For sixteen long years, Eulalia Clearwater gave everything to Percival Dunraven, her first and only love, only to be cruelly pushed aside for his new infatuation. Percival believed that without Eulalia, a world of happiness awaited him, a fresh start with a new love. But when he stumbled upon Eulalia's devastating medical diagnosis, panic set in. Rushing to her side, he found her hand entwined with another's, her eyes filled with a resolve he had never seen before. "Why didn't you tell me about your stomach cancer?" he demanded, his voice trembling with fear and regret. Eulalia's response was a bitter laugh, her eyes gleaming with a mixture of pain and liberation. "Didn't you wish for my early demise?" she mocked. "Percival Dunraven, in the final moments of my life, I no longer want to love you."
View MoreEulalia stood silently, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. "Why are you treating me like this?""I don't want to, but I have to do this to keep you," he said.Eulalia knew he was determined to terminate the pregnancy. Her emotions fluctuated rapidly, her complexion growing worse."What if I stay by your side obediently?" she asked hoarsely. "Can we keep the baby?"Percival shook his head, silently mouthing "No."This child was hers, a life within her, her solace. Eulalia couldn't understand why Percival would rather adopt from an orphanage than have her bear their child. Did he despise her that much?Eulalia's gaze drifted to the corridor outside and the windows of the hospital room. Percival immediately understood her thoughts from her actions."We're on the twelfth floor; you can't escape. I'll have someone watch you until you go through with the abortion," he declared.Such heartless words from a man who once claimed to love her more than his own life—how ridiculous.The
Eulalia was pregnant, and Percival was completely unprepared. He had taken precautions every time—how could Eulalia possibly be pregnant?Where had he gone wrong? Percival calculated the time; during that period, Eulalia had always been by his side, without any chance to go out alone. The only time she went out was to the hospital, and he had even had someone follow her then.Leaning his head against the wall, Percival thought, Eulalia cannot have this child, neither from the perspective of her health nor the state of their relationship.Thinking of the child that was about to be terminated, Percival’s eyes reddened, his heart twisted in agony, pain making it hard to breathe.Mr. Brooks also learned of Eulalia’s pregnancy. He looked at Percival and asked sternly, "Do you want this child?""I can't keep it." It wasn't a question of desire but of necessity."Her body can’t handle the pregnancy, can it?"If they decided to keep the child, Eulalia might pay with her life."How will you te
Madeline's face changed. First, she looked at Sebastian in a panic, then turned to Aurora and stammered, "What truth? What does your mother's death have to do with me? I don’t know... I know nothing..."Aurora sneered and said, "You don’t know? Then we have nothing to talk about. Someone, escort Lady Madeline out!"Immediately, a servant came in and pulled Madeline away. This was no longer Madeline’s house, but Aurora's. When she said for Madeline to leave, no one would defy her order.Madeline struggled and cried out, "Wait! Let go of my daughter!""I said I would release her, but only if you tell me the truth."Madeline immediately fell silent. Aurora lost her patience and commanded, "Get her out!"The servant dragged Madeline towards the door. Just as they were about to exit, Madeline suddenly broke free, ran back, and threw herself at Aurora's feet, yelling, "I’ll tell! I’ll tell! Just let her go!"Aurora coldly sat back down on the sofa and demanded, "Speak! What exactly is the t
Lies have their shades of good and evil, and Eulalia didn't believe the lies Percival spun were benign.A hollow smile played on her lips, not reaching her eyes, which were desolate, making her smile uglier than tears."You love me, so you want to turn me into a fool?" Eulalia's eyes were blurred with tears. "You're so afraid of me regaining my memory, how can you expect me not to dwell on the past?"She shook her head, staggering backward step by step. The man before her seemed to have lost all humanity, a devil crawled out from hell."All I want to ask now is, who is Vincent?"Hearing this name, Percival panicked, feeling the thing he feared most closing in on him, with no way out.Eulalia, seeing Percival's flustered expression, seemed to understand something. Her smile deepened into a bitter grimace."Is he dead?"Silence was taken as affirmation."He must have been very important to me, otherwise why would I dream of him so often?" Eulalia mumbled hoarsely.Her intuition told her
