Reborn To Remarry My Ex Husband

Chapter 443 Regret

Suzanna knew, under Melody's piercing gaze, that any attempt to faint would be met with another agonizing stab, forcing her back to wakefulness.

Fear completely consumed her.

"I heard that these hands of yours look a lot like mine.

"Hmm, Suzanna, take a look now. Do we still look alike?"

Melody's tone was light, almost lazy. She stretched out her own right hand, its skin glowing under the light, flawless and delicate.

Suzanna, forced to endure the pain, extended her own hand. Her ring finger was gone, and a large section of the skin on the back of her hand had been peeled away.

Suzanna had always been proud of her beauty, especially her hands, which she considered a woman's second face.

Now, marred and mutilated, they were a cruel reminder of her shattered vanity.

"No... no, we don't look alike anymore," Suzanna stammered.

"I'll never dare again! Never! I'll never pretend to be you again! Please, I beg you, stop torturing me. I know I was wrong. I really do!"

Tears streamed down Suzanna's face as she sobbed pitifully, like a fallen flower battered by the storm. She had no more room to retreat. Tyrell had returned to the country, and his strength was yet uncertain. But standing by Melody's side were both Edward and Alfred from the Moore family, their casual presence exuding an unmistakable pressure.

Even Sean didn't dare move a muscle.

Cameron sat on a stretcher nearby, his expression dark as he watched the scene unfold.

Was this the Suzanna he had once protected and cherished so desperately?

She was nothing more than a habitual thief.

And yet he had trusted her blindly for so long.

Now, guilt for Melody gnawed at him like a thorn lodged deep in his throat.

Even as he watched her ruthlessly torment Suzanna, a strange illusion crept into his mind-that Melody was venting her anger on his behalf.

His thoughts wandered to the four years since Melody had returned to the Shield family.

In Melody's eyes, he had always been the sibling closest to her, second only to their fifth brother, Gary.

If that was the case...

Then perhaps her actions toward Suzanna now were rooted in her lingering feelings for him, fueled by her frustration over his past mistakes.

Maybe, just maybe, his relationship with Melody could still be repaired.

Cameron's gaze softened as he mulled over his thoughts.

He looked up earnestly, his eyes, once gentle, now brimming with a new tenderness.

"Mel," he began, his voice sincere, "I know you regret this for me too.

"It's okay. You've already done your best.

"As for Suzanna, I'm with you. I'll never-"

Before Cameron could finish, Melody had already reached the limits of her patience.

With a swift, practiced kick, she sent the stretcher he was sitting on toppling over.

After flipping him so effortlessly, the girl's voice rang out, cold and detached. "Regret my *ss."

Cameron flinched, visibly shaken by the brutal retort.

Even as he lay sprawled on the floor, he looked up at Melody with a fragile, almost pathetic expression.noveldrama

Still, his gaze held a mix of warmth and complexity as he said, "Mel, admit it.

"You and I used to be so close. It's only natural you'd feel something for me.

"I know I made a mistake by trusting Suzanna, and I'll live with these crippled legs for the rest of my life accept that. But... but I didn't know back then how much you sacrificed for me, how hard you worked to save my legs.

"So, Mel, I'm sorry. I let you down. I failed to live up to your efforts and expectations. "From now on ... will you give me a chance to make it up to you?"

Cameron's voice trembled with hope as he looked at Melody. Memories of the countless nights she had spent tirelessly working to save his legs flooded his mind, filling his chest with an unbearable weight.

He stared at her cold, indifferent expression.

His heart felt as though a relentless hammer was striking it again and again. The guilt he felt toward Melody surged like an unstoppable torrent, drowning and suffocating him.

Every limb, every bone in his body turned cold.

It turned out he owed Melody so, so much...

And now, all he wanted was to repay her. But would Melody ever give a broken man like him that chance?
