The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 257

Harrison: "I'm not offering charity."

Alexander retorted, "Then what is it? When Nora was a pure and innocent girl, she pursued you and

you didn't accept her."

Thinking about all that Nora had been through, Alexander choked up.

He felt deeply distressed.

Although Nora was only his former cousin by marriage, he had always treated her like his own little

sister.

The cruelty that had happened to Nora was something Alexander just couldn't bear.

"Harrison, Nora has been sexual assaulted. Even if you keep pitying her and want to marry her now, it'll

only make her more haunted by that painful past. Just let her go!"

Alexander pleaded.

Harrison pondered for a moment, and then said firmly, "I will make amend for her in my own way for the

rest of her life."

Between the two women.

One admired him silently, never bothering him, and sincerely wished him well.

The other, the unique one he loved deeply.

If he had to choose one, he had to let Roxanne down.

When he turned to leave, his determination remained unwavering.

Alexander called out from behind, "Harrison, what about Roxanne? Weren't you going to reconcile with

her?"

Harrison, with his back to Alexander, replied, "She's been through a lot. But she's strong enough to get

through this."

Even he felt like a jerk for saying that.

Jerks didn’t deserve to have love, especially a genuine love like Roxanne's.

He deserved to lose her.

As he resumed his steady stride, Harrison declared, "I'll go to consult with specialists to find out a

solution. Take good care of Nora's parents."

When Harrison returned to Grandeur Meadows, it was already past midnight.

In the afternoon, Seraphim Haven experienced a continuous drizzle.

The rain wasn't heavy, but it had been persistent and ongoing for the entire evening.

It had been raining all evening.

The drizzle hadn't stopped.

Harrison hurried back to the villa.

Anthony couldn't keep up with him with a large umbrella in his hand.

Harrison got wet from the rain.

Since Roxanne got pregnant, she experienced frequent hanger, and the bouts of nausea left her in a

constant cycle of eating and vomiting.

She climbed out of bed to have a midnight snack prepared by the servants.

She sat in the large dining room, sipping on some soup.

Harrison walked into the dining room and he felt a sense of relief when he saw her sipping the soup.

However, she was too quiet, reminiscent of the time over half a year ago when he closed her company,

and she didn't protest, eventually making the quiet decision to divorce him.

When he went over and sat next to her, he didn't say anything.

He wanted to let her enjoy her meal.

Roxanne didn't say anything either.

She just sipped the soup.

She tasted the soup without registering its flavor.

After finishing her soup, she put down the bowl and looked up at Harrison. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

"Do you have something to say to me?"

Harrison knew she was in sadness.

And he knew he was being a coward.

Whenever he faced her, he was always at a loss for words.

"After we part ways, if you ever run into any trouble, feel free to come to me. I won't block or delete you

this time. I hope you won't hate me too much."

Roxanne didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He won't block or delete her number this time?

How generous!

What he was doing now was far worse than blocking or deleting her.

"Roxanne, I want to talk to you about the baby."

He reached for her hand, trying to hold it tightly.

But Roxanne quickly pulled her hand away.

When she put her hand back under the table, she was trembling.

"Roxanne, you have a long life ahead of you. If you have a child, your life will be tough. Please think

about it carefully. I hope you’ll consider yourself more."

"What if I don’t want to terminate my pregnancy? Will you lock me up here and force me to take the

surgery?"

"Do you really think I'm that heartless?"

"You're not." She gave a bitter smile.

He was just a hard-hearted capitalist who would change his mind on a whim.

She shouldn’t have trusted him so easily.

The first time she jumped into the fire, it was her foolishness and her stupidity.

The second time, knowing it was a trap and still choosing to jumping into it, that was entirely her fault.

She didn't blame Harrison.

It was all her own choice.

She was the one who should bear the consequences.

"Harrison, take me to the hospital to see Nora."

She hadn't had the chance to see Nora when she went to the hospital yesterday.

Harrison seemed hesitant.

Roxanne said straightforwardly, "Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble. I just want to take a look at

her."

Roxanne still remembered the first time she met Nora.

At that time, Nora already knew that she was Harrison's wife who came from a poor family.

