Tonight Her Love Ended novel Chapter 16

Back then, Samuel had considered bringing Yvette into the company just to have her act as Nova's assistant—assuming Nova ever decided to snap out of it.

But now... forget it!

Completely unaware of his internal monologue, Nova lowered her head, staring at the dark screen of her phone. Her reflection stared back at her—bloated, covered in pregnancy spots. She didn't say another word.

The car eventually pulled up to the Regent's Spire. Pushing open the door to the private room, Nova's eyes immediately landed on Professor Mathew Sherwin, his hair completely white, sitting at the head of the table.

Her eyes immediately brimmed with tears.

"P-Professor..."

Mathew had prepared a stern, unforgiving face, but the moment he saw her tear-filled eyes, his defenses completely crumbled. "You! How could you be so foolish? Do you understand the consequences now? Have you finally suffered enough?"

He gave her shoulder a soft, trembling slap.

Sensing how deeply her mentor still cared for her, Nova dropped to her knees.

Watching the scene, Samuel only felt a surge of anger. If the Professor knew Nova was doing all this just to get Tristan's attention...

He regretted bringing her here. But considering the Professor's fragile health, he couldn't exactly expose the truth right now.

When he looked back at Nova, his frustration bled into his voice. "Nova, how can you face him after everything you've done?"

Mathew, advanced in age and overwhelmed with emotion, couldn't stop his own tears from falling. Seeing Nova sobbing on her knees, he suddenly remembered she was pregnant. He quickly waved at Samuel. "Hurry up and help her off the floor!"

Despite his anger, Samuel still cared for Nova. He pulled her to her feet and handed her a tissue.

Wiping his eyes, Mathew studied her closely. "What happened to you? Look at how much you've withered away! You're carrying a child, stop crying! As for the government project, leave it alone for now. Wait until you have the baby. Your health comes first! I'll personally talk to them and have them delay the project until you're ready!"

Looking at her gaunt, exhausted face, his heart broke. "You foolish girl!"

Mathew couldn't stop crying. He had always loved Nova like his own daughter!

Nova didn't try to hide the truth. Shaking her head, she said softly, "Professor, Samuel... my babies are gone."

Her words were quiet, but they hit the room like a boulder crashing into a calm lake.

In an instant, the only sound in the private room was the harsh intake of breath.

It felt like an eternity before Samuel finally processed the words. "What are you talking about? How could the babies be gone?"

Mathew gasped. "Nova, what happened? Tell me everything. Weren't you four months along?"

Seeing the sheer panic and worry in both of their eyes, Nova explained the car accident.

As she hit the floor hard, a blinding pain tore through her abdomen, draining every ounce of color from her face.

A massive, custom half-human-sized ice cream cake toppled entirely onto the gift box the waiter was holding. The priceless tiara resting atop the cake crashed onto the floor.

Diamonds, meant to symbolize eternal love, scattered everywhere.

"It's you! Are you blind? Watch where you're going!" The person leading the group immediately pinned the blame on Nova.

Sitting on the floor, Nova looked up and realized it was Yasmin Forrester.

Why was she here?

Before she could even process the question, Nova suppressed the agonizing pain and glanced at the security camera above. The red light was blinking—it was active, not a dummy. Just as she opened her mouth to defend herself, a hauntingly familiar voice rang out.

"What happened here?"

Her body instinctively locked up.

Before she even turned around, she heard Yasmin furiously complaining to the man behind her.

"I don't know why she's here, or if she did it on purpose, but the second she saw us coming, she shoved the door open and crashed right into this! She completely ruined the gift you bought for Yvette!"
