Chapter 10 EUU ITUMMIT O Chapter 10 The projector played the scenes of Maverick and Ophelia together over and over again, and Maverick's suspicion to- ward Raelynn stabbed at her heart repeatedly, The projector then showed the latest footage: Maverick was cooking for Ophelia, his previous cruelty replaced by a face full of smiles. The way he looked at Ophelia was overflowing with tenderness and love, just as he used to look at her. "Rae, when will I be able to call you my wife?" "Rae, I love you so much. Please say yes to my proposal." "Maverick will love Raelynn for a lifetime. If anyone dares to hurt Rae, I'll fight them to the end." "Honey, I'm a great cook. Let me take care of all your meals. In this world, only you deserve to eat my food. Not even my parents!" "Honey, Ophy saved you, which means she saved my life too. Anyway, she's an orphan. Let's take care of her." "Of course my feelings for Ophy are real. She just wants a long-lasting marriage, and I can give her that." *** Maverick's words kept echoing in her ears-his promises, his confessions, his lies-each one stabbing at her eardrums like a needle. The man who once loved her in her memories gradually separated from the Maverick on the big screen, slowly with- drawing from Raelynn's heart. Night had completely fallen. She collapsed helplessly to the ground, letting the darkness and coldness consume her. When she regained consciousness, she slowly moved her body. The dried blood beneath her formed a long trail on the floor as she shifted. Her lower abdomen was completely numb. She forced herself to stand and walked outside. Warm sunlight poured down, but it could not warm her frozen body and heart. In the end, she fainted by the roadside and was taken to the hospital. "Ms. Hatton, your abdomen has suffered severe trauma and your uterus has ruptured. We need to perform surgery to remove the remaining tissue." Listening to the doctor's words, Raelynn showed little emotion. After losing her baby, she had already accepted the fact that she could never be pregnant again. 0.0 % 10:34 So be it... At least she could still leave Maverick alive. Just after waking up from surgery, Raelynn was gagged, a hood was pulled over her head, and she was brought before Maverick. "Ophy, she's here. After you teach her a lesson, don't be upset anymore." When Maverick looked at Ophelia again, his gaze softened. Ophelia happily kissed Maverick and blinked. "Can I do whatever I want?" "Yes, do whatever you want. I'm here." Maverick doted on her, as if even if someone died, he would take the blame. Ophelia clapped her hands proudly and ordered the bodyguard to bring over two urns. "What are you going to do?" Raelynn recognized the two urns-they belonged to her parents. She tried to speak anx- iously, but only muffled sounds came out. "May, I want to scatter the ashes of the bad person's parents to the wind." Ophelia curled her lips and looked at Mav- erick. "Okay." "No, Maverick! Look at them, they're your parents-in-law. You made those urns with your own hands! Please, stop her!" Raelynn's face was covered in tears. She struggled desperately, unable to speak, only able to whimper. Maverick's gaze remained fixed on Ophelia's face, paying no attention at all to the urns in her hands. Raelynn grew more and more desperate. Watching the ashes scatter in the wind, her heart shattered into pieces. Maverick, is Ophelia the only one you see... Raelynn was restrained by the bodyguards, unable to move. The pain all over her body gnawed at her nerves, and darkness overtook her as she fainted. Seeing this, Ophelia scattered the remaining ashes as well. "Mav, let's go. I'm not angry anymore." "Okay." Maverick carried her away. As they passed the unconscious Raelynn, he couldn't help but slow his steps. But in the end, he still didn't look at her closely. He didn't even turn his head. When Raelynn woke up, the ashes on the ground had long since disappeared. She numbly held the empty urn, her tears already dried up. She returned to the villa, took her newly issued documents, glanced at the villa where she had lived for five years, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips. Raelynn picked up a baseball bat and smashed the Lego they had built together, the sofa they had chosen together, the 42.2 % 10:34 TV they had ordered together... Raelynn used the last of her strength to destroy everything in the living room. Looking at the mess, she burst out laughing, her voice filled with sorrow and grief. Throwing away the baseball bat, Raelynn used lipstick to write two lines on the wall. "Maverick, you once said that those who betray true love should swallow ten thousand needles. Do you remember?" "The thing I regret most in this life is falling in love with you!" Without looking back, Raclynn left the villa, leaving everything between her and Maverick in the ruins. 88.2 % 10:34
