Raphael then caressed her belly and added in an even more hoarse voice, "You don't need to get involved this time."

Then he turned to leave.

Elissa tried to grab his arm. But Raphael moved too quickly, so she missed him. When he reached the door, he said to her over his shoulder, “I'll be back soon. The moon will be full in a few days and it'll be so beautiful. We can set up a table in the garden and enjoy our dinner under the moonlight."

Elissa could feel Raphael's tenderness from his words. She just couldn't refuse this version of him.

But she didn't say anything to him.

She just lay there and watched as he left the room.

The situation at the hospital was really dire. By the time Raphael arrived, Sandra had already passed away. But she had left a letter for him, asking if he had ever loved her.

Many girls loved others deeply but had no love for themselves. Sandra was one of them.

Standing in the corridor, Raphael held the letter while journalists and cameramen captured his disheveled state.

Most people thought he loved Sandra very much and was mourning her death.

But only he knew that what he felt was just regret.

He regretted getting involved with Sandra in the first place. If he had never been entangled with her, she might still be alive and perhaps even get married and live a happy life.

But now, she was gone.

She had died because of Raphael's desires and reluctance to let go.

He had so much back then. He already had Elissa, but he still couldn't let go of the past. As a result, he ended up making a lot of mistakes and hurting a lot of people.

Before long, the newspapers began to criticize Raphael harshly, and his company's stock price continued to plummet.

One by one, his employees began to quit, and his business partners abandoned him. Everyone had turned their backs on him, leaving him to face the disaster alone. In one night, it seemed as if everything he had worked for was about to vanish right in front of his eyes.

Soon, Elissa's father called, demanding that he divorce Elissa immediately.

Yousef even said he would make sure that Elissa had an abortion.

Raphael's voice was hoarse as he replied him, “She's over six months pregnant. How can you do that? Besides, Elissa wouldn't agree to it."

"I'll convince her!" Yousef shot back.

Even though it was late at night, Raphael sat alone at his company's lobby. The surroundings were dark, quiet and empty.

But just then, Elissa arrived.

She was heavily pregnant.
