Antonio’s eyes flickered with a momentary touch of emotion, then returned to complete stillness.
“I didn’t need you to do these things for me, offending the Walton family. In the future, you wouldn’t even know how to die.”
Courtney had a smile on her face, but there were tears in her
eyes.
“This was my own business.”
Antonio pointed to the sofa, indicating Courtney to sit down.
He took a deep breath and slowly began to speak.
“Courtney, stop it.”
Courtney frowned slightly, her eyes filled with determination.
“Give up? Impossible. I said, everything has nothing to do with you.”
“No, you didn’t understand.”
Antonio interrupted her, his voice hoarse and weary.
“I never thought of seeking revenge on Grace, she was my wife, even though she no longer acknowledges it.”
Courtney looked at Antonio in disbelief.
“Why? She hurt you, and now she is getting married to

someone else.”
Antonio shook his head and gazed into the distance.
“It was me who betrayed her.”
“Year after year, Grace remained well, but I couldn’t find passion in this relationship.”

At that moment, Yesenia came back. She was the girl I had a secret crush on when I was young, my lifesaver, and most importantly, she was nothing like Grace.
“Bright, passionate, like a rose.”
“I neglected Grace, deceiving myself that soon I would return to the family, after all, he loved me so much and we still had our only daughter.”
“Grace had only one grandmother, and she couldn’t live without me, so I recklessly hurt her…”
Courtney’s eyes flickered, and she remained silent.
Antonio stared into her eyes, his gaze devoid of any life.
Later, Grace’s grandmother died because the house collapsed. She had a chance to see her for the last time, but I was with Yesenia at that time and I refused her.
“Yesenia lied to me and said she would send someone to pick up my daughter Talia, but she didn’t go. Talia encountered a criminal and was cut into seven pieces.”
Courtney was shocked as she covered her mouth. She had never imagined that Antonio was hiding such pain behind him.

“Courtney, she hated me and she had every reason to.”

“At the beginning, I still wanted to win her back, to make her love me.”
Later, he looked at me with eyes as cold as a stranger, devoid not only of love but even of hatred.
“Then I would rather she hated me.”
Courtney watched as her long–time crush suffered, her heart twisted like a knife.
“Can I accompany you on the last days?”
Her love for Grace was no less than his.
Antonio glanced at her indifferently.
“Courtney, you were great, but you weren’t Grace.”
“Until today, I finally realized what I had lost, but even if I regret it now, I no longer have the chance.”
Antonio called for his assistant.
“This matter was done by me, there was no need to involve Courtney.”
Courtney’s eyes welled up with tears, her body trembling slightly, and her voice quivering.
“Antonio, she no longer loved you, please stop bothering her, okay?”

“And as for me, I am not worth you fighting for this matter on my behalf. I know the outcome, and for your sake, I don’t care.”
Antonio looked indifferent, with a mind to take a puff of cigarette.
“You thought too much, Ms. Lloyd.”
“Everything I did was for Grace.”
“If I didn’t have a terminal illness, I would never let go of Grace, even if she hated me and blamed me, even if I clung to her for the rest of my life, until the moment of my death.”
“Unfortunately, I was really dying, but I couldn’t bear it.”
“She had been working hard for many years, and suddenly I couldn’t bear to let her continue to suffer like this.”
Courtney remained silent for a while, as she looked at the man in front of her, who was completely disfigured by pain. Slowly, she nodded.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you. I would stop.”
