Chapter 17: Ways that Hurt Others and Oneself

Amelia remembered that at the time, her heart was already filled with ashes, so numb that she had become indifferent to everything. Her father was in a coma, the Fosters were bankrupt, and her boyfriend had betrayed her... All the sadness and sorrow seemed to have run dry with her tears on the night she lost her child.

He smoked all night outside the door, while she spent the entire night hardening her heart in the room. She told herself that even if she got dumped, she shouldn't be too pathetic.

Her body was weak after the miscarriage. She leaned casually against the doorframe and said nonchalantly, "I had it aborted."

Then she saw that her revenge was successful. The man's eyes, which had always been calm and unfazed, suddenly filled with a violent hatred, the kind that wished he could strangle her to death.

With his eyes filled with malice, he stared at her like he'd encountered a venomous snake and said word by word, "That was a life. How could you be so cruel?"

He was truly heartbroken, she saw it clearly, but she only felt it was ridiculous and sad.

She believed that their feelings during those years were not fake, and she knew that Daniel did care about her to some extent. But for an ambitious man, the so-called love could never outweigh the huge power and interests at stake.

After all, marrying the Director's daughter would catapult him to the top.

He chose to abandon her and the child for his career, so she also chose an extreme way to hurt both him and herself as their final end - not telling him that the child was actually miscarried by accident.

The little life that had grown inside her for three months, even if she hated him, she couldn't bear to take it away herself.

Now that time had passed and the old scenes were reappearing, she felt nothing but irony.

At the same time, she thought she might have a masochistic tendency as she scraped the wound in her heart with a knife again. After the pain, she became calm, turned around, went back to bed, and fell asleep with her eyes closed.

However, the car downstairs never left.

When Nathan returned, he relayed Amelia's words and told them what he saw, "Dr. Foster looked calm, and there was no sound after she opened the door. She was always blocking the entrance, so I couldn't see the inside situation."

So the man in the backseat didn't ask any more questions. With his gloomy and cold demeanor, he didn't say anything, and Nathan didn't dare to make decisions without authorization, so they just sat in the car together.

Not until Amelia's dormitory light went out did Daniel suddenly open the car door and get out.

But after getting out of the car, he didn't go upstairs. He stood still, smoking one cigarette after another, and no one knew what he was thinking.

It wasn't until midnight when Nathan couldn't help but persuade, "If you're worried, you should go upstairs and check on her, or let me do it for you."

He shook his head, "She's upset, so she intentionally brought someone back to the dormitory to aggravate me. There won't be anything else. I know how stubborn she is."

Having witnessed Isaac's misconduct, Amelia would never have any further involvement with him, given her character.

Nathan wanted to ask, if that's the case, why are you still lingering here?

But he obviously couldn't say that. Having followed Daniel Cooper for two years, he could never figure out his thoughts.

His gaze unintentionally caught the underground passage leading to the hospital, and he suddenly remembered what happened a few hours ago.

At that time, Mr. Cooper was about to sign a multi-billion dollar contract, and he had already entered the hotel. But he suddenly received a call from Dr. Foster, and without hesitation, he left his business partner and hurried to her side.

When he arrived, he saw Isaac and Amelia coming out of the tunnel entrance, not only causing a scene of kneeling in the street but also going upstairs together all affectionate and loving...
