Nick was evidently suffering, but as a fellow woman, I was on Rose’s side in that matter. I knew how
disappointed she must be when she found out the truth.
Whenever she talked about her husband, I could see true love and happiness in her eyes. This woman
had unquestionably given her heart and soul to their relationship.
However, when she finally achieved her dream to get married and have children, Nick walked out of her
life and tore their marriage apart.
“You shouldn’t do this, at least not now.” I knew it would be a bitter disappointment to Rose if she was left
alone when she needed all the support and care, especially after their child was born.
For a moment, I was reminded of Camelia. She was a bright and confident lady before Marcus broke her.
Life lessons taught us that it was important to be open and honest in all aspects of life, including
marriage. Yet honesty could sometimes be cruel when one had hopes and expectations.

married?” he asked. The frustration and coldness were in his voice.
I frowned, stupefied by his sudden change of subject.
Before I could respond, he tilted his head downwards and complained, “If Lydia hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t
have known the truth. It turned out that mom has sent someone to spy on me after she knew of our
relationship. And before she blew up at me, she confronted him without my knowledge! Well, I don’t
know what they talked about, but I’m pretty sure that Jackson disappeared after that day. Then soon
after, he went to M Country and ended up being the scapegoat of his own brother!
“Look at him now. He is laying unconscious in bed, and his parents didn’t even come and visit him. Do
you know what they told me over the phone? They said he disgusted them and that he is not their son!
They said he deserved to suffer because he chose to leave and protect me. You see, I am the only one
he could turn to. I must stay beside him. And I’ve promised myself that I don’t want to be a gutless
coward anymore.”
I could see his gaze wandered over the floor as he spoke. Then he stared ahead absently as if his soul
leaving his empty shell of a body.
I knew nothing was perfect in this world. We would always fail the very person who loved us the most.
As a bystander, I didn’t have the right to judge his decision, but at the same time, I felt sorry for Rose.
“Still, Rose and your son are innocent. I know you’re a busy man, but you must fulfill your
responsibilities. Even if you want to go your separate ways, don’t run and hide from your problems. So,
think carefully before you make your final decision,” I said, even though I knew it was almost impossible
to convince a stubborn man.
If he allowed his ego to rule his decision, the problem would only drag on much longer. In the end, he
would only make it more difficult for himself.
I left his office. Suddenly, I received a call from the police station. I had to call off my plan to visit Rose.

Half an hour later, I arrived at the police station.
From inside the car, I saw an ambulance pulled off at the front entrance. It has an emergency light on.
I got down from the car and walked toward the entrance. When I was inside the building, I saw a patient
in a ventilator mask being wheeled into the ambulance. It was hectic.
Just as I was wondering about what happened, Hunter hurried out of the corridor with his father. He
looked surprised when he saw me. Then he walked past me like we were total strangers. They got into a
white car and followed the ambulance.
At that moment, I could probably guess what had happened. I walked further in and saw Emery sitting
face to face with a police officer. Her attractive features were expressionless; her eyes were cold and
sharp.
