Forsaken Until My Last Breath novel Chapter 34

Chapter 34

Vincent parked near Spring Harmony Villa but couldn’t bring himself to drive closer. He had no idea how to face Re-

becca.

His trembling hands betrayed the fear knotting his stomach. Thoughts tangled like spilled glue-how could he explain breaking his promise? Vanishing all night without a word.

As he wrestled with guilt inside the car, he spotted the nanny rushing out. A sudden dread gripped his chest-instinct screamed something was wrong.

He flung the car door open. “Lisa Wilson! What’s happening?”

The nanny sprinted to him, frantic. “Mr. Walker! Mrs. Walker is gone! She skipped breakfast-I thought she over- slept after waiting too long last night. At noon, still no sign of her. I knocked… her room’s empty…”

She waited too long last night…

Agony twisted Vincent’s features, regret drowning his eyes.

Seeing his distress, Lisa thrust a phone forward. “She left without this!”

Vincent unlocked the device-then froze. The screen displayed intimate photos of him and Susan from the previous night.

He swayed, his face filled with murderous rage mixed with panic. His Rebecca must have seen that photo and been disappointed in him again, so she left without a word.

Vincent felt his heart was soaked in ice, the chill penetrating from skin to bone.

She waited for him late into the night, but he was getting intimate with another woman.

The facts were right there. He didn’t know how to explain himself and win Rebecca’s forgiveness.

Rebecca didn’t even take her phone. She must have wanted to cut off all his hopes.

Vincent glanced at the nanny and said hoarsely, “Did she… say anything last night?”

The nanny saw Vincent looked terrible, but remembering how Rebecca looked last night, she couldn’t help telling ev- erything.

“Rebecca told me to cook many dishes. She waited for you, then she glanced at her phone, didn’t eat, and told me to throw all the food away.”

“She didn’t say anything else.”

Vincent didn’t know how he got back to the villa, or how the sky turned dark.

He had just called Frank. Frank said Rebecca had lung cancer long ago and only had one month left.

Because of his neglect and soft heart, he was finally going to lose the woman who once loved him deeply.

Vincent not only sent his own people to find Rebecca this time, but also contacted Randy in England, asking him to use his connections to help with the search.

Day after day passed with no news of Rebecca.

Vincent grew thinner, becoming darker and colder.

After enduring a month working at the exclusive nightclub, Susan couldn’t take the perverse torment anymore. One day, she pushed open a window and jumped naked to her death.

DNA tests confirmed neither child was Vincent’s, so they were sent directly to an orphanage.

Only now did Vincent realize that the reason he and Rebecca had no children wasn’t just due to her fertility issues-he had the same problem.

The Walker family plunged into internal strife again. Vincent seemed devoid of life, sustained only by his relentless pursuit of Rebecca day after day.

Then one day, Vincent finally received a text from an unknown number.

Seeing that familiar form of address, his eyes instantly reddened.

“Vincent, this is the last time I’ll ever contact you.”

“I once believed we’d be together forever.”

“But then you had Susan, even had children with her. You told me not to be jealous, not to make unreasonable de- mands. You said you just wanted a child. Yet after the children came, you two kept entangled. How could I not be jealous?”

Vincent seemed to see the woman waiting for him day after day at Spring Harmony Villa; how many times had she been disappointed during those countless days?

“My forbearance and your indulgence caused Patrick, Michael, Angela, and Nicole’s deaths. Their deaths constantly remind me we can never continue in this lifetime.”

“The sweetness was real, and so was the hurt.”

“Vincent, being with you is too exhausting. Next life, I hope we never meet again.”

Vincent read the text message repeatedly, each word forged into sharp arrows piercing his heart from all directions, the agony choking his breath while tremors racked his body; stifled sobs escaped his lips, swelling into wrenching

.cries.

Rebecca’s body was discovered by villagers on an unnamed hill.

Vincent rushed to the scene immediately, methodically handling work during the return trip with Rebecca’s remains,
