He had absolutely no idea what had happened to her hands.
He had scoured the entire city, crossed mountains and rivers, pouring infinite effort into air-freighting the world's most elite art supplies just to present them to her, just to get her to look at him.
He never realized that the treasures he offered with his own two hands were, to her, the most agonizing form of torture.
Gideon's towering figure began to shake violently. All color drained from his face in an instant, leaving him ashen.
It felt as if his heart was being brutally ripped from his chest; the pain made it impossible to breathe.
All strength vanished from his legs.
He folded over, his knees hitting the floor as he collapsed heavily to the ground.
He reached out with his large hands, gently, so carefully, cradling Nora's faintly spasming hands.
He didn't even dare apply pressure, terrified that the slightest touch would cause agony to those deformed joints.
Large, scalding tears spilled from his bloodshot eyes, dropping without warning onto the scarred backs of her hands.
"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."
Kneeling on the floor, he buried his head deeply into her palms.
His voice was a broken, tragic wreck, laced with incomprehensible guilt and heartbreak.
"It's my fault I didn't protect you..."
With his head bowed, he repeated those words over and over again.
He sobbed, his tears soaking her fingers. "I'm sorry, I didn't know... I didn't know it was like this..."
Nora stared coldly down at the man kneeling at her feet.
He was actually blaming himself.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Love I Begged For Was Never Real
Storyline is good..but author is wasting time on character's thoughts.why r u streching chapters it's really really boring and annoying.conversation between them childish.she is only saying him get out n what right do u have ..not telling him what he did to her not questioning him..demanding answer. And what happened to him why sudden change of heart care to explain author.....
For the past few chapters either she is sick or he is. It is slightly boring. Author pls let them talk about the issues , she is not at all scolding him.. every scoldings are playing in her mind only. We want some talk between them....
I am also thinking the same....
Has he mistaken Nora as Giselle?...
What happened to him🤔 did he forget everything?...
Hey can u also upload the book " woke up married to my cheating ex"....
Does he know the orphan girl is actually Nora?...
So is he trying to justify everything? At wat rite??? Wer were he wen she needed him the most.......
Haha finally going to see redemption...
I don’t think reborn will happen in this novel. It will be full of her blood only. Actually The title should be changed to only Nora’s suffering instead the love I begged was never real....
