Chapter 254
Roxanne glanced at Harrison, she noticed the bruise on his face.
Suddenly, Roxanne found herself understanding the decision Harrison had made.
And she found herself unable to feel any resentment.
She took two steps forward, tugging gently at Harrison's sleeve.
She stared at his somber face.
"Harrison, I can help you take care of Nora. I can share the responsibility with you. I can treat her as
my own sister and take care of her."
Harrison coldly brushed her hand away.
She was unwilling to accept this separation, so she reached out to him again.
Yet, Harrison pushed her way once again.
"I'm sorry, but I can't be responsible for two women at the same time. I've let you down!"
This time, Roxanne couldn't bring herself to hold onto Harrison's sleeve anymore.
Her heart ached.
She was hurt.
She had moments of self-doubt too.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Harrison.
Her hand, which had been brushed away by him fell to her side, and she didn’t know whether to reach
out or retract it.
She clenched the flesh on her own leg tightly.
Though she pinched herself hard, she couldn’t feel the pain at all.
Because the wound in her heart had taken up all her consciousness.
She looked up at Harrison with a humble expression, "Harrison, you can't treat me like this. You were
the one who said you couldn’t be happy without me; you were the one who asked me for a second
chance. You pulled me out of hell, and now you’re going to push me back into it?"
Harrison didn't respond.
He stood to the side of Roxanne without looking at her.
He didn't even dare to face her.
Finally, he coldly said,"You’re not like Nora. You've been through a lot since you were a child. You're
used to the ups and downs of life. Without me, you can still live a good life. But without me, Nora
wouldn't be able to survive. I owe Nora."
When those foreign forces captured Nora and threatened him, he could have handed over the 6G
technology to save Nora.
However, when compared to the interests of the corporation and the critical importance of 6G
technology in various domestic sectors, sacrificing Nora was the best choice.
He was the one who made Nora into the hands of the enemy.
He was the one who allowed such a pure and beautiful girl to be defiled and ridiculed by the entire
society.
He failed Nora.
"You owe Nora, but don't you owe me?"
Roxanne asked him, her heart was broken.
Harrison did not answer.
A simple "I'm sorry" could no longer express his remorse towards Roxanne.
Despite being pushed away several times, Roxanne still boldly approached him carefully grasping his
sleeve.
"Harrison."
She let go of all her pretenses.
She opened up the tightly closed shell of herself, revealing her soft, fragile, and vulnerable heart.
"I'm not as strong as you think."
"Really. Every time I’ve been abandoned, I’ve just put on a brave front."
"Please don’t leave me?"
She let go of her pride and dignity as if she was begging him.
"Harrison, there are many ways to make amends for Nora. I can help you make amends for her."
"Why did you choose to hurt me?"
She tugged at Harrison's sleeve.
Shaking it gently, it seemed like she was being coquettish and at the same time, it felt like she were
begging.
"Harrison, look at me. I'm really not as strong as you think."
The arm that once gave her endless warmth and protection eventually coldly waved her away.
He didn't even look at her in the end.
"There's nothing more to say about this. I love you, but I can only choose to hurt you. Later, I’ll have my
CFO provide you with compensation."
"Compensation?" Roxanne scoffed, "Harrison, do you think I need that money? If I need money, I can
earn it myself."
If she were really a woman who earned money by getting a substantial breakup fee from men, she
would have already made a fortune in her years in business.
Numerous men had tried to involve her in unsavory dealings.
Why would she care about the compensation Harrison offered?
Harrison didn't say anything, and he just gave Anthony a subtle signal, "Take her home."
"Madam!" Anthony took a step forward, respectfully and sadly said, "I'll take you home ."
Heh, Madam!
What kind of madam was she?
She didn't pester Harrison any further.
At this point, Harrison was already quite annoyed
She wasn't going to push him.
Given her personality, this time she would quietly and completely leave Harrison's world.
But she didn't. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Anthony was supposed to take her back to her own home.
But she had him take her to Harrison's villa.
The villa was filled with memories of her and Harrison.
All the moments, from their first meeting, getting to know each other, and falling in love over the past
two years, woven a web that trapped her tightly.
She couldn't escape her true feelings.
Harrison clearly loved her.
And she clearly loved Harrison too.
Why should they part so easily?
No.
She couldn't leave.
She stayed in the villa, waiting for Harrison to come back.
She curled up on the sofa, hugging her knees, waiting from midnight until dawn, then from dawn to
noon.
The servants brought her water and food several times, but she didn't touch anything.
Harrison still hadn’t come back.
She waited from noon until evening.
"Madam, you've been sitting here since last night, not eating or drinking anything. This will only harm
your health."
"You should at least take some porridge."
Knowing that she liked sweet potato millet porridge, the servant had made some for her.
Handing it over, the servant persuaded, "Madam, no matter what has happened, you shouldn't punish
yourself like this."
She really didn't want to make herself in such a miserable state.
Roxanne eventually took the porridge and had a few gulps.
A surge of discomfort roiled her stomach, forcing her to rush to the bathroom and vomit.
She subconsciously thought about her pregnancy.
She had planned to share this delightful surprise with Harrison last night.
But she didn't have the chance.
She touched her still flat abdomen.
Her heart ached.
“Baby, you have come at such a bad time. Dad doesn't want Mom anymore. Dad really doesn't want
Mom anymore.”
Suddenly, it felt like she had grabbed onto her last lifeline.
The baby!!!
It was well past midnight when Harrison finally returned home.
It had been three days since their separation in the hospital.
Upon hearing the familiar ding of the elevator announcing his arrival, Roxanne dashed to meet him,
barefoot and breathless.
Harrison looked even more exhausted, more gaunt, and more weathered compared to three days ago.
The stubble on his face had grown thicker.
Upon seeing her, he furrowed his brows. "Why are you still here?"
"Where should I be?" Roxanne asked, holding back her tears. "Harrison, are you really going to cut off
all ties with me again? Just like you did last time?"
Harrison remained silent.
Roxanne stepped forward and grabbed his arm. Without a second thought, she blurted out, "Harrison,
I'm pregnant. From our time together on the plane last month, I'm carrying your child. You can't just
abandon us like this. What if it's a girl? You and Dad always wanted a little girl. Let's remarry, and we
can raise this child together. What do you say?"
