Chapter 9
Ambrose’s expression darkened, his gaze heavy with regret. After a long silence, he spoke hoarsely, “It was my fault before. Can you come home with me?”
He suddenly turned to Kaden, his teeth gritted in anger. “Kaden, are you even human? Jasmine’s been missing for so long, and you kept her from me; you took advantage of her!“}
He reached for me, but I quickly stepped behind Kaden.
Just then, chaos erupted outside the door. A disheveled woman stormed in, throwing herself at Ambrose.
“Ambrose! The doctor said I can still be treated! We can still have children!”
Ambrose kicked her away, and she crumpled to the ground. When she looked up and saw me, her face twisted with venom.
“Jasmine?! Why aren’t you dead yet?!”
She screamed, her voice cracking with rage. “Ambrose killed my child for you!“}]
A group of people in white coats rushed in and dragged her out.
I tugged at Kaden’s sleeve and whispered, “He is terrifying; hetreats her own woman so cruelly.”
Ambrose’s face paled as he turned to me. “Jasmine, what’s wrong with you?”
“She lost her memory,” Kaden’s voice cut in. “She doesn’t remember the past anymore.“}
With a sudden thud, Ambrose collapsed to his knees, his body hitting the floor with a sickening sound.
Trembling, he reached out a hand. “Jasmine…“}]
“Jasmine! I know I was wrong!” His eyes were bloodshot, his voice shaking, like someone on the verge of collapse under unbearable weight.
“Pretending to have amnesia, that was wrong. Are you trying to get back at me now?“>
He pulled out a crumpled stack of hospital reports from his pocket, his fingers trembling as he fumbled with the papers. “I checked all the records. That’s when I found out you…” His voice faltered, choked with emotion, and he couldn’t continue.}
Kaden calmly stepped in front of me, blocking my view. “Jasmine, do you want to talk to him?”
“No!” ! flinched as if I’d been struck, clutching Kaden’s coat tightly.
Ambrose tried to step forward again, but Kaden’s cold stare froze him in place.
Standing there, Ambrose’s voice broke, raw with emotion. “Jasmine, I’ll prove it to you. This time, I truly know I was wrong.“)
Before he could say more, I pulled Kaden with me, rushing away.
Behind us, I could hear the sound of muffled sobs, but I refused to look back.
“That guy’s crazy, isn’t he?” I muttered under my breath, not realizing my hand was still trembling.

“Jasmine, whether you remember or not, give me a chance to love you again, please.” “All the pain I caused, it was all my fault. Let me make it right.

I placed my coffee cup down gently, met his eyes without wavering, and said, “No.”
