075 How much suffering have you endured all these years ? Hazel had always been the sensible one , the kind of daughter who never burdened anyone with her troubles .
No matter the storm raging in her heart , she always wore a smile and brought good news Her mother knew just how deeply Hazel loved Ambrose Over the e years , she had tried to bring Hazel back home , but each time , Hazel hesitated , torn by the thought of leaving Ambrose .
And so , the matter was left unresolved .
But if Gianna had known what Hazel had endured , even the risk of breaking them apart would have seemed worth it .
No mother would allow her child to suffer like that .
Mom , Hazel said gently , setting a bowl of preserved egg and creamy pork risotto in front of her .
We promised .
No more thinking about the past .
To Hazel , it wasnt suffering .
Love had a way of making everything feel necessary , even when it hurt .
When Hazel loved Ambrose , she often felt like she was giving everything , never once counting whether he returned her love in equal measure .
If she hadnt seen how Ambrose adored Scarlett so openly , she might have continued to love him blindly , without a second thought .
Alright , we wont talk about it , her mother said , shaking her head with a smile .
My daughter is the best , let those who cant appreciate her live with regret ! After the meal , her mother eagerly gave Hazel all the jewelry and accessories she had collected over the years .
Slipping a large diamond ring onto her finger , Hazel admired it , realizing it was far more beautiful than the wedding ring she had once dreamed of As she marveled at its sparkle , the doorbell rang When she opened the door , she froze , caught off guard .
She hadnt expected Ambrose to show up , much less to arrive so soon .
Ambrose had always prioritized his career above everything else .
Hazel remembered a time when she had a high fever and needed him to take her to the hospital .
But in his study , consumed by his work , Ambrose only spared three seconds to call for help when he found Hazel unconscious from the fever .
He never once stirred or uttered a single word of concern .
Hazel found it almost impossible to fathom that someone like Ambrose , so consumed by his business , wo leave everything behind and travel so far just to find her .
Come back home with me .
Ambrose said , his expression a stone mask but his voice unyielding Hazels lips curled into a frown at the coldness in his words .
This is my home , she replied .
His stoic demeanor stung like a shard of ice in his chest .
The coldness in her voice struck a chord with him , and he thought back to the last look shed given him and the raw ache of loss that had swept over him .
Only now in this quiet moment , he fully realized what he had lost.
Running Away from Marage Leaving in hind It was the same cute , childlike Hazel who had once chattered endlessly , always clinging to him .
Now, as he stood before her , Ambrose felt a sharp , suffocating weight in his chest .
It was as if the air had thickened , and he found himself desperately trying to grasp onto something , anything , to hold on to Hazel , stop messing around , he said , his voice strained .
I know you saw the surveillance video .
It wasnt true … those were just impulsive words .
For the first time , Ambrose lowered his head , his words dripping with sincerity as he apologized .
Im sorry , Hazel , Ive been caught up in everything lately and failed to see how it affected you .
I promise it wont happen again .
Please believe me , no matter what , I truly love you I never wanted to hurt you .
As soon as he spoke , a heavy silence settled over them .
Ambrose stood frozen , struck by the weight of his own words Before coming here , hed been consumed with anger , determined to make Hazel understand her place as his wife .
But the moment he saw her, all of that fury seemed to evaporate He couldnt bring himself to speak another harsh word to her , not when she looked at him like that .
