?Chapter 265:


    He froze, taken aback by her unexpected words.


    “I didn’te back for you. I was the one who chose to love you in the first ce. That was my mistake. I fell for the wrong person. So no, I don’t me you at all. I understand that I can’t control how someone else feels.


    You treated me badly because you simply didn’t love me, and that’s fine. It hurt, and I spent a long time questioning myself. I tried everything for you. I learned to drink, I learned to race cars, and I even tried to embrace Joyce, whom I once looked down on. We only get so many years in life, and for a decade, I chased after you. Those were the years of my youth that I can’t get back. I always tried to make things between us asfortable as possible because, even then, there was so much I admired about you. I hoped one day those memories would be worth holding on to. But today, you’ve ruined it all.


    You’ve shattered everything I worked for.


    Your behavior has exposed the worst of human nature. All the things I gave up, the sacrifices I made… They mean nothing now. And whenever I think of the past, I’ll remember that I loved someone who wasn’t worth it. Do you know what that feels like? Your very existence disgusts me.”


    Dani’s voice was measured, each word deliberate and controlled. Despite the calmness in her tone, the weight of her words cut through him, one after another, each sharper than thest.


    Alexander stood still, his gaze locked on her, seeing nothing but the disgust in her eyes.


    After a while, a security guard appeared and escorted him out.


    g?lnσν????s is your storytelling haven


    That night, Dani sat alone in her office for hours, as if she were mourning the loss of a part of her youth that had been broken beyond hope.


    After leaving Dani’s office, Alexander wandered back to the hospital in a daze.


    As he reached the entrance, he ran into Joyce and Katrina, who were out for a walk. The dim lighting made it hard to see, and Alexander’s face was streaked with blood.


    Joyce let out a startled cry and staggered forward. Katrina screamed, “Help!”


    Joyce copsed, her abdomen hitting the ground, and she screamed out in pain. Hospital staff rushed over with a stretcher to help her. Alexander attempted to step in, but Katrina pushed him back with all her might.


    “Get out of here! Who do you think you are? You scared the future Mrs. Bet! Stay right there! You’ve terrified my daughter, and you will pay for this!”


    Katrina hurried after the stretcher, her steps frantic.


    Alexander stood there, alone, in the chilly night air. He found the situation both absurd and pitiful, but he couldn’t bring himself tough.


    Hadn’t Joyce once said she loved him? Yet here she was, too scared to even recognize him, so frightened that she had fallen. Didn’t Katrina want him as a son-inw? Now she didn’t even know who he was.


    They were no different from Dani, iming to care but only looking out for their own interests.


    These women, so quick to turn away, deserved nothing but punishment for their hypocrisy.


    Shaking off the anger, Alexander pushed forward, seeking the on-call doctor to tend to his injuries. Afterward, he made his way to the maternity ward.


    Katrina, not recognizing him, swung at him in a blur of anger. But before she could make contact, Alexander’s voice stopped her.


    “Dani runs Dreamscape Research Institute.”


    Katrina froze, stunned by his words.


    “What did you say?” Caiden rose from his seat, his expression serious. He was deeply concerned, more than anyone, about the safety of the child growing in Joyce’s womb. His eyes narrowed, and he demanded sharply, “What did you just say?”


    Alexander let out a heavy sigh.