At the breakfast table, Eulalia ate her meal absentmindedly, appearing as usual on the surface, but she could sense something was changing.In the morning, Mr. Brooks came to check on Eulalia, greeting her like an old friend he hadn't seen in a long time, asking how she had been recently."I'm fine." The two hadn't seen each other for weeks, and Percival hadn't given Mr. Brooks much opportunity to chat with Eulalia.After lunch, as everyone returned to their tasks, Eulalia took her stomach medicine, which made her a bit sleepy."You should sleep if you're tired."Eulalia softly hummed in agreement, rubbing her misty eyes—she usually took a nap at this time, sleeping whenever she could.After watching Eulalia go to bed, Percival and Mr. Brooks entered the living room."What did you call me here for this time?" Mr. Brooks casually asked as he sat down."Do you have any drugs that can control dreams?" asked Percival, his expression serious.Mr. Brooks stiffened slightly, "What do you mea
Percival heard a scream from the bathroom and immediately rushed in. For a moment, seeing Eulalia lying on the floor felt like a heavy blow to his soul.Before his mind could even react, he had hurriedly picked her up and taken her to the nearest hospital.The medical results were not optimistic. Eulalia had always been frail, her stomach deteriorating step by step despite the use of the world's top cancer treatments which only offered relief, not a cure.The candied hawthorn had nearly cost her her life; she was allergic to hawthorn.Percival remembered how Eulalia loved those candied hawthorns, yet he had never seen her eat them.---Eulalia lay in bed and had that dream again that night, clearer than ever before. She could hear a man's voice.A man in a white shirt approached her with a candied hawthorn: "Here's a candied hawthorn for you, little crybaby. Eat it, and no more tears..."She heard it distinctly, and it was not Percival's voice.Who was the man in her dream?In a daze,
No doubt about it, Percival has a handsome face, with deep, peach blossom eyes that curl up at the corners, giving you the illusion he's deeply in love with you when he looks your way.Despite having a face that screams romance, his lips are thin. She once read online that people with this type of lips are naturally heartless, even capable of being cruel to those they love.When she mentioned that he "looks good in a white shirt," Percival's hand, which was holding a newspaper, twitched. "I look even better in a white shirt?" he asked.Eulalia nodded affirmatively.He smirked, "Then I'll wear that from now on just for you."Percival had many haute couture shirts. When he opened his wardrobe, there were actually more dark shirts, which he preferred.Eulalia couldn't help but think more when she said, "White shirts look good." It reminded her of Vincent, who often wore white.After breakfast, Eulalia found the pet backpack and zipped up Misty, who curiously snuck inside. Once Misty got
For a moment, she felt all her strength drained, as if she was nothing but a walking corpse, a hollow emptiness spreading through every corner of her body. She was anxious and her head began to ache. She thought about jumping out of the window, as if that was the only way she could meet the man from her dream.Suddenly, a hand caressed her cheek, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Had a nightmare?"Eulalia, with a sobbing voice, affirmed, "Mhm," and then she flung herself into Percival's arms, clutching the bedsheet tightly, drawing warmth from his body.She trembled uneasily, leaving Percival momentarily at a loss, "What kind of nightmare made you cry like this?""I dreamt I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor told me I had stomach cancer."Fortunately, it was still dark outside, hiding the change in Percival's expression."Dreams are the opposite of reality; you had such a nightmare because you had a gastroscopy today."Eulalia just nodded in agreement.
Percival said the reason they couldn't have kids was because of him, but he always took precautions. She thought it was odd but didn't pry, worried she might hurt his pride.Eulalia put the condom on the bed, then went out to borrow a needle from Hayak... She had a gut feeling Percival was hiding something from her. If he wouldn't spill, she'd find out herself—truth can't be hidden forever.At four in the afternoon, Percival texted her that he’d be working late and not to wait up for dinner.Eulalia texted back a simple "Okay."With Percival out, Eulalia had dinner but wasn't in the mood for a walk. After sitting on the sofa for a bit to digest, she headed to the bedroom to wash up.She lay in bed waiting, and it wasn't until nine at night that she heard a car engine outside.The room was soundproof, so once the door was shut, she couldn't hear anything from downstairs.Eulalia went downstairs; Percival was already inside, lying on the sofa, looking exhausted with bloodshot eyes."Why
