They celebrated her rescue No one noticed novel

Chapter 4 When I woke up, someone was holding my right hand. I turned my head. Ethan was asleep beside my pillow, his fingers wrapped tightly around mine. I tried to pull away. He woke instantly. The moment he saw my eyes open, relief washed over his face. "Evelyn, you're awake. How do you feel? Are you in pain? I..." I cut him off. "Ethan. I want a divorce." The relief on his face froze. I continued calmly. "I'm not being dramatic. I'm serious." His grip tightened. "Di... divorce?" His voice shook. "No. Evelyn, no. I don't want that. I know I was wrong. I swear I do.

I didn't know you were really pregnant." His composure shattered. He dropped to the side of the bed and started slapping his own face. "Evelyn, this is my fault. I spoke without thinking. I hurt you." His eyes were red. "I already made Vanessa terminate the pregnancy. I'll cut her off completely. Please, Please don't divorce me." That expression. Those familiar red-rimmed eyes. They pulled me back into the past. Chapter 4 3.51% The day after I cried in his arms, I left the country alone. I didn't tell him. I didn't tell anyone. I had already given up on my biological parents.

And Ethan's love scared me too much to accept. I never expected him to come after me. Back then, the Sterling family had arranged a strategic marriage for him. On the day of the meeting, he disappeared halfway through. They froze all his cards and told him they wouldn't restore them unless he came home. By the time he found me burning with fever, he was completely broke. To pay for my medical bills, he sold the only thing his grandmother had ever left him. A gemstone pendant he had worn for eighteen years. Even in his sleep, he never took it off.

When I learned the truth, I cried and called him an idiot. He cried too. But he was smiling. "My grandma wouldn't blame me," he said. "She'd know this was me using her gift to save my future wife." I had been abandoned too many times. As a child, my parents always chose my brother. When I had a fever and asked for a hug, I got slapped and sent back to chores. Later, I discovered my biological parents weren't who I thought. I ran to them full of hope. And once again, they chose the fake heiress. Chapter 4 3.51% No one had ever chosen me without hesitation. No one. Except Ethan.

That was when his love stitched my broken heart back together. So I fell again. And reality punished me for it. This time, I was truly afraid. Too afraid to ever trust promises again. Over the next few days, Ethan acted like he had gone back in time. He stayed beside me while I slept. Fed me personally. Even washed my feet. If he saw beautiful clouds, he sent photos. He kept video calls running while he worked late, just so I wouldn't feel alone. He even brought me on business trips. But I remained silent. I didn't reply. I didn't answer. I ignored every attempt at reconciliation.

Our roles had completely reversed. Then, a month later, after I rejected him again, Ethan finally lost his patience. His expression darkened. "Evelyn Vance, do you really have to take things this far?" Chapter 4 3.51% "Yes, I cheated," he admitted. "But tell me, among successful men in our world, who doesn't make mistakes?" "I stayed faithful to you for seven years. I.just wanted something new. Why can't you try to understand that?" I looked at him calmly. "If you want me to understand," I said quietly, "that's simple." "We get divorced." 404 Santiago
