Please Give Me Another Chance, Mrs. Hamilton novel Chapter 611

Over the past six years, Nadine had poured her heart and soul into loving Brad. Even though he had never returned her feelings, she had never regretted it.

However, the moment she saw Jean clinging to Brad's arm in front of her, she realized just how foolish she had been. It dawned on her then that all the effort she'd put in had been for nothing. After failing to make Brad fall in love with her, her heart finally shattered.

Nadine started, "Babe, there was a famous philosopher who once said that a person often dies twice—once when they stop loving and once when they are no longer loved. When someone no longer loves or is no longer loved, they experience a kind of death. It's not a physical death, but a spiritual one.

"To stop loving someone means the heart has healed. Sure, there are still scars, but you've learned how to move forward on your own. It means you've stopped hoping to be loved, and you begin to understand that life is often about learning to live with oneself. Instead of resisting it, you accept and learn to coexist with it."

She continued, "Back when I first moved out of Phoenix Villa, I used to wake up in the middle of the night with this horrible pain in my chest. It hurt so bad that I couldn't sleep. Thus, I would flip through endless books, and that's when I came across this quote. It really spoke to me, so I tried to let go of Brad and accepted that I wasn't going to be loved.

"I kept repeating this quote to myself over and over until I got used to being alone. Now that I've finally adjusted to this life, the last thing I want is for someone, especially Brad, to mess it all up."
