No Strings Attached

Chapter 197 Sasha wiped away her tears, her eyes blazing with anger as she confronted him. “Do you even know why Clara broke up with you? Do you think it was just ssilly jealousy? On her birthday, she planned to propose to you.

She cut her hands up decorating the place by herself. And you? You were whisked away by a single call from Heidi, leaving her all alone at home.” “When she was hemorrhaging from miscarriage, she called you, and you accused her of being hysterical. If it weren't for Edwin's timely rescue, she would have bled to death.

“lan, if you had an ounce of feeling for Clara, you wouldn't have ignored call after call when she needed your signature for surgery. You even turned off your phone. If you cared even slightly, you wouldn’t have taken her to donate blood to Heidi after she had already lost so much of her own.

“Do you realize she has a rare blood type? There was no stock in the blood bank, and there was a nationwide appeal for donors. If it weren't for skind soul who donated just in time, Clara would be dead. But you? You were with Heidi when Clara needed you most You told her that your relationship was nothing but a fling when she was in her deepest pain from losing a child.

“You pushed her away mercilessly, choosing to believe Heidi's lies over her truth. If you hadn't believed Heidi, you wouldn't have abandoned Clara when she was almost driven mad by her mother. You spoke such cruel words to her when she was drugged and close to death.

“lan, you're a monster. You've never done a single decent thing for Clara. Now that she’s finally moving past that heartbreaking relationship, you've gone and destroyed her happiness.

“Do you think she’s not miserable enough? lan, you're a bloody bastard!” Sasha grew more livid with every word, lunging at lan yx Chase caught her mid-stride, whispering urgently in her ear, “Enough, just let it out and leave it. You know t he’s like. Aren’t you scared hell retaliate?” “Bring it on! I'm not afraid. Whether it’s blacklisting or silencing, just do it swiftly. Does having money and power mean you can trample all over us regular folks? Is there no justice left in this world?” p, even I can’t protect you. Clara’s gone.

Chase clamped a hand over her mouth and carried her out forcefully “Gosh, if you keep this up, Arent you worried about her safety? Go find her, now” That's when Sasha realized the gravity of the situation. She smacked Chase and stormed off, fuming.

Back in the private room, lan sat like a statue, haunted by the image of Clara bleeding and pleading for his help.

He remembered clearly Clara had called him multiple times, her voice weak. He had brushed her off, thinking she was just on her period. He called her imational and abandoned her

At her most critical moment, he refused to show up and sign he necessary papers .Clara must have detested him by then, hence her insistence on breaking up, no matter what he offered to make her stay.

Reflecting on all this, a burning sensation filled lan’s eyes, and his chest felt as if hammered repeatedly. That piercing pain made him forget to breathe. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

His forlom gaze turned to Edwin. “What... what was she like at that time?”

Edwin took a sip of his drink, his voice grave. There was blood all over the driver's seat . She was passed out cold .When I got her to the hospital, the doctors said a little later and she f sn might not have made it" “Why didn’t you tellit was so serious?” “It was her wish. She said even if you knew, it wouldn't change anything. She wanted to keep sdignity for herself Those words were like icy needles, stabbing into every nerve lan had. Clara had given up on him completely, hence her choice to hide everything.

Even when he dragged her to donate blood for Heidi, she'd rather faint than tell him the truth. How deeply disappointed she must have been to protect herself like that
