Chapter 19

le suddenly remembered that over the years, whenever Evelyn was wronged, she never seemed to complain to him about her parents unfairness, only ccasionally showing a faint sense of disappointment.

ut now, hearing her parents talk about her marrying so far away in such a relaxed, even thankful tone, Theodore truly felt how utterly alone and helpless velyn must have been in that family.

nd he, the one person she had once relied on, had chosen to believe Maren time and time again, had hurt her and abandoned her for Maren’s sake time and me again…

huge wave of regret and bitterness surged up his throat, choking him so much he could barely speak.

or the first time, he understood so clearly what he had lost.

le hadn’t just lost a woman who loved him, he had lost a soul who, in a cold and loveless family, had seen him as her only warmth and salvation.

nd he, with his own hands, had extinguished that light.

he next morning, Theodore was jolted awake by the shrill ringing of his phone. A pounding headache from his hangover made him irritable. He grabbed the hone and answered curtly, “What is it?!”

in the other end, his assistant’s voice was filled with unprecedented tension and shock. “Mr. Harrison! Something huge has happened! We just got news from ie Ashworth family in the next state… their heir, Daniel Ashworth, the one who’s been in a coma for two years, is reportedly… showing signs of waking up!TM

What?!” Theodore shot up in bed, the sudden movement jarring his stomach and sending a sharp pain through him, but he barely noticed.

he phone slipped from his trembling hand, hitting the carpet with a thud and cracking the screen.

le only heard a ringing in his ears, as if the whole world were spinning and collapsing around him.

aniel Ashworth… was waking up?

he man he had once scoffed at, the man he considered a living corpse, the man who held the title of Evelyn’s husband, was actually waking up?

he first thought that entered his mind wasn’t the potential threat from a business rival, but–Evelyn.

Daniel woke up, what would happen to Evelyn? Would she still stay with the Ashworth family? Was she… about to completely belong to that man?

n unprecedented panic and a fierce jealousy, like a venomous snake, bit into his heart.

e couldn’t accept it. Evelyn could only be his. Even if he didn’t want her, no one else could truly have her.

mpossible! Is the information reliable?!” He roared at the already disconnected phone, as if that could deny the terrible truth.

1st then, the bedroom door opened gently, and Maren walked in with a glass of warm water, her face wearing its usual gentle and concerned expression Theodore, you’re awake? Does your head still hurt? Here, drink some water.”

heodore looked up, his gaze shooting toward Maren like a sharp arrow.

or some reason, seeing her gentle and submissive demeanor now didn’t stir his usual pity, but rather a strange sense of irritation and suspicion.

Ie thought about Snowball, about the suspicious circumstances surrounding her miscarriage and the alleged attack…

Its stare made Maren uneasy. She put down the glass of water, took a few steps closer, and gently took his hand, her voice a little timid and hesitant. “Theodore.

I think… I’m pregnant again.”
