Fleeting as Dust, Eternal as Love novel Chapter 4

He doesn’t believe it! This must be another one of her tricks, another act she’s putting on.

“Are you satisfied now? Are you finally satisfied…?” Sabrina’s laughter was piercing, chilling him to the bone.

“Jonah, I regret it…”

Jonah didn’t know what she regretted. The sight of the bright red blood on the ground sent a cold, bitter feeling crawling up from his heart, making it impossible for him to stay another minute.

Agitated, he turned away, harsh words spilling from his lips. “Shameless! You’ll go to any lengths to avoid a divorce! Damn it, stay here! Come in when you’ve finally thought it through.”

With that, he turned and left.

The butler, who had been standing at a distance, hurried after him, anxious. “Sir…”

“Shut up! No one is to help her! Let her keep acting!” Jonah barked as he stormed up the stairs. Knowing he couldn’t change his mind, the butler stopped at the bottom of the stairs, glancing back at Sabrina outside the door, who was on the brink of madness. Unable to bear the sight, he turned away.

He had watched these two grow up. They had been so good together once—how had things fallen apart like this?

Sabrina felt her body growing colder, the air around her so still that she couldn’t hear a sound. She stared up at the sky, slowly closing her eyes.

...

When Colin arrived after hearing the news, he was met with a heartbreaking sight.

The woman who had always been so dazzling and vibrant now lay abandoned at the villa entrance, her body a chaotic mess, motionless. The villa doors were tightly shut, with no one caring whether she lived or died.

She wanted to tell Colin that she regretted it—she regretted falling in love with Jonah…

But she was so tired now. She didn’t think she could hold on…

Colin leaned closer, straining to hear what she was trying to say, but he couldn’t make out a word.

Just then, the doctors and nurses arrived, swiftly wheeling a gurney toward them. Colin carefully placed Sabrina on the bed, his eyes inadvertently falling on her abdomen.

It was at this moment that he noticed the large, abnormal bloodstain on her lower abdomen.

Colin froze, his hands trembling uncontrollably. He gently moved Sabrina’s hand away from her belly and lifted the torn fabric, revealing the knife wound that made him stagger back in shock.
