Farewell To My Endless Love

Nancy's POV:

"Liam, don't go. I promise, as long as the wedding carries on, I'll forget what happened between you and Cassie. In fact, I'll ask someone to take care of her and the baby."

I endured the pain in my belly and begged Liam for mercy. I even put my dignity in the line just to make him not leave me.

"I'm sorry for what I've done. I promise I'll make it up to you," Liam replied guiltily.

My eyes widened in shock. What did he mean by that?

Before I could find the answer to that question, Liam squatted down and held my hand. Then, to my astonishment, he took the wedding ring off my finger.

"This ring doesn't belong to you, so it shouldn't be on your finger anymore."

I grabbed his hand and warned through gritted teeth, "Liam, don't push me too far!"

"I'm sorry, Nancy," Liam pulled my hand off and stood up.

Just as he was about to walk away, I grabbed his sleeve and implored, with tears streaming down my face, "Don't be so cruel to me."

Liam lowered his head and looked at me with expressionless eyes.

Then, he shook off my hand and walked toward Cassie without looking back.

He stretched out his hand at Cassie. The diamond ring that was on my finger a moment ago was now on his palm.

"Do you still want it?" he asked.

"No. I don't want it anymore. Someone has already worn it." Cassie threw the knife away and threw herself in Liam's arms. "I'm so sorry, Liam. It's just that I can't live without you."

"You silly girl, I'm right here with you, okay? Just you wait. I'll settle accounts with you once you've given birth to our baby. I'll be sure to teach you a lesson."

Liam said in a stern tone, yet his expression was doting and affectionate.

The tall and handsome man in front of me held the pregnant woman in his tight embrace. Those who could see them right now would think that they were a happy couple. But... what about me? What about my baby?

This was my wedding. Today was supposed to be the best day of my life. But here I was, watching my groom hold another woman in his arms.

How pathetic.

A few moments later, Liam finally let go of Cassie. To everyone's surprise, he threw the diamond ring as if it was worth nothing and then held Cassie's hand again. "Let's go," he said with a smile.

"Yes," Cassie gleefully replied.

Despair washed over me as my wedding ring disappeared in the sea of people, just like my happiness.

"Oh my God! What's going on? Did the bridegroom just run away with his mistress?"

"I know, right?! The bride must be in anguish as the groom's mistress had come to ruin her wedding day. To think, he even chose the mistress and abandoned his bride!" "There must be something in her that made the groom choose his mistress. Oh well. This is humiliating for both the Wood and Hill family."

The crowd's whispers and gossips with one another were a tight slap in my face.

I lost everything.

That shameless couple destroyed my happiness and trampled on my dignity.

Ironically, even though I was the victim, Liam and Cassie seemed to be having the best day of their lives.

How could they live happily ever after ruining my life?!

Without thinking, I picked up the knife that Cassie had thrown and rushed toward them.

"Liam!" I shouted at the top of my lungs, which sounded like a battle cry.

I wanted them to have a taste of their own medicine.

The sound of the knife piercing into flesh greeted my ear, and blood splattered on my white wedding dress. How could this be?

My gaze shifted from the knife to the person in front of me.

I was going to stab Liam. But at the last second, Cassie rushed forward and blocked the knife.

"Cassie!" Liam cried out.

A sound of metal clanking echoed in the hall as the knife fell to the ground. But to me, everything went eerily silent. I lowered my gaze and looked at my bloody hands. I could still feel the coldness of the knife and the warmth of the blood.

I... I killed someone.

"Ah!"

I seemed to have woken up from a horrible nightmare. Suddenly, my knees buckled, and I collapsed onto the cold, hard ground. For a moment, the world felt like it was spinning around.

I could hear my brother and parents shouting my name in the distance. My eyelids started to feel heavy, and I felt something leaving my body.

With that, everything went black.

Nicholas's POV:

Liam and I stood by the door of the operating room. The atmosphere between us was depressing.

