Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 615

A few minutes later, the elderly Erickson couple arrived.

The matriarch pushed Parker into the room in his wheelchair.

They exchanged a heavy, knowing look. They had already been fully briefed on the chaotic events of the past few days.

They had always known just how deeply their grandson was obsessed with Emilia.

Years ago, when Emilia had been hospitalized a second time because of her abusive stepfather, Absolon Foster, they hadn't known all the intricate details, but they had seen Tyler practically lose his mind.

If they hadn't stepped in, Tyler would have bypassed the justice system entirely and murdered Absolon with his bare hands.

Back then, Parker had pulled him aside and warned him, "If Absolon Foster dies mysteriously, how will you ever explain it to Emilia? If you end up behind bars because of that trash, who is going to protect her?"

That harsh logic was the only thing that had snapped Tyler out of his murderous rage. He had carefully orchestrated a flawless plan that put Absolon behind bars instead.

But now, watching Emilia slip away and move closer to Theodore...

And realizing that *he* was the one who had inflicted all of this unimaginable suffering on her...

How could Tyler possibly survive this?

"Tyler, what's the point of lying here like a corpse?" the matriarch scolded sharply.

Parker scoffed in agreement. "If you want her, then get up and steal her back! Don't just lie there staring into space!"

Tyler remained completely silent.

How could he possibly win her back?

After everything he had done to break her, how could she ever forgive him?

How was he supposed to steal back a woman whose heart he had utterly crushed?

The two elders continued to lecture him, but their words fell on deaf ears.

Tyler just kept staring blankly at the sterile ceiling.

Eventually, wondering if the nasty fall had caused permanent brain damage, his grandparents left to track down the head doctor.

Leaving Tyler entirely alone once again.

He lay perfectly still in the hospital bed.

The relentless, rhythmic beeping of the medical monitors echoed around him, deafening in the silence.

He stared up at the stark white ceiling, his eyes completely dead.

His body was in pure agony.

Every single inch of him throbbed with excruciating pain.

Slowly, he reached for his phone on the nightstand and opened his chat history with Emilia.

"Mr. Erickson, some people are easily replaced."

"But some people, once they decide to leave, will never look back."

...

Agony.

Pure, suffocating agony dragged him under.

He used to be so arrogant, so relentlessly confident.

From a young age, he had been fiercely decisive and ruthless.

Especially after successfully transforming The Erickson Group into the undisputed leader among Alden City's top three corporate giants, he genuinely believed he held the entire world in the palm of his hand.

He had never believed that anyone or anything on this earth could inflict this kind of excruciating pain on him.

But now, he knew better.

If he truly lost her, what was he supposed to do?

A single tear slipped from the corner of his eye and soaked into the crisp pillowcase.

He couldn't live without her.
