This kind of drama didn't really surprise me.
Luka's probably upset seeing me standing right next to Lyra, attending such an important event with her in plain sight.I actually wanted to see how Lyra would handle this.But the moment her eyes met mine, I lost all interest and just turned around to go back to my room.She'd probably take care of it in time, right?Just as I expected, I soon heard the sound of a door opening and closing, and then everything outside wentLatest Chapter
Chapter 139
Lyra had a panic on her face that I had never seen before, but I didn't want to look at it any longer. I instinctively avoided her outstretched hand and coldly continued, "Lyra, you should know that I really wanted to start over with you. But you disappointed me. Even if I was wrong back then, haven't I paid enough for it now?""Or do you just want my emotionless shell from now on?" I added, my voice trembling.Lyra became even more flustered. "Isaac, you can't do something stupid. You can't be so irresponsible!""Yeah, I've been irresponsible all these years. I was irresponsible when I abandoned you back then, and now I'm even more irresponsible to myself." My tone remained icy. "I regret it. I shouldn't have hoped for a future with you after you hurt me time and again."Tears filled Lyra's eyes. "I love you. Why can't you see that? I hated you for a time, but have you ever thought about why I hated you? It was because you left me when I loved you the most. Who'
Chapter 138
I explained directly to them, "I didn't want Lyra to know, not because I didn't want her to suffer, but because I didn't think she needed to know."Roman clearly didn't accept my explanation and was about to argue when Chloe stopped him. "Roman, go take care of the discharge paperwork.""But why?" Roman demanded. "Mr. Smith was harmed by Lyra. She should know. She should feel incredibly guilty."Chloe's face instantly turned cold. Roman realized she was angry and didn't dare raise his voice again, muttering complaints as he went to handle the discharge.But as soon as he opened the door, someone rushed in—Luka."Mr. Smith, I didn't intentionally take that room. I really didn't know you were in the hospital. It's all my fault. Please don't kick me out!"This familiar drama made me nauseous, and I didn't have the energy to watch it.Chloe immediately understood and shoved Luka away. "Get out, okay?"Luka still didn't back down. "Mr. Smith,
Chapter 137
The housekeeper rushed over, her voice frantic. "Is anyone there? Call an ambulance!"Lyra should have left by then. She couldn't have called anyone here. I managed to whisper, "Bedroom... medicine... nightstand..."After that, I completely passed out.I had no idea how I got to the hospital. I experienced fleeting moments of awareness along the way, but I couldn't open my eyes.I could sense their surprise at seeing my injuries. They could guess what had happened. At that point, embarrassment wasn't my concern. I just wanted to disappear forever.I regained consciousness when voices stirred me awake. From the tone, I recognized it was Roman."He's in this state because of her, and she's disappeared again, hasn't she? What a coward! Tell her that if she doesn't show up, I'm calling the police. Even if they're married, that doesn't cut it."The housekeeper sounded anxious. "Please don't be so angry. Maybe they just had a fight.""A fight leaves
Chapter 136
I was worried it might be bad, so I quickly opened the first page of the psychological analysis, only to be even more shocked to see my name written there.It turned out that Lyra had been analyzing me all along.As I read through everything, I felt like I was falling into an abyss and suddenly collapsed onto the floor.The study door swung open from the outside, and Lyra's expression shifted from joy to panic in an instant. "Isaac, it's not what you think..."When I turned my head, I realized my vision was blurred with tears. "Lyra, you must have put in a lot of effort and spent quite a bit of money to have someone analyze me, right?"Looking at the analysis, I felt as if I had been stripped bare and thrown out onto the street. Every detail was laid out, even the intimate ones described without missing a beat.Lyra rushed over, anxiously grabbing my hand. "Isaac, I did this because I love you, and I don't want to lose you. It's not what you think."
Chapter 135
Lyra looked visibly anxious, worried that I might get angry. She quickly explained, "Isaac, believe me, I absolutely won't see him again this time. I'm just taking him to a remote place. No matter what he does, he did accompany me back then, and I really can't do this..."I interrupted her gently, "Don't be so nervous. I'm not angry."Honestly, I could say I never really got angry with Luka. After all, it was Lyra who was handling everything—he was just riding on her coattails.Seeing that I wasn't upset, Lyra lingered around me, but I wasn't in the mood. I still hadn't organized those inspirational notes from the South, and I needed to focus on that.Later, while I was in my study, Lyra knocked on the door. "I have some matters to handle at the company," she said. "You don't need to wait for me tonight."I was used to this. She was the company's president, and these things required her personal attention.The next day, she indeed didn't come back
Chapter 134
I doubted Roman or Layla would ever accept Yolanda's apologies or requests. In the end, I used calm, reasoned words to send her away, making sure she wouldn't return and that Roman remained unaware of her lingering feelings.Once I was certain she'd left the hospital, I went back upstairs. Layla was gone by the time I arrived, her departure unnoticed.Roman's eyes filled with tears the moment he saw me. "Mr. Smith, will I ever walk again?"The sight of him broke my heart. I remembered how, as boys, he'd always confided in me.I sat beside him, gently resting his head on my shoulder. "Roman, you don't have to be so strong. It's just us. It's okay to cry."My words broke the dam. He sobbed uncontrollably. "Mr. Smith, do you know? I was terrified. I was afraid I wouldn't recover, afraid Layla would be alone, and I'm afraid I'd never see you all again."At that moment, I couldn't offer any comfort. I knew I'd crumble if I tried to speak.I hadn't seen
