Chapter 3

Vincent’s expression darkened before he finally spoke, “I’ll let it slide this time. But if it happens again, I won’t be le- nient. Also, I don’t want to see him at this school anymore.”

This was the city’s top-tier institution. Vincent had once doted on Patrick, even increasing investments for his sake. Now, with a single sentence from Vincent, it became Rebecca’s charity project.

Rebecca knew this was Vincent’s ultimate concession. She met his gaze steadily without a word, then turned and led Patrick away.

After withdrawing Patrick from school, Rebecca drove off with Angela. Silence filled the car until they reached the villa gates.

Before getting out, Patrick suddenly tugged Rebecca’s sleeve. With solemn gestures, he signed, “Don’t be sad, Auntie. Any school is fine. When I grow up, I’ll protect you and Mom. I won’t let anyone hurt you again.”

Rebecca stroked Patrick’s hair, tears welling in her eyes as she hugged him tight. “Auntie believes in you. You’ll al- ways be amazing in my heart.”

Angela turned away to wipe her tears. Watching Rebecca, she seemed about to speak but finally just said, “Rebecca, take good care of yourself. Don’t worry about Patrick and me.”

Watching the car disappear into the distance, Rebecca finally succumbed to the crushing pain in her chest. A mouth-

Rebecca slowly opened her eyes and whispered, “I heard Dr. Frank has exceptional medical skills. Can he cure my heartache?”

Dr. Frank frowned. “No.”

Her voice remained faint. “Nicole, please see Dr. Frank out.”

Rebecca’s gaze lingered on snowflakes drifting outside the window, unmoving.

Sometime later, the bedroom door swung open abruptly.

Vincent stood at the entrance.

Rebecca lifted her eyes, giving him a fleeting glance before looking away.

The dim nightlight’s amber glow couldn’t conceal the frost in her eyes. Vincent froze mid-step.

He tightened his grip on the jewelry box, forcing a smile as he sat on the bed’s edge. Opening the box, he said, “Your favorite pink diamond. I brought it back for you.”

Rebecca stared at the gem, her expression glacial. “Vincent, Susan was the one who loved pink diamonds.”

Vincent recoiled, hastily closing the box. Softening his tone, he murmured, “I know you’re hurting. Didn’t you always dream of seeing Iceland’s northern lights? Next month’s clear for me. Let’s take that trip.”
