Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 1053

"My mom..."

Rebecca White was stunned, her grip on her coffee cup tightening involuntarily.

Had her mother really been to Sunhaven?

"Yeah."

Eddy nodded, understanding her confusion. "You probably don't remember..."

Back then, Rebecca White's mother had shown up unexpectedly.

After hearing about her daughter's troubles, she stayed by Rebecca's side, accompanying her to the hospital.

"The doctor said..."

Talking about the past was still painful for Eddy.

"Your health situation was quite unique, and if you terminated the pregnancy... it could mean you might never have kids again, so..."

So?

Rebecca White's heart sank as she pieced it together.

"In the end, we decided to keep the baby."

Eddy took a deep breath, speaking faster now.

"During that time, I had taken on an overseas project, so I left the country... Your mom stayed in Sunhaven to take care of you. When I got back, your belly was already flat."

Rebecca White's lips parted in silent shock.

Eddy's brow furrowed, as if he couldn't bear to continue.

"Your mom told me that when you were seven months pregnant, there was an accident, and the baby... didn't make it."

Rebecca White felt a sharp pain in her chest, her eyes closing as tears spilled onto her lashes.

"Rebecca."

Eddy looked at her, his voice gentle. "That's all I know..."

He was suffering too.

With a bitter smile, he confessed, "I overestimated myself... couldn't let you go, yet couldn't forget what happened."

His eyes reddened, "In the end, I hurt you for so many years..."

His Adam's apple bobbed as he spoke earnestly, "Rebecca, I'm sorry... I'm so sorry."
