Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom novel Chapter 251

The hospital room was awash in a cold, unforgiving light.

Adah's hair was wild, her whole presence teetering on the edge of madness.

Bloodshot eyes blazing, she hurled herself at Nathan Linwood, hands clawing for his face like sharpened talons. She cursed him in a broken, guttural voice: "Nathan, you heartless bastard! I swear, I'll destroy you today!"

Her words rasped with desperation, every syllable laced with anguish.

She had already lost everything. The happiness she once cherished had shattered like glass—gone in an instant, leaving nothing but emptiness.

Thirty years. For thirty years, her love had flowed, gentle and constant as a spring stream. Not once had she wavered.

Even when he'd "accidentally" lost their daughter all those years ago, she had never blamed him. Night after night, she wept in the darkness alone, burying her pain deep inside, never breathing a word of reproach.

But what had he done in return?

He had personally driven their family into ruin, leaving her battered, broken, utterly alone. How could he be so merciless?

Nathan sucked in a sharp breath as her nails raked across his cheek.

He grabbed her wrists, but Adah fought with the fury of a cornered lioness—her strength was wild, relentless, impossible to restrain.

Crimson welts bloomed on his face, blood trickling slowly down his jaw.

"Adah Jones Linwood, have you lost your mind?!" Nathan shouted, voice cracking.

"Lost my mind?" Adah's laugh was sharp and broken, heavy with despair and hatred. "Yes, I have! You made sure of that, you monster! You destroyed my family—how dare you ask if I've gone crazy?"

For a moment, something flickered in Nathan's eyes. He hadn't expected Adah to uncover the truth about what happened all those years ago.

But he quickly composed himself, masking his shock with a look of wounded confusion. "I don't know what you're talking about. You're not making any sense."
