with him either way...

The emotions that had been suppressed within himself inexplicably erupted outwards all at once towards Rose - full of excitement mixed with anticipation yet gentleness too - everything came pouring out all at once without any restraint whatsoever...

"I miss you, I miss you being alive, and I also miss the countless times when you waited for me to come back home. It has always been you that I like, Rose," Elliot said with a trembling voice. He looked at her helplessly and spoke earnestly about what he thought he could never say in his lifetime.

Rose was startled at first, but as she heard his words clearly, her heart went from disbelief to suspicion and expectation little by little. Even she couldn't control the tears welling up in her eyes.

Elliot was not someone who would speak from his heart or say these things to a woman.

But when he lay on the operating table, he inexplicably thought of one possibility.

If Rose divorced him again and left him once more, then he would really lose her forever.

What would happen if such a situation occurred?

Could he accept her leaving him again?

The answer was obvious - it was impossible. He didn't want this kind of situation to happen. Therefore, under these circumstances, he had to make sure that she willingly stayed with him by his side.

"... What did you say?" Rose trembled as she spoke out loud. "Did I hear correctly?"
