+ Chapter 3
I was holding a bucket, getting ready to fetch water for cleaning, when I passed by the study and heard a sound coming from inside.
“Juliana is back now, you’re not getting divorced, what is Katrina supposed to do?” Lena’s voice came through..
After a while, Zavier said, “She still holds shares of her father’s company in her hands, and now the divorce is detrimental to my position in the company.”
“Alright then, wait until you receive the shares before leaving. But when do you plan to tell her about her father’s passing?”
Father, passed away?
These few words were like a bolt from the blue, and I couldn’t accept them for a moment.
Katrina saw me standing in front of the door and asked, “Juliana, do you have something to do? Why aren’t you going in?”
I slowly turned around, took a deep breath, and tried to calm myself down as I asked, “When did my father pass away?”
My heart seemed to be bleeding.
“Your father passed away half a month after you were imprisoned,” Katrina said nonchalantly.
Zavier came out of the study and saw my appearance. He was about to speak, but he realized that something was off with me.
I grabbed Zavier’s arm and trembled as I asked, “You promised to take care of my father, how could he have passed away?” How I wished that none of this was true.
A trace of reluctance flickered in Zavier’s eyes.
Katrina whispered in my ear, “Juliana, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. That day, when I went to see Uncle Lin, I accidentally told him that you had been imprisoned, and I didn’t expect it to upset him.”
I could no longer control the pain in my heart and shouted at Katrina, “Why did you provoke my father? He has a heart condition, why are you so cruel? You have everything, why won’t you let me go?”
Zavier protected Katrina and said, “Juliana, enough is enough. Your father has already passed away. Don’t blame others for his misfortune, blame his own luck.”
couldn’t believe that Zavier would say such heartless words. He used to be like a family to me, my father. How could he be so indifferent?
I shouted with red eyes, “Zavier, are you still human? You are not qualified to speak ill of my
father.”
It was his father who gave him the opportunity in the first place. Without his father, how could he have what he has today?
Katrina came over and took my hand, saying, “Juliana, it’s all my fault. Don’t be mad at Zavier
anymore.”
I let go of her hand, I took the blame for her, why didn’t she let me go?
I didn’t owe them anything, it was they who wronged me, but now I had become a sinner.
I didn’t use much force, but Katrina still fell down and scraped her arm.
zavier pushed me aside and rushed to Katrina’s side, carefully protecting her.
“Juliana, you went too far. This is not the place for you to act recklessly. Apologize to Katrina.”
I was pushed by him and hit the wall, feeling a sharp pain in my back and my stomach churned.
I held my stomach and slowly squatted down, cold sweat pouring out.
Zavier was about to come over and accuse me, but when he saw me in pain, he asked, “What happened to you?”
I was in so much pain that I couldn’t speak.
Katrina looked at Zavier with a nervous expression and said, “Zavier, Juliana doesn’t want to apologize, it’s fine. I’m okay, just my arm hurts a little.”
Zavier glanced at me and picked up Katrina, then walked out. “I’ll take you to the hospital.”
He walked away without any hesitation, without a trace of nostalgia.
I was in so much pain that my consciousness became blurred, as I watched him carry Katrina away
“Zavier, I really didn’t want to love you anymore, I was giving up on you.”
After speaking, a surge of blood taste rose in his throat, his vision turned black, and he lost
consciousness.