Nora also knew that she was her rival in love.

When she crashed into Nora's luxury car, Nora could have made things difficult for her.

But Nora hadn’t acted that way.

Instead, she had blessed her.

At that time, she found it strange that Nora could tell she was newlywed.

A beautiful girl like Nora shouldn't be used by Harrison as a pawn.

Nora had taken the bullet for her.

Otherwise, she would be the one who suffered sexual assault and captured in videos.

When they arrived at the hospital, it was two o’clock at midnight.

The drizzle rain continued.

Everywhere was damp, which was quite annoying.

Roxanne used to love this kind of rainy day.

But today, with her mind in turmoil, the rainy day suddenly felt like the end of the world.

Harrison offered to share an umbrella with Roxanne.

But Roxanne didn't accept it and walked alone.

When they arrived at Nora's ward, Nora’s parents had been persuaded by Alexander to take a rest,

leaving only Samuel standing there, looking exhausted and bloodshot.

Roxanne had heard from Alexander that Samuel liked Nora.

Now that Nora was in this situation, Samuel, who used to wear a roguish smile on his face, no longer

smiled.

Seeing her, Samuel knew she was here to see Nora, and tactfully stepped aside.

A heavy atmosphere enveloped the hospital corridor filled with the smell of disinfectant.

Roxanne glanced at Samuel's retreating figure and felt he was even more pitiable than she was.

After Samuel left, Roxanne stood in front of the glass window outside the intensive care unit for a long

time.

Nora's long, curly hair had been shaved off.

Her body was connected to all kinds of tubes.

The medical monitor displayed a range of data, with reds and greens, appearing fragile as they could

flatline at any moment.

It was a sight that could wrench anyone's heart.

Looking at Nora, Roxanne turned to the person beside her.

"Harrison, you were right. I've been through more than Nora, and I'm stronger than ever. I could survive

without you, but Nora can't."

Suddenly, Roxanne understood Harrison's decision.

She didn't want to hate him.

Hating someone required a lot of energy.

She needed to conserve her strength and keep on surviving.

She wanted to live better with each passing day, to forget the pain and move on as soon as possible.

As she spoke, she unconsciously touched her still-flat abdomen, and her hand trembled.

She tried to regain her composure.

But this subtle trembling didn't escape Harrison's notice.

Harrison felt like he wanted to slap himself, "Roxanne, I'm really sorry."

"Don't apologize!"

Roxanne forced a smile, but soon tears started to flow and she couldn't hold back.

"On the day we got married, I already said it. Everyone must pay for their own choices. Everything that

happened is a consequence of my own choices."

"Anne, please don't say that." Harrison felt like he was a sinner.

"Mr. Rodriguez!" Roxanne wiped away her tears, "You're responsible for another woman now, don't call

me that anymore."

"And, your decision was right. Keeping this child is unfair to anyone. I should have listened to you and

terminated the pregnancy. Take me for the surgery."

"Tomorrow," Harrison suggested reluctantly.

"I don't want to drag this out any longer. You should probably have already made arrangements. Let's

do it now."

Three hours later.

Roxanne walked out of the operating room.

Harrison and Mr. Johnson rushed up to approach her.

When Harrison tried to support her, she pushed his hand away.

Mr. Johnson hurried forward, "Mrs..."

Calling her "Mrs." seemed ironic now, so Mr. Johnson corrected himself.

"Ms. Martinez, here are the deeds to properties worth a billion, along with various real estate, cars, and

a high-end office building in the downtown of Seraphim Haven, and this bank card. These are all the

compensation Mr. Harrison is providing you."

As she accepted the incredibly valuable deeds and various pieces of information, Roxanne laughed.

And then, her laughter turned into tears. "Mr. Rodriguez, should I thank you for suddenly turning me

into a filthy rich woman?"

"These compensations can't make up for everything." His only hope was that she could lead a

comfortable life without any worries for the rest of her days.

Roxanne graciously accepted them, "Alright, I'll take it. From now on, there is no any relationship

between you and me."

Three months later.

Roxanne took off her high heels, replaced them with flat shoes, and appeared outside the maternity

and gynecology clinic.