Today was supposed to be the happiest day in Nancy's life. But here she was, lying on the operating table with blood all over her body. I had no news about her condition yet. I also wondered if the baby was fine.

Why did this happen?

I was confused. To make Nancy

stop pestering Charles and find her own happiness, I tried everything I could to marry her off to Liam However, I did not expect that she would be pushed further down into hell.

Was I at fault here?

While I was in deep thought, the door of the operating room opened.

"Doctor, how is she?" Liam and I asked at the same time.

"Congratulations. She has given birth to a healthy baby girl."

I was stunned. Was the doctor talking about Cassie?

"What about the child's mother?" Liam anxiously asked.

"Fortunately, the knife did not stab into any vital organs. She's in a stable condition now with non-life-threatening injuries. Please take good care of her. She'll recover soon."

Liam seemed relieved.

But it irked me that he did not ask a single question about Nancy. It was as if he did not care.

"Doctor, what about my sister, the other pregnant woman?"

The doctor fell silent, and a look of guilt flashed across his face.

My heart sank. The doctor did not need to answer my question.

"Unfortunately, it was too late when she was sent here. We couldn't do anything about the baby."

I was both relieved and in dismay.

Although my sister lost her baby, I was glad that she was fine.

"But, I'm afraid she'll never be able to conceive again." The doctor sighed and shook his head with regret.

Unable to conceive again?

I looked at the doctor upon hearing this.

"I'm sorry. We've tried everything we could." The doctor bowed apologetically, turned around, and left.

Liam and I were stunned when we heard the bad news.

"You bastard!" I bellowed.

With tears in my eyes, I clenched my fist and hit Liam square in the face.

This was all his fault. If it were not for him, Nancy would not have lost her child, nor would she have lost the ability to be a mother.

He was the one who caused all these tragedies!

The blow sent Liam to the ground.

Nevertheless, I was still dissatisfied. I rode on him and threw punches one after another. Surprisingly, he did not resist and just let me vent my anger on him.

"Stop!" the hospital security guards shouted behind me. Although reluctant, I had no choice but to let him go.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"Sorry for the trouble," Liam said to the guards, his face beaten black and blue.

Gary rushed to the hospital with Sunny at his heels. "Don't worry, Nicholas. The Hill family will make it up to Nancy."

I sat on the chair and sneered. "How are you going to make it up to her?"

"The Hill Group will give the Wood Group a big project for free," Gary replied apologetically.

A project?

I was fuming with anger, but his words made me burst into laughter. "Do you honestly think you can buy me off with a project? How dare you assume you can make up for what my sister is going through? You're dreaming!"

Thinking that I would not be swayed, Gary ordered Liam, "Liam, get over here!"

Liam walked over silently.

"Apologize now!"

Liam took a look at me and bowed his head. "I'm sorry."

"Nicholas, I'm really sorry for what happened. I'll send someone to your company tomorrow to talk about the project in detail," Gary added.

As I looked at his cynical expression, I felt as though I had swallowed a thousand ants.

Did he think he could get forgiveness with a simple apology?

"All of you, get the hell out of here!" I roared, my hands trembling in anger.

Once the Hill family was gone, I forced myself to calm down. It was only when I regained my composure that I walked into my sister's ward.

Nancy had woken up. She was lying on the bed, her shoulders trembling as she sobbed in silence.

"Nicky..."

I rushed towards her and gave her a hug. It must have been then that she realized the weight of what had happened that she broke down.

My heart ached as if it had been pierced by a knife.

I tried my best to hold back my

tears. Right now, she needed me to

lend her a shoulder to cry on. "Everything's going to be okay, Nancy Take good care of yourself. A scum like Liam doesn't deserve you. There are better men waiting for

you."

"I hate him so much!"

Nancy's voice was filled with grief and anguish. I held her in my arms to give her the comfort she needed. And, once again, tears welled up in my eyes.
