Chapter 1452


    In the hospital room, ric couldn''t contain his inner turmoil as he poured his heart out to Hertha,


    only to be met with the beeping of the heart monitor as his sole response.


    Herthay motionless on the bed, eyes shut, so still it seemed as if ric was the only soul in the


    room.


    The once feisty Hertha, who loved to banter with ric, nowy silent as if she were nothing more


    than a breathing statue.


    A heavy pain settled in ric''s chest.


    The thought of Lysander, who had suffered a head injury and beatose, tormented him. He


    dreaded the thought of Hertha sharing the same fate.


    The feelings he had suppressed within his heart for three long years could no longer be contained.


    People can be quite peculiar. When the person they deeply loved was doing well, they would often


    have countless concerns and would restrain their strong longing, avoiding reaching out to them. But


    when the person encountered trouble and they realized there was a possibility of losing them


    forever, the emotions in their hearts could no longer be hidden, and they couldn''t help but reveal


    them.


    Taking a deep breath, ric leaned in close to Hertha, gently lifting her unencumbered hand, his


    thumb softly caressing the back of it. His voice was hoarse with emotion. "Hertha, I''m sorry. I


    missed you for three years, but..."


    He paused, swallowing the painful lump in his throat, the rest of his sentence remaining unspoken.


    “But now you''re Spencer''s wife. No matter how much I yearn for you, what can I do? I can''t make


    you stray, and I refuse to be the viin in your marriage to Spencer,” he thought.


    Outside the room, Georgia struggled to contain the whirlwind of emotions within her, attempting to


    heed her mother’s advice to stay calm andposed.


    However, the words spoken by ric inside the roomnded like a brutal punch to her already


    bruised heart, igniting the simmering rage into a furious ze that she could no longer suppress.


    Bursting from behind the door, Georgia stormed into the room, nearly hysterical, shouting as she


    approached ric, "ric, do you even hear yourself? I''m your fiancée, and you''re herementing


    over missing three years with another woman! Where does that leave me?"


    Her piercing voice echoed in every corner of the room.


    ric’s sorrow was instantly reced by tension as he looked up to see Georgia, fuming,


    advancing toward the bedside.


    His heart clenched, and he stood up abruptly, blocking Georgia just before she reached the bed, his


    hand pressing against her shoulder as he pushed her back. "Georgia, if you want to lose it, go


    home!"


    As he spoke angrily, ric measured his strength, pushing Georgia out of the room.

    He was anxious; Hertha had just been transferred from the ICU to a regr ward and was still in a


    critical state. Georgia''s shrill voice could deafen anyone, let alone Hertha, who had suffered a head


    injury. Any carelessness could be life-threatening.


    Desperately, he tried to get Georgia out of the room.


    "ric, let go of me!" Georgia was on the edge of a breakdown, her anger boiling over as she had


    come to confront ric.


    ric, in his single-minded focus on another woman, treated her rudely, physically pushing her out


    of the room without a hint of gentleness, causing her shoulder des to ache from the force.


    Feeling uncherished only fueled Georgia’s fury, her heart close to bursting with anger.


    But ric wouldn''t listen to her; his mind was consumed with thoughts of Hertha. If he allowed


    Georgia to continue her tirade in the room, Hertha''s life could be at risk at any moment.
