Three years of loving him, three days to erase myself from his world novel Chapter 325

Yet at the same time, staring intently at the third message, she couldn't help but fall deep into thought.

Everything that went down on the day of the competition was a joint sabotage masterminded by Seraphina and Xavier. Julian wasn't the one secretly pulling the strings to protect her.

Julian hadn't lied to her after all. He had been telling the absolute truth.

In that very moment,

A tiny, heavily fortified corner of Clara's heart quietly caved in.

...

The next day.

As soon as Clara woke up, she saw a message from Julian waiting for her:

[Clara, a critical project out in Northampton just blew up, and I have to fly out to handle it personally. I won't be able to come see you for the next couple of days. Text me if you need absolutely anything.]

The sheer devotion radiating from the man practically bled through the screen.

Clara reread the message twice, lightly biting her bottom lip before typing out a measured, restrained reply:

[I'm perfectly fine here. Focus on your work.]

Julian: [Work doesn't even come close to how important you are.]

Clara's cheeks exploded with heat, and her heart began hammering violently against her ribs. Too flustered to reply, she threw the phone aside and practically leaped out of bed to wash up.

Afterward, she simmered a pot of hearty chicken broth, threw on a fresh outfit, and headed out to the hospital to check on her nephew and sister.

...

The hospital.

Thanks to the meticulous treatment plan laid out by the specialist team and the devoted round-the-clock care from the private nurses,

Miles's condition had improved dramatically. All he needed was a little more rest until the new heart donor arrived, and then he could finally undergo surgery, ending his agonizing torment once and for all.

Seeing Clara walk in,

Miles obediently called out a sweet greeting.

Clara smiled brightly. She walked over, gently stroking his cheek, and showered him with concern before popping open the thermos to pour him a steaming bowl of broth.

Watching from the sidelines, Rosalie noticed her sister's glowing complexion. A persistent smile tugged at the corners of Clara's lips, clearly broadcasting a phenomenal mood, prompting Rosalie to arch an eyebrow.

"What amazing thing happened to put you in such a great mood?"

Miles chimed in, teasing like a miniature adult, "Clara, what's going on? You look totally different today than you usually do!"

Children were innocent, yet incredibly perceptive.

He absorbed all her joys and sorrows. Today, she was completely transformed from the exhausted woman who had dragged herself to their house just a few days ago. She looked utterly refreshed and radiant!

Clara froze, suddenly realizing she had been grinning like an idiot the entire time.

What was she so happy about?
