Farewell To My Endless Love
Chapter 431 My Weakness

Liam's POV:

Upon waking up in the morning, I made sure to buy a bouquet of Cassie's favorite flowers.

I went to the hospital, opened the door of her ward, only to find that there was nobody inside.

Seeing the empty room made me panic.

I immediately looked for Cassie's attending doctor.

"Doctor, where is Cassie?" I asked.

Seemingly confused, the doctor replied, "Is she not inside her ward?"

I shook my head with a serious expression.

"Hang on, sir." The doctor found information on Cassie in the computer. "Miss Jenner hasn't gone through the discharge formalities. Maybe she's just taking a walk in the garden downstairs."

I had a bad feeling about this.

I searched every nook and cranny of the hospital, but Cassie was still nowhere to be found.

What was even more terrifying was the fact that our daughter wasn't in the hospital's nursery room.

'How could they disappear just like that? Did someone take them away or did they really leave without saying goodbye to me?'

I was so worried that I hurried to Cassie's place.

The moment I opened the door, I felt so nervous.

It felt as though I was treading across a steel wire. In my heart of hearts, I hoped that Cassie was here.

But to my chagrin, she wasn't home.

Dejected, I fell to my knees and my mind went blank.

'What the hell is going on?'

It was then that I noticed an envelope on the tea table.

I opened it and saw a letter from Cassie inside.

"I'm so sorry, Liam. I know that you've cancelled the wedding for my sake, but I also know that the Hill family isn't going to let me go easily. I can't expect you to abandon your family, and that's why I've chosen to leave with our daughter. I wish you happiness. All my love, Cassie."

Aside from the letter, there were several pictures of our daughter inside the envelope.

Our baby was so fragile, but her glistening eyes seemed to be magical. They rendered me unable to take my eyes off her.

With trembling hands, I gripped the letter tightly.

"No! This can't be!"

Cassie risked even her own life just to be with me and then she gave birth to our child.

'How could she leave me and take our daughter with her? Someone must've forced her to do so!'

The moment I gathered my composure, I dialed Nancy's number at once.

She wasn't answering her phone.

I called her again and again, and Nancy finally answered the phone in a weak, hoarse voice.

"Liam, I don't think it's necessary for us to stay in touch."

"Did you take Cassie and my daughter away?" I shouted anxiously. Silence ensued on the other line for a few seconds.

It was then followed by Nancy's laughter.

"Hahaha! Oh, my God! That woman left you? Well, congratulations! This is just freaking hilarious!"

I flew into a fit of rage. "Nancy, you bitch! You'd best return them to me safe and sound."

"Don't expect her to come back to you. Maybe she came to make a scene at our wedding for a different purpose. And now that she's achieved her goal, she left. You're a jerk, Liam. No woman will ever truly love you," Nancy said sarcastically.

I was so angry that I gritted my teeth and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll call the police?"

"Go ahead," Nancy snorted before ending the phone call.

When I heard the busy tone, I was so enraged that I threw my phone onto the ground and roared at the top of my lungs.

Caroline's POV:

The second I got home from work, I received a call from Nina.

"That issue between the Hill family and the Wood family is so dramatic. It's like an episode out of a TV soap opera," she said.

"It's already been a few days since that happened. Isn't your reaction a little bit late?" I asked, letting out a sigh.

Trying to sound mysterious, Nina said, "I wasn't talking about their wedding. I just heard that Liam's mistress ran away with their child!" "Oh, that? I made that happen," I responded.

Nina was so surprised that she almost shouted, "What the fuck? Are you serious?"

"Whoa! Don't overreact. I just offered the woman enough money, and she left out of her own volition."

A faint smile appeared on my lips as I stared at myself in the dressing mirror. I could barely recognize myself.

"Caroline, why did you do that?"

"Because I couldn't stand it. Nancy may have gotten her retribution, but the Hill family still hasn't paid for all their devious crimes."

Nina sighed, "Just as they say, people do change when they get rich."

"The richer you are, the kinder you become," I answered while chuckling. Nina burst into laughter.

"By the way, are you really going to attend the Moore family's gathering this Friday?"

"Yeah. I miss my kids so much. They're my weakness," I answered firmly.

Nina expressed that she understood my reason, and decided to drop the subject.

After the phone call ended, I received an email from Hugo along with Charles' clinicopathologic analysis report attached to the email.

"I've checked the medical records sent from the hospital. Charles' illness can be treated, but currently, the patient's state of mind will have a great impact on his condition," Hugo commented. My mind was thrown into disarray. It felt like my mind was being split in two. On the one hand, I was happy that Charles had reaped what he had sown; but on the other hand, I didn't want him to suffer from his illness. I gathered my composure and sent a reply to Hugo's e-mail. "Thank you. For now, keep it a secret and make sure my Dad doesn't find out." Afterwards, I printed the report.

Suddenly, I received another notification. It was an email from Hugo again.

"Got it. I'll keep it a secret for you. But before you do anything, you need to look into your heart and figure out what you really want to do. Caroline, there's no such thing as safe love in this world. Once you fall in love with someone, it means you've given him the right to hurt you." After reading the e-mail, I lowered my gaze; lost in thought.

All of a sudden, I heard a knock on the door.

Upon opening the door, I saw Elena.

Elena greeted me with a smile and said, "Simon sent someone to deliver some tiramisu here. Would you like to go downstairs and eat it?"

I didn't eat much at dinner since I was super busy, so I was indeed a little hungry now.

"Let's go downstairs."

I went to the dining room and saw the tiramisu on the dining table. It was in an exquisite box.

I tried some of it, but I didn't like it that much.

"Simon heard that you liked tiramisu, so he asked a famous pastry chef to make some for you. You know, he's really attentive of you," Elena remarked with great admiration.

I could hear what she was saying, but none of the words registered into my mind.
