Forsaken Until My Last Breath novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26

Vincent didn’t know how he walked out of that room. He heard a lot: the symptoms of lung cancer. The experts didn’t hide anything; they told him every symptom.

Internal organs were failing, throat felt torn, so bleeding wouldn’t stop…

Every word they said turned into a sharp knife, stabbing deeply into his heart.

Rebecca, dragging such a serious illness, didn’t plan to tell him. Rebecca endured this pain day and night, yet had to watch her beloved White family members die one by one before her eyes!

And what had he done? Enjoying Susan’s gentle care, immersed in the joy of becoming a father, forgetting Rebecca who had once accompanied him through tough times.

He stood in the corridor, gazing out the window at the vast white expanse, chilling his heart a bit.

The doctor said that people with lung cancer, if cared for carefully, might live longer.

Now with the truth laid bare before him, Vincent felt his heart wrenching in pain.

He had always thought he was just temporarily blinded by Susan. Rebecca loved him so much; he never imagined she would leave.

He should have noticed earlier. He couldn’t recall how he managed to remain indifferent when the woman he once cherished had blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

If he’d paid more attention to Rebecca, he could’ve noticed something was off. Even just a few visits to Spring Har- mony Villa would’ve shown she was skin and bones.

But he didn’t. Even as Rebecca lay dying, he cruelly tormented her in bed.

Thinking of that day, Vincent felt like a giant hand was squeezing his heart. The pain in his chest made it hard to breathe.

Back then, he despised Rebecca for being frail and dull. She wasn’t the woman he remembered anymore.

After that day, he never wanted intimacy with Rebecca again. Susan knew better how to please him and stir his de-

sires.

This fleeting thought came back. Vincent felt like needles were pricking his chest, making him unbearably uncom- fortable. Even as he breathed, a metallic taste rose in his throat,

After getting the call, the secretary rushed to the hospital. Seeing Vincent standing in the corridor, staring out the win- dow, he called out.

“Vincent?”

Vincent turned around, his eyes bloodshot, looking drained of life. This terrified the secretary.

He had been by Vincent’s side for so many years, yet he’d never seen Vincent so utterly dispirited. This state was even more alarming than when Rebecca first passed away.

What could have happened to devastate the CEO like this?

Seeing Vincent stagger a few steps as if about to collapse, his secretary rushed over to support him.

Leaning on his secretary to steady himself, Vincent spoke in a low voice, “Take me back to Spring Harmony Villa.”

Snowflakes drifted down in a thick curtain, blanketing the villa in white. Vincent only felt emptier inside.

Standing at the villa’s entrance, he gazed toward the study window but couldn’t bring himself to enter.

He’d turned a blind eye, letting Susan and Kyle act unchecked.

Though not directly responsible for Patrick, Angela, Michael, and Nicole’s deaths, each loss traced back to his choic-

Even if Rebecca were alive, the mere mention of those names would’ve stripped Vincent of any right to speak.

Now? Death extinguishes life like a lamp’s flame. What face did he have to stand before Rebecca’s funeral urn, pre- tending to cherish her memory?

The cold wind pierced through snow-soaked clothes, sending a violent shudder through Vincent’s body.
