Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie Hoven )
Chapter 520

Chapter 520 He Feels Quilty

Just as she couldn’t change William’s fading feelings, she couldn’t hold onto this child either.

The doctor’s hand rested gently over her eyes, and tears streamed down her cheeks as she closed them. Then, the world dissolved into darkness.

After the dilatation and curettage of uterus procedure was over, the nurse wheeled Emelie back to the ward. She was already awake, but she still hadn’t recovered from the shock of her unexpected pregnancy and its even more unexpected end.

The nurse began the admission process. “Room 1703, Emelie Hoven. Is your family here? Emelie? Where’s your family?”

Emelie’s lips trembled, but no sound emerged.

Another nurse empathized with her and said, “I take care of it. When she was in the ambulance, she had already given me her ID and bank card. She asked me to register for her and use the card to cover the fees. She doesn’t.”

Emelie finally broke her silence. “I don’t have any family.”

She swallowed the lump in her throat. It was a crushing blow for her to lose her child to an unforeseen tragedy.

shecurled up. In the end, she couldn’t hold it in anymore and cried sorrowfully.

The hospital staff, upon admitting Emelie, had also reported the incident to the police. After Emelie was given time to calm down, they entered the ward to take her statement.

Emelie recounted what happened in detail. The police were on high alert immediately. “Did this ‘Boss” have a tattoo of a tiger on his neck?”

“Yes, he did,” Emelle confirmed.

The police explained, “This gang is operating across several towns, trafficking women and children. We’ve been tracking them for a while. Don’t worry. We’ll catch them and do justice to you and the other victims!”

Emelle stayed in the hospital for three days.

On the third day, the officer in charge called and told her they had caught the traffickers. The investigation process would follow, and once a solid case was built, they would be brought to courË

After a few weeks, the police called Emelle again to inform her that the public prosecution was underway. By then, Emelie was trying to leave Cloudex Corporation but was being held back by William. So, she didn’t have the energy to care about the case.

The perpetrators had already been caught anyway. The sentence, whatever it may be, was out of her hands. Counting down the days, she knew the verdict should be out any day

Emelie took a deep breath as she woke up, the events from a year ago playing out in her mind like a distant dream.

Right now, she wasn’t in the abandoned factory nor lying on the hospital bed. She was in a guest room in Eastbay.

She sat up. William got up as well, and he stared at her intently in the dark.

Emelle asked, “May I borrow your computer? I want to check the court’s website and see the final verdict on that case,”

“The mastermind, Landon Cruz, was sentenced to death in the first trial. The others received prison terms ranging from three to ten years. Landon appealed, and the second trial is ongoing,” William said in a low voice. “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure they get what they deserve, no matter if it’s death or rotting in jail”

Emele remained silent.

William held her hand, wanting to pull her into his embrace, but Emelie resisted. He didn’t insist and just caressed her wrist with his thumb.

william had only learned the truth after getting Lyle to investigate it. It turned out that she wasn’t hing when she told him that she was kidnapped and would be killed because he didn’t answer her calls.

Emelie could tell that he was guilty by his actions, and she smiled bitterly. What exactly was he guilty of? Not picking up both of her calls back t Initially? Or perhaps it was something else?

then? Or doubting her miscarriage

“Remember telling me you met Daphine at Capebatt University freshmen party? The irony of it all! There I was, lodnapped i

| suffering a miscarriage, while you were busy taking

“And that drinking party? You specifically called me to drink in her stead. And all this, just three days after I lost our baby.” William had explained himself to Emelie before, saying that he never had any feelings for Daphne. But hearing Emelie bring this matter up again, a lump formed in his throat, and he felt a pang in his heart

“I’m sorry,” he mumbled.

“Do you have any idea how much it took for me to forgive you, and to even give us another chance?” she said through gritted teeth and snatched her hand away from him. “And how did you treat me?”

Logically, she knew neither the kidnapping nor the miscarriage were caused by him directly. But she was hurt physically and emotionally at the time. So, seeing him replace someone new and even using Daphine to humiliate her time and time again hurt her extremely badly.

She had mastered all her courage to try to be together with him and spared no effort to rebuild that trust, but what did he do? Hesh

He shattered it all to pieces.

“WILLun, do you rem know how much I hate you right now?” Emelle said
