Chapter 628

Chapter 628:
It was the exact time when they had been stuck in the court-ordered waiting period before their divorce.
And during those days, she had a few accidents and had been in the hospital. He had never gone to see her.
And then came… the auction.
Brandon shut his eyes, and a sharp ache spread through his chest. How could he have ever fought her over that tanzanite, for Vivian’s sake? That was the birthstone she had chosen for their future child.
The thought clawed at him, almost unbearable.
He kept reading the medical records, going over them again and again. His hands shook as he gripped the pages tightly.
The notes showed that at first, she had refused the medication. Later, she had told the doctor that she was willing to take it.
The timing aligned perfectly with their first trip to the courthouse. Now, it all made sense.
After losing the child in Flesta, the grief had carved a wound so deep that neither of them could escape it. They had both longed for another.
She must have refused the medication because she desperately wanted to conceive again.
His fists curled, trembling harder.
But it was that night when she had finally given up on him completely.
He couldn’t even recall the exact words he had thrown at her.
What he did remember was mentioning the divorce.
She had looked straight at him and asked, “Does it have to be like this? And what about me?” Her voice stayed steady when she asked again, “Are you sure this is what you want?”
And finally, she had only said, “Alright.”

Four short lines. Three of them seeking an answer. Was the last one agreement, or was it surrender?
Why hadn’t he seen it then? When he thought back to that night, all he could remember was the heat of their bodies tangled together and the irritation that surged within him when he mentioned divorce.
He hadn’t realized it was her last attempt to hold on to him. Her last chance.
The sharp smell of disinfectant clung to the corridor. His tears fell onto the pages, one drop after another.
Brandon’s grip on the documents shook, the pages trembling in his hands. For the first time in his life, he understood what real regret felt like.
If only he had seen it back then. If only he had taken the last chance she had offered him. Would everything be different now?
Her voice from that day in the sunflower field still echoed in his mind. Latest content published on
“Brandon, we each have someone we care for now. Look ahead. Hold on to the people by your side. Stop hurting those who love you like you did to me.”
