Chapter 764  His Sincere Apology

Day Seventy-Nine…

~~*****~~

[ At Country J: Sakura District Hospital… ]

Mia was under observation. She was still in critical condition and she had to stay in the Intensive Care Unit. Fortunately, Jane’s blood was maximized during the blood transfusion. Jane had been standing outside the ICU, just watching Mia through the glass window.

Hanabi accompanied her but she didn’t know what to say to comfort her. “Sis, you should eat first. You look pale. You might collapse if you stay here like this.”

“I’m fine. I don’t have an appetite. I don’t want to leave Mia. I’ll be watching her until her condition becomes better.” Jane’s motherly love could be seen in her eyes. She had no time to care about anything else. All she could think of was Mia… her daughter.

Jane was oblivious to the fact that, apart from Mia, Ethan needed her. He wanted to talk to her and hear her voice. But unfortunately, Jane didn’t pay any attention to her phone. Nathan attempted to reach out to her as well. However, she had become unreachable, and her phone’s battery was now depleted.

“Okay. I’ll just get you some water.” Hanabi excused herself first. Jane was left alone in the ICU. Soon, she heard footsteps coming in. She turned around only to see Vincent.

“Jane, let’s talk…” Vincent softly said, glancing at Mia.

“Just speak. I have no energy to argue with you today.” Jane said in her indifferent tone.

“I want to apologize for what I said…” Vincent started. He had a sullen look on his face as he observed Mia. Her mouth was covered with an oxygen mask and her head was wrapped with bandages. “I’m not going to force you to marry me. I was so desperate for your love. I admit… I was wrong. I’m sorry for using Mia to blackmail you. I’m not going to do that anymore. I only wish for her to survive this. I want her to recover quickly.” Vincent’s words were filled with sincerity as he talked about Mia.

“I apologize for taking her away from you, for stealing the time and years that you should have spent taking care of her as her mother. I robbed you of that opportunity,” Vincent continued to express his remorse to her.

“I promise… this time I will correct my mistakes. I’ll pay for what I did to you… for making you suffer. I’ll protect you from her.” He was referring to Monica. “I’m so stupid. A selfish jerk. I should have done this a long time ago… but I was blinded by my hatred against my father and Nathan.”

Jane had conflicting thoughts just hearing those words from Vincent. He was so different from the Vincent she had known. Today, he was admitting his wrongdoings and apologizing to her sincerely.

“I’ll go back to Country M… and deal with Monica myself. Please take good care of Mia on my behalf.” He paused for a moment, clenching his fists. “Jane… believe it or not… despite those deceptions and lies… there is only one truth. My feelings for you are real. I like you, Jane. I have fallen in love with you.” He confessed his feelings for one last time before he turned around and walked away.

At that certain moment, Jane glanced in Vincent’s direction. Her heart constricted and her tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. Before she knew it, she was already shedding tears as she sobbed silently.

‘If only an apology could erase those unpleasant memories and my pain… but, Vincent, a simple apology can’t undo those things. I can’t forgive you right now. However, I am grateful to you for taking care of Mia and raising her. All I ask for now is for her to be safe. I can’t bear to lose her again.’ Jane pressed her palms against the glass window as if she was caressing Mia’s face.

Meanwhile, Vincent had made up his mind. He was now determined to end things with Monica. He just discovered her evil deeds. Phoenix just confirmed that Monica was the one who murdered Maximilian Carlsen.

Monica was someone who didn’t want to be controlled. Vincent was afraid that Monica would do more harm to Jane. Before she could do that, Vincent had to make a move. He just realized that his feelings for Monica weren’t love. He was just reluctant to part with her because he felt indebted to her. For the loneliest and darkest moment of his life, Monica was there, supporting and comforting him. He thought she was his salvation. But as time went by, he realized that Monica was no longer the woman whom he had known before.

She changed drastically. And she was now out of control. He kept asking himself if he was the one who made her like this. Was it his fault that Monica became more evil?

As he headed to his car, Vincent contacted Phoenix who was still secretly monitoring Monica’s movement. “How is your surveillance?” Vincent asked his loyal subordinate.

“My King… Monica is currently here in one of our secret hideouts. I believe your father is being held captive here. I hear Chairman Xu’s voice, screaming at her. I think the two are having a fight inside.” Phoenix reported.

“Retreat for now, Phoenix. I’m returning today. I’ll deal with her myself.” Vincent said with conviction.

Monica’s action left him with no choice. He didn’t ask her to kill Maximilian nor kidnap Old Man Xu. She was making things difficult for her. Sooner or later, she would ruin everything. Vincent would not allow her to do that.

‘It’s time to give her a lesson and punish her for real. I can no longer tolerate her.’ Vincent murmured to himself.

“Okay, my King. I’m pulling out now. But… is it okay with you… it looks like Miss Monica is going to torture your father. Don’t you want me to do something?” Phoenix consulted Vincent first.

“No. Just let her be. I still hate that old man. Though I don’t want him to die, I don’t want to protect him. After all, he deserves some beatings. He has never been a good father to me… not even once.” There was a hint of bitterness in his voice.

“Understood… My King.”
