?Chapter 476:
Neil charged into the room.
Lise stood there, tears spilling down her cheeks like raindrops on ss, each one a reflection of her aching heart. When she spotted Neil, her face lit up as though he were the answer to a desperate prayer. Without hesitation, she threw herself into his arms, her voice choked with emotion. “Neil!”
To anyone watching, she appeared as though she had just endured an immense wrong.
Neil’s concern deepened as he wrapped her tightly in his embrace. “Lise, please don’t cry. The doctor said you need to keep your emotions in check after the miscarriage.”
Katelyn leaned against the headboard, her expression a blend of curiosity and amusement as she observed the scene unfold like a y. From the moment Lise abruptly shifted her tone and expression, Katelyn had realized there was someone outside. By now, she was simply bored.
When Katelyn first encountered this behavior from Lise, the sudden change had thrown her off. But after seeing the same act repeated, it lost its impact, leaving Katelyn feeling nothing but weariness.
Lise wept openly, her words lost in sobs, each cry a desperate attempt to convey the depth of her pain. “I came to share with Katelyn the news of our wedding and to seek her blessing, but instead, she cursed our baby. She said our child deserved to die and never should have been born. Oh, Neil!”
Lise’s sobs filled the room, each cry heavy with sorrow, as if she were mourning a deep loss. “This is all my fault. I didn’t protect our baby. But Katelyn, why would you choose to hurt me like this? Your words cut deeper than any knife.”<fna255> Fresh chapters posted on FιndＮovel</fna255>
Neil’s anger surged, his gaze fierce as he turned to Katelyn. “You are the most heartless person I’ve ever known. I should never have given you so many chances.”

Katelyn frowned, watching Lise’s emotional disy with a mix of skepticism and intrigue. For a fleeting moment, she questioned whether she had truly been so cruel.
With calm resolve, Katelyn met Neil’s intense stare, unflinching.
If looks could kill, Lise would have reduced Katelyn to dust. Katelyn couldn’t ignore the smug satisfaction in Lise’s eyes, a look that sent a chill down her spine.
Neil’s anger simmered, the grief of losing his child weighing heavily on him. “Katelyn, how can you be so heartless? Get down on your knees and apologize to Lise—and to our baby!”
Katelyn paused, momentarily stunned by his outburst. She wondered if they both had suffered concussions in the crash. It felt like these two fragile souls had spiraled into madness—one a theatrical diva, the other a naive pawn. Holding her ground, Katelyn met Neil’s fiery gaze, her voice unwavering. “Why should I? If you want an apology, find the real culprit. The true killer is right beside you.”
She pointed at Lise, her expression fierce. “Open your eyes. This so-called innocent fiancée of yours would sacrifice her own child to get what she desires.”
Lise clutched her chest, tears streaming down her face as the painful truth settled in.
“Katelyn, I could overlook all the insults and attacks you’ve thrown at me before. But this? Is it really that hard to just say you’re sorry? You cling to your grudge all you want, but this is an innocent life we’re talking about. Why would you curse it?”
Katelyn’s eyes flickered with annoyance as she scratched her ear, her posture rxed. “With your talent for the dramatic, you’d fit right in on stage.”
“Cut the nonsense, Katelyn! Get off the bed and apologize right now, or don’t me me if I lose it!” Neil’s anger surged, reaching a level he had never felt before. His resentment and disappointment toward Katelyn swirled together with a storm of other emotions, erupting in that moment. He had never experienced such a deep rage before.
When he saw Katelyn’s unyielding calm, it only fueled his frustration. He reached out to grab her wrist, but in an instant, something cold and hard pressed against his chest.
