Chapter 10 % Before he could finish speaking , Willy , his eyes bloodshot , interrupted him , Impossible ! Carol wont die ! We promised to be together for a lifetime .
She wont leave me alone ! But would she really stay ? Willys mind drifted back to the early years of their marriage .

She ran from meeting to meeting , trying to mend relationships , only to be turned away repeatedly .
One bitter winter night , she had stood outside a partners door for hours , clutching a gift box in her frozen hands , waiting for them to finally see her .
She had secured the deal , but collapsed on her way back , falling gravely ill .
The illness had left permanent damage , making it difficult for her to conceive .
When Willy rushed to the hospital , he had found her lying in bed , pale and frail .
Overcome with guilt , he had held her hand and cried , apologizing over and over .
But Carol had only smiled and wrapped her arms around him .
What is there to apologize for ? Were husband and wife , we face everything together .
Then , with a rare seriousness in her voice , she had added .
But Willy , if one day you betray me , I will leave you completely .
I will never look back .
At the time , he had already known about Benny .
Fear had gripped him and he had sworn to himself that she would never find out .
He had promised to bury the secret forever .
But in the end , she had found out .
The assistant hesitated before placing a laptop in front of Willy .
Mr.
Nelson , the cemetery called .
They said Madam collected the young masters ashes the day before yesterday .
I found it odd , so I looked into it .
I think you need to see this .
Willy clicked on the video file and as the footage played , his heart clenched so painfully that he could hardly breathe .
He saw it all .
Carol , alone at their sons funeral .
Carol , standing in the pouring rain while Sophia arrived in bright red , smiling .
Carol , watching from a distance as Willy held Sophia and whispered to her , as though the loss of their child was nothing more than an inconvenience .
His hands trembled .
He had been so blind .
So cruel .
And when she needed him most , he had not been by her side .
Worse , he had believed Sophias lies and turned against Carol , pushing her even further away .
The assistant had also uncovered a string of messages between Carol and Sophia .
After reading them , Willy sat in silence , as if the weight of the years had suddenly crushed him .
Finally , his voice , hoarse and lifeless , broke the silence .
Release a statement severing all ties between me and my mother .
Make it clear that Benny has no relation to the Nelson Family .
Anyone who spreads rumors will face legal consequences .
} He paused , his expression darkening .
From now on , cut off all financial support to Sophia and her son .
Recover every asset I ever gave her .
If she refuses , use whatever means necessary .
If she ends up crippled or dead , I dont care .
He exhaled sharply , his hands tightening into fists .
} She forced Carol to leave me .
She must pay for it .
The assistants chest tightened .
Without Willys name , Benny would become nothing more than a nameless bastard , abandoned by the world .
! After the assistant left , Willys phone rang .
It was the doctor .
Mr.
Nelson , how is Madams recovery ? Has she been coming in for her check ups ? Willys throat tightened .
She wont be coming .
A long silence stretched between them before the doctor hesitantly asked .
What happened ? Willy swallowed hard , his voice barely above a whisper .
She found out the truth about Liams death .
She found out about the surgery .
She left me .
And then … the plane crashed .
Another pause .
Then the doctor sighed heavily .
Theres something I never told you , Mr.
Nelson .
During the operation , I noticed Madams mouth was bleeding .
Upon examination , I realized she had broken her own teeth .
% Willys blood ran cold .
I thought someone had assaulted her , but hearing this now … she must have been immune to the anesthesia .
She must have overheard everything but didnt want you to know , so she bit down hard enough to break her own teeth just to keep Great Sadness Without Tears 1/2 114/1/2 D have overheard everything but didnt want you to know , so she bit down hard enough to break her own teeth just to keep herself from making a sound .
I cant even imagine how much pain she was in … Willy covered his face with his hands , his entire body trembling.N Dont say it … please dont say it … Please dont remind me of how much of a monster I am .
Of everything Ive lost .
But the doctor wasnt finished .
Mr.
Nelson , as long as the rescue team hasnt found a body , it means theres still hope .
I dont believe someone as strong as Madam would die so easily .
