Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 1569

As Edmund caught the sight of this, the stabbing pain in his heart worsened. He gritted his teeth and stormed up to the couch, then grabbed Odette's wrist. "Let's go, Odette!" he barked.

However, Odette shook him off and snapped, "What are you doing? Why should I go with you?"

Panic flooded Edmund as he gaped at her incredulously. "Why? Are you seriously asking me that right now? Because you're my fiancee, that's why! H-How could you even hang around some other man and let him do all those things to you?"

Upon hearing this, she sputtered. "Didn't your family tell you, Edmund? The Sinclairs have officially canceled our engagement. From now on, our families have nothing to do with each other, and I have nothing to do with you!"

All the color drained from Edmund’s face. "N-No, that's not possible. It can't be! You're lying to me, aren't you, Odette? You must be! You told me you loved me, and that you wouldn't marry anyone else but me in this lifetime! How—I don't understand how you could call off our engagement just like that!" He clutched her wrist and tugged on her pleadingly, urging, "Is someone forcing you to do this, Odette? Did your family put you up to this? Tell me, Odette. Tell me!"

She tried to break away from him, but when she couldn't shake him off, she cried out anxiously, "Let me go, Edmund! I’m not lying to you, and no one is forcing me to do this. I'm the one who wanted to call off the engagement! I never even loved you in the first place! Can you please just leave me alone from now on?"

Edmund was as pale as a sheet as he stared at her in disbelief, desperate to wake up from this nightmare. "No!” he yelled in anguish. "No, this can't be! You told me you loved me! You said so yourself!"

"Even if I did, does it matter?" Odette scoffed. "I never meant it anyways. Do you really think I could love someone as unromantic as you, Edmund? As if!"

The words hit him like a ton of bricks. Ashen-faced, he stood in shock as he gaped at the woman in front of him with wide eyes.
