Chapter 100
Days had passed since the chaos within the Song estate. Song Yue had been discovered locked inside his study, both legs bloodied from gunshot wounds inflicted by his own son. Fortunately, he was found in time and rushed to the Song family’s private hospital. Though he survived, he would never walk again.
It had been Kai’s intention to torture Song Ren to death, to make him suffer slowly and cruelly before finally ending his life. But Song Yue, despite his pain, despite the betrayal, had pleaded for his son’s life. He said he couldn’t bear to lose another child.
Kai listened.
He spared Song Ren’s life, but not without ensuring Song Ren’s legs were shattered, his arms severed. What remained of him was a breathing husk. He was crippled, humiliated, and locked away, far from sight. As for Yoo Hwa, she was kept with her husband to take care of him.
Since then, Kai had barely left Amelia’s side. His obsession with her safety had only grown fiercer. He was paranoid, and she could see it in the way his eyes never stopped scanning their surroundings, in the way he gripped her hand just a little too tightly when they walked.
Amelia didn’t blame him.
She, too, was scared. Though she’d faced death once, she was not eager to face it again especially since now, more than ever, she had things she wanted to live for.
And now, it was time to return to Country A after Kai had managed to stabilize the affairs of the Song family.
In the garden, where the spring breeze gently stirred the petals of blooming camellias, Song Yue sat in a wheelchair, a thick wool blanket draped over his frail legs. He looked older now, smaller somehow, but his gaze was still fierce.
