My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 241

I was fading in and out of consciousness the whole time. I felt like my entire life was flashing before myeyes. My parents were the first people who came to my mind, followed by Leon and Quinn. Then camethe first highlight of my life—Christopher, followed by my pathetic marriage to Nicholas. Then cameShawn, the most recent person who came into my life. I felt like I had never been in love my whole life,but Shawn was the one person who helped me understand how it felt like to be treasured by anotherperson.

Shawn was the one who provided me with firm and unconditional love when I was at the lowest point inmy life. He gave me faith. In fact, he became my faith. I loved him as much as I loved my faith. Whatdid it mean to have faith? Faith was the one thing that people sought without ever blaspheming it.

However, Shawn's attack and his words utterly shattered my faith. His mother ended up being the oneperson who changed him entirely. He had promised that he would let me handle this, yet he wentagainst his word. I felt myself getting drowsier as my eyelids grew heavier. I could hear someonetalking. "Mom, the doctor said that Renee is the one who refuses to wake up, but the Xenos Family isasking for their head of the family right now."

A gentle voice was the one who made the decision. "We can hand her back to them since she's thehead of their family. The castle is not going to be peaceful if she stays, which will make it hard for her torecuperate." After that conversation, I could feel people moving me around, yet I didn't want to open myeyes to see what was going on.

At that moment, two children about seven or eight months old started crawling toward me in my head.The children looked like that guy, and I tried to let out a scream of fear. Yet, I couldn't seem to make

any sound. The children's faces grew increasingly clearer, and I was trying my best to chase themaway when they suddenly stood tall and transformed into Shawn!

"Mr. Kalt, her condition is rather unstable," a voice said.

Another familiar voice responded to that statement. "Is she having a nightmare? Hurry up and call thedoctors."

I could hear my heartbeat thumping in my ears. When I forced my eyes open, I found Anthony andJoseph standing before me. "Where am I?" I asked hesitantly.

"We're on the way back to Eldham, Miss," Anthony replied patiently. I shut my eyes once more. "Howlong have I been out?"

"23 days," Anthony replied. 23 days… That means that thanksgiving is over. It also means that I'vemissed out on Shawn's 28th birthday. Well, who am I to celebrate his birthday with him? "When'sChristmas Eve?" I asked again.

"It's five days until Christmas, Miss," Anthony replied. That means it's four days until my 25th birthday, Ithought. Throughout the years, I had never once received birthday wishes from my loved ones. "Is itsnowing in Eldham?" I asked quietly. Anthony shot Joseph a look, and moments later, Joseph foundthe answer.

"There was a snowstorm in Eldham yesterday, Miss. It's going to be pouring rain today," Joseph stated.I preferred it when Eldham was cold, chilly, and bleak with its harsh storms. "Let's head back to Eldhamthen," I ordered in a soft tone.

"Do you want to go back to Felix's Villa or the apartment?" Anthony asked.

"I want to head back to the villa, but a different one. Buy a new one for me," I instructed. The mostexclusive villas in Eldham were located at the top of the mountains on the outskirts of town, and thatarea was highly secluded and quiet. Furthermore, since it was at the top of the mountains, theresidents there would be the first to experience any snow or rainfall when it came.

I had previously visited that residential area—Nicholas had brought me over to stay for a night. AsJoseph drove past the residential area, I saw a little kitten curled up in front of one of the villas. Thekitten's ginger-colored fur was dripping wet, and it looked like a sorry sight. The lights were turned on inthe house, and it seemed like people were living inside. Is it possible that Nicholas still stays here?

"I want you to check the details of this house," I told Anthony. Anthony made a call and reported theaddress and house number to the other person on the phone. Soon enough, he got back to me. "Thathouse belongs to Nicholas, but Old Master Yates and Madam Yates are the ones staying there now,"he said.

I froze for a moment. "Do you mean Benedict Yates is staying there?"

Anthony explained patiently, "Yes. As per your orders, I got Alice to… Well, she lost her mind, and theYates Family decided to join forces with the Forgers since they weren't stable on their own. In otherwords, Nicholas is the one in charge of Yates Corporation now. He allowed Old Master Yates andMadam Yates to move into this villa, and some of their other family members are staying there as well.The younger generations are staying in Ashere, and Alice has been admitted into a mental hospital."

A while ago, I bumped into Alice at Merlin's engagement. Back then, Alice still hadn't learned her

lesson, and she was still trying to pick fights with me. I ended up calling Anthony and ordering him todeal with Alice. I hadn't asked about Alice after this incident, so I had no idea that she had beenadmitted to a mental hospital. Well, I guess this is what she gets for being so cocky!

I let out a sigh and didn't probe any further regarding this matter. Instead, I reached my hand over tofeel the spot where I had been stabbed in the stomach. There was a protruding scar, but it no longerfelt as bloody and raw as before. The scar had formed exactly on the lisianthus flower!

Soon enough, we arrived at the villa that Anthony had prepared for me. It was just a little bit furtherdown the villa that belonged to Nicholas. From where I stayed, I could see everything that happened inNicholas' garden. Fortunately, it was just Benedict who was staying there—that didn't bother me toomuch. After all, I was just staying there until I felt better, so I figured that I wouldn't be there for long.

After I got out of the car, Joseph held up an umbrella for me while Anthony casually reminded me of myinjuries. "Miss, the doctor mentioned that your uterus suffered some injury because you were kickeddirectly in the stomach. You might experience some occasional pain, and you'll have to take painkillerswhenever that happens. Also, you suffered a slight concussion, so the doctor said that you would haveto take some time to heal. You'll have to take your medication daily and refrain from consuming spicyfoods."

I nodded before walking into the villa. "All your old bodyguards were killed after the incident in Finland,so Joseph is the only one who's still working under you. We've chosen 23 new bodyguards for you. Thesecurity measures taken to protect you have also been reinforced, so the Xenos Family will be able totrack your location anywhere and anytime."

I couldn't believe it—Joseph was one of my 24 bodyguards who survived the trip to Finland. If Josephhadn't tried to distract the enemy back then, he might have died along with the rest of the bodyguards.

Those 24 bodyguards had worked with me for nearly a year by then, and I knew every single one ofthem. I couldn't believe that they were all gone! My heart ached for each one of them. That was themoment I knew that I could never forgive the man for what happened.

My insides bubbled with hatred as I gave Anthony my orders. "I want you to make sure that all of thelost bodyguards' families are taken care of. The Xenos Family will be responsible for their parents'aging and retirement as well as their children's education. Also, with what happened in Finland… I wantyou to run a thorough investigation to replace out about the organization that was responsible for this. Theyhave to be destroyed!"

Anthony froze for a moment before responding. "Got it, Miss. When do you want to get this done?" Ifthe Xenos Family wanted to destroy an entire organization, they certainly had the power to do it! "Youcan just run an investigation for now. I'll head over to their base camp personally after the new yearcelebrations!" I wanted to make sure that Shawn regretted everything he did. I wanted those whoshamed and embarrassed me to pay for what they had done!

"Alright. I'll hand you the details by tomorrow," Anthony said. I let out a sigh before calling for Anthonyagain. "Yes, Miss," he replied.

"I want you to go over to my apartment in Eldham and bring the global map of influence to me. I alsowant you to adjust the two rings to fit the size of my fingers," I uttered in an icy tone.

"Miss, what are you trying to do?" Anthony was shocked.

"What Shawn would do," I replied.
