The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 256

"Harrison, should I be thankful that you’re still considering my feelings like this?"

"Don't say it like that." Harrison was filled with a sense of guilt, "I've failed you."

He wished he could just knock himself out.

Roxanne fell silent.

Suddenly, she felt a chill.

The bright morning sun was streaming in through the window, casting a warm glow on her bed.

Just by reaching out, she could feel the warmth of the sunlight on her fingertips.

The sunlight made her tightly clenched hand, exposed outside of the blanket, appear completely pale.

Pale without a trace of blood.

Even her smooth fingernails were pale and lifeless.

She clenched the blanket even tighter.

She swallowed hard several times, then lifted her lips in exhaustion.

"Harrison, I didn't sleep well last night. Can you let me get some rest first?"

Harrison looked at her, "Would you like to have some breakfast first?"

She shook her head.

She had no appetite to eat.

Her heart was near death.

She was just putting on a facade.

Harrison rubbed her head, "Then get some sleep. We can talk later when you wake up."

"What else do you want to talk to me about?"

Roxanne looked at him with a wry smile.

"You want to talk about how you suggested that I terminate the pregnancy so the child won’t grow up in

a single-parent family?"

"Or perhaps you want to discuss how you’re doing this for my own good so that I can marry someone

else without any restrictions?"

Harrison opened his mouth but didn’t say anything.

He felt that anything he said would be inadequate.

He just continued to rub her head and said soothingly, "You should get some sleep first."

As she watched Harrison leave the room, Roxanne sat on the edge of the bed for a long time.

Perhaps she was just too tired.

She lay down and curled up in the blanket.

Even though she was exhausted and wanted to sleep, there was a tense in her brain.

The more she tried to sleep, the more elusive it became.

But this wasn't the time for grieving or weeping.

She needed to get some sleep to regain her strength.

Only then would she have the energy and a clear mind to think about what to do next.

After going downstairs, Harrison originally intended to head to the hospital.

But he didn't get into the car.

Leaning against the car door, he lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

As he exhaled the smoke, the swirling smoke formed a shroud around his troubled face .

The sunlight fell diagonally across his figure, casting a dashing silhouette over his well-dressed attire,

yet his expression remained grim and disheveled.

The world around him might have been vibrant, but in his eyes, it appeared ashen and lifeless.

He took another deep drag.

Suddenly, he started coughing harshly.

Anthony handed him a bottle of soda water, "Mr. Harrison, please stop smoking and have some water."

Though he was still coughing, he took another drag of his cigarette, "Leave me alone for a while."

Anthony didn't say anything more and he stepped back and respectfully stood at a distance.

Watching his boss, Mr. Harrison, smoking one cigarette after another.

But the worry on his face grew more pronounced.

Even the bright spring day seemed to lose its luster because of his sadness.

After answering a call, Anthony approached him.

"Mr. Harrison, the hospital just called, saying that Mr. Dawson has regained consciousness."

Hamlin Dawson was Nora's father.

He was known for his integrity and deep love for his daughter.

Harrison extinguished the half-finished cigarette in his hand and threw it away before heading to the

hospital.

Hamlin had fainted due to the immense distress his daughter endured.

Nora had been kidnapped by foreign forces in a fierce international business battle involving 6G

technology.

She was subjected to sexual assault by several men and videos of her were taken, circulating within

the domestic celebrity circles.

Hamlin didn't care if people talking behind his back or damaging his reputation.

He didn’t mind losing face.

But he couldn't bear to see his daughter suffer such humiliation.

That was too cruel.

After awakening, Hamlin disregarded everyone's persuasion and immediately went to Nora's ward.

His daughter was still unconscious after being rescued from jumping off a building.

Hamlin couldn’t keep his composure, saying, "Nora, please wake up. Don't leave your dad."

"Hamlin, don't get too worked up." His wife Emily, despite her exhaustion, tried to calm her husband.

Emily had nearly fainted several times too.

Fortunately, their former son-in-law, Alexander, was there to assist and had been by their side to take

care of them.

It was Alexander who had been handling Nora's treatment.

Alexander looked at his weary former mother-in-law and said, "Mom, help Dad back to his room to rest.

I'll stay here with Nora."

"I'm not going anywhere," Hamlin insisted.

He wanted to stay with his precious daughter.

He had two daughters, both of whom he cherished deeply.

His older daughter, Hazel Dawson, had been led astray by the glamorous lifestyle of the world and had

betrayed her marriage. In a fit of anger, he had kicked her out of their home. and he didn't know where

she was for now.

His younger daughter had been through sexual assault and left in a coma after her suicide attempt, she

was still unconscious.

What had he done to deserve such punishment?

"Mr. Dawson. It’s my fault that Nora is suffering. When she wakes up, I'll marry her."

The voice came from Harrison.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Everyone turned to face.Harrison as he took a step forward, his heart heavy with remorse.

"I will make amends for the pain she has suffered. I will help Nora step by step, guiding her out of the

pain and darkness and start a new life."

"Harrison, how dare you show up?"

Hamlin approached in anger, grabbing Harrison's collar in anger.

His strong grip seemed to capable of choking Harrison.

Harrison didn't resist.

He believed he deserved this punishment.

He was filled with remorse, "I sincerely hope to bring some light into Nora's life and help her overcome

the darkness as soon as possible."

"Harrison, who do you think you are? A god?"

Hamlin found it ridiculous.

"Just because Nora likes you, you think you can save her?"

"And, do you think our Nora would appreciate your charity?"

"She's a strong-willed person. If she knew you wanted to marry her out of pity, do you think she would

agree? You're insulting her. You're too presumptuous."

Hamlin really wanted to punch him.

But Hamlin knew, even if he did, it wouldn’t bring his loving, graceful, and beautiful daughter back.

He released him, “Harrison, leave. Don't ever appear in front of me again, and especially not in front of

Nora.”

Worrying that Harrison's presence would only further upset his former in-laws, Alexander hastily pulled

him aside.

“Harrison, come here.”

The two men walked to the end of the corridor, standing by a large window.

Alexander really wanted to throw a punch on him, but he kept a clear head.

“Harrison, I don’t want to blame you for pushing Nora out and putting her in danger. I know you were

trying to protect Roxanne, and you didn't want the foreign forces to discover her; you didn't want her to

get harmed. Given that, why did you say you wanted to marry Nora? What you're doing is hurting both

women at the same time. I know Nora well; she won't accept charity.”
